About to buy a low profile foundation / slatted bunkie board to place on a traditional metal frame for my King latex mattress (DIY layers). The low profile foundation /slatted board is 1.5 inches high, and the depth of the metal frame it would sit inside is 1.75 inches high. So the edge of the metal frame will extend 1/4” above the foundation.
I’m worried about the latex sitting directly on the extra metal protruding up and getting damaged. The foundation is not returnable if there’s an issue.
Is this an actual issue or am I overthinking?
I can probably pull out the width of the frame slightly so that the metal edge would be past the latex mattress edge but that will reduce how much of the board is sitting on the rail for support and risk shifting. The rails are 1.5” wide.
