Do I need to put a layer between my slatted (2.5 inch apart) platform bed and the pocketed coil foundation (Combi-Zone Pocket Coil by Leggett and Platt) I plan to use? Planning to put latex on top of the spring core as my transition/comfort layers - and wrap it all in a quilted cover.
Concerned that the small pocket springs could poke through the casing fabric in areas that are not supported between slats.
And if I should put a layer in between, what should that be and suggestions on where I could pick it up.
Congrats on your new DIY journey, Kamath! Yes; the addition of a base layer foam will add stability to the pocketed coil foundation.
