Hi all!
I am looking into investing in the San Diego Mattress Makers (Coronado-medium) all latex mattress, and was wondering if anyone had any experience with using the Thuma classic bed frame with this mattress or a similar all latex mattress? The bed frame itself is an investment as well, so I want to make sure I’m making the right decision. I have several friends who love the Thuma and I know the wood slats are just under 3" apart which is good for latex. Please let me know and thank you in advance!

Thuma bed frames are OK, I know several folks who have them and say they love them. Not all Thuma’s are created equal, so check which one you plan on buying. Yes you want one with slats less than 3" spaced. The slats should be at least 3/4" thick, 2-3" wide and if you can get tighter than 3" closer to 2" spaced the better, and the type of wood can matter. You do not want those slats to flex under any circumstances when you and your partner are on the mattress, with considering the weight of the mattress. I have never asked @SDMattressMakers what the weight of their mattresses are, but since they are latex, I would guess that a queen may come in at 135lbs and a king at 165lbs. Plus, your weights.
Keep that in mind when looking at the Thuma specs. There are some who complain about some wobble with Thuma’s, my friends and relatives, have not experienced that yet, but it is a common complaint. All japanese joinery frames are not created equal, so get assurances for if it doesnt work out.
A flimsy or inadequate bed frame will kill a good mattress in a NY minute. Whereas a great bedframe can make an average at best mattress feel like a luxury.
This is true with any name plate on the bed frame. Just check them carefully and you should be fine.

Thanks Maverick! I was looking at the queen size classic thuma with pillowboard.. It is only me on the bed (105 pounds) but yes, I am assuming my new mattress will be around 135+ pounds. Which bedframe would you recommend over the thuma for my case?
