divan bed is the best bet x

Yep, I'd recommend a divan, or a bed that has iron slats (or metal webbing, though that can sag), but I'm not so sure the latter are easy to find. Also perhaps some sort of custom-made block bed. But definitely nothing with wooden slats!

I had a moderately priced John Lewis drawer divan with a normal mattress, and it lasted 8–9 years no problem (and I'm heavy). I replaced it a few years ago with a Warren Evans divan, which is also good, but I think they've since gone out of business.

I have divan, it's probably the best by far out of all types of bed. One issue that I've found is they warp though and also make a noise after a while of usage (I would highly recommend attaching headboard to wall rather than the bed). I'm now looking into getting something stronger (highly recommended if have bigger clientèle) so I'm thinking reinforced divan. I don't like the orthopedic foam mattresses so get springed mattress but then that also makes noise and springs popping etc so looking at getting reinforced mattress aswell. I've priced it up at £500. Yes that's about £250 more than the average divan but you pay for what you get. The cheaper the bed the more likely you are to have to replace it sooner

I would just say buy a divan, unless you can find one of those old-fashioned cast iron frames, where the slats are also iron and/or a metal mesh.

100% get a divan! No chance of slats etc breaking. X

I did outcall to hotel last year and when I go in room the guy had put the mattress on the floor.
Say that way no noise so people not know what he is up to in room.
Never done anything like it before but It was a laugh..
Some clients tell me it's quite common  to go incall and mattress on the floor. Suppose it for same reason to keep noise down.

I got one from ebay 99p, had to collect though often beds on Freecycle if you're not worried about 2nd hand. The bedframe I got was originally from Dreams, anyway it is wooden and I used an electric drill to screw everything really tight. Has slats. No noise even if I jump on it and I'm heavy. I would buy a wooden bed next time too. Good luck.

I can recommend a wooden bed. I got one which had no footboard, which is better. It creaked a bit when I first got it, so I took the slats out and coated them with vaseline where they fit against other parts. I also replaced the middle support with a stronger one, and now it's perfect. I used to have a floor mattress, which is good but limits positions.
