Question: I have 9" dunlop latex mattress & was told I would need slats spaced 2.5 - 3" apart and a center support. Is this solid enough without it?
Document: We ended up getting an untreated Douglas Fir 4x4 board and cut 2 12-1/8&#34; legs from it that we put snugly under the middle of each rail (see pic). Now the bed doesn't sag and is much more supportive.Note that if you have a natural latex mattress, you will also want 3&#34; or less between slats for proper support. This bed has 3.5&#34; spacing between the slats.
The king size bed did come with 2 mid-rail supports that run from the headboard to the footboard, but those supports had no extra "legs" underneath them. Maybe the manufacturer feels you don't need them, but I fabricated 4 legs and attached them myself. I have never seen a king size bed that didn't have legs in the center of the bed. Also, this bed does not work with a select comfort or sleep number bed mattress without major alterations.
Item was easy to assemble, except the king size comes with two support beams, and without a mallet and a wood shaver I would never have gotten it together. Still, instructions pretty good and to the point. It only took my thirty or so minutes. Looks great put together, and is very comfortable with my spring mattress. Will be even better once I get a headboard though.
Shipping for this item did say 2-3 weeks, but it actually took over a month for us to receive it. It was a bit nerve-wracking, waiting for it, because for a few nights in our new house, my daughter was relegated to a mattress on the floor of her new room. It would have been better if the time line had been honest about the length of time before delivery.That being said, it arrived intact, with all hardware.
We needed a platform bed frame without a headboard since I bought a cool Moroccan style headboard that I wanted to use. This was the perfect solution for a simple, sturdy bed. I had a frame from IKEA before this one, but it had a headboard and the slats under the mattress would bow and fall through the frame. This bed will not have that problem! We put this bed together in under and hour including the sheets! It's sturdy and quiet! Overall a great buy!
It was easy to put together and is pretty solid. The only downside is the center support running the length of the bed. It is very inadequate for this size bed (queen) and needs to be much sturdier. Weight on the bed causes the center to sag. I fixed this by simply putting a crate under the center support to keep it from sagging.
Update -- 3 months later and the center beam has not yet broken as I assumed it would when I first saw it. As a result I am upgrading the bed from 3 to 4 stars. I will continue to update if anything changes.I ordered the full bed. Overall the bed has come together and looks nice. However I have some qualms. On the construction front, the holes drilled into the legs of the bed did not match up properly with the holes on the footboard and headboard.
This bed is very sturdy and the unfinished wood is attractive and can be stained if you want to (we didn't). We put one of those rolled spring mattresses that pop out to a full-size bed on top, and the slats with the bed provided plenty of support. It's a heck of a lot more attractive than a box spring or a bed skirt. My husband and I put two beds together in under an hour--you don't need any tools of your own. Simple and rustically elegant.
I love how easy and simple it was to put together and take apart when I am moving it to another room. A few people have mentioned that the slats aren't screwed in as if it were a problem but I actually see it as a bonus that it is easier to take apart and put together. The slats do fit rather snugly with out any hardware. I would never screw them down!
Why didn't you put a picture of your bedframe without mattress on it ?I cannot see the slats ...
Answer: Hi, I have the twin platform bed frame.  The 2 3/4 inch slats are spaced about 3 inches apart.  There is no center support however this frame is solid.
