does frame need support cross slats

This frame is the best we have ever had! You will not need support slats. You don't need to purchase anything extra for this frame. You will love how sturdy it is and how it does not slide across a hard wood floor.

I can only speak for the Queen-size frame. I say, Definitely Not. The frame is very strong and has plenty of support. All box springs already have plenty of cross slats. If you are putting the mattress directly onto the frame, you definitely need some more cross slats, or better yet, 3/4" plywood.

I don't have one and have used it for 10 months no problem. I did order a frame with it that has a lot of support so if you plan to just put it on slats maybe.

Yes, but you will need additional support if you dont have a box spring. Either added slats or what o did is to fit a piece of plywood to it.

Slats are fastened to the frame. Probably a good idea to have two people working on it as it's not the lightest thing around. :)

This bed frame can use either. If you DO NOT use a box spring, I highly recommend using slats AND something called a "Bunkie Board" (similar to a box spring but a third of the height) which combined give added support and strength.

it does not come with slats. You need a box spring with this particular bed frame. Hope this helps

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.

Yeah the frame has complete supports across it. But I'm sure the edges will stick out if your ok with that. I believe this bed came in a full too.

No, I didn't. I have a frame with slats and it doesn't need more than that.

There are flexible wooden slats that go across the frame and support the mattress. Before, I had a spring mattress directly on the frame and a few of the slats would slip off repeatedly. Once I bought a new mattress w/ a box spring, I had no problems. I don't think it's required, but I personally had less issues after I used one.

I believe the struts of the frame are placed closely enough so that an additional foundation is not needed. It should support any mattress without a problem. If necessary, one could always lay a piece of plywood or even corrugated board under the matress, but I didn't find that necessary at all.

I have slats on my sleigh bed and the way this is constructed it supports the foam mattress on top on this hunky boards foundation. The frame is very well constructed and the top is a thin solid wood to fully support the mattress. The framing underneath is solid to work on slats

Does this attach to the box springs or is there need for a separate slat that rests on the frame?

Yes, the support bar underneath the slats is from very lightweight wood. We have replaced the supports with much sturdier wood and now they will support more weight.

Yes, that's what we did. I do recommend that you get additional slats for better support. The few that it comes with really are not sufficient.

no but you can try getina a whole new frame but would suggest getting a different one had an ongoing issue with the wood slats on mine.

You could, but I'd advise against it. The slats rest on central supports which have the option of being installed with bolt-on extensions in case you want to use the frame without a box spring. These supports are little more than screwed in segments of 1x4, and are therefore incapable of resisting any force not oriented directly in the vertical axis. Were you to install risers, you'd have to be extremely careful not to move in the horizontal plane, or you may find that the support tips the riser to the point where the riser no longer provides any kind of support and you' ll find yourself breaking through the slats at that location.
