I have a high traditional rice bed. It has five slats. The slats have the end of each supported on wood siderails. What supports this foundation?

If I understand your question correctly, the foundation would rest on the side rails that currently support your slats. Or, you could just rest this foundation on top of the 5 slats you currently have. I have a regular metal bed frame, which has side rails about 1 1/2" wide upon which the foundation rests. It is quite secure and fits well.

No it is not like a foundation for the bed. Its good for extra support is you have a pedestal type bed frame.

No, just any support will do. Slats on a frame, closely spaced, or, just any type of solid support.

This foundation is very sturdy. Easily holds over 500 pounds with no creaking, cracking or other problems. I put together one for my queen bed and one for the full-size bed that my daughter uses. Follow the instructions when assembling, you should not have any problems.

I supported it with rebar (outer) and 8ft bamboo stakes (inner). I used it to support my climbing cucumbers, bush beans, and tomato plants.

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.

You do require a foundation of some type. I built a frame with 2 by 4's and put 2 by 4 legs under it and plywood on top to support the mattress. We store stuff under the bed in Rubbermaid containers. A frame and two twin sized foundations would work, but I prefer the platform because of the storage space.

:) Yes this is a million times better than wood slats. It is a complete foundation system that fully supports a mattress without a box spring. And it comes with brackets to mount a headboard and footboard if you so choose. It's high off the floor so if you tried to use a box spring too, you'd need a step stool to get on your bed. It's designed with enough support to keep your mattress warranty intact with or without a box spring while many other frames would not. My husband and I are large people and it fully supports us. Just be sure to buy a full size platform...full size is 4 inches narrower than a queen size.

Nanette: In my case this was a replacement mattress for my Queen platform bed. It has a series of slats as a foundation which works beautifully.

The raised garden has at least two screws on each corner which gives it a lot of support. Hope this helps.

Yes. The slats are supported by the outside rails and feet in the center of the bed. Seems to be a very sturdy design.

The support beam is held in place by brace on each end. Then there are approx 15 slats that are screwed into the side rails. I have 2 great Danes 180 total and I weight 200 and my my daughter ends up in the bed and total about 600 pounds. I have no problems with support. I don't think any problem on the wood floor. I would think you would not have any problems on a wood floor, my bed room is carpeted.

Yes, there are 3 lateral support wood slats/bars that screw into the side rails; the bed it quite sturdy once all screws are in place and tightened. The frame is awesome.

It has slats inside that are not adjustable. I used felt to hold the soil in. Stones might be too heavy.

It has steel slats across and then a heavy wire grid work of about 4x4 squares over the slats. We use it with a foam mattress and it supports it just fine. Several guests have slept there and all have commented that it's very comfortable.

place the support where it is needed the most, but keep in mind that wood rails could warp with continuous weight and other parts of the wood rails not supported will give. If your side slates are sturdy I would place it in the center support. If they're not sturdy, I would place one in the center of each slate. hopefully this suggestion is of help to you.

The slats are not sturdy. Replace them with 2x6s on edge and then use plywood. Not box sprint will be required. Worked for me
