what are the slats made of? I have a contemporary mattress and wonder if it will be comfortable as I will no longer have a boxpring

It's all metal. I have slept on it a few times now and it's comfortable for me.

They are aluminum just like the rest of the frame held together with plastic interlocking clasps. I have a single spring mattress on them and so far it has been a comfortable sleep.

Slats are metal bars, I have a pretty thick mattress on mine so it is still comfortable.

The slats are made of wood and there are 13 , I have no boxspring and they connect in the middle and on the rails by plastic fittings, however, they included 1 metal peg that attaches to the middle rail to help with load bearing,my floor is hardwood and the bed collapsed when I was laying down (I'm 220 lbs 6'1) it collapsed several times so I had to put cinder block under the bed, and it's all good now, kind of a pain but it looks great in my city loft for the price. hope this helps, -Justin

If you slats you can use just a mattress. It can be used with a box spring. That's how I use it

Real wood and bamboo. No need for box spring because the bamboo takes care of the comfort. You just need a mattress

The foam part of the bottom of the matress is pretty supportive. If you have a platform style bed with "slats" you don't need a box spring. If your bed does not have something like that you would need a box spring

Sorry we sold this just a couple of months ago so can't tell you...but I can tell you that we did not need more slats and it was very comfortable.

I have a traditional box spring foundation and it's fine, no problems at all.I think this mattress would be best on a solid type of surface like the top of a box spring or a platform type foundation--I'm not sure about a slatted bed frame, but the mattress is very firm, and the bottom is a different, stiffer fabric that is stretched tighter and it isn't padded and soft like the top of the mattress is, so I think it would be fine even on a slatted bed.

I do not believe this frame will offer the same support as the slats you have without a box spring.

The slats included are curved (the ones that support bed) we don't have a box spring on ours but it is a thick matress with no problems. If yours is 8", that is really a thin bed, I would prob ably get a box

I am using a slatted base and it works fine. I was worried about the foam bending through the slats, but it has not. I should also mention that I kept a clean piece of cardboard from the interior of the box that the mattress shipped in, and put this piece of cardboard under where our bodies go. It seems to have done the trick - and for free!

There is a slatted base. The only reason you would need a box spring is if your mattress is really thin, just to keep it from being so low to the ground aesthetically, but not for functionality.

There are no slats required. It has a heavy steel wire mesh that you set the mattress on. It does not require box springs. I bought it for my guest room and simply put a nice nine inch thick mattress on it, and it is quite comfortable.

I was skeptical about the wooden slats too, me being 300+lbs was nervous even getting on. months later, holds great extremely comfortable. Don't think a metal frame would match up & or fit in there instead of the wooden slats. No box spring needed. I really like it.

I use this bed with my box spring and mattress. I have had it for about a year and a half and I have no complaints. I didn't encounter trouble with the slats because I opted not to screw thru them. Those pieces are made for stability which is only needed when shifting the bed but its a king size monster and I have no intention breaking my back trying to move it.

I did not put plywood on top of the slats. I got a good mattress and the bed is really comfortable. Since the closely spaced wooden slats are essentially the same as having plywood, I don't think another 1/2 inch of wood would do anything. This bed frame is not meant to have box springs. I've been very happy with the bed frame.

The slats aren't too sturdy I would Prob put a box spring..it will also look better because without one, the mattress will only be like six inches off the floor

You don't need a box spring. The foam mattress is awesome & the frame has the wooden slats! Great bed!
