How many slats are there? Do they provide good enough support without the mattress sagging between slats?

There are 13 slats on one half and 13 on the other; part of the frame goes down the middle and the slats snap into the frame of the bed and down the middle slat. No sagging that I have seen

13 Slats on each side with a long metal piece to support slats so the weight put on mattress would distribute evenly. Mattress would not sag between slats. This is an excellent bed. I also purchase a Dreamfoam Bedding mattress from Amazon to go with it. An excellent combination. I am very happy with both purchases. See the link for the mattress.

there are 26 slats-13 on each side-very easy to assemble and no problem supporting the mattress.

I am pretty sure there were 26 of them-they attach to the middle and there are 13 on each side-they were very easy to put together and the mattress does not sag at all.

i gave my couch away a few months ago as i have moved into smaller quarters so can't give you a measurement, but i can say the slats were 'fine'.. they supported the weight well, were certainly not overly narrow nor spaced too far apart. this is a sturdy couch that will last you a long time. PS, there is enough flex to the wood so you do not feel as if you are lying on a big flat rock.-- and don't let the price scare you - you get MORE than your money's worth.

Each bunk comes with 13 slats for mattress support, including the trundle. No bunkies are needed.

The wood slats are about 12 inches off the ground and support my conventional mattress without a box spring. I would however recommend a box spring if you are using a foam mattress

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.

there are slats..which we currently have our mattress on..it's ok. If I wanted it perfect I would get a "bunky board" type board to put over slats. they sell them at bedding stores. There is wood supports in the middle.

I purchased the double bed, so I can only speak to that one. It came with slats and a middle support for the double, so I should think that the larger sizes would have the support as well, and probably also the slats. We are happy with the bed. It's simple, and for the price, no complaints. It looks nice, and doesn't take up too much room in the tiny bedroom where it is located.

I have same mattress, fits perfect with full support. Slats about 12 inches from floor yet not relevant to mattress fitting. Make sure bolts are tight so slats don't slip out. Minor issue that was user induced!

I have no problems using a futon mattress on this bed. The slats are spaced about 3.5" apart and give plenty of support.

Steve, I'm about your size and I have this same model in a twin size. It is very well made and supports me fine. It comes with plenty of slats for mattress support.

I am using a foam mattress without a board. Plenty of slats provide all the support needed.

I can go home and count how many there are, but they're wood slats, they connect to the frame by plastic connectors that pop into pre-drilled holes on the frame to told them in place. The way they're connected is super secure, the plastic is thick and sturdy, and the arch of the wood slats is comfortably springy without cracking or snapping. This is a platform bed, so it's intended to not be very springy. I have zero complaints about mine!

I have this bed in a full size with just an 8" memory foam mattress on it, used as a guest bed, and have received no complaints from any of my adult children that have slept on it. The space between slats is ~3 inches which isn't too bad, but I've only had this bed for a year so I don't know yet if there might be longer-term issues with the mattress holding up over time.

the memory foam mattress we purchased is excellent..the slats are close enough together that the mattress is secured and no sagging.we love it!!!

It came with 3 or 4. Someone had commented about about just using the included slats but the putting the cardboard from the shipping material down over that before the mattress and that it was good. I have a box spring and needed 0 extra slats. I am not sure the size but there is a lip inside that they screw in to

I bought a foam mattress without using a board and the wood slats that support the mattress is sufficient for support.

We have two on our loft beds and they are thin enough that they don't come above the guard rails, but are cushy enough that the kids don't feel the slats. They LOVE their mattresses.
