Is this flat like a board or does it have slats like a box spring?

It has slats with a covering that makes it appear as flat and makes it appear like a small box spring.

It is a system of wood slats connected by heavy tape. It rolls up compactly and is very sturdy.

The slats are wide apart. So I bought a compressed board at lowes for $20, had it cut to fit the gaps and put mattress on it. It saves the extra height of the box springs

I did not use slats. The box spring is fully supported the length of either side and across the center.

The bed frame has slats. The trundle is more of a mesh of heavy wires. I can't take it all apart to send a picture though. I am very happy with the whole package.

Yes,It does come with slats and is very sturdy! I think it was a good purchase for me.

It is indeed shallow. The slats are just wood pieces running across all the way down the bed. Each one must be screwed in. They support the mattress. It does replace the need for a box spring. A mattress is all that will fit on it. I got this for my son, I've had it for 3 years now. It's lasted through a move (where I had to take it apart completely) still sturdy and strong.

It does have slats that are built into the two frame bottom pieces(two for the King frame, which is what we have). I don't know the precise number, but there are many. With this frame you can chose to use a box spring or not. We love this bedframe with our temperpedic mattress. It is solid, quiet and easy to assemble. We've had it for 3 months now and we feel it is one of the best purchase we've evere made! Hope

The support slats come with it. You do not need nor would you want a box spring as it would make it so high as to cover the headboard. We picked up a mattress at Costco and it is perfect.

It has slats and they are not strong enough to support a mattress. Mattress only will sit too low. You will want the box spring for support and to raise the mattress up.

This bed does NOT need a box spring. The slats are shaped in such a way that eliminates the need for one.

No wood slats....metal bar/grate that you screw into the wood....very secure.

It comes with slats for secure mattress support, no box springs needed. Just add mattresses and you're ready to go!

It's a thick stiff board. Sort of looks and feels like foam board, but it doesn't bend and is much stiffer and more rigid.

I bought this for an old wooden bed that used slats. They were lost, so I bought wider wood ( 6 ", I think) from Menards and used more pieces so that they were closer together and worked pretty much like a platform. No box spring. Enjoy your mattress!

Yes. The slats are 5/8" thick x 3" wide plywood. The slats were connected at the factory with two nylon straps (stapled to each end of every slat) to maintain uniform 3" spacing between slats. Each slat was pre-drilled for screws which connect the slats to a pre-drilled frame inside the two side rails. This design was very easy to assemble, and the bed is incredibly sturdy. You do not need a box spring; just buy a good mattress.

I have a slatted bed frame, similar to an Ikea bed frame and no, you do not need a box spring. I agree with another reviewer that this mattress is very firm and I also have put a topper over it. I'm not a heavy person but when I sleep on my side, I can feel the slats on the bottom of the bed on my hips. I don't have this problem any more with the topper but it was an extra expense I wasn't expecting.

:) 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.
