How any inches are between the slats?

The slats are 2-1/4 ins wide and the gap between slats is 4-1/4 ins approx. The slats are connected with a couple of fabric tapes, I think this is to make laying them out easier, rather than for anything structural. If you cut the tapes you can probably put the slats any distance apart you want. I think only three or so of the slats are screwed to the frame, the tape keeps the other slats in place, again you can screw them in wherever you want, I followed the assembly instructions. The slats are standard wood, you can probably get more 'slats' at a DIY store. I see one person said 2 ins apart, I took the mattress off and measured mine, they were 4-1/4 ins approx.

Approx 4 inches. I recommend this box spring. Easy to assemble, easy to move. Cover for box spring is good. This is "rough" wood not sanded & stained. Great buy.

Yes, the slats where the mattress sits are only about two inches below the edge of the bed frame.

About 4" between slats. Plastic caps are slightly wider than slats. This a very light weight but efficient frame.We use it with an air mattress.

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

From the wooden slats to the top of the top rail is 13.5 inches. (We got a 7 inch mattress which works great. The bed recommends a 6inch mattress.)

The metal slats are a 1" wide and the slats are 10 1/2" apart. I don't notice any damage to my mattress, and my mother has been sleeping on the mattress for the past year. I'm still happy with my purchase.

Sorry it took so long to answer - sick with the flu. The slats are 1 1/2 inches apart.

You'd certainly still need slats. The gap between cross rails is probably 18 inches. A single mattress on these rails would be painful!

I measured the 3 slats that come with the bed: each one is 54 and 1/2 inches long, and the lip on which the slats rest is 1/2 inch wide. The whole bed is 56'' between its outer edges.

I have a 12 " thick foam mattress in mine. It is separating and the slats are not held in place any more. Bad quality.

Guesstimating, about 11 to 12 inches between floor and boxsprings, but I have 5-inch extenders under my bedframe to raise the height of the bed.

The width of the slats wasn't the problem. They were too long to fit on the twin bed frame by one inch. I had to saw off the ends of each bed slat in order to use them.

Near as I can tell (my cat being in my face) the slats on my twin bed are about 6" apart.

You can add 11 wooden furring strips between the slats provided. They can be purchased at Home Depot or Lowes for about a $1.15 each.You will have to cut each to 56 5/8 inches as the furring is 96 inches long. Space between slats is reduced to 1 1/2 inches between them.You'll also have to provide the extra screws and be sure to drill pilot holes first.

I just measured the slats and they are approx 77 in X 39 in and 3/4 of an inch thick

The slats are close (2") from the TOP of the frame, so only a couple inches of any mattress will be within the frame. I have a thinner older mattress and I don't use a box spring because the head board seemed to short and there was too much mattress showing (for me). It looks now the way I think a platform bed should. PS: The bottom of the frame/rails is only 6" from the floor. I was happy about this because my (at the time) puppy could not get under the bed... But turns out her toys could AND SHE COULDN'T RETRIEVE THEM HERSELF, so I have to keep a hanger in my nightstand that I reach under the bed and slide her toys out from under (the things we do lol) The slats are close (2") from the TOP of the frame, so only a couple inches of any mattress will be within the frame.

there is 10.5 inches of clearance between the floor and the bad frame. i like this bed, it's a solid and simple platform bed.
