Hello. I am hoping that someone would be so kind and generous as to answer my question.. how high off ground and spacing between slats? I need asap :)

The height from the ground to the top of the platform is 1"5/8. The spacing varies as the slats are different sizes. I am adding some photos with a measuring tape placed next to the item so you can see in detail what the measurements are. Just scroll down to the reviews and to the right of the page you will find the customer photos. Hope this helps.

There's a small amount of room between the slats that support the mattress and the floor, but it's not accessible unless you remove the mattress. Also, since the slats are screwed down and not just laying there, it's pretty much unusable. And it's only like 5 inches or so max.

Can't answer about the slats right now but I use it over a memory foam mattress support

We layed the mattress on a platform bed with slats that are 3in apart however I would recommend having lowes cut a piece of plywood and lay that on top of the slats.

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.

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

The gap in between slats is 2 3/4" and width of slats is 1.5", hop this helps.

we have a twin and it is just fine without a box spring. Our slats are only about 5 inches apart. Are you sure you have all the slats?

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.

Hi, I have the twin platform bed frame. The 2 3/4 inch slats are spaced about 3 inches apart. There is no center support however this frame is solid.

your slats will be fine. i have my mattress on a trundle, which is very similar. i also have another foam mattress on Ikea slats, so you're good. (y)

Hey, Linda - Glad I could help. The slats stay in place - they don't make noise when the unit is turned on high, which is a HUGE plus. :)

I wouldn't put it directly on slats. I guess it would mainly depend on distance between slats though... Anything more than 4 or 5 inches probably not. I would buy a sheet of plywood and place that down on the slats first and put the mattress on that.

I bought this mattress for my son who has a platform bed. The bed had wooden slats as the platform, which I didn't feel would be strong enough. We bought 3/4 inch plywood and laid it over the slats.works perfect.

put a piece of plywood under it first. it's very cushy and might squish through the slats depending on the spacing. Mine is supported my a metal mesh net thing now, was directly on floor. comfortable both ways.

I did not simply because with the box spring on top of the platform frame slats the bed was about 4 1/2 feet off the ground. so we just put it directly onto the slats...if you purchase just be careful during construction as some of the wood is kind of thin and soft so screws can shred or tear if you have to screw in/unscrew and screw again

What they said... The slats are about 3" apart. I considered adding slats to make a more solid foundation, but my Novaform Gel Foam mattress indicated that it should not be placed on a solid foundation. The foam needs some air circulation. Hope that helps.
