I have a twin bed with 2 metal slats with a 5" boxspring that sits on top. Can I attach this to the wood slat in the center of the boxspring?

These units are designed to go on wooden support slats under the box spring not on the box spring itself. Replace your metal support slats with wooden slats and you could use these.

If you mean the wood slat that is part of the box spring the answer is no. The sides of your box spring must be resting on two metal slats that run the length of the box spring. You would need to place a wooden board underneath the box spring in the center of one metal slat across to the other then this Bed Claw would be installed in the center of this wooden board.

NO, This center support is not designed to work with beds that have wooden sides rails. Wood type side rails usually hook into the matching wood headboard and wood footboard. The wooden side rails often include a wooden lip on the inside of the rails where wooden or steel center support slats can be securely fastened with wood screws. Please feel to contact us for help with this type of center support. (Doug Belleville STL Beds Manager)

Elizabeth, I have a wooden bed..we took the wood slats out and replaced them with 4 sets of these metal slats. We have a lot more support and our old mattress, feels brand new again. Instead of buying another expensive mattress..we just replaced the slats and added extra. We cannot believe the comfort in our mattress..and now we are getting a better night sleep. Yes..we have a boxspring, with a piece of plywood over the boxspring..this helps to save the life of our set..and it is perfect..we won't be mattress shopping for several more years.!!

We attached ours to a metal bed frame without a problem except that one of the bolt receivers on the headboard was stripped. We used a screw an inch or so away instead.

I used two separate twin bed frames but just used the SGT Knots on the mattresses not the box springs. It really works great when you add the pad that goes on top of the mattresses so you can't feel where they are joined together. It should work just the same with a king-size bed frame too.

My full-size came with two smaller-diameter metal vertical legs which support the center of the bed- They don't seem pictured here. I would think that the limiting factor would be the breaking point of the wooden slats, which are bowed into the mattress. It's seems like a very sturdy bed once the screws are tightened up...

Your use the box spring. It has wood slats you attach to the side rails and then the box spring and mattres sit on top. You won't need a metal frame with this. I love my bed by the way.

This will ONLY work WITH a boxspring. This is not a platform bed.. It just looks like one :) I have a boxspring and it's perfect

I put a low profile box spring with my memory foam but If you add additional slats I'm sure it would be fine

Well, I don't have any slats, just the box spring and mattress sitting on this support so I wouldn't think it would be a problem.

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

You would use this frame in place of wooden slats. As the picture shows, it does not connect to the headboard or footboard. Only to wooden side rails and they screw in with wood screws. I hope this helps.

Yes. My daughter's bed is a platform bed with no boxspring tucked right into the corner of her room. There are straps that go from the rail and they run between the mattress and platform. The straps end with a round metal disc that then rests perpendicular against the other side of the mattress to hold it in place. Works great. We've never had a problem.

Attach them to the center of the slats if they are wooden to increase sturdiness

Maybe - one issue I had with the slats is that they moved around on my wood framed bed so I used screws to fix their position. On a standard metal frame, it depends on how well the slats fit horizontally across the bed frame. If it's snug, you might get by without fixing the slats in place; otherwise, epoxy might be necessary to hold them in place.

You may use a box spring, a wooden frame with slats no more than 4" apart, or a metal bed base.

If you pre-drill holes into the legs, I don't see why not. It may be a bit longer than your standard boxspring though. (...I had to make a bedskirt to the correct length...)
