Does this work for a twin bed with slats vs. a box spring?

Not well unless it is placed on one slat across to secure. We got thin plywood covered with a fitted sheet and placed it over our slats and it worked great

We have not used it with a slat bed we have a box spring but i do know it says right on the box and its information that it can be used for slat beds. We were going to get a slats bed before we decided on the box spring and we had already found this before we switched.

It may. If you see the picture, the end is almost like a t, so it would really depend on the width between the slats I think.

I don't think this would work very well for a bed with slats. It needs a large, flat even area to work on.

Yes, we use this on an IKEA day bed with slats and two mattresses, no box spring.

It should work with a twin on slats/platform. Were usin on a king playform bed with slats. Thr benefit of tr slats is that you can screw/anchor the straps to the slats if you choose whereas you couldn't with a box spring, we used without doing that as the weight of the king mattress secures the rail. I'm sure the included tethers would wrap the twin mattress no problem.

It needs to be firmly wedged between mattress and box spring, so it may not be as secure with slats.

Yes--we do not use a box spring--the wooden slats are intentionally bowed, to give flexibility, but slightly flimsy (we needed to use small pieces of cardboard to keep them in place--was not hard to do) but we are happy with the looks and durability of the bed.

I have it on a platform type bed with only a mattress, no box springs. There's a strap that comes with it that normally goes around a box spring, but I just put it around the slats or for you, where your springs would be. Worked for me.Hope this helps :)

I initially used it without a box spring and had a plywood board across the slats..but, after a few months I was over it and decided to get a box spring. Unless you have a very thick mattress there is a pretty big gap between the mattress and bottom of the headboard. I feel it's much better now.

I wouldn't recommend doing that. It's a good bed but I just have a mattress on and I can't imagine the slats supporting a box spring and a mattress

I have a full size mattress with a box spring. It will work on a twin bed. I am not sure, on a sleep number bed. I had a question for the Drive Medical, I called after hours, and they called me the next morning. I don't have the phone number.

Yes. In fact, all the box springs that I have seen for king sized mattresses use two box springs instead of one. Having said that, if you are asking if box springs for twin beds will work, I would say that they probably will, but I don't know for sure, but any mattress dealer should be able to answer that for you. Hope this helps.

I don't see why you wouldn't be able to use the box spring. I'm using two painted pallets for my xl twin bed. Enjoy your bed.

No need for a box spring, the slats are very sturdy. Besides, if you put a box spring on, I would think the mattress would tend to slide off when it is slept on.

There is really no reason to use a box spring at all. There are slats that go across the bed frame and that is all you need. If you did use a box spring, you would be rather high and your mattress might slide off trying to get in and out of bed.

The bed assist bar has a middle piece that slides between the matress and the box spring. It also has a strap from that middle piece to the opposite bed rail. Between those two supports, and the legs that stand on the floor, it is very stable. My mother uses it on a full bed, but I don't see why it wouldn't fit a twin bed.

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

I have a split king box spring on mine, so if a twin is the same size as one of the "split" sides, then yes :)

Our bed does not require a box spring. Our mattress fits directly on the slats of the bed. It works great!

It's not necessary, but you could ... just make sure the box spring has a structure of supports that are pretty close together so you don't end up with sagging sections. Remember, the foam mattress doesn't have as strong a "frame" to keep it from drooping in between slats. It works best on a platform frame -- try searching Amazon.com for "platform bed frame" to see a good idea of the support it should have. I have a queen-size Sleep Master metal bed frame foundation that works great (I just bought 12 risers to raise it up another few inches). Hope that helps!

Slats going from one side to the other would be best for a queen size bed. Probably just the side rails are enough support for a twin.

Nope. The wooden slats are only a few inches apart so a box spring isn't necessary
