Could you please clarify if this bed has Solid base (Similar to Shouthshore beds) without any gaps in slats?

The Base is not as solid as it should be ...we didnt buy a box spring , and we noticed that the sides of our memory foam mattress were sort of sinking . My Husband reinforced the base with a wood plank and now it's fine / BTW it's a Beautiful Bed

There are wood slats. It does not have a solid wood platform. But overall it feels more solid than the metal frame

There are slats for the bedto sit on. Problem is they are not solid slats there are plastic pieces that two slats fit into those plastic pieces have knobs that are pushed into the wood like what you would see on car trim. It is stable but if you have a memory foam mattress it leaves impressions. I put three particle boards over the slats so I wouldnt have the impressions and create a more solid base just in case.

this mattress is currently on the top bunk. i can't remember if it has slats or not, i bought it for my grandaughter. there has been no problems at all as the top bunk. if the bottom bunk is the same as the top bunk i see no reason to use it there, it is very sturdy.

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 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 apologize for the delay but I bought 2 full size beds for the deep pillow top mattresses and there is no gap. They fit perfect. .. no box spring needed and the bed was really easy to put together with 2 people!

I can go home and count how many there are, but they're wood slats, they connect to the frame by plastic connectors that pop into pre-drilled holes on the frame to told them in place. The way they're connected is super secure, the plastic is thick and sturdy, and the arch of the wood slats is comfortably springy without cracking or snapping. This is a platform bed, so it's intended to not be very springy. I have zero complaints about mine!

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!

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

A box spring is optional (not necessary). Bed comes with a slat support system. Thanks, ModHaus

The 'slats' are 3.5 inches wide, and they are also 3/4 inch thick, so very sturdy and very well milled. They are about, 2.5 inches apart (barely). They will provide good support and will not, like some metal frames transport misery through the futon. This is why I searched for a completely wooden frame.

There are 13 slats in the base in either side for a total of 26. The slats, like I said in my review are the only downside to this bed because they are unfinished and of cheaper quality so they cause squeaking.

I purchased a nice memory foam mattress with no box springs. It works just fine and is a very nice bed. It did come a little scuffed up from shipping but I didnt want the hassle of sending it back. It does come with support slats which are wood. They look flimsy, but surprisingly not at all.

This definitely needs a box spring. The slats are few and far-between. You absolutely need a box spring.
