How much of a gap is there between the slats? I have read that the slats for a memory foam mattress should be no more than 3 inches apart.

the memory foam mattress we purchased is excellent..the slats are close enough together that the mattress is secured and no sagging.we love it!!!

If I remember correctly it's right around 3- would I buy this again- no way. I should have gone back to bobs furniture

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

I did not note a big gap -- we have put the twin mattress from her old bed on this frame and it works fine -- also standard bedding -- the one thing to note is that it is very difficult for an adult to get onto this bed and so changing the bedding has had to be simplified to something my seven year old can handle by herself with instructions from me -- for us this meant using only a fitted sheet with a comforter on top

Yes. Before buying our foam mattress, I called the company and described this foundation to them. The spaces between the slats are a little wider than 3" (what is suggested for foam mattresses) but since there is a cover on it, it's fine.

I added my box spring for height, however the slats are close together I imagine that if the foam mattress is thick enough it would be fine.

We recommend as per the assembly instructions that the gap between the slats are less than 4mm.

The slats are 1 3/4" wide and the space between them is about 5/8th." There can be a 1/32nd difference in the space between slats but it's not noticable without a tape measure.

it depends. if you have a regular spring mattress you're good to go. the slats are about as far apart as they are wide. i have a memory foam mattress and would have needed a box spring but opted instead to buy a large plywood slab the size of the bed.

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

There are 12 slats. Each slat is approximately 2 and 3/4 of an inch wide. The slats are approximately 3 and 1/4 inches apart.

I don't use any kind of foundation or box spring with my mattress. My bed frame has a set of wooden slats spaced about one inch apart and it has worked perfectly. Foam mattresses generally are much lighter in weight and considerably denser than standard mattresses. The density means that they are less likely to sag or bend out of shape than an innerspring mattress.

I believe there will be a gap between the two mattresses. The headboard is several inches wider that the mattress. The bed frame attachments are centered on the head board. As a single its great.

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

The slats alone might pose an issue - I did not try it once I saw how far they would be spaced. I placed a plywood board from Lowe's ($12) on the slats to support my memory foam mattress and it works great.

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.

The slats are screwed in and 12 inches from the floor. I would advise you to use a bunkie board under your mattress. The bed looks great!

No, the bed has wood slats that support the mattress, there is about 1 1/2 inches between each slat.
