How many and what size slats do I need to purchase?

It came with 3 or 4. Someone had commented about about just using the included slats but the putting the cardboard from the shipping material down over that before the mattress and that it was good. I have a box spring and needed 0 extra slats. I am not sure the size but there is a lip inside that they screw in to

It came with 3 that you screw down. Had mine for almost a year now with no issues. I'm glad I got this

We used 1" x 4" wood to create more slats to support the mattress. It only comes with three slats. We also covered the slats with felt or flannel to give it a clean appearance and to protect the mattress from wood splinters.

We didn't trust the bendable creaky slats that the bed came with so we bought thick plywood at a hardware store. The solid pieces of plywood cover the entire bottom surface of each bed. With the plywood, 2 adult sized people probably 160 lbs each have laid on a single mattress at the same time with no problem. Hope this helps.

The slats are made of wood and there are 13 , I have no boxspring and they connect in the middle and on the rails by plastic fittings, however, they included 1 metal peg that attaches to the middle rail to help with load bearing,my floor is hardwood and the bed collapsed when I was laying down (I'm 220 lbs 6'1) it collapsed several times so I had to put cinder block under the bed, and it's all good now, kind of a pain but it looks great in my city loft for the price. hope this helps, -Justin

You will need 12.4 or 13 packages of these. I got this by multiplying your 31*40 to get a total square footage of 1240. Each tile covers 20 sf so I took the 1240/20 and got 62 total tiles you will need. Then I took the 62/5 tiles per package and got 12.4 packages which means you will have to order 13 boxes or just stick with 12. I hope this helped:)

You're going to want more support. Especially if you want the mattress to last. Ikea sells a slatted bed base for under 50. It's just a bundle of slats connected by ribbon That you can roll out.

You will need 8 2x4's across the top, and another 2 for the bottom supports. You can view the instructions at 2x4 basics.com.

We have the 5 inch. 4 slats may cause some discomfort. We had 10 slats and didn't notice the slats. I would use more slats or a box spring for the most comfort.

Lots of slats provide ample support for mattress. Each slat is 2-3 inches wide. Mattress does not sag at all.

Either one would be fine. I have six inch ones, and the beds are very comfortable. There are more than the usual number of slats for stability and comfort!

The slats are made of two pieces that telescope to adjust to the bed width. The foot supports are threaded so you can adjust the height.

Yes can be used with slats and no bunkie board but you should have about 12-13 of them

There are 24 slats....12 on one half, 12 on the other half with a metal rod in the middle dividing the sides, which provides great durability.

There are 13 metal slats that fit easily into brackets and then need to be bolted into the brackets. We didn't receive the bolts though with the package so we just used zip ties for stability.

The slats are adjustable. You slide them on the end and space them as far apart as needed.

The bed only comes wih four narrow slats that fit in across the bed area. You need a box spring or a large piece of plywood to keep the bed from squeezing through the open space when you lay on it.

Sorry we sold this just a couple of months ago so can't tell you...but I can tell you that we did not need more slats and it was very comfortable.
