Does this bed come with slats? If so how many and do they provide adequate center support?

There are 2 steel cross beams that run sideways across the mattress about 1foot from the head and foot and another beam that runs along the center from head to foot. It provides plenty of support. Picture a capital H turned on its side.

They are definitely dead bolted in. Very secure! Slats are provided for mattress/box spring support once they were in place the frame was steady and firm. No bed frame needed. I had to make sure myself because my son was going to have to get used to having a full size bed. Funny thing you would never know it was once his crib. So worth saving the crib.

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.

They do have a lip edge that you can put a mattress right on, but with any amount of weight, you'll fall right through. I have a box spring on ours, and b/c of the width of the headboard and foot board of my particular bed, I added slats as well. Cheap enough to make yourself.

I did not use slats. The box spring is fully supported the length of either side and across the center.

It does not have slats you will need a box spring. You cannot use the frame without a box spring

The slats included are curved (the ones that support bed) we don't have a box spring on ours but it is a thick matress with no problems. If yours is 8", that is really a thin bed, I would prob ably get a box

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.

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...

This bed comes with several lower slats that will support any mattress you should choose. We bought this for our 11 year old, and is supposed to hold up to 1000#! There has been 5-10 year olds upon this bed( yes, st once!) and it has held well!

you don't need any slats. It is designed for a memory foam mattress to lay right over the top. It eliminates the box spring, I should have put this thing in years ago!

Yes, that's what we did. I do recommend that you get additional slats for better support. The few that it comes with really are not sufficient.

The bed comes with slats but in my opinion, they can put in a few more. Having box springs is safer. I have a 9" box, 12" mattress and it levels with the end height of the bed.

Yes there is some, it's only 5 inches clearance height though so you will need pretty thin storage boxes.Also there are two center legs that support the bed along the center spine of the bed, so take precise measurements once bed is up. Overal, great bed for the price!!���

It comes with slats for secure mattress support, no box springs needed. Just add mattresses and you're ready to go!

Yes, it does come with a frame and support (middle support on queen). Good deal for the price - looks good. Only drawback, as with almost EVERYTHING you can buy at a reasonable price, it's made in CHINA. Wish we could figure out how to manufacture goods and sell them at a reasonable mark up, so everyone can enjoy the pride of good quality, made here, at a reasonable price.

You do not need a separate box spring. Support slats are included. I have had an issue with the mounting system for the support slats in that some parts were not shipped and double the amount of a similar part was included. They are shipping the replacement parts ... hopefully they will arrive today! ... I am figuring that if the support system is too weak (I am a big guy) I will go get a slat support system from IKEA and I will still be money ahead on other comparable beds. The frame itself is very sturdy. The slats may be the weakest part of the system ... but I will know better after I have been able to sleep in the bed. *** UPDATE *** The parts arrived yesterday. I installed the slats. The bed (I have the full-size version) is sturdy and solid, with just enough "give" to make for a comfortable night's sleep! It was great being back in my own, "new" bed! I have a big frame and I felt very secure and well-supported by the frame and slats.
