Can the bed slats be used in between the box spring and the mattress

You could use them in between the box spring and the mattress if you wanted to - however, I wouldn't recommend it. There is not a coated "finish" on the wood, so the wood does splinter in some areas. I would think that over time this would snag your mattress quite a bit.

That is what I did, seems to work fine. The bars are a bit too long to put in the frame

Yes, I think you would have to use a box spring unless you add extra slats for support. If you used just a mattress you would need a really thick mattress to reach the base of the headboard or else there would be a gap. I currently have mine with a box spring and mattress and it works well.

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

The instructions say that a box spring is not necessary. I had both, and it does put the mattress higher than the foot board & you can only see about a foot of the head board, which I don't mind. But the metal slats are pretty close together & can easily hold just the mattress.

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

Rachel we still used the bed slats just as an extra form of protection/ to reinforce the box spring. I would GUESS you don't need the slats... I'm guessing you're saying the box spring fits perfectly in the rails, in which ours does, but i'm old school" we used the slats as well. IF someone heavy sits on the bed the slats take on the pressure of the extra weight. Hope this helps

The Beds Up Insert can sit on the slats which your box spring is sitting on. There needs to be an opening for the center legs to go to the floor for support. Feel free to send a picture of your bed for review. Cordially,jerry

I don't see why not. The bed might be a little more firmer since the box spring does add a small smidge of flex. The bed that I have is sitting on the box spring from my last bed simply because it would be too low without it.

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!

I did not simply because with the box spring on top of the platform frame slats the bed was about 4 1/2 feet off the ground. so we just put it directly onto the slats...if you purchase just be careful during construction as some of the wood is kind of thin and soft so screws can shred or tear if you have to screw in/unscrew and screw again

I have a sleigh bed also and was concerned that it would work within the headboard, footboard and thick side rails. Mine also has three wooden slats to support the box spring. It worked fine with mine because you adjust it as you put it together. It's very sturdy.

Wood slats could certainly be used....we did, however use two twin box springs and it works great! Because the feet on the 9 legs are quite small, we bought square rubber pads to protect the carpet.

You do not need a box spring. The wood slats are fine. I have a memory foam mattress on the slats.

It would be hard I would think. They are designed to go in between the mattress and box springs. I guess you could put each one over a slat and duck tape it where it wouldn't move. Hope that helps.

This bed rail is between the mattress and box spring. I would think if the bed frame were solid wood instead of slats it may work. If the mattress sits on bed slats of several pieces of wood, the bed rail could slip. Our use is for a Parkinson's patient who has difficulty arising and his bed is a double. He has been very pleased with this bed rail, it is sturdy, easy to install and has made a wonderful difference for him.

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!

You can try...I had to re-enforce the middle support. it was cheap and flimsy and honestly broke within days. I think it would look a little funky to have the box spring under the mattress on this bed. it's made to be used without a box spring.
