How far apart are the slats? Will a futon mattress slide through?

cross-slats are 4" apart. there's a center-beam running up the middle, too. a futon mattress would probably be just fine. if it ends up feeling lumpy, a sheet of plywood could be laid down first. 'hope this helps!

I have no problems using a futon mattress on this bed. The slats are spaced about 3.5" apart and give plenty of support.

The slats are only a couple of inches apart and work great with futon mattresses. I have a floppy latex mattress on it, too and it works wonderfully. Hope that helps.

The space between the slats is 3 1/2". I don't think that a futon mattress would slide through, it would be too thick.

your slats will be fine. i have my mattress on a trundle, which is very similar. i also have another foam mattress on Ikea slats, so you're good. (y)

The one I have has slats set in a heavier square frame with a central support. These have plastic non skid feet on them. I can post a pic. Its more a like a tiny futon platform, if that makes any sense?

The width of the slats wasn't the problem. They were too long to fit on the twin bed frame by one inch. I had to saw off the ends of each bed slat in order to use them.

About 4" between slats. Plastic caps are slightly wider than slats. This a very light weight but efficient frame.We use it with an air mattress.

I would say that it totally depends on the mattress. My futon cushion is actually 2 of the Wal-mart cushions from their (crappy) store brand futons, and while it doesn't slide off, it does "bunch" at the hinge in the center. I've compensated for that by hooking the full fitted sheet I use as a cover over the corners of the wooden frame and it's not a big problem.

Mine doesn't slide all over bed frame. I use it every night and I have nothing between mattress and frame.

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!

about 3 inches between each wood slat- great bed. will take about an hour to assembly.

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.

On ours (a twin and a queen) the slats are 1.5" wide with a 4" space between slats. The queen also has two support slats that run the length of the bed spaced 5" apart

You can't fit an adult fist through the slats. But the exact measurement is 2.25 inches

The slats are relatively close together (4-5 inches), but I think it's still recommended to have bunk boards. If you don't have a bunk board, over a period of time the mattress could sag between the slats.

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.

Only about a foot, and I bought the frame to use with a full sized mattress and the middle piece doesn't fit, so check it immediately upon arrival to make sure they sent you the correct pieces...

37 3/4 from floor to front bar, 39 1/4 from floor to slats underneath mattress. We found a regular twin mattress to be so tight that I cannot make the bed easily nor can my daughter. the wood arrived warped on one of them, and one of the bolts broke off inside the frame as my husband put it together. It is wobbly and we can't get it to be straight. It is very heavy wood, so my husband won't take it apart once he struggled to put it together. I would have called immediately and had someone ship new parts out, but that's me.

I have this table and actually the slats are made from a pretty sturdy material that so far is holding up really well. I just measured the slats and in width they are close to 3 inches, more like 2 and 4/5 inches. Hope this helps!
