Product Information

Since box springs use metal coils that absorb weight and impact, your bed slats would be relatively at ease. And if you’re a fan of using a soft bed, putting a box spring over your slats is more advantageous than using a platform bed frame.

Measure the dimensions of your bed frame or slats to determine the appropriate size of bed strengthening boards needed. Choose boards that are made of sturdy materials, such as plywood or metal, and are compatible with your bed frame or slat spacing.

Most people don’t think about how important their bed frame is. The bed frame is responsible for supporting the mattress and providing a comfortable place to sleep.
