Replacement bed slats

[alwaysared]

Can you add wood to make centre rail wide enough

I will take a look tomorrow, I would probably have to add wood to the outside rails in order to keep everything level

My son has a piece of ply that I will put on top of the slats just try and see if a solid piece would be comfortable enough, I'll let you know tomorrow morning

The first night seemed fine, I'll give it a couple more to help make a decision

I have a few bed slats that are split and the the end fittings are also broken and the previous owner screwed them in place! So as a full-timer I think it's important to get the bed right, after all we've spent a small fortune on electrics etc.
So my questions are:
1). Can any suggest a good place to buy replacements?
2). Would I be better off removing all the slats and using one solid piece of ply?
As usual any help and advice is very much appreciated

Got some from IKEA casualty corner for 2 quid for a full bed worth. Replaced the flat ones and kept the rest for spares.

So five nights in and it all seems good so I will be using plywood to make a base and then I'll cut some holes in it, although I keep looking at the Froli system and may still go for that

Frail system is costly but I've never heard a bad word against it del
think I would go for it but our single beds are ultra comfy in the van just now

Hi,
I'm a new member so here goes. I recently sold a king sized IKEA bed for £35. The frame and 2 sets of slats after 10 yrs were fine. It occurs to me that you could buy spare slats from IKEA, if you know your dimensions. They are pine, bowed & specific to task. Good luck.
Best wishes, Gordon.
