Hi, We have a metal bade frame with sprung slats and are keen to try the mdf board potential solution. A quick couple of questions: Should the board be cut width wise to sit of the top of the raised part of the slat, on it's crest?
If not, what width of board would you suggest it is a standard 5 foot width king size. Do you attach the mdf to the slats in anyway?
Many thanks Many thanks >
Hi Richard,
Thanks for your question.
There is no set correct way to do this; You can have a one piece board cut to size to cover the entire bed frame or you could have it in 2 pieces, 3 pieces etc.
Generally, we advise to cover the whole surface area with the MDF, plywood or pegboard - This is to prevent indentation and damage to the mattress, where the gaps between the slats are bigger than 3".
The MDF doesn't need to be attached to the slats in any way as the mattress weight will keep the boards in place.
I hope this has answered your questions fully but if you do have any further queries please don't hesitate to contact our office on 0161 437 4419. Our office is open Monday to Friday 8am to 8pm and Saturday and Sunday 10am to 4pm.
Kind Regards, Lee.
