Hi Lynda,

We appreciate you reaching out to us about your mother's slatted bed base.

Since you need webbing for the slatted bed frame, you can find a variety of options online. Different companies offer webbing in various widths, so it will depend on the specific width you need for your frame.

Another option is to cover the base with MDF or hardboard. You would need a couple of pieces that are about 3 to 5mm thick to lay over the slatted area, which would create a more solid, platform-like surface.    Bed strengthening boards can actually help prevent sagging or warping of the slats which can lead to discomfort of the mattress.

Over time,  bed frames or slats can weaken or develop gaps, leading to sagging mattresses and reduced comfort. Bed strengthening boards can provide additional support to your mattress, helping to distribute weight evenly and prevent sagging, which can lead to better sleep quality .

I hope the above is of assistance however please do not hesitate to contact us should you require further information or advice.

Kind regards Julie Collier
