The boxspring came in it's own little case, and when we first put the mattress on, it was above the level of the side rails. The mattress could slide off.<br /><br />So, I took the slats out of it's own case and installed them directly into the frame of the bed.<br /><br />The arched shape of those slats is to give more support to the middle of the mattress. It works great if you are alone in the bed, but with two people it tends to sag a bit in the middle. I have another idea, but am not sure I want to go there.Brian Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04252174035715635674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5591297260116621731.post-71580660213523242662012-09-18T12:44:12.290+02:002012-09-18T12:44:12.290+02:00Nice looking bed.

Does the mattress lie directly on them without a box spring?<br />Ralph Boumenothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10606484453109932074noreply@blogger.com
