vegan latex mattress - NYC area

[phoenix]

Hi blackriderx,

Hmm… my wife wanted to get the Hurdal frame from Ikea (Products - IKEA). Agreeing with your suggestion that the flex slats might not be good (for 9" latex mattress), where would I shop for rigid slats.

You could buy 1 x 3" slats or 1" x 4" slats cut to the correct length for your bedframe and using good quality stiff wood (such as spruce, yellow pine, or fir … see here). Just make sure that you have enough so that the gap between the slats is 3" or less (less would be better). A google search on slat roll will bring up more sources for slats but just make sure that you confirm they are the right size.

Another good and inexpensive option is the slat conversion linked here (again make sure that it fits your bedframe).

From some online research, are these a slats option: purerest.com/Organic-Mattresses/Orga...tion_3/Short-Tower_6? They don’t have center support rail or feet though. Assuming I get the Hurdal, I can buy the Ikea center support rail and use the slats on top of that?

Yes these would also be fine (they have a 1.5" gap according to the description) but I would check with the manufacturer of your mattress about the Ikea bedframe because some manufacturers have a warranty that requires a center support beam with at least one supporting leg to the floor in queen size and two in king size.
