Benefits of Slats
Whether or not you are a DIY person, you can easily assemble slats since most planks/slats these days are light in weight, sleek, and thin. This makes them easy to transport and even a single person can assemble them with ease.
Arguably, the biggest advantage of slatted bed foundations is the support they provide to your mattress. Slats or planks help minimize mattress sagging to a great extent. This, in turn, can enhance your mattress’s longevity. They also keep the mattress horizontal, which can help prevent lumps in the mattress. All these factors can make your mattress last years.
- Much more stylish in appearance
People looking for aesthetically pleasing bed foundations would do better with bed slats. You can choose sleek, black, metal slats with matching bed frames and headboards. Even the high-quality wooden slats look very rich and elegant.
- More value for your money
As far as budget is concerned, slatted beds are cheaper. Even the slightly expensive and higher-end slats will still provide you value for your money as they last longer, enhance your mattress’s durability and longevity, and are highly dependable as well.
Slatted beds are timeless classics. With changes in interior design, slats can change in terms of materials used, style, etc. However, they will never completely go out of fashion.
The best part is that if a single slat develops cracks or problems, you can replace it without having to toss out the entire bed or even touch the other slats.
Metal slats won’t even develop cracks. They are extremely durable.
Bed slats allow breathability and greater airflow. This reduces mold, fungal spores, and mildew that are caused by sweat and moisture. Slats also reduce dust, bacterial colonies, and mold, making them great for people with allergies or compromised immunity.
With slatted foundations, you can easily add drawers, pullouts, and even an extra mattress.
