I need wooden bed slats for a queen size bed?
Question:where can I find them and what size are they?
Answers:
If the box springs are to be supported by a metal frame and bed slats, all you have to do is measure the length between the angle irons making up the bed frame. Measure exactly and have 1 x 4 pieces of lumber cut a half inch shorter, (to make it easier to place them in the frame.) They will be roughly 60 1/2" wide. But do measure the bed frame, the frames themselves can vary a little in width.
You can get by with four slats if a child is sleeping alone in the bed. If an adult or two adults are using the bed, you should plan on five slats.
Anyplace that sells lumber can cut the boards for you, a lumber yard or a big home store like Lowe's or Home Depot.
Use 2x4s, measure them directly to your bed, and cut them off to the length.
measure the inside of your bed go to lowes and get 1x2 and cut to lenght
