hi
our king size bed has horizontal wooden slats which are spaced quite a bit of distance apart. there is no support in middle.
our mattress has pocket springs and due to the gap between slats the spring slightly "fall down" the gap and so the mattress doesnt give enough support.
so i was thinking of improving this. options are
1- add 3/4 more slats to reduce distance between slats
2- add middle supports
3- add a wooden sheet spanning full bed on top of the existing slats.
4- mixture of 1 and 2 above
questions are
1- do i need to pre drill any of the woods or do i just drive the screw in?
2- any of the above or any other recommendations?
3- if i add middle supports do i need a slat to run length ways to connect all slats togather rather than just adding legs to the bottom!
4- if i add a length ways slat then does it go above existing slats or below?
5- if i add a wooden sheet then what thickness and material?
thanks a lot
