anyone got a metal bed without wooden slats?

[eatyourveg]

Just want a bed with no wood - can't find one anywhere - want something with wire metal mesh like they had in the olden days but everywhere we look it seems the metal beds come with wooden slats. Someone must be sleeping on one surely

Google threw this up _ www.astleybedfactory.co.uk/4-6-ELLIE-METAL-BED-FRAME.html

do you need handcuffs or a rack ?

My dd's bed has slats made of the same metal as the bedframe. It's awful though - the slats have curved in only a couple of years (and she's only a strip of a thing, I don't think it's due to her weight!). At present she's sleeping in a sort of a u shape.....

we have one from Homebase with metal tubes under the mattress & it seems pretty sturdy

I don't know if they still do it, I'll have a look

oh, that link of JsOtherHalf has several with mesh!

\link{http://www.homebase.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?langId=110&storeId=10151&partNumber=1544682\ours is called Sammi} though the one we have is double

(it says slats but ours is def tubes. Have had it 3 years or so but I doubt if it's changed)

yes! i have one without slats....but on line they never show the bases....id go and look in the showrooms

\link{http://www.astleybedfactory.co.uk/search.php?mode=search&objects_per_page=20\these are all the mesh base ones from JOH's link}

have to say mine was considerably more expensive than those linked....

I've been v pleased with the Sammi one - it's well made & has a really solid finish. Also it's high enough to get lots of useful storage boxes underneath

It would be most comfortable with a firm mattress (one of those non-turning ones for preference). Ours was bought for DS2 when he was 15-16 & he wouldn't have a firm one, so it's "medium" with springs & gives too much for my liking

Blimey thanks for all these - will show them to dh and hopefully I'll be off the sofa by the weekend.

We've got one more by default than design as we were desperate for a base after sending 2 crap but expensive ones back. It was dead cheap from tesco (online) but I don't think they do it any more. It's tubes and it's got a massive mattress on it which weighs a ton and it's been fine. Due to the thickness of the matress it probably wouldn't matter if it was placed on nails - I doubt we'd feel them!

We got dd a double metal framed bed with metal slats each one is screwed in separately into the base and its really sturdy we got it from Argos

Just ordered one - 48 hour courier delivery. Thanks for all the links

Hello eatyourveg.I know that it is almost 2 yrs since you posted on this forum. I would love to know where you eventually got your Metal Bed from as I am in the same predicament myself at the minute and I cannot find one without wooden slats anywhere. any help or advice would be much appreciated.
