Worst instructions BillLike so many other reviews, the instructions for these slats is appalling. I have constructed many Ikea furniture & bedding items over the years but I can confidently say that the instructions for these slats is the worst by far:
1. There is no instruction how to or even to fit the straps
2. The pack comes with 4 separate slats for each of the 2 framed that have no instructions of where they should go or how they should be fitted. They are not even in the list of items at the beginning of the instructions.
3. There are blue painted slats & white painted slats but the instructions do not explain where they should go except in a picture at the end that is impossible to decipher.
These slats were not cheap. I would have hoped the instructions could have been of more assistance!3
Van campingLaraWe used this bed base in our van. Works perfectly5
FantasticDebbieBought these to support the mattress in our camper van, and add air circulation.
Great outcome, solved our problem ,and a fair cheaper alternative to purchasing a new mattress.5
Good ProductMikeAssembling is a bit tedious but it’s a good product.5
Not the easiest build, but quite nice overallAnonymous reviewerIf you're making this at the same time as building a bed frame, definitely build this first, because you'll need a bit of space to comfortably assemble. When assembling, we couldn't really work out the differences between the different shades of grey, so might not be using the product to its full potential, but it's still quite a comfortable and quiet base regardless. Just note that the slats will raise the bed up quite a bit; if you're using a frame like Tonstad, make sure to put the slat catch on the lowest possible setting.4
A bit fiddly with poor instructions and concaves are unevenJasonHad to bypass the instructions to allow enough width the install the slats into the plastic holders. Although we didn't get caught out, the instructions to line up the grey vs white slats wasn't obvious and could be better explained. Some of the concaves on the slats weren't as good as others leading to unevenness. On a positive they definitely DO NOT squeak when moving around on the mattress. 3

great way to raise a bedRamuteExcellent, a lot more convenient to chaange the bed.4
Cracks every time I lay on it🙂 DaniThe malm bed frame is so nice but that bed base squeaks a lot it’s a nightmare trying to know why it squeaks so much. Ikea can you please please please make a bed base that doesn’t squeak that much like i paid this amount for it to be bad quality and so poor made🫠1
A little tricky to install but works very well and is sturdy. SharonPerhaps an illustration on best way to insert the slats. I had to look it up on YouTube. 5
Great SlatsMelanieWe bought these to replace some very cheap slats on our bed, made a huge difference without us having to replace the whole bed as we loved the frame. A hassle to put together, but worth it.4

Comfy and quietJenniferNo creaking when you roll over in your sleep, super comfy and easy to put together. A little fiddley, but not hard.5
AmazingLucyThey are worth the time in assembly. So comfortable. And my favourite part is they prop your mattress up slightly higher than the regular slats do. Wonderful slats :)5
