My Experience With Ikea Queen Size Bed Slats

When I moved into my new apartment, I needed a new bed frame and decided to go with Ikea. I opted for the queen size Malm bed frame with the accompanying Luroy bed slats. At first, I was hesitant about the slats because I had always used a box spring with my previous beds. However, after using the slats for several months, I can confidently say it was a great decision.

What are Ikea Queen Size Bed Slats?
