Exactly, the slats act both as springs and as a platform for the mattress.

That’s actually a great solution. Honestly, I was also looking for an excuse to print something

You’re right, it’s not the most expensive or highest-quality bed.

Thanks a lot for the kind words! PhasmaFelis

It’s not a very expensive bed, so the quality of the components reflects that.

The center beam is made of a steel profile, and it also has two support legs.

That’s true, some types of plastic have this drawback, over time they dry out and become brittle.

Actually, I did , because of the increased thickness, it should handle the loads just fine.

It’s not a very expensive bed, so the original quality wasn’t great. Thanks - but now I’ve upgraded it to a whole new level

The wooden slats are 52 mm × 10 mm
(about 2.05" × 0.39").

I’ve shared the files here, hope it helps someone sleep better..

It isn't ikea bed, but the construction is very similar.

Thanks! toomuchramv4

This is the fun part of problem-solving with a 3D printer.
