Sprung bed slats

[LoterGarry]

On a secondhand boat listing, I noticed what looked to be cut to size / down sprung bed slats and placed under the double bunk.

This strikes me as a very good idea, both from a ventilation POV but also, and primarily from a comfort POV.

Has anyone done this and is it as simple as buying something like these;

LUR?Y slatted bed base, 160x200 cm - IKEA

and cutting them into the shape of the curved berth?

Thanks

A well known trick did it on two boats, it's been mentioned on here several times. If you are cutting down the slats trim both ends rather than take it all off one end particularly for the short ones.

I had a similar issue and ended up grabbing a starter kit from Bed Slats Replacements, which came with both the slats and the holders, so I didn’t have to piece everything together. The sizes were easy to match, and the prices didn’t make my wallet cry. Their chat support was handy too when I wasn’t sure about measurements.
