Bed slats are laid between the rails of a bed frame to provide support for the box spring and mattress. Unless your bed slats have a kind of pin that is designed to pass through the rail and the slat to join them (like many IKEA beds), then your bed slats probably shift and fall out of position. This will cause the box spring and mattress to fall to the floor. You don’t need to make a pin and drill through the metal rail to fix this problem–the solution is much simpler than that. Remove the bed spring and mattress from the bed frame. You should see the metal rails of the bed frame and at least four bed slats, though some bed frame style will have more.
