What is a wooden slat?
A wooden slat is a narrow piece of wood used in furniture. Slats can be made of a variety of materials, including plastic, fabric, and metal. Slats of wood are used inside a mattress foundation or bed frame to support the mattress and are normally placed 2 to 3 inches apart. They're made to distribute body weight evenly and prevent you from sinking. Find a range of wooden slats on 1stDibs today.
