Keith,
> interesting, but my air mattress does just fine on a platform.
> Might be lighter though
One thing I like about the slatted frame is, that the two sides are a
bit decoupled.
Good to know that noone has a real reason not to use them :)

Pete,

I've been living with these slatted frames my whole life and have never
ever broken a slat. Broken a bed I have :)

seeing a lot of people having converted the rear area to a fulltime bed,
they always use a board to put the mattress on.
Why not use slatted frames, like the ones from Ikea

We are currently thinking the other way. If it is cold outside we find we are cozy with a nice blanket but that cold seems to penetrate from below. I find myself waking and turning over to "warm the other side". We are thinking of an insulation barrier of some kind. Guess that could lay on the slats. I would use a sheet warmer but many times we are dry camping.
