If the gas spring is broken, the repair method should be tailored to the specific type of failure. The main steps include checking for air leaks, tightening loose components, and replacing damaged parts. If the damage is severe, it’s recommended to simply replace the spring with a new one.

Solid wood planks are boards made from solid wood (logs) and are commonly used for flooring, countertops, and other surface applications. Their key features include:

Definition and Basic Characteristics

Solid wood flooring is directly processed from natural logs and comes in no uniform specifications; it is categorized according to wood species (such as pine or oak). It retains the natural grain and physical properties of wood, offering advantages such as robustness, durability, and high environmental friendliness.

Main features

Eco-friendly and healthy: Extremely low formaldehyde emission (less than one-fifth of the national standard), made from natural materials that are non-toxic and harmless.

Physical properties: It has good moisture absorption and breathability, but is susceptible to deformation or cracking due to fluctuations in temperature and humidity, requiring regular maintenance.

Aesthetic appeal: The grain is natural and the texture feels warm and smooth, making it ideal for creating a naturally styled home.

If the gaps in the slatted bed frame are too wide—typically exceeding 5 centimeters—they may compromise mattress support, causing springs to become unsupported, the mattress to deform, or unusual noises to occur. These issues can be addressed by increasing the density of the slats, adding support boards, or replacing the bed frame altogether.

The impact of excessively wide gaps

If the gap between the slats of a slatted bed frame is too wide—especially if it exceeds 5 centimeters—it can cause the springs in a pocket-sprung mattress to sink into the gap. Prolonged use may lead to localized sagging, uneven support, and a shortened lifespan of the mattress. If the gap falls between 4 and 5 centimeters, some spring mattresses may still be usable, albeit with caution and careful assessment.

Remedy:

Increase the number of pork ribs.

Measure the dimensions (length, width, and thickness) of the original rib strips. Purchase wooden strips of the same specifications and simply insert them into the gaps to reinforce the structure.

Advantages: Low cost (about 78 yuan for 24 pieces) and maintains breathability; Disadvantages: Requires precise measurement of dimensions, and after installation, may need to be secured to prevent shifting.

Lay the support boards.

Cover the slatted frame with a bamboo mat or a PP plastic sheet to distribute pressure. Advantages: Simple operation; Disadvantages: The bamboo mat may slip, the environmental friendliness of the PP sheet is questionable, and when the thickness is insufficient, the support strength is limited.

Custom encrypted lattice structure.

If the budget allows, you can replace the bed frame with a solid wood slatted base featuring gaps less than 5 centimeters, ensuring even support. Advantages: It’s a one-time investment that works well with most mattresses; Disadvantages: It’s more expensive and requires removing the old bed frame.

Prevention and Precautions:

When selecting a mattress, prioritize checking whether the gaps in the slatted base are less than 5 centimeters, especially for mattresses with pocketed springs.

Avoid using arched slatted frames, as they are prone to uneven stress distribution.

If the gap is slight (such as 4–5 centimeters), you can try placing a thin felt cloth or a firm mattress cover underneath the mattress to temporarily alleviate the issue of the springs sinking.
