Many people wonder what is more comfortable to sleep on and what are slats? Slats are plates made of various materials (oak, beech, birch), i.e. the main part on which the mattress is placed.
The bed structure with slats is divided into separate planks, they are very strong and each can withstand a weight of up to 40 kg. Very often slats are used for orthopedic beds.
To ensure that the plates are beneficial to your health and not harmful, it is worth choosing the right mattress.

Lamella production
The plates are manufactured using Austrian equipment.
Edged boards of different grades A-B are purchased. The planed board is used to make the cut.
After these operations, the board is processed on the machine. The last step is sawing the board.
Two types of equipment are used for processing:
1. tape-dividing machine;
2. frame saw device.
The second method is used most often.
The speed of the sawing process depends on the type of wood and the correct sharpening of the saws.
Production can be divided into the following stages.
1. Selection of material and quality control.
2. Preparation and drying of blanks.
3. Sorting by length, width and thickness.
4. Manufacturing of lamellas.
How to insert or remove plates?
To do this, the tip must be put on a separate bar and inserted into a special socket on the frame. During this process, you need to try to bend the plates slightly.
To remove, you need to pull the mount out of the socket and move the end of the latoflex to the side.
What to do if one of the slats breaks?
The plates can be ordered individually, any size and material you need is available, the cost of the products is reasonable.
Prices for 1 piece vary from 80 rubles to 100 rubles.
The total price of lamellas is from 8,000 to 20,000 thousand rubles.
And if you want to repair the slats, the cost will depend on the number of broken plates, for example, if 8 are broken, you will pay up to 800 rubles.
How to adjust the hardness?
This is very easy and simple to do - you need to move or move the cursors along the bar, thus you can decrease or increase the rigidity in a certain area.
How to choose the right slats?
If you are wondering how to choose the right slats, we recommend paying attention to certain characteristics and properties.
The more slats there are in the base, the longer your bed will last.
A double bed should have more than 30 pieces, and a single bed should have more than 15 pieces.
The distance between the plates should be minimal.
For an orthopedic bed with slats, you need to choose the appropriate mattresses to distribute the load evenly and avoid deformation.
Don't forget to pay attention to the cost of the products, the material they are made of, and most importantly, the name of the manufacturer.
Are the "magic plates" worth buying?
Definitely worth it, because they have more pros than cons.
Moreover, at the moment there are many profitable options for their acquisition and replacement. If you have any doubts, you can always consult with specialists.
