sprung bed slats where to buy cheap?

totalguy

im after some bed slats for my double bed as about 6 of them are broken. theyre individually held in with plastic housings to hold the ends in. they are approx 52mm width 675mm length and 8mm thick.

i read a thread on here (through google) now closed said you can get them from ikea but i cant find them on their website. anyone able to give me a link or a link to elsewhere?

£25 for 10 id need to cut down a bit is the cheapest i found. seems a bit much for a couple of bits of wood! thats excluding delivery. ebay is not much use especially at £6 each with delivery.

take an unbroken one out, take it to your local independant DIY guy and they will cut you some new ones to length - probably about £2-3 each.
Quick advert for Sid Telfers in Milton Keynes, as they are great and I have used them for nearly 20 years for just this sort of thing And support your local independent of teh big chains!!

theyre sprung and curved though not straight

but they aren't just a couple of pieces of wood, as you point out they are sprung & curved, so £25 isn't too bad if you compair it with the price of a new bed.

maybe but im a bargain hunter if i cant find any ill cough up but id rather wait a bit see if theres any cheaper.

patience is a virtue as the saying goes
