can this product be used with metal slats/frame

I'm not sure. My slats were wooden. Screwed into the wood. If you purchase some self tapping screws and drill out holes, it might work on a metal slat.

I used it with a metal bedframe. It's not elegant and needs to be adjusted occasionally. Does the job but not what it was designed to do.

We used with a metal frame, and its ok, but needs to be tightened every now and then.

It wouldn't be very comfortable. There are metal slats spaced rather far apart.

I don't have one and have used it for 10 months no problem. I did order a frame with it that has a lot of support so if you plan to just put it on slats maybe.

You may use a box spring, a wooden frame with slats no more than 4" apart, or a metal bed base.

Yes, if you mean metal frames. I have a number of these cut to different lengths, they work great, although the official ratings probably discourage using them in any shorter lengths. I use toggles on the metal studs and they have held up well.

That would depend on the width and depth of the space between the headboard & footboard, and from side to side. Get those measurements and compare them to the measurements provided in the product description. If you have an existing frame with rails, you may want to consider adding extra slats between the rails to support a foam mattress (if that's your intent) which would eliminate the need for the metal platform.

I used these three metal slats to replace broken wooden slats on a bed that sounds similar to yours. I left in all the other wooden slats that were not broken. I can't imagine only having the 3 metal slats as support. I feel that the bed would sag and create back pain.

I don't know if it will work on a metal frame, sorry. It does work with additional receivers. As I noted in my review, my units stop working after a short period of time. If you buy, I hope yours work better than mine.

I have installed my mattress onto an existing steel frame.To insure adequate support I installed 2 pieces of 3/4 inch plywood cut to size( sanded one side or padded with an old blanket).Be sure to check for sharp edges on the steel frame and tape or pad to prevent cutting. The idea here is to provide support for the mattress along its whole bottom surface; I would assume wood slats, with proper padding, would work also but you would have to install a lot of them.

It depends on the size of your wood frame. Mine is a king size and the frame is exactly the size of the mattress. I had a bed custom made and told them not to put any slats or supports for the mattress, as well as having them build the side railings to the exact height of this metal frame. Measure the interior dimensions of your wood frame; you may be able to use this by removing any existing mattress supports.

Slats are slightly curved so don't think plywood would work. I have slept on this bed, I weight 265 LBS and didn't need extra support.

Yes you can. There are plaStic slats just like thickish bars. Give thought to where you want to hang things though. You can easily have an issue with the perches.

There are wood slats. It does not have a solid wood platform. But overall it feels more solid than the metal frame

I use this with just slats on a bunk bed and it works fine. Plywood should support it fine. Don't forget to let the mattress air out a couple days before using it.

i am sure it could be attached to a metal bed frame. it is not pre-drilled for it though. you would have to drill it to attach it. i debated about doing that. but i currently just have it against the wall with the frame against it.

The slats are not sturdy. Replace them with 2x6s on edge and then use plywood. Not box sprint will be required. Worked for me

The slats alone might pose an issue - I did not try it once I saw how far they would be spaced. I placed a plywood board from Lowe's ($12) on the slats to support my memory foam mattress and it works great.
