When my eldest & his girlfriend moved in together, their 'activities' broke a few of the slats on his Ikea bed. If I had to dismantle the bed, it'd be easy enough to remove the 4 screws and simply roll all the slats up - I've done it before with my children's (Ikea) beds. These are more than happy to sit loose between each of the original slats & it's strengthened the bed no end. Being a tad portly, the bed did creak somewhat as I moved on it so I simply disassembled a couple of palettes and cut the wood to the correct length. I simply screwed the top slat to the side support rails then, pulling the slats taught, I screwed the bottom slat to the side rails.

Original slats plus ribbon stapled to each is perfectly fine. In summary, I will need 26 spacers 3¼" long, 5/8" high and 1" wide. You'll need spacers for both sides, so (S-1)*2, of them. So, the spacer length should be the negative space divided by the number of slats minus one, or N / (S-1). The number of spacers on one side will be the number of slats minus one. That's the cleat length (L) minus the number of slats (S) times the slat width (W): Now, figure out your total negative space (N) - the space between the slats. My slats are 3¼" wide (W), and 5/8" deep, and there are 14 of them.
In my case, the cleats are 73¾" long (L) and about 1" wide. Measure the cleats (the support inside your bed rails that the slats sit on): Before you can cut anything, you need to measure the bed and a little math. You are going to make spacers to put in between every slat on the bed.
