Wittfiji: #ikea_malm_bed I purchased this bed and a brand new mattress from ikea about a year ago. I enjoyed putting it together, love how it looks and think its good product, but i do have one major concern...

I put the mattress directly on top of the slats (no box spring) and have began noticing a significant dip in the middle of the mattress. I do sleep in the middle of the bed, but I weigh only 175 lbs. I've tried flipping the mattress on its other side, but it does the same thing...telling me that its an issue with the setup (not me).

Is anyone else out there experiencing this? Do you all put the mattress directly on the slats or do you use a box spring/mattress combo?

This has really been bothering me and I've been considering selling it on craigslist (although I do like it), so I would really appreciate any suggestions on the matter! Thanks! Feb 28, 10
