Just go get some 2x4s to put across the horizontal. It's cheap and easy. You can glue some wood bits to the inside, just inside where the wood meets the metal to keep it from sliding.

How do you put slats on a bed if they are curved?

Many of the bed frames we sell come with curved, sprung slats that reach half way across the frame (or all the way in the case of a single). These are fitted at either end into plastic cups with spurs on them, then tapped into purebred holes along the edge and down a central support rail. Another way this can be done is by aligning the slats in the frame whilst it is loosely assembled, and then tightening the frame, securing the slats tightly in place. The slats are always placed with the bow along the top. Hope this helps.

What is the purpose of a box spring in a mattress set?

The box spring provides flexible support for the mattress. Without it, your mattress would either fall through the frame, or would have to be supported by something solid, which would make the mattress itself feel very hard and it would also wear out a lot faster due to the pressure of being compressed between a person and a hard surface.
