The Universal Holders will sit on the internal side rail and centre rail, and can be attached using either wood screws or an industrial stapler.

Single starter kit- wooden bed
After a shortage of items in the initial delivery the problem was promptly resolved.
The items are excellent value for money and I now have updated two single beds to a very high quality. I would highly recommend this product.

Bishops Beds Single Starter Kit – Wooden Bed
Slats and holders were excellent and have proved to make my new bed very comfortable with a John Lewis Ortho Pocket Spring 1000 mattress. It was just annoying that it took 4 separate contacts and deliveries from the company after the initial order was received before the correct number and type of holders were finally delivered. I have given the product rating full marks, but would rate the order handling and checking at 2-3

I had done some research into bed slats (including looking on eBay) and Bishops were by far the best value so I ordered the single starter kit and received it the next day.
I already had the timber I needed to make the bed frame which is destined to convert the dinette in our Hobby 650 into a single bed with slatted base providing ventilation for the real (Ikea) mattress – no more lumpy, uneven cushions!
The bed frame is just a simple rectangle with centre brace – looks like a capital B (with straight sides…)
I had ordered uncut slats so I needed to cut them to size but once I worked out the measurement, it was easy to do with a chop saw. A fine toothed cross-cut hand saw would have done the job too.
I fastened the top, middle and bottom slats directly to the bed frame as the cross pieces of the frame precluded using the plastic holders, but I elongated those mounting holes to permit the small extension in length as the slats are compressed in use.
I may have to contour the centre brace of the bed frame to accommodate any downward curve of that slat but this will be a simple job with a jigsaw after I have tested the complete bed for comfort.
Thanks to Bishops for an excellent product at a very fair price.

Sprung slats
I was concerned as to the length, so I phoned stating the width between slat shelves, and length of existing flat slats. I was informed these would be a bit short; so I dismantled bed and fixed pieces of 2×2 ontop of existing shelves to reduce width by 5cm. Being disabled this was no mean feat. When the slats arrived I could have cried! They would have fit the original gap perfectly! As it is, I can’t use the end caps as the slats are now too long.
After all this effort, has it made a difference to the comfort of the bed? Slightly, very slightly.
