wood slats

Narrow timber strips

Wood slats are thin, flat strips of wood used in construction and furniture.

They form the supporting surface of bed frames, the back of a bench, or the structure of shutters and fences.

Slats allow airflow while providing support: The mattress rests on wood slats instead of a box spring.
