Help! sagging bed!

[Moggyman]

Hi folks,
I was just wondering whether anyone has a solution for fixed bed "roll together" essentially last september we bought our first fixed bed caravan a compass liberte air.
whilst we really love it there is just one problem, we find that we both end up rolling together in the middle of the bed ! it's a french bed with one piece latts and there is no central support, I can't seem to find any latts long enough to replace the current ones even if they have become a bit weak so i'm looking for alternative suggestions as to a solution.
does anybody have past experience of this ? any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
Neil

Friend of mine used a wooden strut and two lightweight scissor jacks.

I didn't have the 'roll on, roll off' problem.... although might have enjoyed it..... but the slats on my bed were too long and in danger of breaking when I climbed in.

I just made a wooden support to put underneath the centre of the slats to provide extra support.

Depends how handy you are.

Just Google adjustable height bed supports and there are options. This being one as an example.

Can you turn the slats upside down. So the curve is now to the ceiling?

Or run a strong timber longitudinal fixed to the top and bottom frame to stiffen the slats?

Aren't bed slats meant to be curved side up - and then straighten under load ?

Get a old pallet, and get into shed, and bodge something up 👍

DO NOT, do is I did and buy, a memory foam mattress to fit our side bed, , which required a zip in the middle, this made us have the problem that you have, but at a cost of over £700.

Yes, but it’s possible his have inverted with use and curve the opposite now?
