i have a nice, full-size memory foam mattress and it's sitting on a
futon frame. it's time for a new frame but most of the platform frames
i've seen are not what i want. what i want is a wrought-iron bed with
the scrolly iron stuff. the question: if i found a frame with at
least a 12" clearance from floor to side rail, can i add 3/4" plywood
over the slats as base support and call it done? THANKS

Sure. If that turns out to not be strong enough, use two sheets. Anchor the
plywood to the slats (screws?) else the sucker will slide around.
