I have an old bed I am trying to reuse for a guest bedroom. My issue is that almost no one sells box springs anymore, so I need to go with slats, but the bed frame does not have a lip on the rails to hold anything in place. The bed in the link is nearly identical to what I have. Is velcro good enough to hold the slats steady? I can order a flat pack box spring, but they come from America, I'm in Ireland and I'm trying to stick to a budget. Any advice? Or is there another sub I can post to? TIA

I live in Ireland and we're having a heatwave at the moment. I had started a couch to 5k program 2 weeks ago and had to take a break because of the heat and humidity. Between that and my sports bra squeezing the life out of me I couldn't breathe well enough to finish my last run, and it's only gotten hotter.

I could maybe try to squeeze in a run before my husband leaves for work, usually around 7am, but the sun comes up around 4am so it could already be too warm and humid for outdoor activities by 6 or 6:30. I don't want to lose too much momentum, so I was wondering if anyone has any tips for dealing with heat and humidity?
