Bed sizes have changed over thr years as people have gotten heftier. The boards are 4 inches wide, and cut to fit the width. If a heftier person is using the bed, I got 6 inch wide boards.
Measure the Metal frame and cut the wooden slat 1/4 inch shorter then the frame. The slat needs to sit flush up against the frame. Cut 4 slats to support the box spring & mattres.

I would use 8 slats cut to fit between the 2 sides of the metal frame. 4" x 3/4" or 1/2"
