I have also been known to wire bed slats into the frame when there was too much slack width.
Have you ever considered buying enough concrete blocks to support the mattress on, then just bolting the headboard to the wall?
I'm also tempted to look into some of these single-drawer storage units that Rubbermaid and Sterilite offer, lining up enough of them along the sides and across the bottom to support the springs (we'd need a couple of dummy units up the middle, since ours is a king size bed with two-part box springs) and then figuring out how to lash the units together such that they would not move around but I could still get the drawers to slide out. There is NEVER enough storage in an apartment!
