The OSB under our 8" memory foam mattress is sagging quite a bit after 5 years and has been getting worse every season. It's ridiculously bowl shaped now. I blame the extra weight of the dog sleeping between us sometimes... :)
Today I just bought 3 pieces of 1/4" 1.5"x1.5" angle iron and am going to drill some hole in them and attach them to the underside of the OSB. They'll run in a fore/aft and I'll use some 1/4" machine screws. Should be good to dance on after that.
Not that it makes a difference, but only the OSB over the under-bed storage hinges upward. We had a previous TT that had the entire piece of plywood under the mattress hinge up at the head of the bed. With the weight of the memory foam mattress, I had to relocate the attachment points for the gas struts to keep it up when lifted and worked fine after that.
