FAQ
What Is a Bunkie Board?
- A bunkie board is a thin, solid platform placed between a mattress and its support system, such as a bed frame or slats. Originally designed for bunk beds, bunkie boards provide a low-profile foundation that offers firm, even support without adding significant height. They are commonly used with platform beds, daybeds, and other setups where a box spring isn’t suitable.For a comprehensive guide on bunkie boards, including their benefits, sizes, and how to choose the right one, you can refer to this detailed article.
What is the purpose of a bunkie board?
- In layman’s terms, they add extra slats to a frame. This makes the foundation more durable and sturdy and helps prevent sagging, even developing lumps. It also helps keep motion transfer to a minimum and extends the life of your mattress.
Do you need a bunkie board if you have slats?
- If your slats provide the right support for your mattress and are spaced for the mattress type, then no, you do not need a bunkie board. However, if you believe your surface could use more support, then by all means, we recommend you invest in a bunkie board to place between your mattress and the slatted base.
Can you put a mattress directly on a bunkie board?
- Yes, of course. Bunkies are used for more applications than the original bunk beds. When you use a covered unit, you can use it as a light version of a box spring. For example, an innerspring could sit on a bunkie and help prevent sagging.
