Can you use a bunkie board on a metal bed frame.

1 point 8 months ago. It depends on the bunkie board and how substantial it is. If your platform bed or bed frame has a solid plywood top rather than slats there is no need for an additional bunkie board. Currently i have a full size boxspring and a mattress sitting on top of a metal bed frame.

Whether or not you need a bunkie board depends on the kind of mattress you own. They can rest directly on the slats of a bed frame without adding to the height or bulkiness of the bed. I want to know if i would be able to get rid of the boxspring and just use a bunkie board instead. Just be sure to carefully place the bunkie board on the frame or you could tear the fabric.

A bunkie board can be made of plywood so these two are pretty much synonymous. Or do i need to drill holes thru the board and screw the board into the frame. For this reason bunky boards work well with platform beds if you re looking to add some additional support to the slat system. You can also use them with memory foam or other foam mattresses since they add solid even support.

Bunkie boards can be placed between the bed platform and the mattress between metal or wood bed slats and the mattress or on top of a box spring beneath the mattress. For a plain metal bedframe like that you ll probably want at least 5 8 or 3 4 inch plywood. The good news is that you ll almost certainly be able to find a bunkie board that matches the dimensions of your metal frame which can help deliver the support you need. People sometimes purchase an inexpensive bunkie board when their bed starts to sag to stave off purchasing an entirely new set.
