Can you use a bunkie board on a metal bed frame.
Currently i have a full size boxspring and a mattress sitting on top of a metal bed frame.
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.
Or do i need to drill holes thru the board and screw the board into the frame.
People sometimes purchase an inexpensive bunkie board when their bed starts to sag to stave off purchasing an entirely new set.
I want to know if i would be able to get rid of the boxspring and just use a bunkie board instead.
If your platform bed or bed frame has a solid plywood top rather than slats there is no need for an additional bunkie board.
They can rest directly on the slats of a bed frame without adding to the height or bulkiness of the bed.
My bed is not a bunkie bed just regular bed frame can the bunkie board sit on the frame ok.
For a plain metal bedframe like that you ll probably want at least 5 8 or 3 4 inch plywood.
A bunkie board can be made of plywood so these two are pretty much synonymous.

Just be sure to carefully place the bunkie board on the frame or you could tear the fabric.
At least that s been the most stable in my experience.
It depends on the bunkie board and how substantial it is.
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.
For this reason bunky boards work well with platform beds if you re looking to add some additional support to the slat system.
