Buying Guide

Confirm mattress size and fit

Measure your mattress and bed frame — options include twin, twin XL, and sofa-bed dimensions — to ensure a bunkie board like a 38x75 or twin XL split will sit flush without gaps

Choose board construction

Solid wood or multi-slat boards provide firmer, long-lasting support, while thin or folding panels prioritize low profile and portability for sofa beds or storage beds

Check thickness for clearance

Thickness varies from thin 10mm folding boards to ~38mm split wood; pick a thickness that maintains your mattress height and fits under bed rails

Look for folding and split designs

Folding or split bunkie boards simplify installation in tight spaces and make moving or fitting into slatted frames easier

Compare firmness and under-mattress support

Brands describe firmness and foundation function—prioritize firmer under-mattress support if you need to prevent sagging or provide a stable platform for foam mattresses
