A solid support beneath a mattress makes the mattress feel firmer. A comfortable mattress is key to a good night's sleep, which is key to the quality of your day. A mattress that is too soft for your liking may cause aches and pains or result in a less-than-restful night. Firm up that sagging nightmare by placing a bed board beneath it. Bed boards come in all shapes and sizes, some designed for use between a mattress and box spring, some with just a mattress. You can also make the bed board yourself from plywood, firming up that saggy situation once and for all. The Plywood Sandwich Solution Plywood cut to the size of the mattress acts as a do-it-yourself mattress support that fits between mattress and box spring, making a mattress firmer. This comes in handy for a mattress that's too soft overall, or for a mattress or box spring that sags in some areas due to age. Measure the mattress and cut a sheet of 3/8-inch plywood to the same size; this may require two sheets of plywood if the bed is queen size or larger.
To achieve curved corners matching the mattress, set the mattress atop the cut plywood, trace the corners, then saw along the traced lines. Sand the board and edges smooth to prevent snagging or splinters, wipe the dust away and then set it on the box spring with the mattress on top. Mattress-Only Support System If your mattress has no box spring as support -- for instance, a foam or latex mattress designed for use without the box springs, or on a platform bed designed for just a mattress, plywood comes to the rescue once again. Remove the mattress from the bed frame and measure the inner frame area upon which the mattress rests. Cut the plywood to size, then place it in the frame bottom. Depending on the frame type, you may wish to bolt the plywood down by drilling holes through both the plywood and frame. If the bed has slats to support the mattress, set the plywood atop the slats or remove the slats entirely. Hinging on Comfort Some premade bed boards are hinged, designed to use with adjustable beds such as hospital beds or home-based versions with head- and foot-raising capabilities.
These are available in hospital supply stores in various sizes compatible with common mattress models. Some versions are thin and fold up, accordion style. Hinged or folding bed boards are designed for use between the mattress and box spring. Bunky Board Bolster A bunky board -- a foam-covered, thin support typically used for bunk beds and platform beds -- works much like plywood to make a mattress feel firmer. These are sold in shops that sell bunk beds and come in standard bunk bed and platform bed sizes, such as twin, full and queen. : How to Use a Bed BoardAdvanced Inc.: Is Your Bed Too Soft?

Got a nice bed and mattress picked it up same day and even had help at the dist center loading and strapping the item to my roof... Very good deal and great staff good matress for the price We purchased this mattress for our 3 year olds new big girl bed. Its a good price for a med-quality matress thats perfect for what we needed. It should last her a while until shes old enough and we can spend a little more on a more upscale model. I put a pillowtop mattress cover on it and it is super comfy now. This mattress is comfortable and the kids love sleeping on them nightly. I would recommend you purchase these if you have children. Read more about this product My husband and I purchased this for our toddler a few months ago. After comparing this mattress with the other cheaper mattresses in the store, it was a no brainer.
I knew this was a better mattress just looking at it. The price is great for the quality of this mattress (although it would be nice if it came with a box spring). I love that it is made with soy based foam. It is not too soft, but not too firm either. Great bed for kids! Good mattress for a great price. It's nothing special, but it definitely works. It's sturdy, comfortable and really thick. I bought it for my 3 yr old son's bed. I also got a bunky board to put under it instead of a box spring since it would've been too high, but it's still really high. I've fallen asleep on it and I felt great when I woke up which surprised me because it's kinda firm. Planning on getting the same mattress for my daughter and myself. We purchased this mattress for our 11 year old son's bunk bed. He absolutely loves it. He happened to come home sick from school the day we brought it home, and he was so happy to get into his bed. He sleeps better at night and wakes up better in the morning. The mattress is soft, comfortable, and durable enough for a rough housing boy.
We needed two new mattresses for the kids and after comparing many styles and brands we went with the memory foam. The value was very good and our kids love their new mattresses. They sleep very comfortably. They do require mattress protectors of a very special kind which are somewhat pricey. Or the warranty may be voided. Something to consider before choosing memory foam. I have 4 daughters ages 2-12 and this bed meets all their needs and expectations. It is super comfy and I nap on it some times. My older daughters have had their bed's for 6 years and it has held up wonderfully. I would recommend this bed to anyone with young children. My kids love this mattress! They sleep great at night and no longer complain of the discomfort of traditional spring mattresses. And it doesn't bounce, so no more monkeys jumping on the bed! The mattress is excellent, is comfortable and comfy. You wake up nice and rested Great first mattress for our toddler! We purchased this mattress as our 2 yr old son's first "big boy" bed.
It's perfect and he's slept soundly in it from the very first day it was delivered. not too hard or too soft ... just right for a toddler who sleeps on both his back and tummy. This is by far the best choice of mattress for our kids. They love the pillow top feel. It supports their backs just right. Not too soft and not too firm. No more complains of back pain or not sleeping right. My kids will get the good night sleep they deserve. I will definitely recommend this bed to my friends. This bed is perfect to go with our kids bedframe. Its comfortable, just enough firmness and plush feeling! Fair priced firm mattress. Had to let it air out for several days prior to use but very comfortable in my child's room The mattress is very comfortable and for the price it was a great deal. My 6 y/o has been sleeping on it on her bunk bed for two months now and loves it. My son has been sleeping much better since getting him a new bed and this mattress. He is doing better in school and his mood had improved because he is sleeping better.
My kids love their mattress, bought them for my 4year & 6year old. Firm, soft and comfy. eden twin mattress is the best! I love the Eden twin mattress! This is the best mattress that my daughter ever had for her emily twin daybed that I also purchased at Living Spaces! First off, I purchased in-store at the new Las Vegas location. The sales associate was super nice and not pushy at all. I purchased this mattress for my 6yr old son. We tried a number of beds, including having my son lay on a number of them and this was the one we both picked. It is pretty soft, yet slightly firm. So comfy I wouldn't mind taking a nap on it, if it weren't on a bunk bed. I feel like this mattress will last. We also purchased the mattress protector which was better than any other Click to read full text of review titled "Great Mattress". I have owned in the past. Totally worth it, great buy! Very comfortable mattress, have had for 1 month and couldn't be more satisfied. Son loves it and seems more rested in the morning, old mattress was for toddlers and was protected by a non-absorbent material that made it noisy when he moved around.
We purchased a protective moisture cover for Conway Homestead Mattress and the combination is quiet and comfy. Might have to purchase a new mattress now for parents. I went back n forth deciding on purchasing a regular mattress for my child or the coolkids memory foam. I'm extremely happy that I made the right choice and went with the memory foam, its so comfortable, relaxing, soothing, great quality and affordable. You wake up feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. Don't second guess yourself, make the memory foam your 1st choice. Grandkids Like This Mattress Bought 2 of these mattresses for bunk beds because the sales lady said they are not tall (kids don't sleep above the guards along the sides) and they don't bounce like others (so the kids are less inclined to jump on the beds). She was right on both counts and we are very happy. I was concerned they would be hot to sleep on but that is not the case. Would buy them again. We bought these mattresses for our boys bunk beds and they are outstanding!
The store where we bought the bed had some very cheap, thin mattresses, but we decided to spend a bit more money and go with these. They are very comfortable and I even sleep on them from time to time as I work nights. We are so satisfied that circadian will be on the top of our list when we need a new mattress of our own. Christmas surprise for the hubby! He loves it & says he doesn't ache all over anymore. Best sleep he's ever had. I have had a Temperpedic Mattress for the last 20 years. Now I have a king size one with the up and down function. I love it, sheets for the bed were a little tricky. This bed will last me through the rest of my life. The best bed ever! very comfortable for my son, he hardly crawls out of bed to climb into ours now. very happy about that. So comfy, we came back for seconds!!! I purchased the first mattress for my granddaughter and she says it is so comfy!!! The second purchase is for my grandson and now it is even harder to get him out of bed on the weekends!
