Folding Bed Board Questions - page 2A 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?

How can you as a customer know whether the platform bed you’ve been eyeing is sturdy enough?
How sturdy should a platform bed be to support a mattress?If you’ve ever purchased a platform bed from a department store or a discount big box store, you may already have experienced inadequate mattress support. If you’ve ever spent a night on a sagging mattress or one that felt uneven or higher in one area than another, in fact your platform bed frame may have been the issue, rather than your mattress. Can your platform bed frame do its job?A well-built platform bed will support your mattress like a dream. No bowing, sliding, or squeaking. FIND A WELL-BUILT PLATFORM FRAME Our store occasionally gets calls from consumers, concerned because their mattress feels uneven. Our first question is always, “What do you have the mattress on?” “I just recently bought a platform bed from [big box store],” is frequently their answer. Our follow-up response: “Put the mattress on the floor, lay down on it, and tell me if the mattress feels flat.” The consumer does this, comes back on the line, and tells us (with surprise in their voice), that YES, the mattress does feel flat.
Slats should run underneath the mattress within the frame. They’re there to keep the mattress level and supported. But some platform bed slats are poorly designed and never stand a chance of supporting a mattress well. Ever heard of Euro Slats? These slats actually come bowed, which can create 1 of 2 potential problems: lack of strength or a crowning effect. If the slats lack strength, they end up sagging under the weight of a person (or people) and a mattress. If the slats ‘crown’ (bow upward slightly), this is because they’re too strong. Fairly obvious editiorial note here: avoid Euro Slats in a platform bed. If the slats are installed in sections, and only go half way across the frame, they’re susceptible to sagging. If the slats don’t attach to the side rails, but simply rest on a lip, they’re more likely to sag. Slats should be secured with screws or by some other method. Some platform beds lack adequate center support in the form of a center rail crossing the slats.
The center rail helps fight gravity, as anything being pushed down on will eventually sag to some degree. Poor center support often leads to people rolling to the middle of the bed. I’ve seen metal rails and thick wooden rails that sag under the weight of a mattress plus people, and sometimes even when no one is lying on it. If there’s no center rail crossing the slats, the slats will inevitably sag. Center support legs down the middle of the mattress gives you a comfier and more stable night’s sleep. Almost no bed boards, or bunkie boards, are appropriate for use by adults. Usually these are comprised of a few thin pine slats topped with cardboard. These will squeak and sag in numerous ways, making for a very unpleasant night’s sleep. If a retailer is recommending you use a bed board or bunkie board with a platform bed, then it probably shouldn’t be used as a platform bed at all.
