Size isn’t everything when it comes to supporting your mattress. Traditional box springs get the job done, but the tradeoff is unwanted height being added to your bed. With the Bunkie Board as an available option, consumers can now get the support they want without the additional height.

What is A Bunkie Board?

A Bunkie Board is an alternative to box spring mattresses. It is between 1-3 inches, which is a massive difference from the traditional 9 inches of a standard box spring mattress. Bunkie Boards even beat out the low-profile box springs that come in at a minimum of 5 inches. You can use a Bunkie Board on more than a bed, and this is where the flexibility begins to show. It is the most nonintrusive part you can buy for a bed without affecting the overall feel and design. And for pricing, Bunkie Boards blow leading box spring brands out of the water.

Pros

The list of pros for a Bunkie Board keeps getting bigger as the product gains national renown. Some features are a standout while others are good to know. By the end of the pros list, you should have a better idea of what to expect after the purchase.

Cons
