  • Perfect solution to replace aging, sagging IKEA slats
Size: Queen Style: Wood Slats
I recently upgraded to a heavy memory foam mattress for my IKEA queen Trysil bed frame. I was using a model of IKEA slats that were purchased with the bed many years ago. With the new mattress, I immediately noticed that the old IKEA slats seemed to be sagging and unable to serve as a solid base for the mattress like the manufacturer recommends. I needed to find a solution that would let the mattress breathe while serving as a flat, solid platform (unlike the worn out "suspension" style of uneven IKEA slats I was using). I was disappointed at first because I thought this problem might require purchasing an entirely new bed frame - I didn't want to replace the slats with a new set of IKEA ones, since I figured the same problems would surface over time due to the company's lightweight construction. Then I fortunately stumbled across this as a solution. The Mellow slat system arrived quickly and in perfect condition. My biggest concern was that the size or design would be incompatible with the underlying support structure built into the IKEA frame, but I quickly found out the Mellow system fit perfectly. The Trysil bed has two side rails and a center bar, and the Mellow slat frame aligned with this very well so I knew it would be structurally sound. The only "downside" about the Mellow fit was that there were a couple inches of a gap which would allow the Mellow slat frame to slide around inside the bed frame, but this was easily solved by using some of the soft foam padding from the Mellow packaging to wedge in between gaps on all four sides. I can't knock Mellow for this because I understand the product isn't designed specifically for the model of bed I have - the dimensions still worked and just required the small "hack" to get a perfectly secure fit to eliminate the possibility of sliding. My guess is that the size of the Mellow system allows it to work universally with a number of different bed frames, but I would still recommend that other purchasers measure their bed's internal structure to make sure this would be compatible. The construction was incredibly simple even for a lone person like myself. The queen size comes with a lengthwise bar that has a foam strip on it, which I assumed should be turned so the foam would rest on the wooden slat side to reduce noise, which it seems to do well as there is no noise from my mattress after putting it back on the frame. The height of my mattress ended up being slightly lower than it was with the IKEA slats, because the Mellow system has a lower thickness than the curved slats on the IKEA model. I personally prefer this lower profile since my thick mattress ends up at a perfect height with my nightstands. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with this solution. It was much cheaper and more convenient than buying a new bed frame. I'm able to sleep comfortably knowing my new mattress is properly supported, which allows it to work as designed and hopefully have better longevity due to a solid support system. I would definitely recommend this to anyone in a similar predicament, as long as you measure your bed carefully to make sure this will work with your existing bed frame like it did with mine. ... show more

  • Great purchase!
Size: Full Style: Metal Slats
This is a FANTASTIC set of bed slats! Our bed frame didn't have any kind of cross support, so we had to buy one... I am SO GLAD we went with this one! It's incredibly easy to assemble, fits just inside the bed frame, includes the allen wrench you need, and feels super sturdy. I have no doubt it will be able to handle my kids jumping on it! Very happy with this purchase. ... show more

  • Easy to assemble and sturdy
Size: Queen Style: Metal Slats
Super sturdy! The results are easy to assemble but the velcro isn't stuck great so when I need to lift them (rarely) I do have to be extra careful in some sections. It's low profile, great replacement for a box spring. It does not shift or make noise. Fits queen perfectly.

  • Exactly what we needed!!
Size: Full Style: Metal Slats
We purchased a full sized mattress and box-spring for my daughter's bed frame. Even the low-profile box-spring made the mattress sit far too high. I'd never heard of a "Bunkie Board" but after reading many reviews we landed on this one. This Bunkie Board is a great value ($100 less than the box-spring)! It's very sturdy and was easy to assemble (15 minutes). It fits inside the frame rails perfectly, but I would suggest leaving the existing cross supports in place if you have them (we did). The board provides excellent support for the mattress with very little movement and absolutely zero added noise. ... show more

good frame. extremely easy to put together. maybe like an inch and a half too small for my bed, but i kept the original wooden slats on & placed the frame on top. worked perfectly. feels great, not worried about it falling or anything. no real complaints.

  • Perfect in my RV
Size: Queen Style: Wood Slats
We ordered the bunkie board as a way to allow airflow under the new memory foam mattress that we purchased for our RV. It was incredibly easy to put together (hex wrench included) and fit both the designated space and the mattress perfectly. The spacing between the slats is just slightly more than recommended for the mattress, but it should work. The center support is a win! I love how sturdy it feels, and wouldn't hesitate to use it with a regular bedframe as well as on the solid wood platform of the RV. I chose not to use the adhesive since the mattress is supposed to be rotated every 6 months or so, and it wouldn't do to have the frame stuck to the mattress. ... show more

  • Worst Product Support
Size: Twin Style: Metal Slats
Seller has no communication to address a problem with this. While the unit is okay, it came with an incorrectly manufactured slat that will not insert in place properly. I have emailed the company several times and originally received a bogus, clearly AI response because it addressed literally nothing I was talking about and accused me of assembling it incorrectly. Clearly their AI does not analyze photos. I responded and asked for an actually response from someone, it has been weeks and nothing, despite several emails, calls and reaching out to Amazon support whom simply gave me the same contact information from them. Again the unit is okay, but forget it if you need any kind of support. This company is garbage from a support perspective. Do not recommend. ... show more

Fits Perfectly and Supports the Mattress on all sides as well as the middle. I tried wooden slats, but the support was uneven. This product was easy to assemble. Perfect solution for my new mattress that was sagging.
