Bunkie board

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Bunky board)

A bunkie board is thin mattress support originally intended for a bunk bed. It was invented in the early 20th century to provide a thinner platform support than box-springs, and more uniform support than slats.[1]

Construction

[edit]

A DIY bunkie board might consist of 19 mm (34 in) plywood, but commercially-made versions can be made of wood or metal, and are often covered in fabric.[1][2]
