Not sure I ordered this piece and reviewed a headboard. It's suppose to come in 3 boxes. When I called to ask amazon where the rest was they had no idea and told me to send it back and they would refund me.

this mattress is currently on the top bunk. i can't remember if it has slats or not, i bought it for my grandaughter. there has been no problems at all as the top bunk. if the bottom bunk is the same as the top bunk i see no reason to use it there, it is very sturdy.

No there is no need for a bunkie board unless you want to raise the mattress up a few inches.

I have three of these mattresses. Each are on slats. You can use box springs just fine. As to advice on which one, sorry, but I'm not a fan of box springs so I can't help there.

Yes, definitely...just make sure you've got enough slats to support it properly. (BTW, this is a *great* mattress!!)

It's not necessary, but you could ... just make sure the box spring has a structure of supports that are pretty close together so you don't end up with sagging sections. Remember, the foam mattress doesn't have as strong a "frame" to keep it from drooping in between slats. It works best on a platform frame -- try searching Amazon.com for "platform bed frame" to see a good idea of the support it should have. I have a queen-size Sleep Master metal bed frame foundation that works great (I just bought 12 risers to raise it up another few inches). Hope that helps!

I'm not sure what a bunny board is, but you would need a box spring in addition to your mattress. It's not a slatted platform bed. it's a regular frame.

You do not need a separate box spring. Support slats are included. I have had an issue with the mounting system for the support slats in that some parts were not shipped and double the amount of a similar part was included. They are shipping the replacement parts ... hopefully they will arrive today! ... I am figuring that if the support system is too weak (I am a big guy) I will go get a slat support system from IKEA and I will still be money ahead on other comparable beds. The frame itself is very sturdy. The slats may be the weakest part of the system ... but I will know better after I have been able to sleep in the bed. *** UPDATE *** The parts arrived yesterday. I installed the slats. The bed (I have the full-size version) is sturdy and solid, with just enough "give" to make for a comfortable night's sleep! It was great being back in my own, "new" bed! I have a big frame and I felt very secure and well-supported by the frame and slats.

The slats are relatively close together (4-5 inches), but I think it's still recommended to have bunk boards. If you don't have a bunk board, over a period of time the mattress could sag between the slats.

No, I don't think you need one. I like a low bed, so I just set my mattress on the floor and it felt fine.

I don't have one and have used it for 10 months no problem. I did order a frame with it that has a lot of support so if you plan to just put it on slats maybe.

Yes can be used with slats and no bunkie board but you should have about 12-13 of them

The best way is measure frame under the mattress, go to Lowes & buy plywood. The lumber department will cut the size you need. This will support the mattress. If you have a regular bed, I don't recommend using wooden bed slats. They're lightweight and won't support the mattress.

I had major issues communicating with this company about the same product. They were far from knowledgeable or helpful. It does come with two slats as well as three cross slats to support the bed frame. You will need a box spring for this bed, the mattress cannot sit flat on the frame. When I asked the company about this they acted like I asked them to solve some kind of calculus question and had no idea what I wanted to know. Thankfully when I took a picture of the frame and brought it to a mattress store they knew exactly what I needed. You will wind up with two spare sides, as the two sides of the crib are no longer a part of the bed frame so I hope you have somewhere to store them.

Just a mattress. I put a bunk bed board under because the mattress is a memory foam and I thought it added a little stability with that type of mattress. But it was not necessary.

You can use a box spring if you want a higher bed or a platform with wooden slats or a bunkie board (usually used for bunk beds) for a lower profile. I purchased a wire grid bed frame threw a bed skirt on it and you'd never know!
