Do I need a bunky board if I want to use a memory foam mattress?

Hi Claudette, I bought a foam mattress too for the bed without using a board & so far so good. The wood at the base of the bed frame does shed slightly but it was nothing that drew concerns.

There are plenty of slats on the bed but you might want to consider how thick the foam mattress is

I bought a foam mattress without using a board and the wood slats that support the mattress is sufficient for support.

No, the bed has wood slats that support the mattress, there is about 1 1/2 inches between each slat.

We have a foam mattress right on the bed without any problems so far. I wouldnt think u would need one unless it was for an older child.

Well I also bought a foam mattress and did not buy the bunks and everything is just fine. It has planks about 2 or 3 inches apart so it not like the mattress comes out in between.

I would say so. There isn't a flat surface under the mattress. There are about 12 - 2" slats.

Think thin. You need a bunky board underneath the mattress and if the mattress is too thick it will be above the rail and therefore unsafe.

No not a problem. But I wouldn't recommend a memory foam mattress, Because when U sit on the edge it gives to much and will make U slide off the bed. Just make sure you get and XL mattress also. The regular one fit ok as long as it lays flat, But when you raise the bed up is when you have a problem with the fit.

No, I wouldn't use a foam mattress for this frame (unless you use 2) - something must be underneath the foam mattress.

Yes, you'll need both a mattress and a box spring. The higher profile box springs are ideal.

We used a bunky board for a regular massage. I would suggest it with any mattress. We went to Home Deport, found med grade plywood and had them cut to our dimensions. We bought 3 bunks and 2 of the double bunks for our guest house. Have had them for 2 summers with adults and kids using them. They have been great.

No, we bought the foam mattress that was recommended with the bed. We love it for our grandsons. The three extra drawers under the bed is wonderful.

Yes, this bed frame requires a box spring to be used comfortably, especially if you have a memory foam mattress.

Hello Kris,A steel base, a standard foundation ( not box springs with coils ) and or a platform bed are all ideal bases to go under the memory foam mattress. The harder the surface, the better the memory foam mattress will perform. In short a box spring is not required. Just a firm surface to go under the mattress!Hope this helps,Steve

We already have a Bunkie board - will that do instead of a box spring? Trying to save money.

I wouldn't think so. Memory foam mattresses generally either need a platform base or a special box spring. Do not try and use a traditional box spring with a memory foam mattress as you will not get the full support of the mattress. I tried for a month using a standard box spring then switched to a memory foam box spring and there is a definite difference, slept much better on the special box spring.

Yes, i used it for a bunk bed. As long as the mattress has a good firm structure

I didn't . I just bought two 12" memory foam mattresses and threw them on. Works great, although 10" mattress would fit better for top bunk.

I'm sure you can but since the Lucid doesn't have a frame, you may not get the same support as if on a flat hard surface. I have it right on the bed frame/bunkie board. It is an awesome mattress. Good value.

The trundle that I have it on has a spring base so I am not using a box spring with it. As I remember bunk beds usually have either slat supports or spring supports so I would say no a box spring shouldn't be needed

I used my old base. It worked fine but I don't know if the memory foam would work. You might try it and if it doesn't box springs aren't too expensive.
