A bunkie board can be made of plywood so these two are pretty much synonymous.
Can you use a bunkie board on a metal bed frame.
For this reason bunky boards work well with platform beds if you re looking to add some additional support to the slat system.
They can rest directly on the slats of a bed frame without adding to the height or bulkiness of the bed.

It depends on the bunkie board and how substantial it is.
Do you need a bunkie board.
Whether or not you need a bunkie board depends on the kind of mattress you own.
I want to know if i would be able to get rid of the boxspring and just use a bunkie board instead.

At least that s been the most stable in my experience.
You can also use them with memory foam or other foam mattresses since they add solid even support.
If your platform bed or bed frame has a solid plywood top rather than slats there is no need for an additional bunkie board.
For a plain metal bedframe like that you ll probably want at least 5 8 or 3 4 inch plywood.
The good news is that you ll almost certainly be able to find a bunkie board that matches the dimensions of your metal frame which can help deliver the support you need.
Bunkie boards can be placed between the bed platform and the mattress between metal or wood bed slats and the mattress or on top of a box spring beneath the mattress.
Just be sure to carefully place the bunkie board on the frame or you could tear the fabric.
Or do i need to drill holes thru the board and screw the board into the frame.
