ZinusAnnemarie Solid Wood Bed Support Slats/Fabric-Covered/Bunkie Board, Twin

I purchased this item because the bed frame we purchased needed a box spring and didn’t realize it until it arrived and we put together. After doing my own searching I found this and purchased and it works great! It’s been a week! It’s perfect for my 7 year old for his twin bed! It’s strong sturdy and perfect fit! I’m even thinking of getting one for our kind size bed to get extra support! I deff recommend!

Was skeptical of Zinus, they have "2,000 lb." bed frames for memory foam mattresses that break in a year (white label: it's the same as many other frames for $125.)But these did the job. Vertical wood slats combined with my existing bed frame's metal horizontal beams means no sagging, every part of the bed feels even, and no dipping.Some notes:-- For spring mattresses, this will NOT replace your box spring. Seen a lot of pics of folks putting this in traditional metal bed frames expecting it to work. (Same as any other long planks of wood: if a kid jumps on the mattress, without cross members, it'll snap. What is expected here?) This is meant to add stability to beds with existing horizontal slats of some kind (wood, metal, etc.) that are just too far apart for a mattress to be well supported.-- Sliding around is real, but again, this shouldn't be the sole thing holding the mattress up. This is intended to be part of mattress support, not a sole support. After placing the mattress on, I let the planks shift inward, then pulled them back to the edge and checked underneath that none were overlapping or doubled up. All set.-- My current bed frame has horizontal slats, but the measurements were over 6" apart, which is against most memory foam mattress warranties. By putting these over it, it has a "lattice" appearance combined with the horizontal slats, and the wood makes contact with each horizontal slats distributing weight across all of the slats evenly (versus each horizontal slats receiving pressure and shifting/bending/buckling over time on their own.)-- Mold sucks. I'm sorry for those who found them with mold shipped. This is common with wood products and shipping containers + moisture + time, it is extremely possible these left the factory 100% but had spores on the wood or they transferred on from other contaminated product mid shipment. Its also possible Zinus failed a quality check. I'm not writing this for them. I bought these, no freebies or review samples here.I'm a big guy, but not tremendously so. 280 lbs, 6 ft. tall. And I've learned that most weight ratings on mass-produced bed platforms are nonsense. Anything spot-welded breaks over time just as easily as wood snaps given time and repeated pressure. I don't even slump down when I'm tired, I'm careful to sit each time before lying, and it still happens. The goal is getting more time out of a cheap bed frame, versus paying $600-1,200 for something with all sorts of feature I don't need (shelves, upholstered pillow-stitch headboard, trundle bed, drawers, etc.) that is likely assembled the exact same way with the same quality of parts.In closing, you can't pay for quality without overseeing someone custom-building it or doing it yourself. So, stack the deck where you can. This isn't going to replace a box spring. But it's a lot less unwieldy and likely cheaper (wood prices haven't really come back down) than getting a plywood sheet from the hardware store cut to fit your bedframe, stapling a fabric cover over it, and laying over the slats to 'back them up'. That's what this is for.

Bed is more firm, squeaks less, & probably more steady. no sliding yet. Perfect size for my queen. Given the other reviews this product exceeded my expectation. Sliding has not been an issue as of yet, only got it yesterday. Size is a perfect fit for my queen. Super easy to use and I feel my bed is more sturdy as the weight is now distributed across all the support beams. Excellent choice especially if you have a memory mattress foam and are concerned about the gaps in the slats on your regular bed frame. Also the delivery woman was exceptional.

I ordered this to go over a metal box spring that has horizontal slats so that my memory foam mattress wouldn't sink into. I love that these slats run vertically so it nicely distributes the weight over the metal horizontal slats. The fabric cover will help keep the memory foam mattress in good shape. Arrived quickly and install was fast & easy. 5 star recommend!

I ordered this as a first time bougie board buyer as it was cheap and exactly what I needed. The boards fit perfectly on the bed frame. From top of the bed to end, the height is just right. There was also no assembly required. All we had to do was remove it from the box and honestly, that’s the only noise these things made. There is no squeaking or movement.
