Is there a need for a bunkie board for either the top or bottom bunk?

No, there are solid pieces of flat wood instead of slats so you can use any mattress

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

I'm sure you could, but I don't think I'd recommend it. The spacing between the upper & lower bunk is a bit shorter than normal. My husband & I are always hitting our heads!

we got a bunky board which was suggested since we were going to use bed rails and a box spring would have been too thick. For a child you don't need the box spring but for an adult I would suggest it. I love this bed. I have 2 daughters and we got the first bed for our oldest when she was out of the crib and now that our second daughter is out of the crib we got another of the exact bed. We did spend a bit more on good mattresses but they both love their beds.

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

the bottom bunk can be removed or not used at all. although it may effect bed stability. haven't tried myself. but i could see it working.

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

Agreed with others, the answer is no. The headboard is taller. If you buy two to do bunkbeds, you use the taller two for the bottom and the shorter two for the top. Hope that helps.

The two beds can be used seperately but if you remove the railings from the top bunk there's no way to add a headboard/footboard

When you put this bed together you will find that the only thing that holds the top bunk to the botton bunk is 4 wooden pegs located in the bottom bunk. We have lifted the top bunk off and used it as a second bed with no trouble. One thing we found out is how close to the celing the top bunk is when the bed is together. Our house has celing fans in the bedroom so we had to be careful where we put the bed. You may want to choose a trundle bed instead. If we had to do it again we would have chosen the trundle bed. One other thing, this bunk bed set is of good quality, however they only have 3 cross bed slats for each bunk. I bought additional material from a local lumber company and doubled the slats.

We got a mattress with a wood frame built into the bottom, but I would go with the bunky to do it again.

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!

I am not sure I understand your question. You say you need to get rid of the boxsprings but then you are putting plywood on top of the bed springs. I am confused. The bunkie board would look better than plywood.

No box spring, it would be too thick anyways to fit both box spring and mattress on bottom bunk.

No mam. No bunkie boards needed. Very nice bed you will be happy with it. Very sturdy.

I would say, No. There is a strap to wrap around a box spring mattress, for stability. A bunk bed does not have a box spring mattress. The strap would have to be wrapped around the frame, thus, being visible.

as long as you have a good mattress. We had to buy a better one when we added the bunky board.
