How thick is the board on the top? Is it flat and sturdy enough to sleep on the top without mattress or foam?

I wouldn't. It isn't that type of bed. It is a piece of fairly thin plywood that holds the bed up, but isn't super sturdy. It would probably not break, but wouldn't be very comfortable. It does work well with a nice mattress on top though! Does the job

Its 10 inches thick plus the pilloww top. Hope that helps. We are very happy with this mattress.

The Board is flat, Very little if any concave. It can turn tightly and is very flexible for me. I weigh 220lbs. Grip tape comes applied and is not harsh of you plan to ride barefoot, and Can get slippery when wet.

The Bunkie board is about 2-3 inches thick. It fits within the frame of the day bed that I have.

It isn't a solid foam mattress. It seems like it breaths pretty well. My husband it's a ssn sleeper and he hasn't complained at all about it.

I agree with Rachel's answer, is not thick at all. I guess, between the two layers there is a bit of padding but pretty thin. Definitely you don't feel the mattress "quit" design.

It is a board, but is very well padded and folds easily for travel. You probably know this, but there is a sheet for the bottom that makes it very comfortable for sleeping.

The board is very sturdy. It folds flat. It is great for a child's table top. It is not tall enough to stand and play. I have been very pleased with it.

I think this can be a mattress on its on. I use it solo without a box spring.

I have not spent the night on this, but I have laid on it. It is very thick, with a padded top. In my experience with inferior air mattresses, side-sleeping makes contact with the floor through the mattress. That cannot happen with this one. It's about 2 feet thick.

It is nicely dense. I have a king bed made up of 2 twins together and bought this to put on top. You cannot tell there are 2 beds and it is heavenly to sleep on. So much better than a plain mattress. Conforms to your body nicely but returns to original shape quickly. I cannot see a reason to buy a thicker one.

Easily lays flat to the equivalent of a full-sized bed for sleeping. Comfort level depends greatly on the mattress. I'd suggest nothing less than 10" mattress.

It is about 1in thick. The corners are not really rounded. The feet are about a half in high. I really like this board. It is heavy, sturdy, and a great size for rolling out large pastries.

Not flat. I think it's perfect. Far enough to sleep. I would say 75 degrees

I use a thin pillow on top of it... it is a dense pillow. But that is because I like it a little thicker. I have slept on it for a couple months without the pillow on top....you get used to it. I like the support.

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

Yes I purchased it and sleep on it. I'm 5'7 250lbs. I would recomend a plyboard underneath and make sure the screws are secure and tighten.
