Zinus Compack Vertical Wood Slats, Box Spring Replacement, King

Purchased a vintage bed frame and it didn't come with slats. I was scared to drill into it and damage it, so this was a great solution. It supports a foam mattress with no issues, and seems very sturdy. No set-up besides unrolling it, so even easier. The frame I have didn't require any addition attachments, and it fits perfect to size. This would probably be great for weird dorm beds, or less supportive frames. Doesn't add much thickness to the mattress and isn't bulky at all.

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.

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I ordered the ZINUS Compact Fabric Covered Wood Slats, but I’m so glad I gave it a try. This little gem has completely transformed my son’s twin bed setup! He no longer wakes up complaining about his mattress sagging or feeling uncomfortable, and trust me, for a growing boy, sleep is everything. What I Loved: Easy Setup: It came pre-assembled and rolled up. I literally just unrolled it onto the bed frame. No tools. No fuss. Done in under 2 minutes. Strong Support: These slats are solid. My son jumps on the bed (as kids do), and these slats don’t budge or creak. It feels like a high-end box spring without the bulk. Low Profile: Perfect for bunk beds or low platform frames. I paired it with a medium-firm mattress and it gave the perfect amount of lift without making the bed too high. Fabric Covered: The clean design adds a nice touch, and the fabric helps prevent the mattress from sliding around. Perfect for: Replacing bulky box springs Making bunk beds safer and more comfortable Anyone needing a minimalist but strong foundation. Final Thoughts: This is one of those things you don’t realize you need until you try it. It’s a small upgrade with a big impact. If you're on the fence don’t be. It’s well worth it!

I have a nectar mattress which felt too squishy with my current frame (wood slats.) these are already put together and weresuper easy to place by myself. I noticed my mattress was more supported immediately and I have had much less back pain since I'm a stomach sleeper! Its been a few months now and it doesn't feel as firm as it did before but its still better than without it. I don't notice them slipping around at all.

I had really bad back pain and thought my new extra thick mattress was to blame. Then I read it could just be the bed frame or slats. I was using ikea luroy slats and i think.they were not string enough. I bought these and placed them on top of the slats. The ikea slats are horizontal and these are vertical. So its a criss cross pattern now and no sinking is possible. Lol. I might remove the ikea ones. But honestly my back pain subsided after a few days. I could not believe it. Im sleeping 100 times better because of these. I like that they are vertical. These slats are really really good quality. I loved the packaging and just how easy they were to lay down. It took me about a minute total to fix my bed. Now that I'm waking up with NO BACK PAIN and not stiff, I feel better. I would recommend this company and these slats. They are not cheaply made. They look and feel solid. I'm happy and I was miserable in pain.

Perfect support for my hybrid mattress. I have an older frame that requires a boxspring. I opted for this because it was less expensive and not too high. It gives the bed Perfect support. I tried others, but this is the best. Highly recommend!

Sturdy and did the job!

This seems like it is missing a whole slat and I measured the bed prior to buying so something isn’t right here. So if you want partial support this is for you.

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.

Awesome product that supported my mattress perfectly it won't sink my mattress between the gap of my daybed frame. I'm comfortable. The product is strong, and sturdy, the cover cloth is washable. That's all I need to keep my mattress on shape for a long time. This bunkie bed support I'm very sure will last for many years. I recommend this to many customers. I give it 5 +++++++ stars.

We purchased it as a replacement for box spring. We are happy with the purchase. It does what is made for. The only thing I would like to mention is the we need to adjust it once in a month or 2 to make sure the bed stays in place. Overall great product for once who wants to save some money. It is good for those who wants flexibility when moving from one place to another as it's very easy to transport.

Looking for light-weight alternative to solid particle board to reinforce the crosswise (unfinished) wood slats on my twin-sized daybed. This bunkie board comprises length-wise wood slats, encased in non-woven synthetic material. Perfectly sized to rest overtop existing slats, covering exposed wood and providing additional support. I don't know that this item would work w/out something below, but I was willing to purchase at amazon warehouse (aka "scratch'n dent") pricing. Works for my purposes.

This is the best product i bought from Amazon. The Slats are very sturdy and strong. They fit perfectly. They are neat and well assembled. I feel a significant difference after putting them under my mattress.
