Therefore, these are cheaper and more durable options for mattress foundation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The spacing between the slats should not be too wide as it will lead to the sagging of the mattress. A 3 inch spacing between the slats is a good option to prevent sagging.

The height of these boards is about a few inches, and they can be customized as per the size of the mattress.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>To protect the mattress from tearing, it is covered with fabric. Bunkie boards prevent the sinking of the mattresses, and it also helps protect the shape of the mattress.

Bunkie boards are flat sheets of wood covered using a fabric, whereas plywood is thin wooden sheets that are placed together and glued. Bunkie boards are polished and covered in fabric.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>They can be made using plywood, metals, particle wood etc. They can be slatted, as a result of which the airflow improves. But, plywood is a lightweight flat sheet and does not promote good airflow compared to bunkie boards.

They are not the best options for memory foam mattresses. The mattress can push in between the slats.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As a result, the mattress can get damaged easily, and its lifespan may also be reduced. But, bed slats can be replaced by plywood to increase the strength of the bed as a whole. As the surface of plywood is flat and even, they extend better and firmer support to the mattress. Thus, slats can be replaced with an appropriate plywood sheet.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1648724072376\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>Will plywood make a mattress firmer?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Lack of proper sturdy support can lead to mattress sagging. This affects the quality of the mattress and also durability reduces. For a firm base, plywood sheets are very good options. <br \/>These sheets can improve the mattress&#8217;s durability, helping it stay in position without sliding off. Also, due to the firm surface of the plywood sheet, it can make the mattress firmer.
