Bedding GuidesBunkie Board vs Box Spring: What's the Difference and Which Do You Need?
Bunkie boards and box springs are not the same. A bunkie board is a thin (1-3 inch) solid panel; a box spring is a 5-9 inch coil-and-frame foundation. Use a bunkie board for foam, latex, and platform beds; use a box spring with a traditional innerspring on a metal frame.
