Add a Bunkie Board or Extra Support
Your frame may need extra support before using a new mattress.
If your slats are spaced too far apart but your frame is otherwise sturdy, a bunkie board can help create a flatter, more supportive surface.

Replace Your Current Support
Your current support may not be strong enough for your new mattress.
If you have a box spring, wide slat spacing, bowed slats, missing center support, or flexing support, consider upgrading to a proper foundation like the Nest Bedding HomeBase.
