ZINUS Quick Lock Bunkie Board, Box Spring & Bed Slat Replacement, Metal Frame with Steel Slats, Easy Assembly, Queen

I bought a brand new Ikea bed when I moved, as well as a new mattress (from mattress firm). Immediately after getting the mattress on the bed frame (was fine on the floor) I started to notice that I was having a lot of fitful sleep & back pain. The Ikea slats are two lines of slats that are bowed upwards, creating a divot in the middle of the frame, which according to reddit has ruined people's mattresses over time. I went back to get their more expensive slats & immediately put it back in the box to return when I saw the slats were ALSO BOWED!I turned to Amazon and their trusty reviews to find this metal box spring replacement & it did not disappoint! It was SO EASY to put together. The only issue, which was listed in prev reviews, is that it slides a bit in the bed (longwise from head to toe of frame). BUT, a trusty reviewer stated that they just used some of the packing material foam bricks to shove in the space at the foot of the bed to keep it still & honesty, it was a perfect fit! I would highly suggest to get this frame & just use the packaging to fill in the little inch or so space to keep it from moving. My back is already happier & this was cheaper than the expensive Ikea slats that still don't work.If you're waiting for a sign to fix your crappy Ikea slats without having to get rid of the pretty frame, GET THIS!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:We bought a new mattress and bed frame in January, and while the mattress was great, the frame just never felt sturdy enough. We looked for some additional support, and read a ton of reviews before deciding on this product. It was so easy to assemble (plus it came with great tools to help) and we slept on it for the first time last night. I immediately noticed a difference. The bed feels sturdier, and doesn’t rattle when either of us moves. It was a GREAT solution. We did use some zip ties just to be sure that it doesn’t slide around, but no one looking at the bed would notice, as those are hidden under the mattress.

Frequebtly, i had a hard time when i assemble the item. Not this time. The instruction is very clear and each part are indicated with numbers, When I assemble the part, there is no issue at all. Also the parts fit to each other very well. I should give SIX STARS for the quality and easy assembly instruction.the tooll which was provide is very easy to use.I wish that the product over all size were a half inch smaller, it will fix better.

Overall, I really like this box spring, and I'm giving it a solid 4 stars.Getting it into the house and put together was super easy. I especially loved that Zinus included a torque Allen wrench; it seriously made assembly a breeze.The only real snag with this box spring is if you're using it with a bed frame that already has a built-in platform for your mattress. It takes a bit of rigging because it tends to slide around and creak since it's metal on metal. My fix involved using zip ties to secure it and some foam to quiet down that metal-on-metal noise.If you're using this on a traditional bed frame, you'll have a much better time. That said, it offers more support than my bed frame's platform alone, and the 1.6" low profile is fantastic because our bed isn't nearly as tall as it would be with a 4" or 5" box spring.

Just what I needed. Easy assembly--even includes a small ratchet wrench! Excellent size & fit for Queen size bed frame. Plastic fittings to eliminate squeaking is very nice feature. The double-faced tape along the top some slats is a nice thought to reduce skidding, but probably not very effective--it would only be sticking to the cloth-underside of the mattress or platform above, which is fairly loose material. Instructions identified parts as A, B,...etc., but the parts were numbered with stickers 1, 2, ... etc. Not a big issue, but should be made consistent. Recommended, and would buy again.

Great design, Perfect size, great quality and really sturdy .

Great product

One of the metal bars did not align correctly. Had to pry off metal piece so that holes would align.
