Hi all, I just purchased a new-to-me bed frame and need some help finding the right foundation.
I bought a used bed frame on FB marketplace that I think is designed to be used with a traditional box spring. It’s a mission style wooden bed frame that has three slats, with a foot at the center of each slat. But it has no siderails or ledge of any kind that could be used to hold additional slats, roll out slats or a bunkie board.
We need to add a foundation of some kind but we have a very tall 14" mattress and I’d like to avoid adding too much additional height. The mattress is a NovaForm ComfortGrande Advanced 14” Gel Memory Foam Mattress.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a 2-4" foundation or solution of some kind?
These are what I found with my own quick, amateur search…

Hello and welcome to the forums and thanks for reaching out on this! We have a 1.75" bunkie board on our other website here - Bunk Board - Mattress Foundations
It’s an outstanding product, no harmful chemicals, organic cotton cover, holds up to 1,200 pounds, made with #1 Spruce furniture grade wood, and has many other benefits, so I think it’s worth checking out!
Thanks so much for your response!! My bed is not a platform bed. It has three support slats spaced evenly along the bed that are attached to the frame with cleats. But it doesn’t have anything at the headboard or footboard for a bunkie board to rest on. And it doesn’t have a lip or ledge on the interior of the siderails.
Is this type of bed frame compatible with your product?
The “original bunkie board” says it requires 10" or less of space between existing slats, my bed frame has more space than that between the three slats. Thanks again.
