Perfect to stop squeaky wooden slats!
The Zinus bunkyboard is hands down one of the best purchases I've made this year. My nice expensive bedframe started squeaking horribly after it was only a year old. I narrowed it down to the wood slats, but the thought of having to go get new slats, take the frame apart and reassemble, and then hope that the new wood holds up made me put it off and deal with the squeeking/creaking every time I or my wife moved for months. When I finally decided to deal with it, I came across the bunkyboard (I had never heard of it before) and decided to give it a shot because it was so cheap.
Assembly took maybe 15 minutes and the instructions, hardware, etc are all surprisingly great quality. I decided to lay the bunkyboard directly on top of my squeaky bed slats, and then put the mattress on top. Low-and-behold, no more noise! I can literally jump on the bed now and it's silent. As an added bonus, the adhesive strips on the top hold my mattress in place so it doesn't slide around anymore.
EXTRA TIP: I bought the "TRU Lite Bedding Non-Slip Mattress Pad" and put it between the wood slats and the bunkyboard so that the metal was not touching the wood, this stopped it from sliding or making any noise when moving around.
