can anyone tell me where the best place to buy a "bunkee" matress would be? we have the frame to a car bed..got it for 20.00, but it didnt come with a matress...AArons has them for 259.00 thats ridiculous though!! my little boy thinks the frame is an indoor sand box-just no sand , but stuffed animals-thats where i look for him if he is hiding...lol:razz:

I don't know where you are, but this store in Texas has the bunkie boards for $49, then you just add whatever Twin sized mattress you want :) You could also possibly use wood slats (have home depot or lowes cut them to size if you want to save yourself some trouble, too) and just put a mattress on top of that. My kids had bunks when they were little, and the bottom bunk was a full, so it had a roll of wooden slats that the mattress rested on and the top had a bunkie board.

I bought a bunkie board at Big Lots 2 months ago for $24.99. They also had the bunkie matresses, but I'm not sure on the price.

Thats where we bought ours also.

went to big lots and they didnt even have bunk beds here...lol...any other ideas?

are you close to Madison, TN? There's a Big Lots furniture there :)

We use a blow-up mattress in our top bunk; makes it much easier to change the sheets and the firmness is easy to adjust. We usually buy them when they're on sale at Target.

Do you have a Denver Mattress Co nearby. They have a bunky board/mattress combo that you can usually get for $99. Good Luck!

You might try IKEA... we have bunk beds for my son, and they have foam mattresses from ~$79+... we have been very satisfied.
