How to Measure a Bed Board
Bed boards provide comfort for those with sagging mattresses, broken springs or injured bodies. They typically are made of wood; some can fold up, making them easy to take with you for travel. However, a bed board only helps when it is the same length and width of the bed itself; otherwise it can make health issues worse. Measuring a bed board requires only a tape measure. Does this Spark an idea?
