This Amazon basics platform is doing it's job well as a foundation but has a big design flaw. The edges of the vertical supporting rods have sharp edges, they should be flattened or covered with some smooth surface. I just placed my brand new mattress on this platform. With just a little movement, it ripped off my new mattress at all the sharp edges making it's warranty void. Please think of this scenario before making any purchase or place smooth cloth cloth over the platform to save your mattress. I have bought a mattress cover too. But i just placed the mattress to check if it is fitting fine on this. But in the first attempt itself, it ripped off my mattress.
This bed frame surprised me, the price being as low as it was, i was expecting something of lesser quality, however i am pleasantly surprised to how well it is holding up so far.
I purchased this to go along with my new King sized Lucid memory foam mattress in January, i am 120lbs and my boyfriend is 170lbs and we sleep with out two pitbulls 50 and 60lbs and we have had no problems whatsoever. I have not experienced any creaking and the bed doesn't slide or sit weird on the frame.
It came in a box,in time (2 day shipping), and although it was a bit heavy i was able to carry it by myself down stairs to the our bedroom in the basement. I set this up with the help of my younger brother but I honestly could have done it myself as all he did was help me pull the thing out of the box and cut some zip ties. It is pretty easy, all you do is pull it out of the box and snaps some corners together and unfold the frame and done!
If this helped you please give it a thumbs up if this review helped you, I am trying to get better at writing reviews.
It's rare that I've ever gotten to say this, but Amazon finally got something right with one of their products. After reading reviews, I was expecting short posts, misaligned holes, broken latches, etc. It literally took more time getting the package in my house and unpacked than it took to assemble the frame and get my bed back on it and made. It was as simple as unfolding four auto-locking legs and then using two bolts and two odd little spacers to secure the frame pieces together. I was even able to toss my box spring.
This is a tall bed. Even without a box spring, the top of my mattress is now above the bottom of the window I sleep next to. I suppose I could get out a measuring tape, but that would take effort. Also, ignore the thing about this only supporting sleepers up to 240 pounds. Pretty sure that should have been 2400 pounds. I am a 360 pound fat boy, and this thing doesn't squeak, move, groan, anything.
This type of bed frame quickly became a favorite because they offer incredible value, easy movability and STORAGE SPACE!
What I Love:
— Easy to put together. The legs lock open and the two frames attach to each other with a super easy connector. No tools needed.
— Sturdy.
— Easy storage The diagonal struts on the legs angle toward the head and foot ends of the bed allowing for easy slide in/slide out of storage boxes. Standard plastic storage boxes, such as Sterilite's 58 Qt, 12.25" high storage box fits perfectly underneath. Eight of those boxes will easily fit under this frame with slide in - slide out ease.
— Inset legs. The legs are inset a few inches from the edge of the frame, so less chance of stubbing a toe. My last one had legs that were flush to the outside edges of the frame and I was forever smacking into one of them. The inset legs are not visible if using a bedskirt; the flush legs are.
— Disassembles and folds up quickly for moving or clearing a room for painting, floor refinishing, carpet cleaning. This is a great bed frame for apartment dwellers and other renters who move fairly often. Very easy to move. Much easier and more compact than a box spring.
What I Did About the One Thing I Don't Love:
— No wheels or casters come on this frame. I bought a set of those round furniture moving dots and put them under the legs to make it easier to move for cleaning, etc.
This thing started out so quiet, but fast forward 6 months later, it’s squeaking up a storm! Great.
I have bought my kids several bed sets all of which they ended up breaking due to cheap materials but I have bought 3 of these so far and they have stood the test of time! I have a older son who literally throws himself on the bed as if it were a wrestling ring and this thing still hasnt broken! I love how easy it is to fold up and move too. No more taking bed frames apart, no more broken box springs or lumpy mattresses due to unbalanced support!
This is a game changer for us. Our storage space is limited, but we wanted an upgrade from air mattresses for our guests. This folds up very compact, is easy to fold up, and provides a really great base for guest bedding. We used it with the Best Price Mattress 4" Trifold Memory Foam Mattress, Twin XL, which worked great. Our guests (aged 70 yrs old) both said they slept incredibly well. Would definitely buy again.
I bought this because the Zinus one wasn't 2 day shipping and I'm glad I did. The set up was very easy. You unfold it, lock the legs, put both pieces together (For a full bed) and lock them together. It took maybe 5 minutes. It supports my bed and I With no sinkage and it does not move or slide when I plop down (I'm about 183 for now).
I do wish it was 20 inches high, to go over my socket (Which has my router plugged in) but, whatever.
Great frame. I'm surprised I don't need a box frame.
