I feel like a Queen in my Queen size plaftorm bed frame, my fiance' and I are a little thick so the bed is sturdy! It's been nearly a week and I have no complaints. I was worried not having a box spring and just having my bed would be uncomfortable but it has increased the comfort of my sleep. A Must have!!!

So far, it has been a sturdy bed frame. You can easily fit boxes underneath it, like printer paper boxes. If you have a small place, like I do, having extra storage space like this is great. Be advised that it will make your bed VERY tall. After I added my box spring and mattress it made the top of my bed 38" from the floor! You might want to add a skirt as well to hide the stuff under your bed.

I purchased 2 beds for my 2 grandsons. They were perfect in every way, starting with ease in assembling. They were very sturdy and should hold up to 2 energetic boys. So good to find a durable bed that allows lots of room for under-bed storage since their bedroom is rather small. I was able to store 3 giant bins under each bed which solved their storage problems. Lastly, my heart bleeds whenever the little one stubs his little toe on a sharp corner. The curved legs on these beds should solve that problem. My daughter could not thank me enough for purchasing them for her new home. I know it's corny, but I always tell her that you can't go wrong with Wayfair.

Great bed frame. It doesn’t squeak at all and is extremely sturdy. I picked this one because it has a high weight limit but doesn’t have a center support on the sides that I am 100% sure I would have broken toes on. A center side support also would have made it more difficult to store large objects under the bed and this bed is GREAT for under bed storage.

Good, sturdy, easy to assemble. I love the under-bed storage. Some reviews complained of squeaking, but this thing is solid as a rock- not sure how that would happen unless maybe they didn’t tighten the screws enough? On the product page under “additional tools required (not included)” it says that a hexagon spanner (which is another name for a hex key or Allen wrench) is needed. I’m not sure why it says that, both sizes of hex key required for assembly are, in fact, included. I’m very satisfied with this product.

This frame did just the trick. I needed a light weight, less clunky twin bed frame for my trundle mattress setup now that one of my guest bedrooms is also my office. It was super easy to put together and is extremely easy to move around. The low profile is the biggest plus. It’s primarily become a day bed throne for my dogs lol. I purchased this item in 2021, waited almost a year to write the review to make sure the product was still holding up, and in fact it is!

We are very pleased. It is sturdy. The instructions were easy to follow. However, the middle crossbar should be marked because it has a hole to be attached to the main frame. We had to remove many of the bars looking for the right one. Not a big deal though. We knew what to look for when putting the second bed frame together. I would recommend.

Literally a perfect, simple bed frame. I was able to install it by myself. I took 4-5 trips to get the parts upstairs, but everything just fit together perfectly, and then just screwed it all into place. So far no creaking. Double check that your mid-bar leg is straights after attaching to frame. Very sturdy. Exactly what is advertised. Perfect for a small room because there is no extra bed-frame to take up space, and it created lots of storage.

This was really easy to put together and very sturdy. I love that I didn’t need a box spring and was able to just put the mattress right on top. However, if you have a bed skirt, it will slide which you may or may not like. I’m sure there is a way to make it more table, but I did find that a box springs holds a bed skirt in place where as this didn’t. However, this aspect didn’t bother me too much and I love how high the frame is. Would recommend.

Very sturdy. Perfect for our NYC apartment, we were able to fit all our suitcases under and extra storage. Does not make any noise. The only reason why I gave it 4 stars is because our king size bed that we bought from Wayfair, does not fit on this frame. The frame width is slightly smaller than the actual mattress itself.

Assembly was super easy although instructions could be a lot clearer. As others, I love the space underneath. No need for a box frame and I ended up taking mine to the dump as it was old anyways. My only complaint is that the coating on one of the corners was scratched off and the bed frame was already assembled by the time I noticed so I wasn't gonna disassemble and return just for that. Overall it's pretty stable and no squeaking.

I was surprised by the quality of the frame, it seems very sturdy and was easy to put together on my own. The finish is pretty durable, there were a few scratches from shipping but in hidden areas. The instructions also arent so great if youve never assembled something like this, though I appreciate the extra parts provided. I definitely didnt an electric drill and have never had that suggested for stuff like this. I would suggest putting all the bolts in place before starting to fully tighten them, basically loosely assemble everything (including at least one slat!) first. Do a little bit of tightening at a time and make sure the parts are sitting properly before each adjustment, wiggle it around a bit to make sure theyre settled. Youll be going back to each bolt many times before the job is done. If you dont do this, bolts and parts can be misaligned more easily, and thats where loose connections and squeaks come from. If youre having a problem with squeaks, purchasing and adding spring washers could help if simply tightening the bolts does not. Im kinda surprised they werent included to be honest.The biggest issue I had personally was the welded inserts for the slats are all wonky so almost none of the slats fit in all the way - or at all in some cases. I had to carefully mess with quite a few just to get the slat in between. Hammering the slats down would make the frame very difficult to take apart and Im worried it could break the inserts, so time will tell how that affects the way it takes the weight and how well the mattress sits. The slats arent sitting on the bottom of the inserts, theyre all just kind of wedged in, and while that can clearly take a lot of weight it doesnt seem like an ideal design. The rest of the construction is very precise so that was a surprise.My headboard lined up just fine, but the thick legs of the frame requires longer bolts than youd need with a standard 7-8 metal frame. The mattress fits well into the space, not a squeeze and not a ton of extra space, not prone to sliding. Bought bedding a size up so the bedskirt and comforter would look right - good call as between the height and the mattress inset space, the proper size would be too small. The space underneath is insanely useful in terms of height, access, and area, with only the centre leg to work around. It can easily fit my 15 storage bins. Im quite pleased with my new bed overall, but like others have said, the real test is how well it will hold up over time. You expect a bed frame rated for that weight to last longer than a couple years, and if it does Id be happy to give it 5 stars.

Full / Double

A Full / Double bed is a bed meant for couples to share, however with the emergence of so many size options full-double beds are now mainly meant for single sleepers. Back in the 1940s a couple would perfectly fit and enjoy a full double bed, in fact you might have seen one in those 90s movies a classic full-double bed with a nightstand next to it and an old black and white TV on the wall. In modern day, full-double beds are still very popular, mainly among the younger generation who are not married yet and desire a little bit of comfort. Full-double beds fell out of favor of many couple with the introduction of king and queen size beds in to the markets. But despite that a full-double bed is still an excellent choice for single adults with limited space but still desire a bigger bed.

King

A king size bed is the largest standard bed that you will find in the market plus it measures 76 inches by 80 inches, making it a great and popular choice among couple. Single sleepers with the proper finances also enjoy the luxury and comfort of having a huge bed all to themselves. The King Size bed also comes in different variations which are the California size bed that’s 4 inches longer than a normal king size bed and 4 inches narrower, another variation is the California king size bed, the ideal choice if you are sharing your bed with someone who is more than 6 feet tall. If you are couple looking for a bed with extra comfort and space for the both of you I would highly recommend the King size bed as it’s a combination of unmatched comfort and luxury.

Queen

A Queen Size bed is usually 60 inches by 80 inches. It’s a very popular bed as it ideal for various kind of lifestyle, it can suit a wide range of sleepers such as single sleepers looking for a luxurious bed or couple who are shopping on a budget. A queen size bed can fit in most bedrooms making it ideal for couples who want to share a bed plus also its affordability. The Queen Size bed has different variations in case you need a size larger than a normal queen bed but smaller than a king sized bed. These variations include an Olympic queen sized bed which has 6 extra inches on its width and a California queen which has 4 extra inches in length. A queen size bed will fit perfectly well in large bedrooms and smaller bedrooms.

Twin

A Twin bed also referred to as a single bed is one of the smallest bed in the market with a dimension of 38’’ by 75’’. Its compact size makes it ideal for single sleepers may it be children or an adult living in a small space such as a studio apartment. It’s an affordable and versatile bed set up for various sleepers such as toddlers and college student in the dorm. For over several decades it has been one of the most popular beds among college students and young children in their early teens as you can find it in most of their bedrooms, however in this modern age where people are seeking for more comfort and space, the popularity of twin beds is been over taken by queen size beds. Despite being great for growing children it’s also very flexible and versatile especially if you are trying to maximize the space in your bedroom.

Black

When trying to open up a smaller bedroom most people often think about bright colors with light hues, but also there is a stronger advantage for going darker and there is no better way to do that than with a black bed. Black is known to amplify small spaces and also set the right mood in your bedroom space. A black colored bed makes your bedroom fell more intimate and special in ways that you could have never imagined before, something that you would never achieve with any of those bright colors. There is nothing as important as setting the right mood in your bedroom especially if you are a couple since it’s the base of your relationship romantically. A black bed adds a touch of intrigue but still blends right into the bedroom décor colors creating a timeless look.

Platform

You may be looking for a bed that is timeless and cost-effective and maybe your life quote is "simplicity is beauty," then you can swear by platform beds. A platform bed is a simple bed frame that has a solid foundation capable to hold any type of mattress without the need of a box spring. It also comes with built-in slats to allow airflow and breathability. And since box springs are unnecessary, you can save money if you decide to buy a new mattress.

Though simple, it doesn't mean that this type of bed is boring. Platform beds come from various materials, such wood, metal, and fiberboard. You may even have them upholstered for an added classic touch! Ideal for all ages, they are also available in different sizes: twin, full, queen, and king. Interestingly, platform beds are great for storing extra stuff since many of them come with drawers and headboard shelving, perfect for keeping your bedroom tidy.

Metal

One of the most asked question when it comes metallic beds is, are they safe for younger children? And the answer is always, yes they are. One of reason to why metal beds have grown in popularity over the last couple of years is the fact that they require less maintenance since as we all know metal does not dent or scratch easily making it even a more attractive option as compared to wooden and plastic beds. When it comes to durability also metal beds are currently the most durable beds in the market more durable than the wooden beds and would even handle more weight than a wooden bed frame. Metal beds are also highly portable since they are lighter than other types of bed, and in case you are the kind of person who love rearranging their bedroom setup you will definitely love the metal bed.

Single Material

When you need to kick back and unwind on your own, you need a single-material bed. Single-material beds are an excellent choice for anyone that likes simplicity and practicality. Without combining materials, you get a clean and uniform looking bed that will match any bedroom. The con of a single-material bed is that they won’t stand out as much as other beds, but this can also be a pro as well, as it means they’ll easily blend into any room and not take attention away from other features that are nearby. The single-material is recommended if you’re after a bed for a minimalist setting, something that looks very simple and neutral - then you’re going to be satisfied by the single-material bed. Single-material beds also look great when you have two separate beds in the same room - the single-material look really gives the room a strong, matching and consistent appearance.

Steel

Unlike other kind of metallic beds a steel bed is entirely susceptible to developing rust. A steel bed is usually a simple, elegant bedroom furniture, plus no matter your bedroom style a steel bed will complement your style may it be modern, vintage, contemporary, etc. A steel bed design will make your bedroom look even more stylish and chic, and not forget with a steel bed you can easily change the color to match that of your bedroom walls. Steel beds are popular in kids bedroom since many kid’s bedroom usually have a pop of many different colors making a steel bed the perfect fit due to its brightness. Before buying that steel bed make sure its genuine steel since steel is known for its good quality and a good quality steel bed will definitely serve you for years. A steel bed will definitely be a perfect choice for your bedroom.

Bed Frames

Bed frames also known as bed steads are terms used to describe the support your mattress rests upon. It’s that part of your bed that holds up your mattress from the floor. A bed frame is one of the most overlooked part of a bed when making a bed purchase as most people tend to focus on the mattress alone, however, it’s good to note that bedframes play a crucial role when it comes to the comfort of your bed. The right bed frame provides you with enough comfort and support despite the type of mattress you are sleeping on, so if you have a bed that’s squeaking, sagging, or unstable the problem is usually your bed frame. As we all know a good night sleep starts with a solid foundation, a bedframe will impact the quality of sleep you get, a bed frame will even cause back pains and aches.

Beds

A bed can be referred as a piece of furniture which is used as a place to fall asleep and relax. In this modern age beds consist of a soft cushioned mattress and a bed frame, the mattress is usually resting on a sprung base, solid base, or a wood slats. Beds come in different sizes ranging from infant-sized cribs to small beds that can just accommodate one person, to large king and queen sized beds designed for two or more people. Most bed are usually a single mattress and a fixed frame, however there are other varieties such as a sofa bed, which folds out of a sofa or a murphy bed that folds in to a wall. Other beds can be referred as temporary beds as they contain neither a bedframe nor a mattress, a good example is the inflatable air mattress or the folding camp cot.
