ZINUS 14 Inch SmartBase Euro Slats Mattress Foundation Metal Platform Bed, Box Spring Needed, Sturdy Steel & Wood Frame. Underbed Storage, Full, Black

I’ve had this bed frame since 2019, currently 2025. It’s still sturdier than ever. Only thing I’d say is if you have wood floors get some covers for the bottom so they don’t scratch the floor 10/10.

I purchased this queen bedframe because I wanted the 14 inch clearance for storage underneath the bed and because the leg supports in the corners are set back. Very important for me because I sometimes bang my toes on the corners of bed frames when I walk around the beds. I also wanted to replace my old bed frame that had a headboard and footboard built in. I gained almost an extra foot of space in my small bedroom with this new frame which DOES NOT ACCOMMODATE a headboard or footboard. Those were my reasons. Cost was secondary.This was not he fastest item to put together (took about 45 minutes) but it was the easiest item to assemble that I have ever purchased, bar none. Top quality nuts and bolts, well made frame and get this... Every hole lined up just as they were supposed to so no struggle lining the parts up and forcing the bolts to go in. Every bolt and every part fit as they are supposed to.When completed the bed frame was very sturdy and light enough that a kid could move it around the room. Even the assembly tools that are included in the kit were good quality and can be kept in your tool box for other projects. There were also extra nuts and bolts and other parts included. NOTE... You must tighten the bolts very snug if you do not want the bed frame to squeek later on down the line. Crank them down!The wooden slats are spaced 2 1/2 to 3 inches apart and are well supported by 1" square metal rails underneath and around the outside. The bed frame is flat once assembled and you can put any kind of matress on top of it. Thin, thick, memory foam, it doesn't matter because the top surface of the frame is flat and is the exact same size as your queen matress.The bed frame is 14 inches high so it is meant to replace your box spring. You can still put a box spring down first but that will make your bed very high and difficult to get on unless you are over 6 ft tall. If you have gel foam or are concerned about your matress material squeezing between the wooden slats, just put a fitted piece of 1/4 inch plywood down first. Problem solved.I cannot say enough good things about this bed frame but I highly recommend it and it is well worth spending a few extra dollars to get this frame vs the cheaper frames out there. I searched the amazon site for almost an hour studying each frame before deciding on this one. One of the best decisions I have made was choosing this frame. Thanks Amazon for providing this frame and thanks to the manufacturer for producing such a high quality product. To me, this is a best of the best products. And... No more stubbed toes!!!

This foundation is being used for a Latex Foam Mattress. I tried two different foundations from amazon before this one. The first one was a foundation + box spring combo by Handy Living, but the springs sagged and didn't proved proper support for a foam mattress. The second one was a fold up steel wire grid frame, but the problem with that was that the wires were way too small and the base foam of the mattress started to sag through the wire grid, even though the grid was completely solid. Finally I decided to go with this frame.When the frame was delivered, it was in a slim but very LONG box that looked like it was sitting in a dirty warehouse for a long time. This deterred me a bit, but I set it up anyways. It took about 45 minutes to setup completely, and by the time all the wood slats were in place, most of my concerns were gone. This is definitely a solid frame when put together. The wood slats feel just a little cheap, but altogether very solid. The thing that got my attention about this design was the fact that there isn't a long metal bar down the center of the frame like with most cheap foundations, something that I could always feel underneath the mattress and would cause me to roll one way or the other when laying in the middle. This wood slats on this foundation run the full length of the frame, giving you a very even feel across the whole mattress. The bottom of my mattress no longer sags through the openings since the slats give the proper support a foam mattress needs. Best of all, this frame doesn't make a single sound, something I've always struggled with other frames that made it nearly impossible to fall asleep. If you have a memory foam or latex mattress, GET THIS FRAME. no other frame design will give you the correct support.One small complaint is that the outside legs of the foundation are on the very edge of the frame, making it very easy to stub your toe if you're not careful. Not worth taking a star off since that's how the design had to be, but definitely something to keep in mind. All in all, best frame I've used yet. Will update review if it doesn't hold out.
