ZINUS GOOD DESIGN Award Winner Justina Metal Mattress Foundation, 16 Inch Platform Bed, No Box Spring Needed, King, Navy

Sturdy, easy to assemble, and attractive bed frame
I bought this 4 years ago and have recommended it so many times to friends and family over the years since then that I figured I should add a written review as well, because I would absolutely buy it again if I needed another bed frame.My favorite thing about it was the fact that it’s basically a mattress frame, box spring, and bed skirt in one product which is extremely economical since you don’t need to buy all of those separately. I also loved that it had wood legs for a more finished look, and the stain color even matched my headboard. It truly was simple to assemble by myself without needing a second person. The sections were all labeled to be able to match them up easily, the printed instructions were easy to follow, and it even included a rubber mallet for tapping them pieces into place, so no additional tools were needed. Also, the mallet wasn’t just a wimpy disposable tool, so it was a great bonus item that I’ve used many times over the years since then. Another great detail is the fact that the slots that the crossbar rails snap into have rubber/plastic edges over the metal which both holds them snuggly in place and also prevents any noise or wear from metal rubbing against metal. Since I’ve had it 4 years now, I can confirm that it’s held up very well and continued to be a sturdy frame. Since there are no screws to loosen over time, it’s never developed any creaky noises or wobbles like other frames I’ve had before. Honestly, the only thing that I would have designed differently would have been to include a way to attach it to a headboard like most traditional bedframes do. This one didn’t have any brackets for that, and they couldn’t really be added later without cutting through the fabric cover and adding grommets or something similar to prevent the screws from tearing the fabric. Since my headboard was designed to hook onto a bedframe to keep it vertical, I ended up adding industrial strength adhesive velcro style strips on the back of the bed frame and the wall to keep the headboard from sliding around, and those in combination with the weight of the bedframe/mattress pushed up against it have worked fine.

Fast and easy to assemble
So, son #1 needed a mattress foundation, and I’ll be honest – I know very little about this type of bed. Mine is the old school, bed frame, box spring, mattress, so it seems strange to me to not have a box spring, but that seems to be what everything is going to. Anyway, I searched Amazon and this one came up pretty high on the list, and after checking out the reviews for a few along with reading the specifications, we went with this one. What it finally came down to was this one looked the most sturdy and the positive reviews outnumbered the critical by far. My son works some long days in the summer, so when the bed showed up, I fully expected it to wait until the weekend to be put together. Boy, did he prove me wrong. He pulled the box to his room and set to work. In less than an hour, he had everything together and was putting the sheets back on his mattress. No tools were needed, and he said the most complicated part was getting the cover over the frame, only because it’s a tight fit. He did get it on by himself so it wasn’t too complicated. Once it was all together, he bounced around on the bed to see how it would hold up and if it would move on the floor – we have hardwood, real hardwood, not the imitation stuff – and this thing did not budge. My son isn’t a little fellow by any means. I call him my gentle giant for a reason, and that boy can tear up an anvil with a rubber mallet, but this bed held firm. It hasn’t moved at all, and the younger boy has no problem running in and jumping on the bed just to wake up and annoy his older brother. So, I would say this mattress foundation is an excellent value for the money and we’d certainly recommend it.

Sturdy and value
Easy to assemble. Light weight to move. Cover is tight to put on, the trick is to stand up frame on its side. Very sturdy frame. We’re going to order another one for our guest room.

Literally took me 15 mins start to finish!!!!! So sturdy and well built, directions were so easy to follow, and the cover is beautiful and wooden legs look sharp!!!!! Our Logan and Cove mattress is heavy too and is totally supported on this!!!!! Will be recommending and would purchase again if needed!!!!!

I used this for a base to put a mattress on. Very sturdy. Just a bit too high for a traditional mattress. I still like it though. Looks good and a fair price too.

I never in my life mount a bed frame with all parts in 15 minutes. The rubber hammer that comes with the bed frame is the only tools that you need. Congratulations for the conception designer fir this beautiful bed. After done i cannot tell if is metar or wood Amazing beautiful
