Best Bed Frame On Earth!
I'm not kidding about the title one bit. This frame is like a tank! My old frame squeaked and rattled even when it was new, and it bent easily. This new one is super heavy-duty. The advertised weight limit of 3,000 lbs seems like a joke, but it might as well be true, because I tested it. I'm 200 lbs and I'm the smallest of my friends. Three of us stood on it, approximately 800 lbs. One is 250, the other 350. It didn't even wobble, creak or strain. Since I have had it, it has not moved along the tile floor, even though I move a lot during sleep. With my old frame, I had to reposition the bed against the wall every day, and eventually used some hardware to accomplish that. I don't have to do that any more, or even use the eye rings and zip ties to brace the new frame to the wall. The legs are thick with excellent foot padding to prevent all movement. The materials are extremely high quality. The price is incredibly affordable. If I can afford it on Social Security, then anybody can can afford it. Just because it's affordable, that doesn't mean that it skimps on material or build quality. This is how things need to be made and what they should cost. It gives me an incredibly secure and comfortable sleep. I no longer feel like my frame is going to collapse under me, like my old frame always made me feel... And eventually it did collapse on me. The size is absolutely perfect for my mattress, which is also new. Assembling it was fun for me. I am absolutely terrible at fixing things and I know nothing about tools. However, the instructions were easy to understand, and I was able to put it together all by myself, even though it suggests that two people assemble it. Sure, it took me a few hours, but that's more because of my disabilities than a problem with the product. I've never felt so accomplished! The only complaint that I have is that the beams are rather slick. I tuck my sheets in on the foot end and also on one side, for my sleeping comfort to keep the sheets on top of me taunt, and to make it easier to make my bed in the morning. The sheets stay in place PERFECTLY at the foot, because the sheets "lock" in place due to the beams acting like speed bumps, restricting the movement of the sheets. But since I also tuck on one side, the sheets slide down the beams like a train on tracks. Fortunately, buying some non-slip mattress pads has resolved that issue. I put one pad between the frame and bottom of the sheets, and one pad between the top of the sheets and the mattress. Problem solved. But then again, how many people make their bed like I do? NONE! So this is not a concern that anybody needs to have, unless they want to make their bed like I do. I would also like it if there were about three times as many of the plastic clips to keep the mattress in place on top of the frame. Just keeping one clip in the middle does keep the mattress in place very well, but the ends puff out a little bit. I would like three of these on each side, at the middle, and two more at the end of each side near the corners. I have OCD so it's more of a personal annoyance to the slightly imperfect alignment of the mattress on the frame at the corners, than it is to the honest functionality of the frame. Overall, I absolutely love this frame. In about 10 years I know I'll have to replace my mattress. I can rest assured that at the same time, I will not have to replace my frame, because this thing is practically indestructible. Read more
