Promising review: “Very good value. Very sturdy. No squeaks. And my twin mattress covered the whole platform, so there are no hard sides bugging you when you are sitting on edge of the bed. Also, you could mount an interesting headboard if you like because this is such a visually quiet platform base. Comes with a great little ratchet Allen wrench, so assembly was easy and quick.” —SF Mom

Target
Promising review: “We bought this bed frame alongside a Zinus mattress about 1.5 years ago. We loved it from the very beginning but decided to leave this review after recommending the bed frame to a friend recently. This bed frame is so easy to put together, sturdy and aesthetically pleasing. Our under-the-bed storage boxes fit under the 10″ option perfectly. We moved from one apartment to another about four months ago, and taking the frame apart and putting it back together was very easy, no parts damaged. It was an extremely low-budget move, no professional packing or moving services hired, and we did not pack the bed frame parts with any protective material. All parts survived the van ride, a few days in a storage unit, being moved into and out of elevators without a dent. The only regret is not getting it in king size!” —Anya DC
Price: $169.99+ (available in sizes twin–king)

An elevated steel bed frame if you want something that will allow your mattress to sit higher off the ground. Plus, though this frame is sturdy — it can support 1,500+ pounds — it’s also easy to move around, so you can change your bed’s direction whenever the mood strikes and it has plenty of storage space underneath.

Promising review: “Item is as exactly described. Very easy to put together, and it is very sturdy. You do not need the box spring (unless you like your bed almost four feet off the floor), and there is a good bit of room for storage under the bed, especially if you have a small bedroom and closet. Very pleased with the price and item.” —Krista
