Full Size Platform Bed Frame with Button Tufted Headboard

About this piece

A full frame, sized for a 54 x 75 in mattress.

Underneath the finish it is built from steel frame, with wooden slats and 8 contact points, rated to 800 lb. For storage there are 8 in of clearance underneath.

Details worth knowing: the slat bearings are damped, which is where bed noise comes from and no box spring is needed.

On any frame the figures that decide how it lives are the same three: how far apart the slats sit, how much the frame carries in total, and how much support runs down the centre line rather than only at the corners.

Every bed page here states the three numbers that decide how a frame lives: slat spacing, total weight capacity and the clearance under the frame. Slat spacing matters most, because a mattress warranty usually requires slats no more than about three inches apart, and a frame that fails that quietly voids the mattress rather than the frame. The rest of the room is on bedroom, and how to choose a size is worked through in The Bed Frame Guide: Slats, Storage and Why Beds Squeak.

The same specification table appears on every page of iPormis bed frames, which is the point of publishing it: two models are only comparable when the same figures are given for both.
