Recommendation for Queen Metal Bed Frame?

14 years ago

Does anyone have a recommendation for a Queen sized metal bed frame?

I am looking to replace my antique bed with a DIY upholstered headboard with a metal frame. We already have the mattress and box spring. I plan to make the headboard once I am sure the bed frame will work for us.

So far my "ideal" frame would be able to attach a headboard, have gliders instead of wheels, and be at least 7 - 7 1/2 inches off the ground. We need it to be heavy duty and sturdy.

Also, after coming from an old solid bed in which the "feet" are in the four corners of the bed, I need a frame that will have the location of the center feet for the Queen to be either in the center of the bed or recessed along the sides of the bed. I am vey concerned about hitting my toes at the mid-section on the bed!

I would appreciate any advice you can give. The mattress stores in my area carry just a basic frame with wheels that just won't work.

TIA, Chris

Chris, the rollers usually come out and you don't have to use them. There are replacement inserts for the legs that can be used or risers. The risers now come in a number of options and designs.

Have you thought of a wood platform bed? Many are made high for drawers underneath.

Take a look at Amazon, 100s of options. At least give you and idea of what is wanted. Get the name of the item and find where their dealers are to see in person.

Chris,

I have gotten this bedframe several times and won't have any other. It is very well made, sturdy/heavy duty, has no ends sticking out to hit your legs on and has no bolts. It snaps together and has holes in the front to attach a headboard. I have the rollers on mine, but you can get it with glides, also.

It is a Legett & Platt and the model number you want for a queen is 761G (the g is for glides, would have an r if you want rollers) I don't know where you live, but you should be able to google and find a store near you that sells it or you can get it online. You can also google the Legett & Platt headquarters and they can tell you where to buy in your area. Hope that helps!
