Queen Metal Platform Bed Frame with Victorian Headboard and Footboard, 12.5 Inch Under-Bed Storage, Black

On most metal beds the sound is not the mattress. It is a loose slat shifting on the rail, or the centre bar rubbing where two pieces of steel meet under load.

The slats snap into their sockets instead of resting loose, the centre bar carries a foam mute pad where the deck bears on it, and every foot has a non-slip pad so the frame does not walk on the floor.

Outer size against mattress size

Inside the rails it is 80 by 60 inches, which is exactly a Canadian Queen. Outside, with the headboard and footboard posts, it is 82.5 by 60.5. The outer figure is the one that has to clear your walls and your door swing.

How thick a mattress should be

The manufacturer recommends a mattress between 8 and 12 inches thick. Thinner than 8 and you feel the slats through it. Thicker than 12 and the 42 inch headboard starts to disappear behind the pillows.

Twelve slats on nine legs

Nine legs under a Queen, not four. Three of them run down the centre bar, which is where a Queen deck would otherwise flex. Published load capacity for this size is 1100 lb.

The parts that stop the squeak

Slats snap into place rather than resting loose, a foam padded mute bar runs under the centre, and each foot has a non-slip pad. Metal beds squeak where metal touches metal, and all three of those details are aimed at exactly that.

The published figure for the Queen size.

Snap lock fitting, no box spring needed.

Including a centre row under the middle bar.

Under-bed space for suitcases, shoes and boxes.

Ships from a Canadian warehouse. Free shipping on orders over $150. Some remote areas, PO boxes and surcharge regions may be excluded or cost extra.

Return within 14 days of purchase, unused, in original condition and packaging.

Covered directly by the manufacturer under their warranty terms for material and manufacturing defects.

Turned spindles and rounded corners suit a house with trim and picture rails more than a plain slab headboard does.

12.5 inches across an 80 by 60 inch footprint is a lot of hidden space, and the open sides let you reach it.

What we stand behind

• The 82.5 by 60.5 inch outer size, the 80 by 60 inch inner size, the 42 inch headboard, the 26 inch footboard, the 12.5 inch clearance and the 1100 lb Queen capacity are the manufacturer's published figures.
• The written record quotes capacity as 660 lb or 1100 lb across the size range and leg counts of 6, 9, 9 and 12. The Queen figures, 1100 lb on 9 legs, are the ones published here.
• Slat spacing is not published. Check the gap your mattress warranty asks for.
• A 42 inch headboard will cover a low window sill. Measure from your floor to the sill before ordering.
• The mattress is not included.
