Full Size Metal Bed Frame with Headboard and Footboard, 12 Slats and 12 Inch Clearance, Black

A mattress sitting on a bare steel deck has almost nothing to grip. Over a few weeks it works its way toward the foot of the bed and the sheets come untucked with it.

This frame has a headboard at 32 inches and a footboard at 20, both bolted to the rails. The mattress is boxed in rather than balanced on top, which is also why the manufacturer can rate it for a mattress as thin as 4 inches.

The numbers to chalk on the floor

78 inches long by 55.5 inches wide. That is the frame, not the mattress. The mattress it takes is 54 by 75 inches, a Double in Canadian shops. The headboard reaches 32 inches from the floor and the footboard 20.

Thin mattress or thick, both work

The manufacturer's range is 4 to 12 inches of mattress thickness, which is unusually wide. A 4 inch foam mattress on a bare frame usually slides. Here the headboard and footboard sit against both ends of it and it does not.

Twelve slats and a T joint

The slats are steel, not wood, and the corner joints are T shaped rather than a single bolt through a bracket. Published capacity for this size is 660 lb. Extra legs run down the middle to stop the centre sinking.

A foot underneath

Twelve inches of clearance, published. That is enough for a suitcase on its side, deep bins or a robot vacuum. It is also what makes the floor under the bed reachable with a mop.

The published range starts at 4 inches, which most platform beds will not take without the mattress creeping.

Twelve inches of clearance across a Double is real storage, and the frame is only 78 by 55.5 inches on the floor.

What we stand behind

• The 78 by 55.5 inch frame size, the 32 inch headboard, the 20 inch footboard, the 12 inch clearance, the 660 lb capacity and the 4 to 12 inch mattress thickness range are the manufacturer's published figures.
• Slat spacing is not published. If you sleep on foam, check the gap your mattress warranty requires.
• A 32 inch headboard is low as headboards go. Measure it against a window sill or a radiator if the bed backs onto one.
• The manufacturer states the frame is noise free. That is their claim, not a test result.
• The mattress is not included.
