Quick Answers
Do I need a boxspring? Probably not. Most modern mattresses work on platforms or slatted bases. Slats should be 3 inches apart or less. Check your warranty requirements.
Platform or boxspring? Platforms are lower and more modern-looking. Boxsprings add height and a bit of bounce. Either works - comes down to the look you want.
Frame for a heavy mattress? Get steel with center support. Check the weight limits - they're often listed. Solid wood works too, but make sure the construction is sturdy.

How much weight can a metal bed frame double support?
Most quality metal double bed frames can support between 500-700 pounds, including the weight of your mattress and sleepers. Frames with center support bars and multiple legs typically offer higher weight capacities.
Are metal bed frames noisy?
Well-constructed metal bed frame double beds should not be noisy. If your frame develops squeaks over time, check that all connections are tight and consider adding washers between metal components. Many of our frames feature noise-dampening features like padded tape on contact points.
What's the difference between a double and queen metal bed frame?
A metal double bed base accommodates a mattress measuring 54 x 75 inches, while a queen frame fits a mattress that's 60 x 80 inches.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a mattress typically last?
Most quality mattresses last 7-10 years with proper care. Signs to replace include visible sagging over 1 inch, waking with pain, or sleeping better in hotels. Rotating your mattress regularly and using a protector extends its lifespan.
What firmness level is best for most people?
Medium-firm (around 6 on a 10-point scale) suits most sleepers and provides good spinal support. However, individual preference matters - side sleepers often prefer softer, while stomach sleepers need firmer. Try before you buy when possible.
Do I need a boxspring with a new mattress?
Most modern mattresses work fine without a traditional boxspring. Platform beds, slatted foundations (slats 3 inches apart or less), and adjustable bases all work well. Check your mattress warranty requirements.
