ZINUS 46 cm SmartBase Heavy Duty Mattress Foundation | Metal Platform Bed Frame | Easy Assembly | Under Bed Storage | King | Black

This is brilliant, and absolutely genius. It was delivered ridiculously quickly, was comfortable and storage is novel and works so well.

I bought this after 13 weeks of being messed around by a certain furniture store that will remain nameless, waiting for a new wooden bed frame to be delivered. The nameless shop didn’t know what they were doing, when it would be delivered or where the frame even was. The old frame we were using was giving me mega back ache, and so we NEEDED a new frame.

Well after 13 weeks of waiting, and after many an internal tantrum, I decided to buy a new bed whilst we waited for the dang bed order.

Anyway, after ordering this frame at 6PM, THE NEXT DAY it arrived. The videos make it look simple to put together. Let me tell you, that video is complicated compared to how easy it was to assemble. It was SUPER straight forward.
The first night sleep, I could barely believe how well I slept. Yes, weeks of being kept awake and intermittent sleeping probably helped, but I slept like the dearly departed and woke up fresher than daisies.

Anyway, a few weeks later and the new bed has finally arrived. No doubt they had to grow the tree it was made from, but it’s here. Fortunately packing this frame away took less than 5 minutes. I didn’t even need help, although it does recommend a buddy give you a hand.

It stores away easily and is always available it I need a new frame, or if a family member does. Genuinely one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. 5 stars isn’t enough.

If you’re in the fence, buy this bed frame. Just do it.

Super fast delivery and excellent quality & value for money It’s in constant use but would be great for a guest bed as it folds in half for easy storage

Easy to assemble one person can do it you don’t even need instructions every bed I got all ways makes noise.

I will use it a bit longer and then I will let you know how it is.

Very easy to set up and seems sturdy enough, just need my mattress to arrive to test it properly.

Background: a hefty woman who has broken 3 soft and hard wood beds in the past 5 years. This was so easy to unpack. Putting together was minimal and didn’t stress my arthritic hands on the butterfly bolts. I ‘stressed it’ before putting my mattress on as I didn’t want another collapse. Coz you know, there is el cheapo metal with nasty snags and there is reinforced welding with hard metal (how can you tell in a photo?). It appears to be of a very strong build and has taken my very heavy mattress and body and flying/jumping cat without apparent movement, or squeak. I’m really impressed and hope to come back in a year, etc, to confirm its stood the test of time. It’s not pretty; but, in order to get something this strong in ‘pretty’ is beyond my finances; so, I am extremely happy with this purchase and deciding function first.

Excellent bed base, extremely well built and strong, also very easy to put together.
I recommend these bed bases to everyone, I’ve now bought two.

This is probably the best thing that i have ever purchased. So easy to assemble – fold out the two halves, pull legs down and secure with support bars, screw two halves together. You can do it all by yourself in half an hour.

No noise like you usually get with metal beds, room underneath for storage, easy to take down if you want to move.

Supports my rubbish mattress well enough to make sleep much better.

So easy to put together, I could not believe the amount of storage my daughter could fit underneath, if underbed storage is what you need I cannot recommend this bed frame enough!! Such an amazing price for a very sturdy bed base and I have recommend it to alot of my friends and family.

What’s there no to like I’ve bought 3 bed frames and this is the best out of all of them kids broke the divan and the low bed was a disaster from day one your bed frame kids bounce on it and eny fab sleep too and sturdy but most of all easy to put up and at a steal of a price too so thank you

Having moved into a property with a wooden slats king size bed, I found it to be unsuitable for my needs. After months of worrying about crashing through the slats anytime I moved (which did happen a couple times!), I decided it was time to purchase something much more supportive.

I was concerned about getting a new bed, simply because I assumed (wrongly) that I would need to spend hundreds of pounds to secure a genuinely sturdy and strong bed. Being 24 stone (although gradually losing weight), it was important to me that I didn’t just buy another basic wooden slat bed.

After searching around for beds designed to take the weight of a man my size, I stumbled upon this one. 66 seemed to be unbelievable for a king size bed, although it is only made of metal and there isn’t too much too it. After reading many reviews about stuffiness, weights of the sleeper, and watching several YouTube videos about them, I decided to purchase the king size version of this bed.

It took a little while to be dispatched, despite showing as in stock, but given Covid is going on I wasn’t too bothered. When it did arrive, I quickly went to work putting it together. Assembly is so easy! It’s a few wing nut screws, and about 20 minutes. I easily managed this on my own. The bed is very light and easy to move around.

After building it, I popped the mattress on and gave it a try. Instantly I found it to be higher off the ground than my previous bed, which was an added bonus! Now I can get in and out of bed much easier. I laid down, and there was no noise, no issues or worries about falling through anything. It is an amazing bed!

I’ve now slept on it for nearly a week and I’m so happy with my purchase. I obviously can’t yet comment on durability and life of the bed, but if anything changes I will update the review to reflect it. For now, though, I am extremely happy and expect this bed to last me many years.

Our old bed base broke so i needed something quick untill I can save up for a decent bed. This is absolutely amazing! My husband managed to built it by himself in about 20 minutes. It is very sturdy. I highly recommend this especially if your on plus size. The only thing is that the mattress does slide down occasionally as it is only stuck down with a adhesive tape. I have now decided to get a headboard for it and keep it as it is very sturdy, no movement, doesn’t squeak. Highly recommended

My experience: this base is strong, good quality, perfect to place inside another frame (because the legs are inset) and reaaalllly easy to put together. The reviews saying that they had trouble with it…well I’m just concerned about their life skills. It takes about 5 minutes, 10 minutes max if you are having a tiny bit of trouble fitting the hook-things in place. See? I say hook-things, so I can’t be that smart, and I figured it out. Here you go: Unfold the frames (there are 2 and there is only one way to do this, you got this). Pull down the legs. Pull down hook-things and fit them in place. There are 2 holes in each frame. Line up the holes. Stick the screws (there are only 2) into the holes and secure with the wingnuts. No tools needed! Now throw a mattress on it and go to bed. The end.

Brilliant bed base, needed something firmer for my back, this works for me.
Fully recommend it.

Pleasantly surprised by this. Took me just a few minutes to put up on my own. It comes apart just as easily if you are using it only when needed, as I am. Reasonably easy to store and not too heavy to carry if you move it in 2 pieces. It looks ok – a black metal industrial look which is classier than the price tag might suggest.

I’ve tested it by sleeping a night on it – I used a roll-up mattress from the old futon it replaced together with a thick memory foam topper and I can only say that it was perfectly comfortable. Won’t hesitate to let guests use it if Cov19 sods off and makes overnight guests a possibility again!

For the price, this is excellent value.

I bought this bed while I was entering my freshman year of College. I went to a University that is notorious for having rather easy birds. Throughout multiple endeavors with said birds, I can ensure you that this bed frame is made with quality. It is advertised as being made out of steel but I would not be the least bit surprised to find out that it is in fact forged from a solid block of titanium. Usually a bed will last me 2 years at best given my incredible thrustworthy nature. This bed has been around for four years. One of those years was my senior year so as you know, the frame was subjected to long nights of stress, as were the birds that accompanied me throughout those nights. Amazon buyers… I leave you with this. A quality bed frame. Tested in the field. Vanilla users have nothing to worry about, nor do our more eclectic bed frame testers. Stay safe and happy bed frame testing. May your bed frame last longer than you.

Omg… Amazing….. Very easy to assemble.. Took 10 mins.

Very sturdy and high as it’s easier for me to get out of bed especially with my bad back.

Bought it for spare guest room, not pretty but presentable enough, lots of storage space underneath and seems very sturdy. Not bad for 50 quid!

Bought this as our brand new 700 bed frame was delivered damaged. Bought this to tie us over. After getting a refund on our original bed we are wondering whether or not to replace it as this frame does the job so well. No wobble, no creaking. Set it up in minutes. Don’t think, just buy.

This is a sturdy bed base, that comes cleverly packaged and needing only minimal fixing together. I did it all by myself. Whoever designed this, designed it with the customer in mind. it is strong and supportive and a really good price. I strongly recommend this product.

hese are fantastic room under the bed as I have a small flat is fantastic dont no why I did not buy them before sturdy well made solid frame bought for my daughter and her son as she has small flat cant say enough about theses space saving bed frames and not noise from the frame when moving about in bed would recommend

**3-Year Update: the frame is still going strong! I recently had to re-tighten some of the nuts as it started to squeak with every little movement, but other than that it has held up beautifully. I think we will definitely be buying the queen size when it’s time to up our mattress size.**

My wife and I bought one of these for our apartment to save some money until we eventually buy a house and a “real” bed set. I was very skeptical of getting a metal frame this inexpensive but decided to take a chance. Boy am I glad we did!

The package it came in was very thin because the frame is two separate halves that have folding legs. Setup was easy and only took 20-30 minutes, if that.

The frame itself is very sturdy and the metal and leg joints are solidly built, which was pleasant to see. When it’s all put together and a mattress on top it is VERY sturdy. No squeaking, very little shaking, and holds up very well during “activities.” It’s been really nice to have, and I foresee us using it for at least a few years until we upgrade to a larger mattress size!

The added benefit of the storage space under the bed (with the 18″ frame) is great, it gives us a convenient place to store luggage and other things.

We are also using the Zinus Upholstered Modern Classic headboard and Zinus headboard brackets, which are also very solid and nice to have. 10/10!

Was so pleased to see that my storage bins fit underneath. They’re 16 7/8″, and I saw other reviews saying that their bins were 16 5/8″ and barely fit. Well mine fit! I would say they’re the absolute tallest that would fit though, there’s not even enough room to slide a pencil in between the frame and the lid. But they fit! Six of them in total with a bunch of “dead space” in the middle because of the middle legs. But it’s okay, because my cat likes laying under the bed anyway, and I don’t want to crowd her out entirely.

Only had it a few days so far, but it seems sturdy. No squeaking or noise when I flop into bed.

Assembly was a bit fidgety. The support bars for the four outer legs were a bit tricky to rotate onto the pegs, but I guess that makes it more secure? They just finger tighten on with a washer and a wing nut. The two long bolts to attach the two half of the bed together have a wing nut too, but the other side of the screw has an allen head, and they didn’t include an allen wrench. Luckily I had one, and I’m sure most people do, but that would have been nice to include in the box or at least print on the instructions that you’d need one.

All in all, I’m loving all the extra storage space this provides me in my tiny studio apartment and love how it quickly and easily assembles or breaks down with just one person to make moving easy.

As soon as I saw that an 18″ high bed frame was available, allowing storage of full sized plastic totes beneath, I decided I needed this. I live in a 700 sq’ foot space without a storage locker and need every square inch to be well utilized.
– It came in 2 pieces- perhaps you could use them for 2 separate single beds? I could measure if anyone is wondering.

Pros:
– It came packed in a box that was manageable for me, as a woman, to carry up to my condo.
– Instructions were very clear
– The frame was very easy to assemble.
– Frame is sturdy and my mattress is not sliding around on top of it
– There is a full 17″ clearance below the frame which allows the majority of plastic totes to fit comfortably- even larger ones.
– I have a regular ol’ foam mattress and when I sit on my assembled bed now, my feet dangle (I’m 5’9″ so this is a novelty for me).
– I have space to store 8 large Rubbermaid style totes beneath it!

Cons:
– It was out of stock for a long time which is a bit annoying. I tried to talk to the folks on the Zinus US website which has online customer service chat but the chat box sat idle on the days I tried it and nobody answered.
-Though it has a 5 year warranty, if there is an issue that requires repair or review by the manufacturer, the customer has to pay shipping charges (per the warranty doc, pic attached). I can only imagine how expensive it would be to ship a large box containing a bed frame via Canada Post.
– Ordered on a Weds, arrived following Tues, despite being Prime (it came from the US). Amazon warned me about this at the time of purchase but I always find it annoying when Prime items take longer than 2 days (especially since I live in a major urban center where mail comes first before being shipped out around the country.)

I don’t normally review items on Amazon, but I felt the need to review this one. I bought this 2 months ago and I absolutely love it. I’ve been sleeping on an old daybed frame for the last 22 years and it was well past time for an upgrade.
I was used to all the storage I had under my 14in daybed, but I wanted something a little higher to fit taller storage bins.
I was originally going to mark this as 4 stars, because the the middle support bars prevent me from fitting 3 bins from head to foot, instead, I could only fit 2 and then there was dead space. I have a really tiny living space, so I need to be able to utilize all the space under my bed. So then I began to search for bins that would actually fit 4 from head to foot side by side, and luck was on my side. The Ikea Samla bins ([…]) fit perfectly side by side, so you can actually fit 8 bins under the bed with almost no unused space. They just squeak under the bed frame height.
The frame was also incredibly easy to put together by just one person (though the packaging is a bit heavy), it’s sturdy, and it’s so freaking quiet, I can’t believe it (my old daybed would squeak if I breathed). I thoroughly recommend this bed.
I know that it’s very difficult to buy things on the internet because everyone wants to voice their opinion, but what actually pushed me to buy this was not just all the amazing reviews, but it turns out a friend of mine bought this same exact bed frame a couple of years ago and she loves it, too.
The only criticism I have of this bed is that if you’re one person and you like to sleep in the middle of the bed, you will feel the beams in the middle. It might be a little uncomfortable at first, but it doesn’t bother me.

I love this bed frame. After 25 years I decided to get rid of “The Beast” — my old mahogany frame that took up the entire room and could not be moved by man or beast. When I got ready to tackle the task of putting this Zinus frame together I prepared for half a day’s work. BUT WAS I WRONG. Remove it from the box – Lay it out, pull out the legs, tighten the wing nuts and in less than 20 minutes I had the mattress back on and the bed made! I couldn’t believe it. I’m 72 and did it myself with no tool (or tears). It’s kind of what Ikea wishes it was.

I like the extended height because I live in a very small apartment in a historic section of town. Storage is at a premium. Under this bed you can put at least 8 of those large capacity plastic bins. You don’t need the cumbersome box springs either; just a mattress will do. I actually have the box springs on mine as I have a set of antique bed steps and have always wanted a chance to use them (makes me feel like Gloria Swanson in her hey-day).

I like everything about this bed frame, from the ease of assembly, to the solid and quit format, to the good looks, to the reasonable price point. This is the frame I’m going to recommend to everyone from now on.
