Promising review: "Best bed ever! The metal frame is great quality and engineered for easy install but commercial quality. No squeaky bed frame here. I put it all together by myself.

Promising review: "We bought the Mason bed sight unseen in person because our store didn't carry it. The bed is absolutely beautiful. The color, as others have commented on, is more black than brown, which we love. This finish is very smooth. The bed is very sturdy and doesn't shake or shimmy as other metal beds can sometimes do. I would recommend. Also, the delivery persons were wonderful. On time, did a great job of setting the bed up, courteous." —yoginimom

Promising review: "I give Zinus an A++ for this platform bed frame! The instructions that came with this were easy to follow. They had every metal piece labeled along with pictures to make sure it's done correctly. They also give you ALL the tools and extra screws, which by the way were also labeled. This is definitely the best made platform bed frame and instructions that I've ever seen! I bought the Zinus metal platform bed frame because the wooden frame that came with my bed didn't last at all, my weight was too much for it. My mattress doesn't sink anymore and I'm just so happy I bought this Zinus! I also love the height of this bed because now I can vacuum easily underneath it and I can store my containers." —M G

Promising review: "This headboard and frame is a winner. The design is striking but sufficiently neutral that it fits with the rest of my bedroom furniture and the frame is immovable, even for a big dude like me. Also, fairly easy to assemble and, if you're so inclined, you can hide secret stuff in the back of the headboard." —Warren H.

Promising review: "I have been eyeing this bed frame for over a year now and finally pulled the trigger... this frame was much nicer in person then I expected. It looks like a showpiece. It went together in minutes! One of the first things I did was walk around the frame just like I saw in the pictures and boy this thing is rock solid. There are no squeaks and noises with the frame and my mattress almost feels more comfortable on it. Not sure if thats a mental thing or it's just better. Anyways if you are still trying to decide if you want this frame let me make it simple for you. BUY IT!!!" —Verified Buyer

Promising review: "The Zinus bed frame is awesome. No rails or slats or headboards to wrestle with or find a screwdriver and try to line it all up. NO —literally unfold it, twirl some wing nuts, and go to sleep. My teen put it together and had it complete and the mattress on it in 12 minutes. When they move their rooms around, they fold the frame up, vacuum the floor, and set the beds up again. There is 14" clearance underneath and they store a TON of crap under there. The frame itself holds 750 pounds so they are standing up to a lot of teen boy roughhousing. I could not be happier with these frames and highly recommend them and the entire Zinus product line." —Kindle Customer
Get it from Amazon for $74.70+ (available in three heights and two colors; also available in Narrow Twin for $65+, and also Heavy Duty versions).

Promising review: "I just received my Floyd Platform Bed the other day and I'm absolutely loving it. Let's just run down through all the amazing attributes: (1) Amazing build quality, (2) Super easy to set up, (3) Fantastic design and looks great in my room. You really can't get much better than this. Seriously. Aside from the bed itself, I can't speak any higher about Floyd's customer service team. They were always super quick to respond to my questions. On top of that, they were extremely friendly and kind. It definitely helped make the buying decision that much easier for me. I would 100% recommend this to anyone potentially looking to purchase this bed. It's truly awesome." —Ryan L.

Promising review: "This bed frame was such a great purchase. I bought a wall-mounted headboard and so I needed a bed frame to go with it. I was looking at West Elm, Pottery Barn, etc. and didn't feel that I really needed to spend 600ish on a simple bed frame. I decided to try this one and am so happy I did. It was easy to assemble (I did it by myself and it didn't take very long) and it seems very sturdy. I highly recommend this bed frame!" —the blonde party

Promising review: "I am definitely happy with this purchase. The base works like it's supposed to and I can use it anyway I want! Great for nights in watching movies or just relaxing after work but not wanting to fall asleep for the night. The titled angles adjust in a variety of ways so I can choose how high or low I want it. The remote control makes it easy to use and wonderful to put back for sleeping. Delivery workers even assembled it for me on arrival and the finished product is quality! It even raises the bed enough to have storage room underneath. I love this base!! Thank you Mattress Firm for a great deal and product." —NatDubz
