Hercules Folding Metal Bed Frame, 14" Platform Mattress Foundation, No Box Spring Needed, Queen

I read a lot of the reviews and had doubts when i first ordered it. But after a few weeks of use, I can say this is such a great deal for the price.It took all of about 5 minutes to assemble the bed and is easily done by one person. After assembly, it was easy to slide into place on my carpeted rug.There are 12 supports (6 on each half), and after my first night using the bed, I was comfortable on it and can switch positions without fear of it collapsing. I have seen some people complain about squeaking. If there are any noises when I toss and turn, it's from the mattress moving a bit on the frame, and NOT the bed itself.I thought when I saw the wire supports in the picture, that they looked flimsy and would probably bend as soon as I got in bed. I was so, so wrong. The "wires" are very sturdy and have not bent at all since I first started using the bed.The "slats" across, the metal beams that go from side to side, are just as sturdy. I'm about 280 pounds, and this thing holds me with no problem.The under bed storage space is nice, but the bracers that run from the corner legs to the beams can get in the way, if you try to slide a tall box underneath. Of course, the bed is not as heavy as you might think. You can always remove the mattress and just lift it up to access the storage more easily.As a bonus, you can always remove the screws in the middle and have yourself two twin sized bed, for guests that need a place to sleep. Just pop on an inflatable mattress, and you're set. No, the frame will NOT pop an air mattress, as there are no real sharp points n the frame.Overall, I am completely satisfies with my purchase of the bed, and would recommend it to anyone at this price.

Incredibly easy to set up. Very stable. I'm a big boy and a voracious lover. This thing is a heavy weight and stands up to all of the punishment that I can dole out. I've hammered this thing relentlessly several times a week for a couple months now and it isn't showing any signs of wearing down. When a man of with my aggressive prowess tests it out for an extended period of time, you can be assured you are purchasing a high quality item. I can't say enough about the ability of this frame to absorb punishment. We have a king size casper mattress on top of a tempurpedic base. The memory foam mattress absorbs the majority of the havoc that my partner and i produce, but the sheer brute force of our tidal wave of effervescent excitement would lay waste to a weaker structure. We bought this as a replacement for a traditional wooden setup that we had previously. That frame was destroyed as a direct result of my uncompromising approach to the performance of my required duties. If you are a man (or woman) that knows no restraint.... if you are a person of unbridled passion... If your exuberance has broken or damaged bedroom furnishings in the past... The Hercules Platform is for you!Update June 11, 2017: Well, it's been over a year and I still love the Hercules. I had a problem with my Achilles and my knee which resulted in an extended period of zero exercise. Unfortunately, my diet didn't change and I put on about 20 LB. Let me tell you something... Even with the extra weight, the Hercules still handles everything I throw at it. And believe me, I throw a lot at it, if you know what I mean. I keep expecting the frame to give in... but it isn't compromised in the least. We broke another headboard recently, but Hercules stayed true. Things got a little out out hand one night when a couple of friends joined us unexpectedly. I can't really explain exactly what happened in this space, but suffice it to say that the headboard punctured the sheet rock, snapped in half and left a nasty gash in the hard wood. Yet the Hercules still stands. Defiant and Strong. Never flinching no matter what abuse is heaped upon it. I will check back in another year and let you know if it's still holding up. We have kind of gotten into a new thing recently that is really going to test it's limits.

I am not one to write reviews, but I read a lot of the reviews for this bed frame and it helped make my decision to order it. I have had it for about 2 months now and no complaints. I have the king size frame with a sealy Cocoon mattress I'm a larger guy 300+ and my wife is a little on the fluffy side, LOL. I was worried about it supporting our weight and making noise. I have to say that I am VERY happy with this frame, it not only supports our weight, but the kids also come in and jump on the bed with us. it's sturdy, no squeaking noises AT ALL, no wobbling, and it was very easy to put together. One thing I did read was to make sure that all nuts were tightened which I did and I even used a wrench on the wing nuts to tighten them up. I would definitely order this bed frame again or suggest it to anybody especially if you're on the larger side. Don't be afraid of noises and durability it worked great for us. Get rid of that old squeaky, broken bent frame and Don't hesitate to order this one right away, you'll be happy with this frame, order it now and put it to use quickly. Oh and you can't beat the price of this, I would have paid 4X what I paid if I knew just how great this frame would be. Good luck and enjoy your new bed like I have.
