Hello everyone! I’ve read lots of great posts here about mattress foundations and have found plenty of recommendations, so I’m covered there. What I’m looking for is a good bed frame with adequate center support to place the foundation on top of.
I’ve looked at options like Big Fig’s Bed Frame, Knickerbocker’s emBrace, and some others.
When using a foundation, most of which have slats running side to side, my intuition is that a frame with a center beam running head to toe is better than a center beam running side to side. However, it seems like most of these frames, like the one from Big Fig, don’t have a leg supporting the middle of the center beam. On the other hand, frames like the Knickerbocker emBrace, where the beam runs side to side, do have a leg in the center. The best option seems like a frame that has a center beam running head to toe with a leg supporting the middle of that beam, but I can’t find many options like that.
Am I concerned about something that doesn’t actually matter, and either of these frames would be sufficient when used with a good foundation? Both have weight limits that far exceed anything I’d ever need, but I’ve seen lots of recommendations to get a frame with a center leg, so the lack of one on frames with a head to toe center beam surprises me. I’m also open to any bed frame recommendations, including ones with slats that don’t require a foundation, as long as the slats provide adequate support!
