Anyone know where to buy a bed 'box' frame?

[Mckenzie]

Its kind of hard to describe but I am looking for a bed frame that is just a square box that holds the mattress and sits on the floor. It does not have a headboard and the ones I have seen are usually black. I have searched many places and they just seem to have normal beds with headboards.

They are pretty minimal in design but I am guessing are kind of expensive.

Has anyone else seen these things?

EDIT: I'm looking for something exactly like thishttp://www.platformbeds.com/img/categories/ls_zurich_lg.jpg

Nevermind...

I'd read what you write but you keep editing :poosie:

[Mckenzie]

^You have not read what I wrote lol..

And those things bring apart and squeak anyways.

[Canmorite]

No idea where to get one unfortunately. Don't you DARE ask for a deal though. Who do you think you are trying to take money away from a salesman?

[ercchry]

i have a buddy that is a carpenter, he is always looking for side projects. pm if interested and i will ask him

^Yeah I am going to pay retail for this one I think.

Check EQ3 they have alot of beds like that.

[Kloubek]

Thought you said the one you were looking for didn't have a headboard? :dunno:

Nice bed though. I think it *might* be called a "platform bed", judging by the pic.

[ExtraSlow]

Ikea sells a bed that is similar to that. I have it and I'm really happy with it. This style of bed is less susceptible to squeaks when engaging in bedtime exercises.

Well I guess I meant not a super intrusive headboard- that one is not bad. And yes I think you are correct...platform bed is what it is called.

And good job on the ikea finds- those are more like what I am looking for.

Yeah, but it's also hard to do some bedtime exercises with wide edges like that.

Hmmm....good points...lol...taken under consideration...

[ExtraSlow]

If you use a box spring under the mattress on the Mandal frame I posted, it's plenty high enough for some of the exercises.

Is the lip high enough to stop the mattress from moving around / off the bed?

just fyi, our frame is 1/3 of the width of that thing, and I've gotten bruises on my anterior shins (of course slippery hardwood doesn't help either)

My bed is exactly like that, and i ALWAYS bump my shins getting into bed. such a bitch. Also the corners are sharp as hell.

I was also concerned with that...here is a quote from a review of a sears bed.


This is a mid range platform bed. Make sure you wear shin pads when you are making the bed, or else keep plenty of bandages handy! I have damaged and cut my ankles and lower calf at least once a month. I think I am going to put tennis balls on the corners! It REALLY hurts when you bump the sharp edges at the bottom of the bed. They are EXACTLY ankle height and SHARP! A very poor design. But, now I have made my bed, and I have to sleep in it! Grrrrrr....look for safer products if you are considering this!

i have one in my basement, not black, it is the medium color, not really using it, it is from ikea.

it is the oak color

Go to the design district, on 11 Ave SE. Go to Urban Barn, Ikea, and the other stores in the area. It's all over the place.

[BlackArcher101]

These are more common beds than you think, usually called platform beds. However, most stores don't put them on the display floor and instead you need to look through their catalogs. Go to a few furniture websites and you'll notice more on there.

[AndrewMZ3]

They have these platform bedframes at a lot of stores. I picked mine up from Nordesign, but it has a headboard. I don't quite remember if there were any without headboards.

Sojourn and Revolve also have platform bedframes like this.

[Impreza]

You can find something that is pretty much EXACTLY like that from Ligne Roset, but it won't be cheap though.

[eb0i]

I have one almost exactly like the picture. I got it from Revolve Furnishings.

[sillysod]

Don't waste your $$$ on EQ3.... i bought crap from there and it is no different from IKEA.

IKEA is cheap, cheap stuff. EQ3 is expensive, cheap stuff.

Revolve is good but we waited an additional 4 month beyond the guaranteed delivery date of 6 months (so 10 months total) to get the wrong furniture. 16 months later got what we ordered and it was awsome.

Surprisingly the best service, delivery etc was a crappy sectional we bought from the basement for $1500 from UNited Furniture Whorehouse and some crap we got from Ashley Furniture.

[eb0i]

All my stuff I bought from Revolve was luckily in stock. However them not delivering during the weekends was a big pain in the ass to deal with. The quality of their furniture is top notch though. Way better than IKEA and EQ3 in my opinion.

[szw]

IMO this bed looks really outdated. By outdated I mean it was "modern" a few years ago and the design doesn't age well. FWIW I have a similar style and regret it because of that.

[in*10*se]

here are the two i looked at when i moved out.
they are both platform beds. platforms beds are eff'n expensive. i ended up settling for the malm... the extra 6 hundred really wasn't worth it.

Yeah I tried to chase one down at Sears and they said they only have it in the catologue...kinda hard to guage quality when you see it on a web page I guess.

Yeah that Ikea one I would consider as it is small and reasonably priced.


I guess the only reason I am looking for this style of bed is that my room is small and most bed with headboards and that get to be pretty big once they are setup.

[theken]

do you want to buy my malm from ikea for a better price? or do u want dark

[Mckenzie]

^ I sent you a PM about the bed.

[theken]

never got a pm
