Today, when it comes to what’s under the mattress, there are a few ways to go. You can put your mattress on a solid wood bed with slats, or a box spring, or a wood foundation, or a metal bed frame. Metal bed frames are made in NJ and are very thick and there is no noise or squeaking. Metal Bed Frames are just one way to go. The Amish build most of our solid wood bed frame, so you can be assured of the highest quality. They come in the standard 8” thick, or 3”. It all depends on how high you want to be off the ground, and how high your headboard is so you don’t take away from that. If you have a high headboard you may want an 8” foundation. If you just had a baby and want to be lower to the ground you might want a 3” foundation. If you are elderly, you want to be higher up off the ground so it’s easy to get in and out of bed. See what I mean? These wood foundations are usually built up on metal bed frames, so the mattress is off the floor 6-8 inches. Choose the best metal and wood bed frames from our huge collection.
