Best Budget Frame for Foam Mattress
This foundation is being used for a Latex Foam Mattress. I tried two different foundations from amazon before this one. The first one was a foundation + box spring combo by Handy Living, but the springs sagged and didn't proved proper support for a foam mattress. The second one was a fold up steel wire grid frame, but the problem with that was that the wires were way too small and the base foam of the mattress started to sag through the wire grid, even though the grid was completely solid. Finally I decided to go with this frame.
When the frame was delivered, it was in a slim but very LONG box that looked like it was sitting in a dirty warehouse for a long time. This deterred me a bit, but I set it up anyways. It took about 45 minutes to setup completely, and by the time all the wood slats were in place, most of my concerns were gone. This is definitely a solid frame when put together. The wood slats feel just a little cheap, but altogether very solid. The thing that got my attention about this design was the fact that there isn't a long metal bar down the center of the frame like with most cheap foundations, something that I could always feel underneath the mattress and would cause me to roll one way or the other when laying in the middle. This wood slats on this foundation run the full length of the frame, giving you a very even feel across the whole mattress. The bottom of my mattress no longer sags through the openings since the slats give the proper support a foam mattress needs. Best of all, this frame doesn't make a single sound, something I've always struggled with other frames that made it nearly impossible to fall asleep. If you have a memory foam or latex mattress, GET THIS FRAME. no other frame design will give you the correct support.
One small complaint is that the outside legs of the foundation are on the very edge of the frame, making it very easy to stub your toe if you're not careful. Not worth taking a star off since that's how the design had to be, but definitely something to keep in mind. All in all, best frame I've used yet. Will update review if it doesn't hold out.
