The 10 Best Queen Metal Bed Frames

You can skip the box spring with this Amazon Basics Platform (around $90), which features horizontal panels and rows of crossed wire to deliver plenty of support for your sleep system and for sleepers of up to 250 pounds per side. Plus, it provides about 13 inches of underbed storage.

The Zinus Compack (appx. $54) is a no-nonsense choice that should provide years of support for your mattress and box spring. Its nine legs are recessed, so you don't accidentally kick them when walking in your bedroom in the dark or when making the bed.

One of our sturdier choices, this Best Price Platform (about $163) can support up to 1,500 pounds and is a good choice for larger bodies. You can use it in place of a box spring, and it holds your sleep system 9 inches off the ground, making your bed easy to get into and out of.

For a touch of design along with utility, consider the Zinus Modern Studio (about $114), which features 10 horizontal wooden slats to provide plenty of support for all types of mattresses. While the frame is metal, it has plastic feet to protect your floors, and it is easy to assemble.

A simple piece that combines good looks with strength and durability, the Vecelo Reinforced (appx. $99) provides slats for support as well as a headboard and footboard. With eight legs touching the floor, this option can hold up to 400 pounds, and it comes with a 5-year warranty.

It doesn't get more basic than this Classic Brands Hercules (appx. $53), which can adjust to hold Twin, Twin XL, Full, Queen, King, and California King mattresses. It features seven support legs with casters that make it easy to move, and it is sturdy enough to last for decades.

This Olee Sleep T-3000 (about $105) encloses the mattress to hold it in place and, with 16.5 inches of clearance between the frame and the floor, it provides plenty of storage space. It is designed to be used without a box spring and can support up to 1,200 pounds.

Much more than just a frame, this DHP Tokyo (around $193) by Dorel Home Furnishings includes a brushed-bronze headboard and footboard and lends a modern look to any bedroom decor. And it's practical, too, with 17 horizontal metal slats to offer plenty of support for your sleep system.

While not truly old, the Tribecca Home Giselle (about $341) has an antique look and feel with seven spindles in the headboard and footboard. It is designed for use with a box spring, and the iron tube construction is durable once you get it put together.

With elegant European styling on its headboard and footboard, the GreenForest Vintage (about $120) adds a touch of class to any bedroom decor. It provides 12.5 inches of clearance for storage, and can eliminate your box spring because it comes with 16 horizontal slats for support.
