To put on the cover, stand it up on its side
The cover is tricky but it’s easy to put on if you stand up the entire thing on its side and put the cover on top. (Get someone to help you hold it.) Start zipping it up and then gently put the whole thing on the floor to finish zipping it up. Make sure the zipper is facing up, not towards the floor.This box spring seems well made, was relatively easy to assemble. Instructions were clear and had pictures. Hopefully this box spring will last a long time.

Who knew that a box spring could make such a difference…
but it does! We took this box spring to the “cottage” to put in our small camper trailer. It was very well packaged, so it was perfect to transport for the 6hr drive. It was very easy to assemble and it came with great tools to get the job done quickly and easily. I did it by myself with no issues — I did need help to put the cover on, which was somewhat of a shame, to cover such high quality and perfectly smooth finish, but the cover itself is wonderful. I was actually surprised at how nice the box spring is. The first night we slept on it, we couldn’t believe how comfortable it was! It was like having a new bed. Other than the trailer, I have always had a box spring and I never thought much about it, but putting this box spring under our mattress was incredible. We slept like a dream every night, and with all of the physical labour we do at the cottage, it was so wonderful to sink into that bed every night. We love it and it made our little trailer feel like a home.I highly recommend this box spring, and should I need one for my regular home, I would definitely purchase from this company again. Absolutely love it!

A little challenging, but seems solid
Itâs cheap pine wood. But easy to assemble – all the spots drilled correctly and only takes 8 screws and bolts (I believe). As others had said, it is difficult to get the cover on. Taken from what others said in reviews, if it wasnât going to zip up easily, I took it off and tried to turn it. I bought a king size, so it wasnât easy to keep track of all the fabric and I must have messed up somewhere cause it took me 3 turns to get it right. Meanwhile I was trying to turn my king size box in a small room over top of my bed frame (wouldnât have gotten it through the doorway if I built it before bringing it in). Needless to say it wasnât fun. The slats are secured to the box with Velcro but they keep falling out when we were trying to get the cover on. In my particular situation, 2 people were not enough. it was difficult and we almost gave up putting on the cover. It once on, it was tight and not saggy. Iâve been sleeping on it for a few months now. Never noticed noise or breakage. So though I wondered about the cheap pine, so far itâs perfect for what I wanted (that is, until I move and have to physically take it apart to get it through the door and hallway and rebuild it – such is life I guess!).

Easy and Convenient
I am so happy I bought this! I had been dealing with a worn out squeaking box spring for a year and I would wake up just by adjusting in my sleep. I bought this as I live in an apartment and needed something I could move alone. It took no time to put together I read about the issues with the clover not fitting so I made sure to lay it out before I put it on, to make sure I had it the right way. The zipper was a bit tough on the corners but otherwise went on perfectly and added to the sturdiness.In terms of value for money there is really not difference, actually this cost more then most box springs from mattress stores. The value was in the fact that I donât have a truck or someone to help me get one of those home and this was delivers to my door.This is the fifth product from Zinus that I have bought and I have been happy with all the others. They are definitely my go to brand when I am looking for easy and Convenient.

Sturdy
Have had the box spring for two weeks and it has made a huge difference in terms of the bed responds to our movements where before having the box spring, we sank in a lot. However, the bed feels much more supportive and responsive. The box spring is really easy to assemble and it is solid, much better than IKEA products. The low profile, 4″ is just what we needed and it is hard to find. The price is higher than most low profile box spring out there – but for us we had no choice but to get his one, since it is not easy to find one that is made here for Canadians by Canadians.

Easy to assemble
Easy to put together. Well built, sturdy & lightweight. My old box spring couldnât fit into the elevator of my building. This is easy to take apart the next time I move. Cover is a great addition. Tight &. Will require 2 or more people to zip up but it is tight on the frame.

Very well made and easy to assemble
I was so impressed with this product! The clever design made assembly straightforward and easy to do. The only challenge was putting on the cover. That was solved by having three people put it on.

Not strong enough
Bought a king size. Was one piece rather than the standard 2 piece for a king which I thought may create more stability. Was very easy to assemble. all seemed fine until our new mattress began to sag in the middle. Thought it was a mattress issue and did a warranty claim on the mattress. But upon removing the mattress, discovered the wooden framework of the box spring had broken. There was no support which damaged the mattress.I have asked for a refund which has yet to be determined or resolved.

We got this Zinus 8″ frame to support the layered alternative to a conventional mattress we got for our 1940s twin bed. Our layered alternative is a new 4″ traditional (all cotton) futon topped with two pieces of foam (1″ high density, 2″ memory) and a thick cotton mattress pad.The mattress ended up higher off the floor than we expected (a short person’s feet sort of dangle). Even with frequent turning, if this futon is used regularly it’ll compact some, so the 8″ will work alright. But if we add another bed like this, we will probably get the lower profile 4″ frame.Delivered in about a week, the frame was well packaged and not as heavy as we feared. A middle aged woman carried it in easily. It came with instructional diagrams (no text, so it’s universal, language wise) â not that we needed them. The assembly steps are obvious. It went together quickly and easily.The frame’s wood is straight, clean, and smooth with no obvious flaws. Presumably the original plan was for buyers to attach the four support pieces to each other using the included screws. Instead, two of the corners came pre-connected with hinges. Though this made assembly a wee bit faster, we would have preferred the screw method because the (low end, sort of flimsy feeling) hinges are on the loose side.Truthfully, this is probably irrelevant because once in place, the frame isn’t going anywhere. One note of caution though: make sure to support the hinged pieces along their full length so that one (probably the short side) doesn’t flop down and stress the hinge. Otherwise the hinge could twist or break and you’ll be drilling your own hole and reaching for one of the extra screws that is included.The slats, for the twin size anyway, come in two sections. The slats in each section are connected together with a flexible fabric tape (if I’m remembering right). Once the sections are unfurled, small pieces of Velcro on the bottom attach to corresponding Velcro pieces on the top the frame itself (the sides pieces that are now connected). The slat sections went into place easily (with only minor effort required to match up the Velcro) and seem perfectly sturdy.Instead of installing the cover, we opted to “dress” the frame with a spare fitted sheet made of microfleece for now. We thought the pressed (not woven) fabric/papery material that forms the cover’s sides (similar to what most reusable, biodegradable shopping bags are made of) might prove too tempting for our cats’ claws.Now we wonder not only if the wood itself might be even MORE tempting, but also if the cats may decide to climb up through the frame’s openings and perch tree-limb style on the bed’s original slats, which we left in place (probably unnecessarily, as it turns out). This likely won’t hurt the cats OR the frame, but it could present a problem on vet visiting day!So, the assembled box frame is sturdy and fits perfectly where the bed’s slats normally go. Guests have reported sleeping comfortably on it, and test naps have been successful.Even though this product had ZERO Amazon feedback when we ordered it, we chose to go with the Zinus version instead of the other â heavily reviewed â manufacturer’s version because it cost a little less and looked like it was made at LEAST as well. And we like supporting new vendors if we can.We highly recommend this to anyone who, like us, has opted out of expensive, often unsatisfactory mattress/box spring sets.
A Constant Reader –
This was exactly as described in the listing. I have the queen-size, 4 in. There have been questions about the number of slats, the space between slats, the method of fastening of the slats, and whether there is a center lengthwise support. I don’t recall for sure, but I’m going to say there are 12-13 slats forming the top surface with 2.5 – 3 inches between them. They support a memory foam mattress well, and with the cover on the foundation, there is no sag of the foam between the slats at all. I also will support a conventional mattress well. As mentioned in some reviews, the assembly instructions consists of 4 pictures with NO text whatsoever. That is probably more than necessary, as the assembly is pretty obvious; but it would have been nice to have some markings on the pieces or notes in the instructions to provide reassurance that it is being done correctly. Yes, the cover is EXTREMELY tight and difficult for one person to get it pulled into position to zip it easily, but it can be done. Since it comes disassembled, it can be maneuvered up stairs and around corners easily; but WARNING if that is your primary reason for choosing this, the cover comes with a notice on it that it cannot be removed, and that may be true. I didn’t try to take it off after I finally got it completely zipped, but that would be necessary if your intention was to disassemble it to move it out in the future. Back to the slats – they come with two sets of half the total fastened on to another by a heavy Velcro tape. One set has a small hole drilled on each end of one slat to fit into a dowel that is in place on the side rails. Then the Velcro hooks onto a matching strip that is fastened to the top of the side rails. This is all the fastening there is for the slats (no screws, etc.), but it secures them sufficiently once the cover is in place. There were questions about noisiness – the foundation once assembled produces no noise and is strong enough to support a couple of 200 lb adults with no concerns. On our bed, this foundation is resting on 4 normal bed slats (that each have a center floor support leg) that are on a ledge of the bed side rails. There is some noise getting into or out of the bed, but not much; and this would be true of any foundation or box spring. Yes, on the queen-size there is a center lengthwise rail that provides support for the middle of the slats so there is no center of the bed sagging even with a total foam mattress. Others have mentioned their surprise at the quality of the supplied Allen wrench and small ratchet. Yes, they are good quality and definitely up to the assembly task. The 2 spare assembly bolts provided were reassuring. I hope this helps you decide. I’m pleased with mine.

Shipped in a small box, very easy to put together, perfect size for my low profile bedâ¦

Assembly wasn’t too bad! Put it two half’s together with supporting beams in the center, okay. But fitted sheet not very strong or I should say durable if pressed on too hard your fingers will go through it. ð

My order came in, in about a week and was nicely packaged. I had no damage to the contents even though it looked like the box was taped. I started to assemble it and it was so easy however after I had it together, I realized I had the frame upside down. Note, the top of the box spring says “Top”. I then attached the slats, and they are all strung together with Velcro and sit snuggly on the top of the frame. I struggled a bit with the cover however if you put it on correctly is should not be difficult. If it’s difficult then flip it over and try it another way. The directions were easy to understand, and it was super simple to put together. Everything you need was right in the box. I ordered a twin and it cost me about $100.00. Totally worth it and I do recommend this box spring and company for all your box spring needs. Buy it, it’s worth it!!!
