Zinus 7.5 Inch Standard Profile Metal Smart Box Spring / Mattress Foundation / Wood Slat Support / Easy Assembly, Queen

Well designed, easy to put together. Works with latex matresses.
Few screws, frame marked everywhere so it’s very easy to know which piece goes where. Distance between slots is under 3″, which is a requirement for latex mattresses.

Sturdy, zero noise and beautiful!
This is the second Zinus bed I get and I will definitely be a returning customer if I ever need to change my bedframe again. It arrived in perfect shape, not a scratch. SUPER easy to assemble, and no flaw whatsoever in the build of the frame. Just as advertised by the manufacturer, this bed makes ZERO squeaking noise. I was happy with my previous 14″ Zinus bedframe, but I needed to change it because I got a new mattress that happened to be 15″ high, which required a lower bedframe for me to be able to get into my bed without feeling like I’m “climbing ” into it!! The bonus with this frame is that it can be used as a spring box (with the fabric cover) or as a bedframe, in which case it has a modern and neat look. The only downside to using it as a bedframe is that it doesn’t have anti-slip pads on the bottom so if you worry about scratching your floor, you should think about adding a carpet underneath or come up with another idea. Oh and did I meantion that this bed has a sturdy feel to it and the wooden flat slats are perfect for heavy mattresses like mine. The distance between the slats is small (2.6 inches) and the slats being flat, they don’t leave marks at the bottom of my mattress. I got it on sale for 200$, so bonus!!!

Recommend it
The installation is very easy, it is sturdy enough.The only problem is that sometime(when move too much) the velcro that keeps the woods in place make noise.

Fantastic product!
Comes in a long box, about 7 ft, we opened it in the garage, and carried all the parts up to the second floor which has narrow stairs and a landing half way. Took only about 10 minutes to put it together, is is very well designed, and quite solid for our foam mattress to sit on. Before our mattress sagged in the middle, but with this box spring, not at all. Instructions are very clear and easy to follow. The whole structure is very light. The cloth cover was easy to put over it. Would certainly order one of these again. Very, very pleased.

Queen size.. I bought this a few days ago to be the platform base for my new foam mattress. I don’t write reviews, but after i put this together and laid it on my bed frame, i just had to.Packaging: UPS shipped and it had some dings and tears, but the internal edge padding and box tape kept it together. I was mildly concerned but figured id open it before i got too excited.Opened Package: Instructions, tools, and bolts in a nice easy open/close plastic storage bag. The box ends were heavily padded with foam inserts to protect the rails and wood. The rails were tied and wrapped in a plastic glove that protected them and was very easy to pull off. All nice and secure.Instructions: I wondered if the writers worked for Apple or Google. The several steps had detailed pictures. were very easy to read and nicely laid out. (the labels in the instructions were exact to the labels on the rails and bolts)..Tools: 12 bolts, 4 spares, an allen wrench, and believe it or not… a small simple allen ratchet tool.. Seriously? Nice touch. All tools were in a fitted package and labeled so you dont loose anything.Build:Three rails attached to 2 ends to create the rectangle platform. Every end attachment had a sticker, labeled 1, 2, 3, .. 6. Screw hole on rail 1 met with screw hole 1 on end piece… and so on.. easy.. The bolts were thick and were easy to hand twist with large ridged edge. I used my fingers to insert the bolt and screw in every one (12 total). What that means is that the steel was machined perfectly. Every hole was lined up and matched every cut out and each bolt fastened easily. No nuts required. There were 2 sets of wooded slats that were connected to each other with velcro ties, the bed rails edges had velcro surface the entire length of the rail, which means the wooden slats connected to each other and stayed put on the rail. It took me less than 5 min to attach them. It has a ledge for all the wood slats to sit on AND had velcro to keep it in place. Then i put the frame on its side and put the cover on and zipped it up. Fit like a glove. small wonders.. i didnt expect this actually, so i have to give credit where credit is due..I’ll update this after its used..

Positives:I have had this foundation for over a month and have been using it nightly. It was a very good replacement for my box springs, which creaked from the first day I got it. Now, with this foundation, there is no creaking and no noise when I roll around trying to get comfortable, which is an improvement. Since I am a bigger guy, this impressed me. So the engineering and manufacturing were done well.The price provided a good value given that with Amazon Prime shipping, this 50 lb. monster was delivered to my door. (But the shipper bang up the box pretty bad.)The packing did a good job protecting the foundation against a poor delivery. Although the box was beat up badly, the contents were in perfect shape. Nothing was damaged.Assembly took some time, but no extra tools were required. The instructions were well written. And the manufacturer provides extra parts, just in case. So if you follow the instructions exactly, one person can assemble this in less than 45 minutes. I would guess that would go a lot faster with two people. The cover took the longest. Putting it on so it does not rip with one person is a real challenge because the foundation, once assembled, is heavy and ungainly. But once on, the whole thing is well protected against dust and dirt.The design was innovative. The manufacturer uses velco to keep the wooden slates from moving once installed. As a result, the whole unit, once assembled, is very sturdy and sound.Negatives:This thing is heavy and very ungainly for only one person. The box weighs over 50 lbs. and is long. Getting up stairs with one person is challenging, but with two there should be no problems (unless you on a 5-story walk up, then good luck). Once assembled, the weight makes it hard to move around until it is on the frame.Overall, this did not get a 5-star review because of the weight. Using all-steel construction for the frame means it weighs a lot, but that is what makes is sturdy and solid. And this is its only downfall. So, I would recommend this foundation as a good value and as being well represented by the text and images listed on Amazon.

We transitioned from a box spring to this item. Our box springs was quite old and this item has been hands-down a huge improvement. I’m quite interested in whether the longevity over a decade or more exists but I would be willing to buy another one every 5-10 years if we had to because it is just such a solid product right now and works really well and was pretty fun to put together!Thanks to other reviewer’s comments, I was anticipating the confusion on which way to put the cover on. Here’s my attempt at clarifying the issue: The zipper surrounds the head AND foot and 1 “side” of the frame. It is understandable that people would assume the zipper should surround BOTH sides and either the head OR the foot but that just ain’t so. Line it up properly along one side for success.The directions were super easy to follow; all the pieces’ connections were numbered; all the screws were packaged nicely; the Velcro and staples to properly/evenly space the slats were an excellent idea; there was even a really handy tool included to install the screws quickly and easily!My #1 reason for replacing my box springs was to eliminate the constant squeaking sounds. Mission accomplished! Getting into bed or moving around no longer has a vast array of squeaking noises. It’s funny the things you can get used to; I still keep expecting my bed frame to make its noises every time I sit down but it NEVER DOES now! There is a foam/rubber piece running down the entire length of the middle part of the frame adding additional sound dampening (I imagine). The sides and their Velcro attachments never wiggle nor make Velcro ripping sounds.This is working out great for supporting our considerably heavy memory foam mattress; I was a little bit concerned that the slats would be too far apart or the wood too weak for the heft and weight of the mattress + people but no problems so far.If it were easy to get the cover on and off, I would be doing so just to see how much movement getting in/out of bed and/or bouncing on it causes the wood slats to “give”. But since the cover is on, I have no idea. Maybe in 2 years we’ll break through one or more slats not realizing the stresses we were constantly placing upon them but I currently feel like that is unlikely. No creaking or other stress-related sounds so far!The cover looks nice if you aren’t inclined to cover the cover. Hope you are able to enjoy it, too!* 2024-02-29 Update! No changes whatsoever. This product ROCKS!
