antique wooden beds

Common mattress sizes are Full, Queen, and King. Some frames are offered in Queen/Full configurations to provide added flexibility.

They typically use a platform design with wooden slats or a slatted support base, so a box spring is generally not required.

Many frames include built-in storage such as under-bed drawers or compartments, large chests with multiple drawers, benches with hidden storage, and daybeds that add a sliding trundle and side shelves.

Common materials include pine (often combined with MDF), wood composite, rubberwood, and plywood. Some designs also incorporate woven rattan panels or linen upholstery.

Listed weight capacities typically range from about 400 to 650 pounds, with many models rated around 500–600 pounds.

Most listings indicate "Adult assembly required." Some specify that tools are provided, while others require you to supply tools. Many include step-by-step instructions and the necessary hardware, but check the specific product listing for exact details.

Recommendations vary by model: trundles commonly recommend around 6" mattresses; platform frames often suggest 6–8" or 8–10", and a few individual frames list up to 10". Verify the exact recommendation on the product listing.
