What is the support like on this bed as we have a split box spring. Also what are the legs made out of and do they seem sturdy?

I would love for someone to answer this question! I posted about the split box spring, but it was erased....so I'm eager to know if the split box spring will work for this bed before I purchase it

These should work fine for most Twin beds with an adult sleeping on them. Keep in mind that the bed is ultimately being supported by your headboard and footboard when using these rails. Also, if you expect the bed to need additional support (for example: a large dog shares the bed with you, or there will be quite a bit of movement during the night) you may want to add some slats with legs (like the Bed Claw Unibody Legs, for example) to help support your box spring.

I have only had it assembled for a few days now but it seemed to hold about 170 pounds just fine overnight. There are multiple boards holding up the mattress so the weight is displaced decently on the top bed (a slim box spring would probably give it even more strength - just don't get a regular box spring unless you don't mind that the head boards are even to the mattress. I had to return our box spring because of that & will be getting a slim box spring instead.). The bottom bed I would be hesitant on using a lot of weight since the wheels that support the bed do not seem as sturdy. Hope that helps.

The (4) feet are definitely wood. As for the rest ... the structure is actually hidden behind the faux leather which covers the entire structure. So what's under that is unknown. There are metal side rails with plenty of support for the mattress. The bed is both solid and sturdy. I've had the bed since January 13, 2013. No complaints at all. It is very low, using just a single mattress.

It is a fairly solid bed. The headboard doesn't "sway" at all because it is bolted to the frame with some heavy connection points. Well worth the money.

We have a box spring and a memory foam mattress on it. You could probably get away with some plywood and a mattress. The bed is very sturdy but comes in pieces and I mean every piece was put together. We love it though, it's gorgeous and pulls the room together.

I use this bed with my box spring and mattress. I have had it for about a year and a half and I have no complaints. I didn't encounter trouble with the slats because I opted not to screw thru them. Those pieces are made for stability which is only needed when shifting the bed but its a king size monster and I have no intention breaking my back trying to move it.

Not quite sure, but i can tell you that i was pretty surprised that the frame seems to be well made. It does not need a box spring and it has metal bars that go across the entire center of frame. Very sturdy.. i love this frame and for the price you can't go wrong. Only complaint is that if you lean over one side of the bed the matress slides, mine has a few inches of frame sticking out on each side so it can lead to some bruised shins!But mine is a king...

I used a box spring for this. If you choose not to use a box spring, you would need to get something to support the mattress. Also, in my opinion, the headboard/footboard would look too high because the mattress would be so low. Hope this helps!

The rails seem to work fine. No wobblying. My bed was so low that I couldn't use the crossbrace with the feet so we just put a board between the rails to support the center of the box spring.

Platform bed should be fine without a box spring for support as long as it is constructed with thick enough wood. The mattress itself provides plenty enough comfort as is, although I did put a quilted cover on mine for a little bonus.

It's shipped with three wood slats that screw in place and each slat has a support leg in the center. Just the three slats probably isn't enough support for a mattress without a box spring, but the lip that the supplied slats rest on runs the entire length on both sides of the frame, so you could easily throw some more slats in there (or a sheet of plywood) for more support.

We are currently using 12 inch memory foam mattresses (we have 3, one queen and two full). Seems fine, but I am contemplating on adding sanded plywood or some sort of flat surface for additional support. It's also a little lower than a standard bed, the other option instead of plywood would be using a box spring. I agree with the other reviewers, the center legs are very tiny. The slats are also not "finished" (sanded), so it does damage the part of the tucked sheet, thus my thought on using finished plywood or better yet, a box spring.

The support is in the middle but it hasn't stopped us from storing things under the beds. The platform for the mattress is high enough that we can get good size boxes underneath. The center supports are nothing more than a 1" square post. We actually put some of that foam water pipe insulation around them to save our toes.

This bed has 4 legs and it is a complete bed. It has the headboard, footboard, frame, and it comes with an allen wrench to tighten everything so you don't need any other tools. You will need a box spring or something else to support a top mattress but a foam mattress will need some additional support that is not included with this bed

Agree with Mike H. The slats were just a hair too short. My husband (weight: 240) laid on his side and a few of the slats instantly fell out. For me (weight: 120), it was fine but I was a bit hesitant at first. Now that we've had the bed for about a month, so far so good. Overall, the structure of the bed is sturdy and feels sturdy.

Hi Kerri, I agree with Drea...the bed would be way too high with a box spring. It's quite high with just the mattress itself. It is a nice sturdy bed with plenty of room underneath for storage or a trundle though.
