How has the bed help up so far? I am 6'1" 270 lbs. Plan on using teak wood base and frame from Ikea. Just concerned it will not hold up to my size and weight. Any comments or answers appreciated.

I am extremely happy with my purchase. I was worried at first but so far I am glad I took the chance. This is by far the best mattress I have owned. I have tried Ikea, Simmons, Beautyrest, etc. I did build my own box spring and put in extra support. I believe that helps also. I cant speak for the bed you are talking about but I have purchased a few Ikea beds and all have been slated bed base which didnt provide enough support for my back. All I can do is vouch for the mattress. It is excellent but I suppose that if it doesnt have a good platform to be on it will probably give.

It never restored to the original size to begin with, so I wouldn't recommend purchasing this bed to anybody. It is really flimsy and malleable for a 5'3" girl to even stand on or to just sit on the side of the bed.

5 ft. 10 250 lbs. so far so good. Better than my last $1500 Sterns & Foster !!!

My wife is 5'6(130lb) and it works great. Im 6'1 (190lb) and its great for me too. Its a little heavy/awkward for a smaller lady to carry but can be done. At 5'3 she might be able to go with a shorter/smaller board too. They are great boards though.

I belive I said it all - the wood is to light and the beams that support mattress will crack or break with a light amount of movment. I mean you do not have to heavy - I mean when you have both beds open the top person must step on the bottom bed to leave. This looks good however it does not wear well at all. If you can see yourself making ajustments - like replacing boads then you can make it stonger. Do not buy the bed if you are not willing to make ajustments.

Dave - how fat are you? I have a fat friend and he fits in it quite nicely. Snug. I think he's about 5'11" and weighs around 280lbs. Much more than that and you might need to upgrade! Good luck. Rich

Did not care. No problems with my purchase. I did purchase two 1/4" 4' X 8' OBC plywood and cut to exact size and screwed in the top for extra strength and support. But I am anal. I put a Sleep Number Bed on it. Nice piece. Works well for us. Had it 3 years. No problems so far. Brett

Kate, I had the same question before I bought it and I was nervous because it was a big piece to pack up and ship back - a concern I always have about buying online. When we got it - it was big - but even against the rantings of my husband - I got it anyway. We both love it!! I can't say enough good things about it - plenty of space underneath to put blankets and books, and I have a lazyboy sofa and when I strech my legs our they are even with the seat of the sofa. It's a very comfortable surface - not too hard and not to squishy. For us, this was a perfect purchase. (Easy to put the legs on too - I left that to my husband, who just for a precaution, pre-drilled the holes) Hope this helps.

So far, we haven't run into any issues. I think we have had ours for about 9 months and its holding up well so far (no sinking thoroughly the bottom. I think the sinking happens more when the slats are not so close together. We had that exact problem with this very nice wooden frame we had before this one and that was the exact reason we got the better than a box spring frame. And we are glad we did. We are getting better sleep and not waking up all sore. I would recommend it.

We have had ours 6 months or so and they are the same as when we got them. We use an Ikea frame with a solid piece of wood underneath and I honestly don't expect much change at all. My mother in law just stayed with us (she is a pretty large woman) and swears it is the best sleep she has had in years and plans to buy one.

The King size headboard is pretty sturdy as it is, but you could certainly add wood support brackets. We've had it for 8 months or so. I, too, general try to beef-up cheap items to make them last...as for this one, i haven't needed to.

We didn't purchase this frame but instead purchased one from Serta which we believe to be the same height as this one. Since the frame sat too close for the floor the bed skirts sold these days at places like Bed, Bath & Beyond, we used the wood risers which we had purchased for the previous bed. (We have seen some black plastic risers which are way too high, but the wood ones worked well for us.) Does this mean that everyone in the USA who purchases a new frame must also purchase risers to use a bedskirt? Seems improbable, but it may very well be the case.

I would suggest that you look elsewhere for your TV stand. This is a great coffee table, but the center of the glass is unsupported and therefore you may create a stress fracture over time. My wife and I sometimes sit at ours on the floor (that's what take-out does to people!) and I am always very careful to not press on the center as I get up... 75lbs sounds like a lot of weight if it is concentrated in the middle of this unit. Also, it is pretty low to the floor, so you probably would get more use out of a console or a unit designed for media (let alone the cords situtation). Hope this helps!

Hi, this is a very nice headboard. However, you will not be able to attach. We had to place big books under the base in order to get the right height. I did not buy the platform, perhaps that connects somehow. I doubt it though, looking at the picture it seems to raise the bed to the proper height only. You may want to purchase this also, if you don't have any big books, such as text books. I hope this helps.

250 lbs would definitely sag! I'm 140 lbs and left a slight sag feel to the mattress. I guess if the bed would hold 200+ I would put a board under the mattress to help the sag feeling.

Greetings C.S.,I wasn't exactly sure therefore I decided to give a brief experiment to successfully answer your question. I myself am a 32 year old male (5'11" 190 pounds in stature) and after sitting on the TV stand (our TV is wall-mounted above it), the TV stand did not even budge, creek or show signs of weight stress.I would imagine this stand could hold any size TV with ease without damage or breaking. Obviously you cannot go jumbo-size on the TV since it totals precisely 46 5/8 in width, so measure your existing or new TV's width to ensure it fits property.I hope this helps.

I tried contacting them as well and they said it was just a mock up for now. I have my tuft and needle mattress on a malm frame that I purchased at Ikea in black/brown and it looks pretty similar! I would def recommend people check out this mattress as we love our purchase. https://www.tuftandneedle.com/r/fWl6Zdww

I contacted Tuft & Needle about the bed frame displayed on their website to see if it was available for purchase. Kelly responded and advised that the frame was a prototype and not available at this time. She gave me the web addresses to couple of companies that make similar frames: haikudesigns.com and tatamiroom.com. The frames from those two companies were out of my price range, but they all look very nice. I found a basic solid mahogany platform bed frame from the Charles P. Rogers website that I am going to buy. I've never heard of the company, but all the reviews mention that their product is very high quality. This is the bed frame I am going to purchase: http://www.charlesprogers.com/solide-platform-bed-p-392.html?cPath=31_155 One thing I like about this frame is that the platform is level with the frame and appears to be some kind of upholstered deck instead of wooden slats.

Your bed frame probably cannot support the weight of this bed, it must sit on the floor but you can usually assemble the frame around the bed. The bottom edge of my bed is about 9 inches above the floor (on top of carpet. The sides of the bed soft foam covered in cloth. There are shorter legs available I don't know if longer ones are available. If you need a specific measurement let me know. I emailed the seller and he answered me a few hours later, you could try that too. This is a great bed!
