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. Thx Oz

I love this bed. I bought two different brands and though this one was more expensive it has been great. Easy to put together, stable and never had any complaints about it being "tight". (I don't have exact measurements...I disassemble it for the summer... but will be reassembled in another week or so).

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

I have this bed, I am sure there probably is but you also can likely adjust that. With original parts, I climbed into bed with my daughter (combined weight of probably about 225) and it bowed a little under me. But the plywood style pieces to hold up the mattress are 4 parts. So we took a long plywood board and added it on top of those and the bed has no reaction to the addition of my weight.

We have ours at the highest height- the headboard does not touch the floor and it IS a little wobbly. It's in a guest room that doesn't get used too much but we liked the quality of the wood and it matched our other furniture so we just live with it. I would not want someone to lean hard against it too much.

So far no sagging - seems pretty sturdy. I have had the bed frame for a few months. Does mattress slide? Yes, but I put an old quilt between the mattress and frame and that helped a lot. I would still buy the frame knowing all of this.

I would sugguest buying a different bed with sturdier wood. We had ours for less than 6 months my 4 year old and wife sat on it at the same time and the frame and head board piece snapped in half. Sorry hope that helps

The mattress would definitely work for you, the frame though may not I'm about 200lbs and it creeks a little when I move. I definitely wouldn't jump on to the bed lol. I'm not thrilled with how the frame was made it doesn't have a whole lot of support bars like I thought it did. I will say that I've had 2 kids on the bed at one time with me and it hasn't broken, one was 150lbs and the other 100lbs. So it may be okay. You can find other frames on here for pretty cheap. Or you can check sleepys and when they have a sale buy a frame. The have really good deals. This mattress is wonderful though so its worth buying it for just this part.

U have a king. 76 w. 83L I love it. It takes up a bit of space and its sturdy ;) . Only thing wrong is when it came there where no bolts or screws. Had to go to home depot with instructions to find and match the ones I needed. I already had a box n matress.

I had the same experience at the beginning, but I took it apart and looked at the directions again. they are not the clearest but once I figured how it should go, it turned out well and it's a great bed. sturdy and unshakable. good make and great deal.good luck

My wife and I recently got this bed and I weight around 185 and she is about 150 and hold us just fine. The only issue we have had is that the wood support slats on the right side of the bed fall out of place when you lay in it sometimes. I think due to being slightly too short because the left side is fine. Otherwise a very sturdy bed.

I have the same bed and I don't use a frame. Its pretty high off the ground. Its not necessary to me but its your opinion what u like

The Base is not as solid as it should be ...we didnt buy a box spring , and we noticed that the sides of our memory foam mattress were sort of sinking . My Husband reinforced the base with a wood plank and now it's fine / BTW it's a Beautiful Bed

Hi. My son is 5'9, 180lb and hes only 14 (15 in Nov). Not fat just growing like a root the last year. I researched for several months and found this bed. He can sit up in the bed without popping his head on the top bunk. This is not a toddler bed or kiddie bed (which I did not want). My son has several more years to sprout. When he sleeps like all humans he pulls his legs up slightly and snuggles under his blanket and there's nothing but room at the end of the bed. This is the best purchase so far for my boys. I put it together by myself stress free,the bed doesnt even move when used. The only thing that irked me is that if you do purchase this bed there are like 60 little gray squares you pop in to secured the bars. After a nearly broken my thumbs and 30 minutes later I gave up, there not needed. The bars "snap" in and the mattress is snug and secures everything in place. No worries whatsoever about this bed! Good luck.. Oh Yeah, top bunk is just as sturdy as the bottom.. I never thought I would by a metal bed. I sometimes sleep on the top bunk with my youngest during storms just because. Hes 70lbs Im 140lbs. We also play card games up there. So you do the math about the top bunk holding a full sized person. Great product!

My twin bed has a headboard that I think gives the bed more weight. I don't sit at the end of the bed only on the side. Ive had no problems with the frame or tipping.

My husband weighs 200 and I weigh 150 but we have a memory foam mattress that is VERY heavy and this frame holds all with no problem. We had to drill holes and put screw in each slat to make it really sturdy. Note that it's a good idea to have plenty of room to walk around the bed. It doesn't show in the picture but the legs stick out. You will crack your shin on it if you need to get around the edge and you don't have a lot of room. Good luck!

Deeply apologize for the very late response. If youve already made a decision, disregard the following.If you've put together IKEA furniture, and havent had issues putting those pieces together, this shouldnt be too much of an issue. it is a pain to put together, they could have def simplified the design, but it isnt all that bad.have a couple of cold beverages avail and some simple tools, and you'll be good to go.Again i apologize for the late reply. I def dropped the ball on the lateness of this reply
