We have had this bed for 2 years. We added extra 1x2 and support legs. Has withstood daily use by two adults, 2 boxers and a shih tzu. I would buy again if needed

Regardless of what you have or what you weigh, I highly recommend getting 2x4's for support because the ones that come with the bed are far to weak and flimsy.

This bed is great but we added plywood as a support because we have a memory foam cooling gel mattress and special box springs for memory foam mattresses .... but we love the bed it's very sturdy

Hi, it is my opinion so far that this frame is much more sturdy than the old style that goes with a box spring. It does not move, and it has good stability features. You would have to ask the manufacturer for the specific number of pounds it will support though.

You can try...I had to re-enforce the middle support. it was cheap and flimsy and honestly broke within days. I think it would look a little funky to have the box spring under the mattress on this bed. it's made to be used without a box spring.

So far, we haven't had any issues with the box spring collapsing - we're using the two twin box springs for a king mattress and it has worked well for us.

I have this bed in my guest bedroom without the boxspring and its perfect. I am truly happy with this bed. The mattress has not sagged and its not damaged.

We have the queen size bed and it is very sturdy and heavy once the mattress is in place..... We have not experienced any movement whatsoever. The wood slats below the mattress support the frame and mattress. Because there is no box spring needed with these types of bed we suggest a very good mattress and a reasonably firm one.

We got a Epic Furnishings Durabed Heavy Duty Black Steel Platform Folding Bed Frame with Headboard Attaching Brackets, King, so we could attach a headboard as well as have a box spring. I have read a few complaints about squeaking, but have experienced none so far with this particular box spring. We have two of these now, and they work fine. The mattress is a winner. The plush mattress cover really makes it comfortable.

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.

Yes it works. I would not use a box spring. The frame and a matress are enough and as for looks makes an appealing bed.

Hi. My mattress that I bought was a king size and it was true to size. My mattress fits perfectly on the box springs. I get a good night sleep as well. Hope this answers your question

We have only had our king for a couple of month, so can't speak to how it will be in a year or two, but I consider it a very firm mattress and at 240 pounds, if I put my knee and weight on it, there is very little compression. I can turn over on it and my wife will not even know I moved. Overall, we love it. Also bought a sleep-tite cover for it which is required by the warranty.

We have been using ours with a low profile box spring since april and so far there has been zero problems! The bed is holding up great and we couldn't be happier with it! One word of advice, if you want to see the headboard at all on this thing, don't use a standard box spring! We have a very short low profile box spring and we can barely see the headboard, and that was a big reason we liked this frame so much! Lol.

I only have a single mattress but the frame is so strong that I'd trust it to hold up a Mac truck. Your king should be fine.

Hi, the bed is very flexible without a box spring. as soon as i sit on the edge of it, it sinks with my weight . i just tried to prop and bend the top, and was not succesful. It is just so thick

It is a sturdy bed but as others have mentioned, you would probably have to reinforce the frame with more wooden slats. Our bed has a box spring and the bed is really sturdy. I love this bed but I would suggest that you use a box spring or be ready to reinforce the area where the mattress will be.

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 don't know what weight they can bear but, based on the design and quality of the manufacture it should be capable of handling the weight of the mattress/box spring and two people. Since the bed frame and slats carry most of the weight of the bed and occupants I suspect the support is not carrying much weight. My wife and I have a combined weight of 280 pounds; if we weighed 400 pounds (or more) using 2 supports might be advisable.
