Overview
A low-profile, 5 inch metal box spring foundation built for king mattresses, with welded steel construction rated to 3500 pounds and a removable washable cover.
This is a bed foundation, not a mattress, meant to replace a traditional 9 inch box spring under a king mattress with a slimmer metal alternative. The welded steel joints and U-shaped grooves are aimed specifically at cutting the squeaking common in older box spring sets.
- 5 inch low-profile height
- 3500 lb support rating
- Folding welded steel frame
- Removable washable cover
Who it's for
King-bed owners who want a lower overall bed height than a standard box spring, or who want a quieter metal foundation instead of an aging wood-and-fabric box spring.
