Thuma’s “The Bed” is made of repurposed rubberwood and “eco-felt,” a felt lining along the wooden slats made from recycled plastic. There’s also a cork pad on the bottom of each leg that prevents damage to your floors. You won’t find any red-flag ingredients (such as plywood or fiberboard) in its construction—just solid, dependable wood.

You’ll also need to consider the bed riser’s base width. Some splay out to a 7-by-7-inch base, while others have a narrower base. A wider base may take up more floor space, but they’re usually more stable. Height Our Take: “The unique Japanese joinery design is kind of fun, and an intuitive way of setting up a usually cumbersome piece of furniture … a toddler could figure it out (but on a much smaller scale, of course).” – Julia Forbes, Lead Product Tester at Sleep Advisor Many mattresses, especially all-foam products, require slats no more than 3 inches apart. If you are concerned about pairing your mattress with a new frame, it could be worth reaching out to your mattress company to find out if the two products are compatible. See if your mattress has a “matching” frame. If you’re satisfied with your current mattress—and especially if it’s a mattress designed for heavy people—then it’s worth investigating whether the same brand makes bed frames, too. They might have a frame that matches your bed exceptionally well.

Minimalist look – Not everyone digs the plain wood aesthetic. If you want a more ornate bed frame, or one made of metal, the Thuma might not be for you.

Bed risers offer extra options in the arrangement and use of beds and other furniture. However, there are a few practical considerations you may not have thought of. We’ve answered a few common questions to provide a better idea of what to expect. Q. Are bed risers sturdy?

Quick Summary

It really is silent – After our testing, we determined that “The Bed” should stay almost unbelievably quiet in the face of tossing, turning, and (presumably) sexual activity. Slat bed frames will often put a lot of strain on your mattress. And if you are overweight, you may gain more comfort and support from a mattress and a box-spring combination.

Having a noisy bed frame can keep you up all night long, especially if you are a heavier individual whose extra weight pushes against the frame, making it creak and squeak all night long. Many brands advertise their frames as being noiseless or sound-free. If you are a sleeper who wakes up easily due to these squeaking sounds, it may be well worth your while to find an option with this feature. Storage Space

Look at brands that already cater to heavier people with their other products. Certain mattress brands have done a notably considerate and thorough job of selling products that meet the needs of plus-size customers. They’re more likely to sell a bed frame that performs well for heavier people than brands that aren’t as knowledgeable about this demographic. If you’re a heavier person shopping for a frame for your mattress, you’ll want to look at these and several additional factors before making your decision. We’ve included details on each of them in our guide below. Weight Capacity This budget-friendly frame has an under-bed clearance of 7.5 inches. This may sound low compared to other products, but it is a fairly decent space for storing small and mid-sized boxes.

Storage space – Once assembled, “The Bed” has a generous 9 inches of space underneath it for storing household goods. Crossing slats provide stability from both directions that should better support the mattress and the sleeper. This extra use of material fosters the additional support that heavier sleepers need.

Our Bed Brackets are also commonly used on Tables, Stools, Benches and other Furniture items 

Ease of entry and exit to the bed is another common reason to use bed risers. Do a test using a bed or chair that’s a comfortable height. Measure the distance from the floor to the seat or top of the mattress. The bed riser height plus the height of your mattress and bed frame should equal that number. Weight Capacity Our Premium Twin Wheel Casters are the highest quality we have seem in the UK Market. They are manufactured in the UK and available in for a Soft Flooring (Carpet) or a Hard Floors (Wood, Laminate, Tiling and so on). Both versions are also available with or without brakes. If you are overweight and looking for a new bed frame that will provide you with the support and comfort you need, you should look for one that has a high weight capacity, and one that will allow you to use a box-spring with your mattress. Features to Consider when Choosing a Bed Frame One of the biggest considerations for heavier folks is the weight capacity of the bed frame. Some brands support up to 5,000 pounds, while others may not even hold 500. Not all products are rated for heavier sleepers, so it’s worth researching to find out if specific brands have weight restrictions.
