Side by Side Comparison of: Dreamfoam Bedding vs Zinus

I purchased the twin bed on 9 February and it stated that delivery would be February 15 to February 21. Mattress arrived on the 15th so was very quick, it came rolled up in thick white saran wrap type plastic. Inside a cardboard box. Once unrolled, the mattress almost immediately started expanding and was comfortable enough to lay on within a minute. I didn't check again until an hour later and my son got on it and said it was as comfortable as the first of this mattress we had bought. Not sure what others are talking about but there was barely any smell at all and what there was was not unpleasant. That faint smell dissipated by the time I checked on it in an hour. Customer service is great and very responsive. I would buy again if I need to.

To be honest I was skeptical about this mattress. I figured it would do for now while I just simply need something cheap.
But I was greatly surprised at it's quality. Being rather thin, I assumed I would feel the frame underneath. But it is very dense and has a slight give when you lay on it, so its on the firmer side whilst still being soft. It didn't have a strong chemical smell either. After I opened it up I let it sit out for 2 days before use. So far it has yet to dip, such as other customers happened to them.
The one draw back that I can see, is it is not reversible. So I can't say this product will have a very long life.
hope that helps anyone considering buying. Also it fits the frame I bought (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006MIPW70?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00)
Sleep Master SmartBase Mattress Foundation/Platform Bed Frame/Box Spring Replacement/Quiet Noise-Free/Maximum Under-bed Storage, Twin
by Zinus

After reading all the reviews I went ahead and ordered a single size mattress. I came on time and was in a tall but small box. I open the box and after opening the airvac bag around the mattress, it inflated but not fully. I let it rest for 24 hrs and it was fully ready. It s white and in perfect condition. I was shocked how I didn't smell anything as many reviews stated the smell was strong. I bought for my 7 year old for the bottom bunk and its a little smaller than the spring normal mattress I had before but no so much it. Really can't tell if you didn't see the other one first.my son had slept wonderful since he got his new mattress. I slept in his bed with him and was shocked that I have slept all night without my normal 3 or 4 moments I normally wake up with lower back and hip pains. I'm planning to replace other mattresses in my near future.. Thanks for reading.

We ordered this bed for my daughter, who recently went from a queen to a loft twin size bed. The queen was my old mattress which was a pillow top, so my daughter was already used to having a pretty soft mattress to sleep on, which I admit is nothing I ever had growing up! ha! That being said, I wanted something that would be equally as comfortable for her to adjust to. I ordered this from Amazon, and got it in 2 days with prime. The box was very light, and easy for me to carry as a single woman. I left it in the box for 2 days, and moved it to our new apartment, in a new town. since I had some time, I opened, and allowed it to air out for 2 days without letting anyone sit, or lay on the mattress. No smells were detected, and it was easy to unfold. By the time we got the loft bed built, it was time for my daughter to try the mattress out. She LOVES it. She never has issues with falling asleep, and doesn't want to get out of it in the mornings. Its been a great buy for us, and we have owned it for almost a month now. No sags, or deformities that we have noticed. Well worth the $120 I spent to get it...

Finally found exactly what I've been looking for! This is crazy but for my entire life basically I've been sleeping on spring mattresses and this is my first foam and i can't believe how comfortable it is. I moved to college last year and this year decided to get my own mattress after sleeping on an air mattress for a while. For the price this is an amazing mattress. I've been to Ikea and the same priced mattresses are ridiculously bad, this one is just so much better than anything out there. Also there's some reviews that indicate the stitching is coming apart, and I know what you're referring to but that's not the stitching. You're seeing the material at the end of the stitch come apart due to whatever material they decided to stitch it with. The actual STITCHING is not coming apart anywhere on the one I received, I simply cut off the extra loose strings and put a cover over it. Also with the quilted top you don't even need a topper. For reference I'm 6'4" and 180lbs and the mattress feels very solid and not like a piece of foam.

I love this sturdy and simple bedframe! I purchased the mattress, bedding, rug, and lamps in the picture all from Amazon and I couldn't be happier with all of it. The frame is really cool because it collapses down. In a matter of minutes, the frame is only 2 inches thick and can be carried out easily by one person. That would be great for home staging but I use it all the time. Totally worth the price and, if you shop strategically on Amazon, you can get a really high-end look for pennies on the dollar.

A retired Marine gunnery sergeant now at 285 lbs. 69 yrs young and as we say in the Corps :no longer lean but still mean, semper fi. I bought a town house 5 yrs back and as a golfer lower backs are common so I bought a platform bed so I would be lower to the floor when getting up which I felt would take stress off my back. Well last week the bed collapsed, which was made entirely with particle board and cheaply made and was cricking all the time. So I decided to get a metal bed frame that would hold my fat ass and not crick. I'm a guy that researches everything to the 9nth degree whether it be a new vehicle or a loaf of bread. I found the "Zinus 14 inch Smart Mattress" and read that it would hold some 1200pounds! So I, as usual read a ton of reviews. If their claim is correct then it should hold my fat ass up so I ordered one. So here's my closing. It actually arrived super quick, I live in San Diego, California. The majority of reviews I read were mainly about how log it took to assemble and some parts were not included. The parts are simply wing nuts and a couple bolts. I took the reviews as a challenge so I took a quick glance at the instructional diagram and assembled the whole unit in twenty minutes. I would suggest, which I did, is to get four (that's all you need) 1/4 inch lock washers to enhance the security of the wing nuts. So once assembled I said to myself once I put my mattress on it I said to myself" Gunny go for it" so I took a big diver upon it and it was like Heaven! it held my fat ass and my old wavy mattress felt great as well also. However, I AM purchasing a new mid-firm mattress to go with this gem of a Zenus Smart Base. Nothing more to say, the product is exceptional, worth every cent, don't sell it short, it is a must have, LOVE MINE!!

It measures exactly to its product dimensions. I was worried if it would fit into my bed frame, but it JUST did by about a half inch. Deffinetly strong. I will update if there are any futures problems.

Loved it!!! I needed something that was sturdy, quiet and didn't bounce. It's great for sleep and "other activities" without waking the neighbors to the creek in if a regular box spring.

PROS:This is a solid piece of metal. I love that I can safely lay on it at night. I guess you can even jump on it for those times of joy and playfulness. It was very easy to install in under 10 minutes. No tools required. Similarly, it is very easy to carry and move around as it comes in two separate pieces. No more dissembling those heavy and bulky wooden bed frames.The best thing I love about this mattress platform is the extra storage space it gives you underneath. It is raised enough to store bins and shoes and even short drawers. I get many compliments from friends and family about how simple and elegant this mattress platform is.CONS:I'm a structural engineer so I like to have redundancy in my designs. I wish the joists that span from one side of the platform to the other were a little thicker. But maybe that's just me being a perfectionist. The rest of the steel that borders the platform and its legs are good enough, though. Overall I still think this platform is solid and very durable.If you found this review helpful, I would appreciate it if you click yes.

no noise, easy to handle, firm enough, perfect storage space under the frame.

Good price for decent matress. As others have stated, i ordered multiple and received two different versions. They seem the same quality but look and feel different, luckily uniformity was not important to me. Arrived fast and unpacking was simple, and they were ready within an hour or so, but we waited 24hrs to use them. Not flipable, but that wasn't expected. Great for my kids, no complaints. Only markdown is for different look and feel for what is supposed to be an identicle product. One had a design, the other was all white and one is more firm, so i can understand previous comments on quality differences. It gets four stars because i knew that was a possibility when i bought it.

I bought this for my daughter. It was smashed so tightly in the packaging it won't go to the full original size. It's been several weeks and it still looks a bit smushed. We had to put something underneath of it to raise the mattress up (just a couple of inches) so it worked with her daybed. However, aside from the packaging issues this was a good buy. This is a very comfortable bed. Even I don't mind laying in it from time to time. My daughter is 12 and not a tiny girl so I feel this would work for a small adult as well (my daughter is 5"1 110 lbs). All in all I'm glad we got it. I have a very happy kid :)

I was expecting a mattress. Being in a pinch and unable to go to a store to shop this was the next best thing. I would have rather spent the money on a mattress that would have lasted longer. But the convenience of to the door delivery outweighed that.
I say lasted longer only because this was purchased for a child, it is extremely soft and thin I am sure when she is older and weighs more than 40lbs she will want something more supportive and thicker. For a temporary small child's bed it does the trick. It is very soft, it is just the memory foam layer without the springs of a mattress. It came rolled like a carpet and I was in a panic. Once out it did fluff up and resembled a thin mattress.
I would purchase again if I was in a time pinch. But for the longer run a real mattress would be better.

Background: I am a female college student (140-145lbs) who needed to buy a mattress for the new unfurnished apartment my friends and I moved into. Wasn't looking for the absolute best mattress out there, just something that I can use for the next year, but I also didn't want to get a super low quality mattress either. Oh and I gave myself a $150 budget. Side note: I received my mattress yesterday and have slept on it only once since I received it. If anything I write about today changes, I will be sure to update my review!!

I was very surprised when I received my mattress a day before my guaranteed delivery, and that it came in such a small box!! One thing I was disappointed in was that it did not come in the duffel bag or two plastic outer layers that Dreamfoam said it would come in, but whatever. It was vacuum sealed and basically just Saran wrapped, lol. #easytocarry

One AUTOMATIC plus that I noticed was that it IMMEDIATELY deflated when my boyfriend unwrapped it!! I know the company says it can take 24-48 hours, but mine was completely deflated in like 10 seconds. Score!! The other thing I liked about the mattress was that there was NO ODOR when we unpacked it. This was something I had read and was concerned about, but I smell nothing!! Something else that I was concerned about was it getting hot when I slept on it, because I read that that happens with foam mattresses, but it hasn't happened to me! I guess it just depends on the sleeper, and I am not a "hot" sleeper.

The only reason I am giving it four stars is because it said that the mattress would deflate to 7" and after giving the mattress time to deflate (if it was going to deflate more than it did in the first 10 seconds), it only deflated to 6.5". It looked kinda short, so I bought a mattress topper for added height and comfort, and it feels like a CLOUD. :) Other than the height, this mattress is magnificent!!! Great value (and believe me, I looked around) and great quality. I like the quilted top, but just in case you are wondering, this is not a reversible mattress. There is no quilted top on the bottom of the mattress.

Like I said, I will update my review if anything changes after more use with this mattress. But at $108, I can proudly and happily say that it exceeded my expectations!!!

PS: While I am very happy with my new mattress, I do not know if I would recommend it to anyone heavier than like 150lbs. My boyfriend, who weighs about 180-200lbs laid on it, and he said he liked it, but I could see he pushed it down pretty far. I know Dreamfoam also makes a 9" mattress like this one, so perhaps that would work better?

PSS: I would definitely recommend buying a mattress topper for this mattress!! I got a memory foam one, and paired with this affordable mattress, I can foresee being very happy with this mattress in the future!!! :)

I ordered this twin sized mattress for my 2 year old son. We recently purchased a bed frame for him and switched him out of his toddler bed & needed a mattress to go with.
Amazon never fails - prices are great for quality items! I am very pleased with the mattress. I personally would not want the mattress for myself but it is perfect for smaller children! It is sturdy enough for him, fits his twin frame perfectly, and he says it's comfortable.
I was shocked when the box arrived - I did read the other reviews before I purchased this mattress, but I guess I never noticed the other comments about how it is packaged. The box was about 3 feet tall and about 1 foot x 1 foot wide. The mattress was pretty much vacuum sealed in a lot of plastic wrap. I took the coiled up mattress out of the box and cut the plastic off and the mattress basiclly popped out and puffed right up! It took about 24 hours for the mattress to come to it's full potential. I still can't believe the mattress was squished in that box!!
Like I said, this mattress is perfect for little light weight children but I wouldn't recommend it {comfort wise} for teens/adults.

It's not the prettiest base, but it was very easy to put together and it holds the mattress up. I got a Zinus 12 inch gel infused mattress to pair with this.We definitely use a bed skirt because it's ugly, but it's lightweight, easy to move if we need to, and there's plenty of storage space underneath. The height is perfect, not too low, and not too high for an adult.So far it is silent and doesn't make any noise, but honestly this bed is for my 3 year old and he's not doing too much jumping or anything but sleeping in the bed.For the price point it's #1. We definitely considered a traditional bed set-up and I'm glad that we didn't waste the money. The cost of this smartbase bed was much cheaper than buying a regular bed and boxspring, even when I considered buying cheaper versions. A base like this means that you don't need a foundation, and it's ultimately one less thing to deal with.

these work great, with the exception of the fact that if the headboard doesn't touch the ground or a wall .... DON'T LEAN BACK on it ! Cause it will bend the brackets and probably cause a problem with your screw holes stripping. I had to add a 1"x3" brace in the back, horizontally, to hold the headboard upright and steady.

My husband and I bought this with high hopes, because we are both pretty overweight and would need something that could comfortably hold almost 600lbs together. He put it together by himself with no issues and I've slept on it every night since. We've had it for a little over a month now, and I'm sleeping great. It does have an occasional squeak here and there, but we expected this with our weight. Very happy with the purchase.

Was really happy with how easy it was to assemble and how lightweight it is. However, less than 4 months in, one of the support beams has snapped off where it was connected to the frame. Nothing done except the usual getting in and out of bed. Only a memory foam mattress on top.Updated 3/7/2016Zinus customer service was very prompt and helpful with filing for my replacement. I received the replacement frame in a week after submitting all the documentation. Greatly appreciate the quick response!

This is a great solution if you don't need a headboard, boxspring, etc. It's also great if you need to move it around, need only a temporary bed, need to haul it up a bunch of stairs or through tight quarters, etc. You can fold it up in about 10 seconds and it will take up hardly any space in a closet, behind a sofa, under another bed, or similar. It's reasonably well made, doesn't squeak, is plenty strong, and provides some "give" making any mattress more comfortable. It also lets the mattress completely breathe on the underside which some platform beds don't.This is ideal for use with an inexpensive foam or innerspring mattress. I'm using it with the Dreamfoam 9" Eurotop mattress DreamFoam Bedding Ultimate Dreams 9-Inch Crazy EuroTop mattress, Twin, X-Long and the combo is as comfortable as many beds and mattresses at 5+ times the price.As others have pointed out, the extra height makes the bed more comfortable for sitting and getting in and out of. It also provides a lot of storage underneath.The only negative is there's nothing to stop the mattress from sliding around on top of the frame. The DreamFoam mattress I'm using has a somewhat slippery covering on the bottom and it slides around fairly easily. If you put the bed in a corner up against the walls it's likely not a problem. If they would have made the frame with raised corners or side rails to secure the mattress it would add to the size of the frame folded. It's a trade-off but something to be aware of compared to more permanent beds. If you're going to leave it set up, and don't care about voiding your mattress warranty, you could probably use some nylon zip ties and small holes near the "cording" around the base of your mattress to anchor it to the frame if it bothers you.

It's pretty great. We have our 14" memory foam mattress on it and it eliminated the need to buy a box spring. It doesn't move or squeak at all (we have it sitting on carpet) and it has enough height to storage our suitcases and extra storage bins under it. I'd recommend for sure. We bought a bedskirt to cover the frame and hidden storage.

I have used this mattress for over three almost four years however as I'm a large individual I now have to replace my mattress so I can sleep and not have pain I would not recommend if you are heavyset, but for children and healthy teens then this is for you. It arrived within a week of ordering it so that is a plus and withstood me and my pets however if you are heavy you will NOT GET TEN YEARS out of this mattress but be fair it is incredibly soft and withstood my beatings for a long time.

So, it's been 4 months since I bought these mattresses (bought 2). I have to say I am not happy with them mainly because one of the mattresses has not opened up uniformly. One corner of the mattress has a slope/inclined and I think it is because the springs never really opened up/straightened out correctly. The second mattress is fine. We bought these and had the two mattresses opened and left flat on the floor for about a month as we bought them before we were going for a long trip hoping that they will open up perfectly. Sadly, it was not meant to be. Not going to buy it again.

Mattress is okay for our three year old. We have laid on it and it seems comfortable enough. The issue we ran into is one end never fully inflated. With it being for our youngest, we don't really foresee it being too big of a deal.

This mattress is just OK... We purchased it for our 4 year old's first twin size bed. He's only 40 lbs, which is why it will still work for us. As others have noted, it never fully "inflated". The top and right side of the mattress did puff up nearly immediately - within 12 hours they looked normal. The bottom and left side are a different story. We cranked the heat in the room we took it out of the package, which helped marginally. After nearly 48 hours the left side inflated enough that we weren't worried about our son rolling off to one side. The bottom is still terribly creased and flat (it's been 5 days now). It'll be a long time before our son is tall enough to have the sagging end effect his comfort. I suppose you get what you pay for. This will probably be our last "rolled up in an impossibly small box, ordered online" mattress. I'll stick to buying in store. It is a comfortable mattress, and our son has been sleeping very well on it - hence the 3 stars. I just wish we would have forked over the extra $50 to get a nice twin mattress at Costco.

I ordered a set of bunk beds with a trundle drawer so I needed three twin mattresses. What I received were three DIFFERENT mattresses. I would have no problem if the fabric was the only difference but the quality varies wildly. I can now understand how some people love their $95 mattress and some people thought the quality was very poor. My sons actually argued about which one they got because one was so clearly superior. . anyone who has more than one child knows that the best policy for keeping everyone happy is to keep an even playing field. :) Mattress one: excellent quality all around. Well worth the price. Mattress two: about what i expected. . completely fine, not great. Mattress three: it's still in the wrapper. . am thinking about returning it but can't imagine how to get it back into the box! Poor person who ends up sleeping on the guest trundle. . .I should not have to make that choice. . .seller needs to make sure all mattresses are of equal quality.

The frame itself if nice and sturdy. The trouble is that the mattress flies off of it. They should have put a 1 or 2 inch tall little holder on the edges so the mattress stays put. I wish the company would respond and tell me I am doing something wrong and there is a solution to this. Nowadays bamboo and other type of mattresses are very light. So the mattress when one sits on bed is sliding on this frame. I laid on it and it seems to be ok when I turn and stays put. But getting off of it and getting on it one will have to do it carefully. Wish it was engineered differently. I really do!

I bought this bed frame in November of 2014. I was originally pretty pleased with it, as it did what I needed it to do--namely, replace a broken futon frame. I did notice it begin to sag after a while, but as I'm 300lbs I expected that. However, in the last few weeks, two of the thin metal bars have snapped off of the larger support frame. I'm pretty sure this is due to the fact that I often sit on the edge of my bed, which puts a lot of strain on one particular part of the frame, rather than having my weight spread out entirely.My mattress did slide terribly the first few nights I had it, but I remedied this by using a large no-slip rug pad which I duct taped to the edges. It was a great solution, but one that shouldn't have been necessary.All in all, I'm pretty happy with the frame, but concerned about how long it's going to last. Fortunately the side of the bed I sit on isn't the side I sleep on, so I just need to stop sitting there. However, for me, a bed frame would have to work for sitting too, so this one is less than ideal.

This is taller than our original bed frame. Set up was easy, took maybe 10 minutes. However, there are these bars that are angled which take up space and prevent from using that area. I guess I had high expectations. You can store more under here than the usual size bed frame but not much more. Especially not $75 worth more. If you have tubs that are taller than 12 inches, they most likely will not fit. Maybe if you have wooden floors. The shipping took a day longer but I expected that since it is a big package. I probably would have sent this back if it wasn't such a hassle to package and then take to the UPS since the closest one to me is about 15 minutes away. And I'm not sure if it would fit in my small car. If you're looking for a bed frame that gives you a little more room than the standard bed frames, this will work. But if you really want one for storage underneath, spend the extra money and get the 18 inch.

I bought the queen size option and it arrived on-time and undamaged. Very easy to set up and the height matches that of if there was a box spring. It doesn't make and noise, but my only complaint would be that my memory foam mattress tends to slide around on it a bit. I'm not really sure how to prevent that, but other than that it's a nice box spring replacement.

As others have mentioned, it seems to be very sturdy and holds up well. We've had this for about 6 months or so and for the first couple months it was great. However, soon after, it started squeaking when getting on or off the bed. It's not too terribly annoying to where I'd like to return it or buy another, but just annoying enough to get on your nerves occasionally. It's held up well but the noise is the only reason I wouldn't give this 5 stars.

So i thought this bed was missing the wingnuts but i found them rattling around in the huge box with big holes in it from shipping. i dont know how they didnt get lost.assembly is quick. i cranked down the wing nuts with channel locks as well as i could. i didnt like how the middle part foldout legs didnt lock so i used some heavy duty cable ties to brace the legs on each side to each other. i suggest you do the same.i do not have a memory foam mattress and if you have a regular mattress it will be very uncomfortable. right now i am using my boxspring with the mattress and the bed goes up to my crotch. I'm not complaining. it does feel more solid than my other bed frame, so i am going to go with this until i get a memory foam mattress.regarding squeaking and noise, i do not have any noise. maybe these people are not tightening their wingnuts enough or maybe it's because i cable tied the two side to each other.this model goes under many names on amazon and on other sites. it's good for a guest bed. it will assemble in 5 mins or less.---update---now it is making creaking noises. this must be a design flaw of the mattress supports.i dont move much so it doesnt bother me. it does creak like people are reporting.

I bought one of these for my son's room in late 2014 - it JUST stopped 'off-gassing.' There is nothing else in the room remotely new or synthetic that could cause this smell. I had to leave the windows open much more than I cared to, to get the smell to air out over the first year.I bought six more for a rental property I own, a year later, and they smelled quite strongly but not as bad.These are pretty comfortable (I like a soft bed, but firm-lovers have also applauded them), but do tend to sag pretty quickly and lose their shape. Best for kids or places you will be changing the mattresses after a couple of years. In our master, we have the ones that are mostly latex (from the same company), and are happy enough with them (European Sleep Works, based in Berkeley, sold us the best mattresses and pillows of our life).

I am not even certain I received the same item that I purchased.The bed was sealed well and unrolled well enough. 24hrs after unrolling....it was still underinflated in appearance. 1 week later...it is still a sub par bed. The edges never puffed up. It does NOT look like the bed in the picture. Has the appearance of a pillowtop...smells like pine and tree bark ( not horrid but not a nice scent) and it is also not particularly supportive.It has never been slept on as it is in our guest area. And really...guests would not be inclined to stay longer than 1 night on this " mattress".I have left 2 bad reviews in all my ...10? Years of shopping on amazon...THIS is bad review #2. I feel VERY guilty leaving this review but the mattress seems to be hit or miss...and the one I received was a definite miss.Amazon should discontinue offering this mattress for sale as it is not up to snuff with any company that may care for its clientele.

Reviews are unworthy to be trusted here. You need to get your hands on this product ***Before making a decision***...but that is not possible. My wife and I set out to get our small children twin mattresses that would be sufficient until they grow a bit older. We tried it out and was not satisfied with the quality and comfort of this mattress. Thickness was about 7" once you let them expand but materials having strings hanging and the choice of fabrics was not desirable for us. The size of the mattresses varied a bit so the Twin standard of 75' X 38 was not strictly adhered to...Sometimes smaller so you had gaps fitting furniture. I would not recommend this mattress for anyone wanting a higher quality standard.

I purchased this mattress for a 3yo toddler and it is just okay in terms of smell and comfort. Our mattress did not have a strong scent upon arrival. It is also soft (not hard at all as other reviews have mentioned). My main issue is that it is smaller than advertised size. There are 2 inch gaps around my son's twin size bed, which makes the mattress cover and sheets HUGE for the mattress. I wish I had not bought this and spent a bit more money to buy my son a decent mattress. Obviously, it is impossible to return this product since it comes vacuum sealed and once out of the box, there is no way you can find a box large enough to send it back.

As the previous reviews mentioned, everyone probably gets a different mattress and perhaps we were unlucky to have gotten a lower-end one.

This bed frame was pretty good at first but I have no idea where the "2400 lbs" rating comes from. I'm fat. I weigh about 360 lbs, and my ~80 pound dog sleeps on the same side of the bed as me so when you add in half the mattress weigh you might, at most, be talking about a combined 500 lbs or so. This "2400 lbs" bed frame couldn't stand up to that much weight. The crossbar on the middle support rods broke almost immediately, and I type this mere minutes after the crossbar on the end did the same. Both of them came apart at the welds. Neither time was there any impact on the frame, this most recent break happened while I was sitting upright in bed, with my dog at my feet, simply watching Netflix on my laptop. The bed frame is still usable but one side of it, the side that I sleep on, now shifts around in a way that makes me uncomfortable. I'll be buying a different frame, one that isn't rated for nearly as much weight but whose rating is hopefully at least accurate.If you're not obese this bed frame will probably work fine for you but if you, like me, came here hoping for a frame that could support your weight I suggest you look elsewhere.

We got this for our queen foam mattress in the guest room because we're renting and didn't want to buy a huge bedframe.It's easy to put together and convenient in that it folds, but unfortunately there's a super uncomfortable hump in the middle of the frame where the two sections meet. In the last 4 months we've had 3 people sleep on the bed, and ALL THREE have mentioned they can feel the hump in the middle protruding into the mattress! they have to sleep on only one side of the bed. (We have the 14" SmartBase Deluxe wired one, not the all-steel one.) Disappointing and we can't return because the time has passed. Thinking I can maybe lay some planks down to alleviate the hump, but we'll see...

Construction - okAssembly - easyInstallation with side rails - nightmareIf your bed has side rails it has a lip to catch slats and/or a box spring. The legs on the corners of this frame are inset to accommodate this lip. Someone was really thinking when they inset these legs and then this person got drunk after taking a couple of ambien. The legs in the center of the frame are part of the center hinge and flush with the edge of the frame (i.e. Not inset). This means that you can't put it inside the rails. I had to take a chisel and cut out enough wood to accommodate this added width. Those who said their frame fit inside the rails must have had a nonexistent lip inside the rails.Mattress installation - easy the height of the frame is about 4-6" lower than with slats and box spring which is good because its its low enough to not really need a bed skirt (i.e. The fram sits below the top lip of the side rails).Comfort - I'm not sure yet but you must buy a non slip pad to go between the frame and mattress. If not the mattress dances around on the frame of because it is so slick. In my opinion just frame should come with some sort of pad.Pics to come I'm a little hot from my effort on what should have been a 10-15min job.

This bed was great at first. I purchased it on December 9, 2014. It arrived on time and well packaged; all the pieces were there and assembly was a breeze. My husband and I are plus size people and we loved the fact that this bed claimed to be heavy duty and would support up to 2,400 lbs. At first it was wonderful, my husband, our dog and I slept wonderfully, but started noticing squeaking after a few months - nothing loud or obnoxious, but a definitely noticeable noise when rolling to get comfortable or getting in and out of bed. The squeaking wasn't too large of a concern as we were still sleeping comfortably. When it came time for us to move in early September, we pulled our mattress off of the frame and noticed that the thinner wire supports had bent and cracked in places and had even torn the bottom of our memory foam mattress. We were able to straighten these wires and put our mattress back on it, but now less than a month later the entire side has warped and bent to the floor. We come nowhere near the 2,400 lb weight limit - we barely max out 500 and that's WITH our 90 lb dog sleeping with us. There is no reason that less than a year after my initial purchase I should have to be replacing this frame - yet here I am. These frames definitely do not stand up to the test of time.

Rock solid frame that holds my big butt up (380lbs). No squeaking. Virtually no more back pain after sleeping on my mattress which was directly on the floor because there is a tiny bit of give now. Overall, very happy with the product. Will update in 6 months to see how the shape holds up to my weight :)UPDATE: 08/08/2016Figured it was time for an update. Bed had some noticeable sags after about a month of use. Can definitely feel the center bar through the mattress. Besides the sagging of the thin metal wire, one or two of them broke at the weld/joint. This bed is supposed to be able to handle my weight (down to 350lbs) but really hasn't. Boxed it up after 2-3 months as it just wasn't working for me. It still has a few positives though. It never squeaked when I used it. It didn't collapse (yay!), and it was a good height when you use it without a box spring. I'm sure if i tried to warranty it they'd want me to return it and I'm just too lazy to do that. New score = 2/5 instead of 5/5. Might add some pictures at a later date.

**UPDATE** This thing is LOUD! I tried to WD-40 it to no avail. Nothing keeps this thing from squeaking. When my cat jumps on the bed it squeaks, so I know it's not just me! Unless they fix it I don't think I could recommend this frame. I contacted the seller and they said there's nothing they could do about it and just to deal with it. I was a bit shocked they didn't even want to TRY to rectify the issue.This bed frame is awesome, super light, easy to move (if you need it to) and very sturdy. I'm a bigger dude, and my fiancee and I are no match for this thing.The only issues are when it showed up, the box was pretty beat, and there were holes in the package. This isn't the sellers fault, it's the carriers but good information to have. There was a hole that was punched through the cardboard which cause a few bars to be slightly bent, but I bent them back without an issue.The other thing is that it's really squeaky! Not a little bit, but a lot a bit! I'm not talking about naughty time, I'm talking about all the time. Rolling over causes this thing to make soo much noise it's crazy! I still need to spray some WD40 on it to make it less noisy, but if that's the only issue I'll take it.

I bought the set of two mattresses for my son's bunk bed. They are extremely firm. It doesn't seem to bother him, because he is only 3 and weighs 33 pounds, but for anyone of normal weight/size, it is like sleeping on a board. They each came rolled up like a sleeping bag for packaging, and it says to let them sit out to slowly gain their true shape. We’ve been using this for 4 months now, and neither mattress ever gained its shape on the corners. Some corners came close to looking normal, but most every corner completely sags down and it looks really bad/cheap. They are also REALLY heavy, from being all foam I suppose, which isn’t a big deal until you try changing the sheets on the bed and have to lift it up around the corners and edges. It’s a real challenge and makes me dread changing the sheets because of the hassle. Because they are foam, there is pretty much NO air circulation. My son is often sweaty on the whichever side of his body that was next to the mattress. I’ve fallen asleep a couple of times with him in the bed, and when I wake up my back is KILLING ME and I’m all sweaty from whichever side I was sleeping on. I don’t have any issue at all with my own mattress, as far as waking up in pain or sweat, so I know it’s the foam mattress. That last annoying thing I can say about these is that they don’t really fit in the frame of his standard twin bunk bed, both of them are too small and it leaves a significant opening between the mattress and the frame on all sides. I really have nothing positive to say about these other than they are inexpensive for being “mattresses”. No way I would ever buy these again and I will need to buy new ones as soon as I have the money. I will be opting for box springs next time for the comfort and breathability and correct shape.

DO NOT BUY!! There is no way this would look like the picture- the bed is not expanding it has been 2 1/12 days . I purchased the Twin/Full combo and it came rolled in one box (I am fine with that- I purchased a spring quilted mattress for my son and it was AWESOME- packaged the same way). After opening them, the mattresses failed to fully decompress. The corners are flat STILL and places in the middle -.... again 2 1/2 days taking up room in the house.I would not purchase this item. I may seek out another spring mattress instead. That fully decompressed in seconds... but never again just a foam mattress. HOW did this get 4 1/2 stars?????Amazon was great for my refund and for the customer service rcvd.

I bought two of these mattresses 2 years ago and they are amazing they were 5 star mattresses for the price. So when I had to buy a mattress for another bed I immediately purchased this one again. It is not even close to the original ones I purchased it stiff, smaller, and uncomfortable. I'm very upset and just want what I thought I was purchasing in the first place.

After reading the reviews I opted in and purchased this mattress. From the description and other reviews I had thought that this was a a mid-firm mattress. However, after 2 months of use I noticed that the mattress sagged in the middle. I'm not a small person and at 180 lbs and 6 ft I assumed the depression was in bed frame, nope. After moving the mattress to the floor the depression was still just as visible and discernible when laying on the mattress on the floor. Flipped it over but nothing worked. As I had already missed the return date, I took my trusty fillet knife and peered in, like a magician, I had cut it in twade. Here are the measurements that I took of both the egg crate height and the total height to the tops of the egg crate. Side measurements taken 10 inches in from the edge and center measures are from center... First Picture, Side from bottom of mattress to egg crate peaks approx: 6.25 in. Second Picture, Center of mattress measuring from the bottom to the peaks approx: 5.75 in. Third pic. Center of mattress measuring only peak height of the egg crate approx: 1.75 in. Side measure of egg crate only 2.125 in. Adhering to the scientific method I made sure that the mattress was not used for one week and placed vertically on edge when measuring to nullify any anomalies caused by gravity or an uneven surface. These measurements are relatively close but if the foam has degraded that quick (3 month period) I can assure you that you will feel a drastic amount of sag in the mattress. If you have back problems I would not but this mattress. As such, I have purchased a different mattress from a local retailer and could not be happier with my choice to slice and dice this over priced piece of foam. Also, I used some of the foam to make a plush dog bed. Yes I'm out a chunk of money, but damn it fells good to be a Gangster ( addendum... Magician).Hope this is helpful. Cheers!

The foam is comfortable and expands as stated in the product info, but got deshaped in a couple of days. Part of the neck support material has stretched and i can feel bumps in it. Didn't expect this to happen so soon! See the attached picture.

Extremely disappointed with this purchase. I read all the reviews before purchasing this, reviewers said it was perfect for young children or guest bedrooms. I purchased this mattress for my three-year-old son who has a bed that does not need a box spring. I opened up the box and packaging, and let the mattress inflate for about 24 hours. At the end of the 24 hours, I noticed that the matches was not 7 inches thick. I placed it on my sons bed and by the third night he slept on it, it was already beginning to Divet in the middle. No doubt, I will definitely have to buy him a regular mattress soon. I do not recommend this mattress if it is going to get any kind of regular use, even if it is for a child. It would probably work just fine in a guestroom.

After one year of use this bed collapsed under my son when I sat on it. He did not abuse it. He's big, but he's not overweight.I called Zinus customer support and they told me to send an email to their customer support line with proof of payment and pictures of the bed to claim the warranty. I did just that several times with zero response from them. All of the support members are bent out of shape to some degree as you can see in the pictures.

Awful. Just awful. The entire mattress slips and slides off of this frame. The mattress will not stay in place and the entire things moves every time you go on or off of it. It's terrible. I bought this as well as the zinus mattress and I wish someone would have written an honest review. Not sure if all of the reviews are from zinus employees but it's been beyond a nightmare. Not to mention the price changes that continue to happen daily on their products with absolutely no help from Amazon. Run don't walk away from these products. I'm out close to $500 total and I won't see a dime of it back. Will have to go buy a traditional bed frame, box spring and mattress now.

This thing is super easy to set up and is a cheap solution for a California king memory foam mattress. It does make a good bit of noise and broke after about 6 months. I shored it up with some brackets but the other leg broke off and the frame bent. If you plan on *moving around* on your bed get something more sturdy.

Its a great concept but after only using it for 6 weeks, the new mattress we purchased to use with it now sags on each side. The additional support where the two pieces connect obviously doesn't have any give, but each side does. At the end of the day I now have a brand new mattress that sinks on each side with a lump down the center. Since I can't return this item (30 day policy which doesn't seem sufficient for this type of product) or even find a place to contact someone, this is my only avenue to let the seller know of my problem. I am now out the money for this 'foundation' because I can't use it for fear of ruining another mattress, the money for the new mattress we bought to go with it, and the cost of buying a new bed set to replace this mess.

Well this POS Frame only lasted 5 months before the middle brace broke completely off. Cheap material and terrible welding is what caused this. Like always, you get what you pay for. All 4 welds Broke .... Complete Junk !

I bought this bed for our Casper mattress and after the 1st month it started squeaking so we returned it and got another of the same bed, hoping it was just that defective one. Well it's been 3 months now and it's squeaking worse than ever. I hate it. I will never ever buy a bed like this again.
