Zinus Quick Lock Metal Smart Box Spring

I spent so long researching my mattress purchase that what I was gonna put it on became an afterthought...until I read the mattress warranty and realized I could void it if I wasn't careful. Well, I had a problem. All I had was this expensive mattress and everyone online saying the best bedframes were solid wood with a center beam and many slats lined up close together. Well, that kind of quality is usually only sold in a full bedroom set, or along with the mattress purchase in a bundle. Whoops. Starting from scratch like I did, you have to know what the difference between a bedframe and a boxspring is, because lots of people (even the professionals) use the words interchangeably but in listings like this it is imperative to know that this is a boxspring that is supposed to go on top of a bedframe, and not all bedframes are made for boxsprings, such as platform bedframes that are made for a mattress only. Confused yet? I'm truly sorry. Long story short... if you buy this boxspring listing, build it, put it on the floor, then put your mattress on it, well the world won't end!! BUT your expensive mattress company might use it as an excuse to void the warranty. WITH THAT BEING SAID, this listing is not the only product I purchased. I also bought this same company's $40 bedframe that a boxspring is meant to be placed on top of. So I built THAT bedframe, then I built THIS listing's boxspring. The boxspring went on top of the bedframe, and the mattress went on top of the boxspring. See pictures if you're still confused. Now onto the actual product review... This product hits all the major points: there is a center beam and there are twice as many slats as other metal bedframes out there. Please understand that is why this listing costs twice as much as other listings. It is a justifiable price difference for twice the stability and material. The only point it doesn't hit is that metal isn't solid wood. Well, I didn't want to buy a solid wood monstrosity that would take forever to build and be impossible to move. I'm very happy with this purchase. The metal snaps into place just like the description says so it was super easy to build. I used the rubber grips that come with it on contact points that I was worried might end up squeaking. This company's other bedframe listing comes with the rubber grips too. It is a nice touch that shows they are directly responding to criticisms that wood is superior because it doesn't squeak. If anything breaks I will see if I can update this listing but so far I think the price was well worth the ease of installation and sturdiness of the final product. I hope this review helped someone like me who is trying not to void their mattress warranty!!
