It provides support for the mattress, so no foundation or box spring is required, and it has the rigid surface and legs like that as of a bed frame. If you want to add a foundation, you can do that as well. With ample storage space beneath and caps on the legs to protect your floor, this is a perfect solution to support any type of mattress. Benefits of Hercules Platform Heavy Duty Metal Bed Frame/Foundation The Classic Brands Hercules Platform Heavy Duty Metal Bed Frame/Mattress Foundation is a great alternative to a traditional mattress foundation. The metal bed frame replaces a traditional box spring, giving your bed a more modern look while creating more room for under bed storage. All standard bed sizes are available, and the metal frame can support any type of mattress - memory foam, latex, or innerspring. It also prevents sagging and increases the longevity of a mattress. The metal foundation has a sleek, contemporary look while providing the ultimate allover support for your mattress with 12 points of contact to the floor. Easy Assembly The quad-folding metal box spring is easy to assemble; it can be put together in minutes and no tools are needed for assembly. Just unpack, assemble the frame and attach the hardware and you are ready to place your mattress on top: Step 1- Take all components out of the box and position them on the floor Step 2- Unfold each half and lay flat Step 3- Raise all six legs to the upright position. Each of the four end legs has separate support arms Step 4- Rotate the support arms to hook onto the bolts and tighten with installed wing nuts Step 5- Flip the base over to stand upright. Position the two halves together with keyhole locked in place Step 6- Put your mattress (and foundation if you please) on top and enjoy! Get it Right the First Time It is also a good idea to check the size and the height of your mattress to make sure you are ordering the correct size. Keep in mind that you should combine the height of the frame, foundation (if you are adding one), and the mattress to get a gauge of the how tall your bed will be.
