You can probably buy a nice bed frame for $50 on CL or other. My wife just made me buy some brand name hardwood bedroom set for something like $1,000, used. I didn't know a headboard could be so heavy. Took me and another guy huffing and puffing to get it loaded onto my trailer. One of the 2 tie-down straps broke on I-5 due to the harmonic vibration in the strap and rubbing on the wood. Somehow the straps stayed on the trailer and I was able to tie them back together and continue on.
This morning we received our king mattress in a box. Coil mattress with a layer of memory foam... same $333 price delivered. I wanted to find a regular used mattress since they can be had from free to $50. Oh well, this one seems like it will probably work fine.
I prefer beds to be up high, the higher the better. This new frame is too low to get much under the bed for storage, and it's too heavy and nice looking to build a janky platform. I want a boxspring, but those seem not popular now, and I'm not sure I could navigate the corners to get it in the room anyhow.
