101 on ordering beds

OK, for most beds ( and I mean the bed itself not the mattress) you will need a standard mattress and box spring.
Most beds are broken down into 3 components, headboard, foot board and rails ( they are always a pair not separate)

If it is a platform bed the rails will usually be part of the foot board frame and the headboard separate.

Remember to always check with us if you only want a headboard, not all companies will make their headboards compatible with standard bedframs

For platform beds a box spring is not required, only if it has rails and slats.

Always remember that mattress are much thicker than they used to be, 12" to 14".

Usually and a standard box springs will be 9" high ( a low profile box spring will be 5").
So when ordering a bed take into account how high the headboard is and how thick the mattress and box spring will be.
I have had members who now only can see 3"of the top of their headboard because they did not check height.
