ZINUS 5 Inch Metal Smart Box Spring / 700 lbs Mattress Foundation / Strong Metal Frame / Easy Assembly, Queen

I purchased the ZINUS 5 Inch Metal Smart Box Spring over two years ago, and it has proven to be an excellent investment for my bed setup. Here are my thoughts on this product based on my experience: Pros: Easy to Assemble: The assembly process was incredibly straightforward. The box spring came with clear instructions and all the necessary tools, allowing me to put it together in about 30 minutes without any hassle. The parts fit together perfectly, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. Lightweight: Despite its sturdy construction, the box spring is relatively lightweight. This made it easy to maneuver and position in my bedroom. It's a great option for those who might need to move it around or set it up alone. Durability: After two years of daily use, the ZINUS Metal Smart Box Spring is still going strong. There has been no noticeable wear or tear, and it continues to provide stable and reliable support for my mattress. The metal frame is robust and shows no signs of bending or sagging. Design: The 5-inch height is perfect for those who prefer a lower bed profile. It provides ample support without adding unnecessary height, maintaining a sleek and modern look. Cons: Aesthetic: While the metal frame is functional and sturdy, it might not appeal to everyone aesthetically. However, since it's typically covered by a bed skirt or mattress, this is a minor issue. In conclusion, the ZINUS 5 Inch Metal Smart Box Spring has been an excellent choice for my bed. Its ease of assembly, lightweight nature, and lasting durability make it a standout product. After two years, it continues to perform just as well as it did on day one. I highly recommend it to anyone in need of a reliable and straightforward box spring solution.

Worked out great for us! Love the low profile and how easy it was to assemble. The wood seems to be good quality

I bought this to lower our bed for easier access as we age. We replaced our 9" split king foundations with this one. I had to build it on the bed as we don't have enough spare floor space upstairs and didn't want to maneuver it up the stairs once built. It took me about an hour to assemble, move the mattress, remove the old foundations, and install this one. Pointers, based on previous reviews I have read: -Box was delivered directly by Amazon and was in good shape. No damage to internal parts. I can see how that would be different if it were handled by common carriers over several transfers. It's packaged more like a retail box than a shipping box. -Hardware is in a molded package and does contain a couple of spare parts. -The included tools are a joke. Thankfully I have plenty of tools and was able to use my own. If I remember correctly a 10mm box wrench and a 7mm allen socket made the job much easier. Careful though! I almost collapsed one of the tubes over-tightening a nut or two. This is because the included wrench is only about 4 inches long vs. the 8" wrench from my toolbox. -Part fitment was spot on. Everything was labelled correctly and fit the first time. -The cover. I have read numerous reviews about how hard this sucker is to put on so I prepared myself for a fight. What I discovered on unpacking it is that it has this handy little diagram on it showing the long side with a pictograph relating that to cross-member orientation. Good start! This makes it easy to orient after unzipping the bottom. Lined it up, pulled the bottom under and the top over. Lined up the corners, very easily, and started zipping. Zipped it all the way around with absolutely not issues at all. This was the easiest part of the entire process. I am glad I got one that fit well. YMMV. Time will tell how durable this is but it seems sturdy enough for our use.

Before I get into the review, it's important to know this product is NOT a box spring. It's a metal foundation. There is a difference between the two. You can Google it for more details but the traditional box spring actually contains spring coils similar to a mattress. The purpose of the box spring coils is that when paired with a mattress, it works to take in some of the shock from normal use, as well as serve to help limit any undo wear to the mattress. So with that said, this product is a FOUNDATION, not a box spring. Now that we have the product clarification out of the way, now for the actual review. Our soon-to-be 3 Y.O. has been sleeping in her toddler bed (converted from her crib) and thought it was time for her to move to a regular bed. She is potty trained and we decided there's really no reason to keep her in the toddler bed. Luckily our crib is a 4-in-1, with the last conversion being a full-size bed. After researching online, I found that getting a low-profile box spring is preferred for toddlers so they can get in & out of bed. Otherwise the size of a mattress + box spring + bed frame would be too high for her. I tried shopping for a low profile box spring locally at various mattress stores and couldn't find anything cheaper than over $100 (plus they wanted $50 for delivery). So I just ended up finding this product on Amazon along with the mattress. For those of you wondering, I paired it with this product: Home Life Harmony Sleep 8" Pocket Spring Luxury Mattress, Full, White . Assembly was easy and took about 15-20 minutes. The instructions just consisted of pictures, so you just match the pieces in the picture. One reason I am docking a star is because one of the support bars on one of the pieces welded incorrectly. It actually caused the piece to not match up with the bolt hole. I had to "bend" the piece in order for it to line up with the bolt hole. In addition, some spots of the metal where it wasn't coated (metal spots near the weld were exposed) showed signs of minor rust. With those issues aside, this product makes for a VERY STURDY foundation. Fully assembled, it does not bend at all and is a perfect platform for the mattress. I do like how the product comes with a cover (to make it appear like traditional box springs). I just hope that no one jumps on it when exposed because I distinctly remember jumping on the box springs when I was a kid. Otherwise they'll slip right through. Good product!

First impressions of this Zinus Smart Box Spring/Foundation are great! I purchased the full size, and just put it together by myself in about 30 minutes. It arrived in good condition with no damaged or bent parts, and everything fit together easily as it should have done. Instructions are diagrams, but are clear and easy to follow since all of the parts are labeled with numbers and "UP" to correctly orient them. The included ratcheting Allen wrench was helpful to get all of the bolts tightened. The cover goes on just like a fitted sheet with elastic around the bottom edges and gives the visible sides a nice finished upholstered look. It feels sturdy and fits very well in the frame of my antique bed. I love the low profile. The only down side: it was shipped USPS (rather than UPS or FedEx) and my local post office wouldn't deliver it because it was "oversized" and they labeled it "two person lift". I had to pick it up the day after I had expected delivery. It does come in a long box, but I carried it to my car by myself without a problem.

So as some have posted which I will agree with, frames are not perfect and some forethought is required. It goes together perfectly except one of the bars was smaller than the other and another was bent. So my remedy was to just bolt the bent side together and assemble it all as much as possible, when I got to the two bars where one was shorter than the other, I bolted the smallest one first and than the longer one with a little effort. Once it was all bolted together I just added a extra human to stand on opposite ends and it straightened itself out with no breaks. So assembled it the rest of the way, put it on the frame, threw the mattress on top and have not had a single issue past the assembly. Cheap, Easy to fix if you have to work it a little ( do not force, work it), sturdy, no noises on my end, fits my frame perfect and my mattress. Hope this works well for you as it has been for me. Cheers

I mean WOW...this company really blew me away. The product itself works great, does exactly what it's supposed to, and I'm 100% happy with it but what really took me by surprise was the level of care they put into packaging the product, offering support, and making it LITERALLY as easy as possible to put this thing together. As we all know, when putting together any furniture that comes in a box, it's 100% of the time a headache. It's never easy unless the product is cheap and had only a few parts anyway. The diagrams are a disaster, you can never find the piece you need, always need to find a tool to do it in the garage, sometimes you can't lift it because it's too heavy or cumbersome.....BUT.... THIS. WAS. NOT. THAT..... It was actually really nice and enjoyable to put this together. I've never said that about a product I've had to assemble before. They even included a perfect sized little wrench in the package so I didn't have to stress over the bolts. The diagram was so effortless to read that my dog could do it. Further more, they included a little note that stated "we feel pretty honored to be the newest part of your home. Thank you for putting us under the same roof with the things and the people you love the most. We don't take that lightly" and I was just so touched that they recognized that and even THANKED me for it. Everything about their product presentation felt genuine and like they really cared but my family getting the best sleep. I'm happy to support a business like that. Not to mention they included biodegradable "thank you" cards for me to send to whomever because they have a lot of extra paper and don't like wasting it so they give it back to their customers. I mean...cmon! Thoughtfulllllllllllll. Anyhow....buy this product, you won't be disappointed in any way. If anything, I think you'll be blown away.

So far, it is sturdy. I can't say how long it will last. The size of it is accurate to standard queen size. The height is a lot shorter than I thought, but I turns out I prefer that. The assembly instructions were incorrect on my manual. Luckily, it's a easy plug and go just by looking. It isn't heavy like traditional box springs and is pretty stable. It will slide if you do not have a bedframe.

Very easy to put together! Works as it's supposed to. Full size doesn't translate to 140X200. It's a bit short, but we have it on top of the flat bed slats to keep in place. Should sell in cm.

I will always buy this type of box spring from now on. A bit of pain to put together. But once you got it. It’s simple. Instructions could be better. However. Very sturdy. I don’t see it breaking like wood. And if you have tight spaces it will always fit in your room !

This was extremely easy to assemble, it comes with all the tools that you need to make is as simple as possible, could not have been easier from start to finish....(when you don't have "words" with your other half when doing a build it yourself project.....you know it was simple :) !!!) The boxspring is sturdy and fits perfectly.....not much else you can add as it is literally a boxspring and nothing too exciting!!!

Really enjoy that this is metal and not wood. It was quite easy to assemble! Some of the screws that were fused in already were stripped but it was still fine to assemble.

Very good box spring if you are looking for an affordable one you found it and it better that it's all one piece
