A bed frame characterized by its elevated, horizontal surface designed to support a mattress directly, without the need for a box spring. This construction often incorporates a series of slats or a solid surface, providing a firm and even foundation for sleep. An example would be a low-profile wooden structure with evenly spaced wooden slats supporting a memory foam mattress.
These bed frames offer a number of advantages, including enhanced mattress support, a streamlined aesthetic, and potential cost savings by eliminating the need for a box spring. Historically, simpler versions of this type of bed frame have been used in various cultures as a practical and space-efficient sleeping solution. Contemporary iterations often incorporate storage drawers or integrated headboards, further enhancing their functionality.
