Bed Frame For Heavy People
Standard frames are traditionally built for an adult couple of average body weight size. At STL Beds your special request bed frame is not a special order and is in stock.
One of our most common requests is for a heavy-duty bed frame to support large people, which often require additional support and strength. Standard bed frames on rug rollers, although convenient just do not make the grade for larger people. At STL Beds we have found that soft side waterbed frames fit the bill. Because these stronger support structures will support a waterbed and is designed to support well over 2 thousand pounds it will easily handle the task of a regular mattress and box spring.
Most heavy-duty steel waterbeds can have up to 12 legs instead of 4 to 6, which are the norm on standard bed frames. Additionally steel waterbed frames are often made heavier gage steel for added strength. Another nice feature about these frames is that they can also be used just like a conventional frame. A person can use with most any headboard or headboard and footboard combination. These frames are easy and quick to assemble, most are not adjustable, and usually bolt together with strong nuts, bolts, and lock washers.
One of the biggest advantages to the beefed up frame is the flat padded feet instead of rollers, which can break, split, or roll out of position. Frames that won’t roll out of position are frequent requests by people with special needs or the elderly. Waterbed frames are significantly more stable, allowing people in wheel chairs or crutches easier access to their bed. In 24 years we have not seen a waterbed frame collapse.
Most major manufactures such as Leggett, Platt and Glideaway make complete lines of waterbed frames which can be used free standing, metal headboards, and even wood headboards. Waterbed frames can also be used with any type of mattress including airbeds, latex, memory foam and spring. They usually assemble with screws instead of key slots and pins, which can slip apart collapsing the bed. Waterbed frames usually cost a mere 15 to 20 percent more than a conventional a frame, which makes them a real value when all their benefits are considered.
