How a Center Support Bed Frames Works

Frames that have center support can be both Bolt up or hook in connections. What center support does is keep a boxspring correctly supported so that it will not start to sway or sag from time and weight. This is something that every manufacturer requires to validate their warranty which is often 10 years or greater.

An important tip to remember is that if the bed frame is being used daily it is best to look for sturdier frames as an alternative of cheaper prices. Remember this Important Tip: Steel is sold by the pound and cheaper frames often have less steel making them weaker and more vulnerable to failure. Having to buy a replacement frame doesn’t save you the consumer a dime and only puts money in the pockets of frame builders and bed frame retailers. Look for models with bigger angle iron and stronger feet. Avoid 1 ¼ angle iron or smaller for anything but spare bedroom usage. Another shopping tip and rule of thumb is to look for companies that explain frame construction in a way you can understand and avoid those that only focus on price and savings. Such advice will likely cost you more than a few dollars more and will support you for years to come.
