Althea White Queen Metal Bed

Yes, this bed is designed to be used with both a mattress and a foundation (or box spring), which are sold separately. Utilizing a high-quality foundation is essential as it provides the necessary flat, sturdy surface to prevent mattress sagging and warping. Following our expert recommendations for proper support also ensures you maintain the full protection of your mattress warranty.

For a silent sleep experience, we recommend ensuring all bolts are tightened firmly during the initial assembly. Because metal can naturally expand and contract with temperature changes, a quick seasonal check to re-tighten the hardware will maintain the frame's integrity. The sturdy metal construction and cylindrical bun feet provide a stable, balanced foundation that minimizes movement and noise.

This bed is ideally suited for smaller rooms or urban apartments thanks to its "open frame" headboard and spindle design. Unlike solid upholstered beds that can act as a visual block, the airy spindle construction allows light to pass through and keeps the line of sight open. This design technique creates the illusion of more floor space, making your bedroom feel larger and more expansive.

To preserve the pristine white powder-coated finish, our care guides recommend dusting regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a soft cloth dampened with a solution of mild soap and water, then dry immediately. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive pads, as these can compromise the protective powder coating and dull the finish over time.

This bed is an excellent choice for high-humidity areas. It is crafted with a powder-coated finish, a process that creates a much tougher and more resilient barrier than standard paint. This specialized coating is specifically designed to protect the metal frame from moisture, making it highly resistant to rust and corrosion in coastal or tropical environments.
