It takes a skilled designer to make a metal bed look elegant rather than institutional, as exemplified in the Min Bed Frame (2003) by Luciano Bertoncini. The Min applies high-quality materials and expert construction to a basic slat platform, that will accommodate foam, buckwheat and coil mattresses and provide constant ventilation. The frame is made from extruded and die-cast aluminum, most visible on the snag-free rounded corners and legs that can happily be left exposed. A support bar runs down the center of the platform (excluding Twin bed) for even weight distribution. Durable wood slats are inset into the frame with rubber caps for increased flexibility. Mattresses sit directly on the slats, lying 2.5" below the frame. The platform system ships flat, but is easily assembled with only 16 screws (all hardware included). Platform is delivered in pieces for easy maneuvering through doors and hallways. Compatible with our Sonno mattresses. Made in Italy.
