I weight 250lbs Im 5ft. I need my bed off the ground now, I have major heel spurs. 2wks ago I ordered this and got injured before it arrived. I sprained my ankle and tore ligaments in my heel. I was on couch rest for 2wks and it should be 3. But my family put the frame together so, I crawled myself upstairs lol. Just to lay on this. I have a firm mattress for my back and neck. The frame MADE A DIFFERENCE. I didnt think a frame would honestly! I slept really good, and felt very comfortable. I love the simple look of it, and I love the platform style. Might consider adding a headboard to it at some point too, but love it overall. If you have a firm mattress, this frame is great for it especially.
