Know before you buy

Yes, you can customize the bed to include integrated storage solutions. Options include a platform base with built-in drawers or a trundle, which are excellent for maximizing functionality in smaller bedrooms.
The requirement for a box spring depends on your chosen configuration. If you select the standard frame, you will typically need a box spring or foundation, whereas the platform bed option is designed to support a mattress directly.

The King size frame measures 80¾ inches wide by 87 inches long. We recommend measuring your bedroom floor space to ensure you have adequate clearance for walking around the bed once it is assembled.
