Know before you buy
No, the Eastman platform base is designed to support your mattress directly. The integrated slat roll provides the necessary structure, so you do not need to purchase a separate foundation.
Most mattress manufacturers require a specific slat spacing to maintain warranty coverage. With a 2.9-inch gap between slats, this base meets the standard requirements for most modern mattress brands.
Yes, this base is specifically designed to pair with the Malouf Hennessey and Carlisle headboards. Please note that these headboards are sold separately.
The Eastman platform base is built for durability and supports a total weight capacity of 800 pounds, including the weight of the mattress and the sleepers.
The base provides 4 inches of clearance beneath the frame. While this is enough space for low-profile items, it is best suited for a sleek, low-to-the-ground aesthetic rather than heavy-duty underbed storage.
The frame includes reinforced center support bars specifically engineered to prevent sagging and provide stability across the entire surface, ensuring consistent support for two sleepers.
