Amazon Basics Metal Platform Bed Frame vs Zinus Armita 9 Inch Metal Platform Bed Frame, Queen

The Amazon Basics is the more versatile frame: it folds, comes in four sizes, offers underbed storage and a drawer option, and sits 14 inches high with a 500 lb capacity. The Zinus Armita is a lower, simpler 9-inch foundation that works as a box spring replacement. Buyers who want height, storage and a folding frame lean Amazon Basics; buyers who want a low, plain mattress base lean Zinus. Owners of both report solid steel construction and straightforward setup, though the Amazon Basics folding joints are the usual wear point.

• Choose the Amazon Basics if you want a taller frame with underbed storage, a folding design for small spaces, or a drawer option.
• Choose the Zinus Armita if you want a low 9-inch foundation to replace a box spring under a mattress.
