Mainstays Gray Tufted Platform Bed vs Best Price Mattress 14" Metal Platform Bed Frame
Pick the Mainstays if you want a finished-looking bedroom piece: the tufted upholstered headboard and padded frame hide the hardware and give the bed a soft, modern look. Pick the Best Price Mattress frame if you want maximum under-bed clearance and a simple steel build that goes together without tools. Both are King platforms that skip the box spring, and both rate in the low 4s from thousands of owners. The trade-off is style and padding versus open storage space and a bare-bones metal frame.
- Choose the Mainstays if you want an upholstered headboard and a bed that looks finished without extra furniture.
- Choose the Best Price Mattress if you want 12 inches of under-bed storage and a tool-free steel frame.
