Which is better for a heavy sleeper?

The Zinus Suzanne, because it publishes a 700 lb limit. The Laurel Foundry listing gives no weight capacity, so you cannot confirm it will hold a heavy mattress and sleeper.

Do either need a box spring?

The Zinus does not; its slats support the mattress directly. The Laurel Foundry includes slats, but its listing does not say whether a box spring is required.

Neither listing gives a warranty or lifespan figure. The Laurel Foundry has 4.6 out of 5 from 1,800 ratings, which is the stronger owner track record. The Zinus has a published 700 lb capacity, which suggests a sturdier build.

Is the Laurel Foundry worth the extra?

Only if you want the black metal farmhouse look and value its 4.6 rating. The Zinus gives you a wood headboard and footboard, four sizes and a stated weight limit, often for less.

Which is easier to assemble?

The Zinus listing says two people can assemble it in under an hour with numbered parts and included tools. The Laurel Foundry listing gives no assembly details.

Can I get the Laurel Foundry in a king?

No. The Laurel Foundry is listed in queen only. The Zinus comes in twin, full, queen and king.
