Solid and Attractive Bed Frame

We’re enjoying the Saturna bed frame so far. It’s quite heavy and it doesn’t creak at all so you can tell it’s well made. I would suggest re-tightening the bolts after the first couple of weeks and periodically after that.

Sweet dreams!

We chose this frame as we upgraded to a king and don’t currently have lots of extra room for a large frame with headboard. It came packaged very well and was super easy to put together. It is very sturdy, has a beautiful finish on the bamboo and a bonus for us is that it blends right in with our current bedroom suite. Initially I worried that not having a headboard might be hard to get used to, but it hasn’t. Bought with the Goldstream 9” hybrid, latex topper and pillows. Our initial shipment was slower to arrive than the original commitment but customer service has been very responsive and we are very happy with our Fawcett purchases and the quality of the products.

Another great purchase from Fawcett!

We needed to update our bed base and this foundation was exactly what we were looking for! We bought this in November 2024 and, as usual, Fawcett was delightful to work with on the purchase, delivery and set up. This new foundation is supportive, looks really nice (way better than our old metal frame!) and was an excellent price point

Perfect frame

We love our studio bed frame. No shin bashing and no toe stubbing! It's super sturdy, no wobbling or creaking. And we love the height of it. Highly recommend!

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of mattress is best for a slatted base?

Latex and hybrid mattresses work best with slatted bases, allowing for proper support, breathability, and longevity.

Can any mattress go on a slatted base?

Most modern mattresses (Queen and King sizes) are compatible, but innerspring mattresses may require additional support due to gaps between slats.

Is a slatted base better?

Yes, slatted bases provide better airflow, longevity, and ergonomic support than traditional box springs.

Can you put a mattress directly on wood slats?

Yes, but ensure the adjustable slats are spaced evenly (no more than 3 inches apart) for optimal mattress support.

Are curved or flat bed slats better?

Flat slats provide consistent support, while curved slats offer slight flexibility, adjusting to body weight and movement.

Do I need a box spring if I have slats?

No, slatted bases eliminate the need for a box spring, as they provide direct, stable support.

Should you put plywood over bed slats?

Plywood can be used for extra firmness but reduces breathability.

What is a platform bed frame, and can it support a slatted base?

A platform bed frame provides a sturdy foundation without needing a box spring. Many platform bed frames are designed to accommodate a slatted base for better mattress support.

Are metal platform beds compatible with wooden slats?

Yes, a metal platform bed can often support wooden slats or a solid slatted base. However, the frame's design must be checked to ensure proper mattress support and weight distribution.

What is the difference between a solid wood base and a slatted base?

A solid wood bed typically features a continuous wooden surface or a reinforced base. In contrast, a slatted base consists of spaced wood slats that improve breathability and flexibility for the mattress.
