Do Adjustable Beds Fit Inside a Bed Frame?

How to Fit for Each Type of Bed Frame
- Platform: A platform bed frame for adjustable beds needs a special frame to fit on a platform bed. This is considered to be a “zero clearance adjustable bed “. A zero clearance adjustable bed is built to be on a platform bed. This means that the zero clearance frame will fit on platform bed. What makes an adjustable bed a perfect fit is its aesthetic thinness. Adjustable beds will also only lay right on top of platform bed slates.
- Sleigh Beds: There are a few different ways to fit an adjustable bed inside a sleigh bed. Most sleigh beds have slats or a platform where the mattress rests. The most recommended type of bed for this purpose is a zero-clearance adjustable bed, which can lay on top of the slats or platform. However, you will need to remove the slats if you want the adjustable bed to fit inside the frame. Removing the slats means the bed frame’s legs will be exposed, which some people may find unappealing.
- Traditional Bed: A traditional bed frame can fit an adjustable bed inside by removing the box foundation and placing the adjustable bed inside the frame. The base will fit within the headboard, side rails, and footboard since adjustable beds are designed to fit inside traditional style frames.
Considerations
Adjustable beds can fit inside most bed frames, and there are special types of adjustable beds designed to fit inside platform and sleigh beds. For traditional frames, any adjustable bed will fit, while platform and sleigh beds require a zero-clearance bed frame.
