It’s one of our most common questions and the answer is: It depends...
Assess bedframe you currently have:
- If you have a regular headboard, footboard, and rails, with just the slats going across it, absolutely. The answer is yes, and most of the time an adjustable base can fit inside the bed frame on its own legs. Simply remove the slats inside of your bed frame and put the adjustable base inside.
- Do you have a platform bed? Usually, the answer is no. One of the reasons is because not all adjustable bases are a zero clearance. With zero clearance, when I adjust the feet up high, a lot of times, the legs will come down, and then it will hit the frame that's underneath.
Also, platform beds generally sit a lot higher than a regular bed frame. So by the time that you put an adjustable base on top of it, you're going to be literally climbing into your mattress, and you'll need a pole vault to get inside.
Summary:
Regular/Traditional Bedframes (Headboard/Rails/Slats) = YES
Platform Beds with Storage Underneath = NO
Platform Beds without Storage = Possibly, but most likely NO
