Overview
A 5 inch tall metal box spring foundation from Amazon Basics sized for a full mattress at 74 by 53 inches. It assembles without tools and is built to pair with spring, memory foam, latex or hybrid mattresses.
Amazon Basics rates the full size, like queen, king and California king in this line, to hold up to 700 lbs total across the frame, capped at 350 lbs per sleeper, while the twin size is rated lower at 350 lbs total. The horizontal steel slats carry the load, and a two-piece zip cover comes off for spot cleaning.
- 74 x 53 x 5 inch full size foundation
- 700 lb total weight capacity, 350 lb per person max
- Tool-free interlocking steel slats
- Removable zip cover
Who it's for
Fits anyone replacing an aging box spring under a full size mattress who wants tool-free setup and compatibility across mattress types. Not for other bed sizes, since this listing is full only.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Tool-free, interlocking assembly
- Works under spring, memory foam, latex and hybrid mattresses
- Removable two-piece zip cover for spot cleaning
- 700 lb total weight rating on full size
- Full size only in this listing
- 5 inch height may sit low compared to a taller box spring

Performance notes
Support comes from interlocking steel slats rather than a solid deck or springs, which is why it works under memory foam and latex mattresses as well as innerspring. The weight rating, 700 lbs total and 350 lbs per person on full and larger sizes, covers the mattress plus sleepers combined, not the mattress alone.
