Overview

A 9 inch metal box spring foundation from Zinus in queen size, built around a steel interior frame with a poly jacquard fabric cover and tool-free locking brackets for assembly.

This is a foundation meant to sit under a mattress on an existing bed frame, not a standalone bed, and Zinus notes weight capacity differs by size: 350 lbs for Twin and Twin XL, 700 lbs for larger sizes including this queen. It's built to pair with Zinus mattresses and bed frames, with other brands needing a dimension check first.

  • 9 inch queen box spring
  • Steel interior frame, poly jacquard cover
  • Tool-free locking bracket assembly
  • 700 lb weight capacity (queen)

Who it's for

Right for someone replacing or adding a foundation under a queen mattress on a bed frame they already own, especially if it's a Zinus frame or mattress. Not a fit for platform beds or frames that already include their own support surface.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Tool-free locking bracket assembly
  • 700 lb weight capacity in queen size
  • 5-year limited warranty on the box spring
Cons
  • Requires a separate bed frame, sold separately
  • Confirm dimensions before pairing with non-Zinus items

Performance notes

The steel frame inside carries the weight rating up to 700 lbs for queen and other non-Twin sizes, and the tool-free locking brackets are meant to let the pieces click together without a full bolt assembly. A bed frame is still required underneath it, since the box spring is a foundation rather than a freestanding base.
