Product Insights
Simons Maison's Minimalist Platform Bed Frame Queen Size ($798, in stock) delivers a cohesive Scandinavian look with its built-in headboard and low 8-inch profile, while properly fastened central supports prevent sagging—unlike some competitors. However, buyers report difficult assembly requiring two people, limited under-bed storage due to the low profile, and undisclosed slat spacing critical for memory foam; the material is listed as wood but one buyer describes it as MDF with a thin veneer. Though priced higher than comparable Canadian solid-wood alternatives ($400-700), the frame is designed and made in Quebec under stricter safety and craftsmanship standards.
Verified claims
- Assembly effort
- Reviewers report assembly is more involved than the quick-assembly description implies, with one calling it 'very involved' and another saying it was 'a bit difficult.'
- Appearance
- Buyers report the bed frame looks as described.
- Material
- Listed as wood, but one buyer reports it feels like MDF with a thin veneer.
- Central support
- Built-in central supports are designed to resist the center sag common in engineered-wood platform beds, unlike some Structube frames in a similar price range that have drawn reports of stapled centre supports failing.
- Price value
- At $798, comparable Canadian solid-wood alternatives cost $400-700.
- Design
- Built-in headboard with straight lines and an 8-inch low profile create a cohesive minimalist Scandinavian look with a relaxed, serene, elegant mood.
- Manufacturing
- Designed and made in Quebec, with stricter safety and craftsmanship standards.
- Made in Quebec
- Made in Quebec rather than overseas; for shoppers who value local production, this offers a domestic manufacturing story and potentially shorter lead times than mass-import options.
- Clearance
- The queen frame measures 87 inches long x 72 inches wide x 8 inches high; its low profile suits small rooms and a Scandinavian look but leaves limited under-bed storage.
- Slat spacing
- Slat spacing undisclosed; memory foam requires ≤3 in. spacing.
- Frame construction
- Central supports for sag prevention are present, but slat spacing and engineered wood type are undisclosed.
- Headboard height
- The 8-inch measurement refers to the platform height, not the built-in headboard; the headboard’s actual height is not specified in the product listing.
- Material feel
- One reviewer describes the frame as feeling like MDF with a thin wood veneer, very light, and not sturdy enough for confidence in long-term use, and expects it may need replacement within a year.
- Hardwood floor stability
- No felt or rubber pads are included; a reviewer reports the bed slides easily on hardwood and the base makes a loud hollow sound when bumped, so hardwood floors need a rug or aftermarket non-slip grippers.
- Inner mattress lip edge
- The frame's inner edge around the mattress is squared, not rounded; a reviewer found it uncomfortable when tucking in sheets, and the specific lip height is not disclosed.

Anchoring a minimalist bedroom refresh
For shoppers restyling a bedroom around a clean, understated look, this queen platform bed frame serves as a minimalist centerpiece, with a built-in straight-line headboard evoking Scandinavian chic and a crafted wood grain finish. Reviewers report the frame delivers the clean look promised online, making it a visually rewarding pick for style-focused setups.[1]
Setting up a queen bed without a box spring
This platform bed frame is designed to hold a queen-size mattress on its slatted base with a central support beam, so no box spring is needed. Its built-in flat headboard and dark wood-grain finish suit a minimalist Scandinavian-style bedroom. Note that with only early reviews available, long-term durability under nightly use is unproven, which some shoppers may weigh less heavily for a guest bedroom or low-traffic setup.[1,2]
Setting up this queen platform bed frame
This frame comes with the hardware and instructions needed for assembly, which the seller characterizes as quick and easy. Customer reviews summarized in our analysis describe the assembly as very involved and difficult, especially for first-timers, so plan to set aside ample time and have a second person on hand. Those reviews suggest experienced flat-pack builders may find the process easier.[1]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Minimalist Platform Bed Frame Queen Size: Choose this if you want a clean, Scandinavian-style minimalist platform bed for a queen mattress — reviewers report it matches the product images and earns praise for its look, and it needs no box spring thanks to its slatted base with central support. It comes in Black, Medium Brown Wood, and Light Brown Wood finishes and is designed and made in Quebec (hardware imported). Note that assembly is reported as very involved and difficult, so set aside ample time with a second person, and one reviewer found the material to be MDF with a thin veneer rather than solid wood, which may disappoint buyers who value natural materials.[1,2] | Walnut Platform Bed Frame Queen Size: Choose this if you want a queen-size platform bed with a sleek, modern walnut finish for a Scandinavian-inspired bedroom, since its horizontal-slat headboard and warm medium-dark stain suit that look. It supports a queen mattress on 12 wood slats with central support and a stated 600 lb capacity, so no box spring is needed. Note that it requires assembly, and its frame is built from solid wood combined with engineered materials (LVL and MDF), with dimensions of about 63.25 inches wide, 84.5 inches long, and 47 inches tall.[3,4] | Black Platform Bed Frame Queen Size: Choose this if you want a queen-size platform bed with a modern, Scandinavian-inspired look, featuring an openwork vertical-slat headboard, black wooden tapered legs, and a low-profile frame suited to a queen mattress (not included) with no box spring required. Its base of 12 wood slats with central support offers added comfort and a 600 lb capacity, in an engineered wood and solid wood construction. Note that assembly is required (hardware and instructions included), and this item cannot be shipped to Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, or the Magdalen Islands.[5] |

look nice but doesn't feel nice
it looks nice but I feel you'd want a carpet underneath. It slides easily on hardwood and bumping into the base makes a loud hollow sound. I wish the edge on the inner part of the frame was rounded so putting on bed sheets wasn't so uncomfortable. Assembly is very involved, hopefully won't need to disassemble anytime soon. Only had it a bit over a week so will see how it holds up
Overall Ok
The bed frame looks nice overall, but the quality is disappointing for the price. The description listed it as 100% wood, but it feels more like MDF with a thin wood veneer. The material is very light and doesn’t seem very sturdy — it feels like it could break easily with regular use. Visually it’s appealing, but I expected much higher quality and durability given the cost. I suspect we will need to replace it within a year’s time if not sooner. Not worth the price, but sure, looks nice. Wouldn’t purchase again.
Good bed
Looks as described on the site, but assembly was a bit difficult
