When we had a water bed, it sat on a heavy duty standard frame. When we got rid of the water bed we kept the frame and are still using it. If we ever get another new bed, we'll still keep the frame. This frame is both a standard size or a queen size. Neither my wife or I want a queen. She did want a head board so I said so go get one then. She said you don't care? Why would I care? Some men would. I'm not some men I pointed out. I'm me.
