Si,
I have no idea; I'd say that it's 6 to 8 inches from the ground!
The problem is that my other half thinks that, due to the height of the frame,
his back is constantly hurting.
He tested his theory by sleeping on our son's bed, while we were out of town;
he has a captain's bed, and he slept very well!
So, this is why we're looking for a lower frame.
Ours can't be lowered because it has four wheels and a stablizer bar, in the
middle.

Claudia,
Sorry I ran across this after I posted my other response.
Now, what exactly is the problem with the current bed frame?
How high is the bottom of the box spring off of the floor currently?

The new bed will also be a queen, with both matress & box spring.

Claudia,
First question, what size is the new bed?
Second question, what type of bed is it, matress and box springs or some
sort of air bed?

Okay,
I need some explanation here.
We have a queen-sized bed that sits on a metal frame with wheels. The bed
has both its matress and box spring!
The headboard is what's called a bookcase style. It's the width of the bed,
with shelves on each side and an open space in the middle.
We'd like a similar set-up for the new bed.
However, we've been hunting, and this is what we've found. The beds don't
seem to have metal or iron frames anymore; they seem to have a wood base or
frame. I'm wondering if we can connect a headboard to this type of bed or
not?
As I said, the current frame is on wheels, so that gives the bed some
height; we need something that's a little lower to the ground, so it seems
that wood frames are the way to go. But, again, we also want this book case
style headboard, and they're difficult to find.
Walmart has one by Sauder that we can put together, and this is what I'm
thinking of doing.
Is it logical that you can purchase a bed frame separately from the bed
itself? Am I right in thinking that you can't connect headboards to wooden
frames? And if I'm wrong on this, how is this done? Would it be by drilling
holes into the frame and screwing the headboard to it?
I'm not sure if this is making any sense, but since I don't have any sight,
all of what I'm picturing here has been things that I've only been able to
touch!
