Abstract
A flexible bed frame may have a base support platform for supporting a mattress and a flared or angled lip to provide lateral stability to the mattress when positioned on the frame. The frame may be made of a flexible material with sufficient elasticity to allow the frame to be rolled onto itself for storage, packing or shipping. The frame may have one or more cutouts to reduce weight of the frame. The frame may have legs which can be integrated with the support frame when the frame is a unitary piece, or which may be detachable. Legs of the frame may have hollow interior portions designed to receive a leg of corresponding shape of another bed frame when stacked onto the first bed frame.
Claims23
A bed frame comprising:
- a plurality of base portions, wherein the plurality of base portions comprises a first base portion, a second base portion and a third base portion;
- the first base portion comprising a first support platform, a first plurality of base supports positioned on a bottom side of the first base portion, wherein at least two of the first plurality of base supports comprise legs extending downwardly from the bottom side of the first base portion, wherein at least two base supports of the first plurality of base supports are shorter in height than the other plurality of base supports;
- the second base portion comprising a second support platform, a first plurality of openings positioned on a top side of the second base portion, a second plurality of base supports on a bottom side of the second base portion, wherein the second plurality of base supports comprise legs extending downwardly from the bottom side of the second base portion;
- the third base portion comprising a third support platform, a third plurality of base supports positioned on a bottom side of the third base portion, wherein at least two of the third plurality of base supports comprise legs extending downwardly from the bottom side of the third base portion, wherein at least two base supports of the third plurality of base supports are shorter in height than the other plurality of base supports;
- and
- wherein, in an assembled configuration, a first base support of the at least two base supports of the first plurality of base supports is inserted into a first opening of the first plurality of openings of the second base support, a second base support of the at least two base supports of the first plurality of base supports is inserted into a second opening of the first plurality of openings of the second base support, a first base support of the at least two base supports of the third plurality of base supports is inserted into a third opening of the first plurality of openings of the second base support, a second base support of the at least two base supports of the third plurality of base supports is inserted into a fourth opening of the first plurality of openings of the second base support to form a surface configured to receive a box spring or mattress.
A bed frame comprising:
- a plurality of base portions, wherein the plurality of base portions comprises a first base portion, a second base portion and a third base portion;
- the first base portion comprising a first support platform, a first plurality of openings on a top side of the first base portion, a first plurality of base supports positioned on a bottom side of the first base portion, wherein the first plurality of base supports comprise legs extending downwardly from the bottom side of the first base portion, wherein at least two base supports of the first plurality of base supports are shorter in height than the other plurality of base supports;
- the second base portion comprising a second support platform, a first plurality of openings positioned on a top side of the second base portion, a second plurality of base supports positioned on a bottom side of the second base portion, wherein the second plurality of base supports comprise legs extending downwardly from the bottom side of the second base portion;
- the third base portion comprising a third support platform, a third plurality of openings positioned on a top side of the third base portion, a third plurality of base supports positioned on a bottom side of the third base portion, wherein the third plurality of base supports comprise legs extending downwardly from the bottom side of the third base portion, wherein at least two base supports of the third plurality of base supports are shorter in height than the other plurality of base supports;
- and
- wherein the bed frame has a nested configuration whereby the plurality of openings of the second base portion are sized to receive the first plurality of base supports of the first base portion, the first plurality of openings of the first base portion are sized to receive the third plurality of base supports of the third base portion.
A bed frame comprising:
- a plurality of base portions, wherein the plurality of base portions comprises a first base portion and a second base portion;
- the first base portion comprising a first support platform, a first plurality of base supports positioned on a bottom side of the first base portion, wherein at least two of the first plurality of base supports comprise legs extending downwardly from the bottom side of the first base portion, wherein at least two base supports of the first plurality of base supports are shorter in height than the other plurality of base supports;
- the second base portion comprising a second support platform, a first plurality of openings positioned on a top side of the second base portion, a second plurality of base supports on a bottom side of the second base portion, wherein the second plurality of base supports comprise legs extending downwardly from the bottom side of the second base portion;
- and
- wherein, in an assembled configuration, a first base support of the at least two base supports of the first plurality of base supports is inserted into a first opening of the first plurality of openings of the second base support and a second base support of the at least two base supports of the first plurality of base supports is inserted into a second opening of the first plurality of openings of the second base support to form a surface configured to receive a box spring or mattress.
