Bed Legs?

[cynicaljones]

OK, I'm going to get a SleepEZ. For reals. But I don't have a frame or platform bed so I'll need to get their foundation and some legs for it. I wanted tall ones, but they don't have them in stock. So, I'm thinking I'll just get some somewhere else. What should I be looking for? I found these recycled plastic universal bedlegs for a good price. Or would wood be a better, sturdier option?
Any bedleg wisdom out there?

Give your review of sleepez mattress after you have it. I look forward to it. Thanks.

Check out Home Depot if you have one near you, or you can check online.
Search for "Waddell Legs"
They have them in wood at various lengths. They are made for tables, but they are what I will use if I decide to get a latex mattress and build my own foundation.
Also look for the brackets that go with the legs. The legs have a 5/16 threaded bolt in the end that screws into the bracket.
Hope that helps.

Yes, helpful. Thank you. I was at Lowes today nd they had some legs, I liked the plain straight table legs, they had the brackets, etc. I could make my own legs for about $5-$7 each. Although I don't know how sturdy they would be.
But now I'm thinking maybe I should just go ahead and get a metal frame for cheap for the time being, until I find the bed I want. I stopped at Goodwill today, and they sell brand new ones for under $50.

Costco has brand new sturdy bed frames for under $50.
