Looking for a bed frame with wooden slats ontop that doesn't squeak, 16in tall. Everything seems shorter or poorly made

LOVE my thuma bed

https://www.thuma.co/

Idk if the height is sufficient but it’s amazingly easy to take apart and transport. NO squeaking even with the most enthusiastic of aerobic activities

It’s only 13” tall though, 9” under bed clearance.

    If you need a couple more inches, there are companies that make little stands that fit under bed legs. Can give you more room to stick stuff under the bed.

    hits Amazon

    "bed leg risers"

    https://www.amazon.com/Utopia-Bedding-Premium-Adjustable-Furniture/dp/B073WFCV1L

    Variety of shapes and sizes, but they normally have a lip so that a bed leg would have to come up to move off the riser.

    From experience, these are also fantastic at mangling your toes when returning to your bed after a pee in the middle of the night.

    Next frame I buy is either going to be the correct height, or have the legs recessed from the sides by a few inches.

    I've thought about the Thuma a lot, the only thing stopping me is the thought "jesus that's a lot of cash to not even get hardwood.

    Mines definitely hardwood, it’s “upcycled” rubber wood not fiberboard or composite.

    Welp, i caved and got the classic with the headboard and i like it! Previously bought a Silk and Snow copycat version of it that was VERY disappointing (so wobbly, didn't feel safe let alone quiet, materials felt cheap as well), that i started the return on the same day i got it (i don't recommend even trying Silk and Snow, they screw you over on the return with shipping for half the cost of the damn bed).

    Thuma is well packed, just as easy to assemble as it shows on the site (it genuinely took longer to unbox than assemble), and real damn quiet. It does have a little bit of movement and noise at the front end of it if you shake it from side to side but its pretty negligible. Headboard version comes with the non-headboard legs too

    I’ve got a pretty heavy mattress on mine, so that might help contribute to the no movement of mine but mine literally does not move.

    Sometimes, especially at 2am when I’m going to the bathroom and my shin connects with the bed I WISH it had a little movement…

    I don’t have the headboard version, just the soft headboard. I got mine in 2021ish before they had anything else.

    I’ve actually bought 2 of them now, and 4 of the side tables …. I really like their stuff.

    I have a California king w/a temperpedic and a king w/a temperpedic and I think they’d stop a bus.

    I feel like a local woodworkers guild could probably make us this exact type of furniture for ~the same price if not less …

    Also, if you don’t talk about your thuma and say thuma the same way Arnold says “tumor” in kindergarten cop then you’re doing it wrong.
