Brooklyn Bedding The Foundation review

Brooklyn Bedding's The Foundation is a budget base with one useful extra: optional 6-inch legs. Without legs it sits inside a standard bed frame like any foundation; with legs it becomes a simple low bed frame, so you can skip buying a metal frame. Assembly uses Brooklyn Bedding's Fast-Loc blocks in 3 tool-free steps, and the company says it is ready in under ten minutes. The sides are upholstered in gray and a center rail adds support. A queen without legs cost $251.30 when we checked, with a 30% code taking it down from $359.00; the version with legs listed at $399 before discounts. Brooklyn Bedding offers a 30-day return on foundations for a full refund. Two caveats: the foundation cannot be attached to a headboard or footboard on its own, and the warranty is unclear, with the feature list saying 5 years and the FAQ describing a 3-year limited parts replacement warranty. Confirm the terms before you buy.
