Tall King Bed Frames High Off the Ground
These tall king bed frames stand high off the ground: each leaves 10 to 14 inches of open floor under the frame, by its maker's figures, enough for storage bins, flat boxes or a robot vacuum. There are seven, each with its current price on its card, all for a 76 x 80 inch king mattress.
In short, the king bed frame highest off the ground here is the Vail, with 14 in of clearance underneath, then the Aspen (13.8 in), the Eugene (about 13.3 in to its slat supports), the Brooklyn and the Fargo (12 in each), the Burlington (11 in under the side rails) and the Detroit (10.43 in): four wood frames and three black metal ones, as each product page listed them when checked on November 13, 2026. Every frame comes with its slats or platform included, the mattress is not, and assembly is needed; delivery is free to the lower 48 states and DC, and returns are accepted within 30 days if the frame is unused and in its original packaging, minus a 15% restocking fee and the return shipping.
Six need no box spring, and six ship by parcel carrier to your door. A higher frame usually raises the mattress too, which some people find easier to sit on and get up from; our bed height guide helps you work out the final height. For a tall headboard rather than a tall frame, see our king beds with a tall headboard.

The Brooklyn, a black steel frame in this group, is also listed on our heavy duty king bed frame page, rated for 1,000 lb.

Sizing and buying guides
Before you choose
Which high king bed frame for your room?
13 to 14 inches underneath
The Vail leaves 14 inches under its platform, which rides on an open rectangular base, below a 60 inch wingback of white faux leather channels between gray wood-grain wings; at 96 inches long, it needs a deep room. The Aspen leaves 13.8 inches on legs 10.4 inches tall, with a solid wood frame and a 50 inch solid pine headboard in a walnut finish. The Eugene leaves about 13.3 inches in its maker's drawing, on tapered legs, with a cream velvet headboard in a natural light wood frame.
10 to 12 inches underneath
The Brooklyn is a black steel platform bed with brown panels and 12 inches underneath, as its maker's text says (the maker's own listing title says 14). The Burlington, a white painted cottage bed with a raised panel headboard, bun feet and a power strip under the side rail, leaves 11 inches under the rails in its maker's drawing. The Detroit leaves 10.43 inches under a black metal frame with shelf towers, LED lighting and charging ports.
Wood or metal
Four are wood beds and three are metal. The Aspen has a solid wood frame and a solid pine headboard; the Burlington is built of solid pine, plywood and MDF; the Eugene lists MDF and rubber wood under its natural light wood finish; and the Vail has a manufactured wood frame with faux leather upholstery. The Brooklyn and the Detroit are black metal frames with metal slats, with brown panels on the Brooklyn and MDF shelves on the Detroit.
What fits under the bed
Measure your bins before you order. Ten inches is more than most low under-bed boxes and robot vacuums need, and 13 to 14 inches leaves room for taller bins. Each figure is the maker's, from the floor to the underside of the frame or rails; center support legs can sit in the way, so look at the photos of the bare frame on each product page.
Box spring, weight and delivery
The Vail, the Aspen, the Eugene, the Burlington, the Detroit and the Fargo carry the mattress on slats or a platform and need no box spring, as their makers say; for the Brooklyn, the maker does not say. Where a weight capacity is given, it is 1,000 lb for the Brooklyn, 700 lb (static) for the Eugene, 600 lb for the Aspen, 500 lb for the Burlington and 440 lb for the Vail and 350 lb for the Fargo; the maker of the Detroit gives none for the king size. Six ship by parcel carrier in one or two boxes; the Vail comes by freight truck in 4 cartons, on an appointment. Shipping is free to the lower 48 states and DC.
Headboards and mattress height
Six of the seven come with a headboard (the Fargo has none): 60 inches tall on the Vail, 52.8 on the Burlington, 50 on the Aspen, 48.5 on the Eugene, 47.24 on the Detroit, whose top holds lit cubbies, and 39 on the Brooklyn, as their makers give them. A frame high off the ground also lifts the mattress: the Burlington's side rails top out at 15.7 inches and the Eugene's at 15 inches, so with a 10 inch mattress you sleep about 25 to 26 inches off the floor, at or just above the 22 to 25 inches of a typical bed in our bed height guide.

| Eugene | 79 x 84 in | 48.5 in | Not needed | About 13.3 in |
| Brooklyn | 78.2 x 84.1 in | 39 in | Maker does not say | 12 in |

| Detroit | 101.77 x 88.39 in | 47.24 in | Not needed | 10.43 in |

King bed frames high off the ground: questions people ask
Which king bed frame is highest off the ground?
The Vail, with 14 inches under its platform, then the Aspen with 13.8 inches and the Eugene with about 13.3 inches, all by their makers' figures.
How much space under a bed do you need for storage?
It depends on your bins: measure them first. Every bed here leaves 10 to 14 inches of open floor, more than most low under-bed boxes and robot vacuums need.
What is the cheapest king bed frame high off the ground?
The Fargo, a plain black steel platform frame with 12 inches underneath and no headboard, then the Brooklyn, a black steel platform bed with 12 inches underneath, then the Detroit, with 10.43 inches; each card above shows its current price.
Do these high king bed frames need a box spring?
Six do not: the Vail, the Aspen, the Eugene, the Burlington, the Detroit and the Fargo carry the mattress on slats or a platform. For the Brooklyn, the maker does not say; write to us before ordering and we will ask.
Does a higher frame make the bed taller?
Usually, yes: the mattress sits on the frame, so more space underneath often means a higher sleeping surface. Add your mattress thickness to the rail height on the product page, where the maker gives it.
Is there a wooden king bed frame high off the ground?
Yes, four. The Aspen, solid wood with a solid pine headboard, leaves 13.8 inches underneath; the Eugene, MDF and rubber wood in a light wood finish, about 13.3 inches; the Burlington, solid pine, plywood and MDF, 11 inches; and the Vail, faux leather upholstery on a manufactured wood frame, about 14 inches, all by their makers' figures.
Do these high king bed frames come with a headboard?
Six of the seven do, from 39 inches tall on the Brooklyn to 60 inches on the Vail; the Fargo has none. The Burlington, the Brooklyn and the Detroit also have a footboard.
How high is the mattress on a king bed frame high off the ground?
Add your mattress thickness to the rail height. By their makers' drawings, the Burlington's rails top out at 15.7 inches and the Eugene's at 15 inches, so a 10 inch mattress puts the sleeping surface at about 25 to 26 inches. For the other five, check the product page.
Is there a California king bed frame high off the ground?
Not among ours for now: none of our California king bed frames is listed with 10 inches or more underneath. Where the maker gives a figure, it is 6 inches at most, and some sit right on the floor. The seven beds here are for a 76 x 80 inch king mattress.
How are these beds delivered?
Six ship by parcel carrier to your door, in one or two boxes. The Vail comes by freight truck on an appointment. Shipping is free to the lower 48 states and DC.
