What Is A Low Profile Bed Frame?

A low profile bed frame is a bed base designed with a shorter height than traditional foundations, typically ranging from 2 to 5 inches tall. It provides the necessary mattress support while keeping the bed closer to the ground, offering a sleek, modern aesthetic and making it easier to get in and out of bed. The Big Fig Ultra Low Profile Foundation is a heavy duty foundation built specifically for plus-size sleepers, supporting up to 1,100 lbs. At just 2 inches tall, our ultra low profile bed frame provides the same durability and mattress support as a standard-height foundation while reducing the overall bed height. It’s an excellent option for those who prefer a lower sleeping surface without compromising stability and performance.

What Are The Advantages Of Low Profile Beds?

Low profile beds are great for anyone looking to combine style, comfort and practicality. Because they sit closer to the ground, they’re also easier to get in and out of—perfect for those who prefer a more accessible bed height. Plus, they provide extra stability since their lower center of gravity reduces wobbling. If you have a thicker mattress, like Big Fig, a low profile foundation helps maintain a balanced overall height without making the bed feel too tall. Another bonus? A lower bed frame can make a room feel more spacious and open, which is great for smaller bedrooms or anyone who loves a clean, uncluttered look.

What Are The Disadvantages Of A Low Bed Height?

While low-height beds have plenty of advantages, they also come with a few drawbacks to consider. Since they sit closer to the ground, getting in and out of bed might be less comfortable for taller individuals or those with mobility issues because there’s more bending involved. For people who have issues with getting in and out of bed, we recommend the Big Fig Heavy Duty Foundation.

What Is The Height Difference Between The Big Fig Ultra Low Profile Foundation And The Original Big Fig Foundation?

There is a 5" height difference between the two foundation options. The Heavy Duty Foundation is 7" high, while the Ultra Low Profile Foundation is just 2" high.

Do I Have To Assemble The Big Fig Ultra Low Profile Foundation?

No. The Big Fig Ultra Low Profile Foundation comes pre-assembled for easy installation.

Do I Need Any Additional Support Beneath My Mattress?

No, the Big Fig Ultra Low Foundation is just as strong as our Heavy Duty Foundation and can stand alone between your bed frame and mattress. We do not recommend using the Ultra Low Profile Foundation without a traditional frame.

Can I Return This Item?

No. The Ultra Low Profile Foundation is not part of our 120-Night Sleep Trial.

How Is This Item Shipped?
