The “So Innovative” Steel Bed Frame That Made My Back Pain Disappear (It’s on Sale!)
Sure, choosing the right mattress is key to a good night’s sleep, but picking the right bed frame is equally important. A badly made one can be wobbly, creaky, cause your mattress to sag, and worst of all, wreak havoc on your back. So, how do you find a quality bed frame? Well, Australian company Sleeping Duck set out to make it easy by developing the Indestruct Bed, a super sturdy frame with a chassis made from structural steel (aka the really strong kind used in construction!) to provide superior spine support.
In other words, you can say bye-bye to back pain. We had the chance to test the Indestruct Bed for ourselves, and as it turns out, it really is a dream come true.

Design Features That Stand Out
Our tester, Ethan, had been sleeping for years on an unsteady, inexpensive bed frame from a big-box store, so the Indestruct Bed was definitely a major upgrade (especially since his old frame finally broke days before the Indestruct Bed arrived). The first thing he noticed after putting the new queen-size frame together was how sleek and sturdy it is. “It’s very solid and nice looking,” he says of the Indestruct Bed. “When I tried to shake the headboard or sides, it didn’t have any give.”
Ethan customized the base of his bed with timber panels and a headboard in the brand’s European ash color. The solid wood is “thick and heavy,” he says. “Definitely high quality.” Ethan also opted for tall legs for the frame — a smart move, since they allow more space for underbed storage to help his room stay clutter-free.
How It Performed
Though the bed’s core is made of steel, it wasn’t too heavy or difficult to assemble. The instructions were easy to follow, Ethan says, and everything came together in about three hours. While Ethan assembled the bed by himself, he admits that “it definitely would have been easier with two people.”
Regardless, it was worth the time and effort: The Indestruct Bed has been a complete game-changer since Ethan began sleeping on it two months ago. His previous bed frame was wobbly and creaky, and he frequently woke up in the morning with a sore back. The Indestruct Bed, however, remains still and silent while he sleeps, and he feels much more well rested as a result. More importantly, he hasn’t experienced any back pain since making the switch to the Indestruct Bed. “My body definitely feels more supported, no matter what position I sleep in,” he says. “I wish I had found this frame sooner!”
What We Loved
- It’s super sturdy. This stylish steel bed doesn’t budge while you slumber, so you know it’s built to last.
- It’s customizable. The panels and headboard come in a variety of stylish options to suit any decor. Bonus points to Sleeping Duck for providing two leg height options for those who need extra storage space.
- It’s so supportive. The steel C-Beams in the chassis are positioned under the spine of each sleeper for ultimate back support.
