Abstract

A collapsible bed base is disclosed to support a bed mattress. The bed base comprises a foldable peripheral frame, removable cross-support joist members extending across the frame and removable top decking panels supported by the frame and across-support members for supporting a mattress thereon. The foldable peripheral support frame assumes a rectangular configuration in an open position. The frame members at the opposed ends of the frame have a hinge in their center. These frame members at the ends of the frame are also hinged to frame members forming the sides of the frame. The frame members at the ends of the frame can be bent inwardly about their centers so as to draw the side frame members together into a collapsed position.
