Abstract
A bed frame constructed by assembly of rail members with universal caster mounts at points of intersection of the rails, where ends of the rail members are integrally connected to the universal caster mounts without any bracketry or parts attached to the ends of the rail members. The universal caster mounts have a top wall for connection to a rail member, a side wall, and a caster shank receiving ferrule. A slot in the top wall receives a portion of an end of a rail member for direct connection of the rail member to the caster mount. A portion of the end of the rail member engaged in the slot rests upon the top wall, flush with the portion of another rail member attached to the top wall, to provide a truly flush support surface for a mattress box spring. Different frame designs, and a low profile caster mount are also disclosed.
