Slat spacing under 7 cm is the specification that matters and the one people discover through a voided warranty: most foam and hybrid mattress warranties require under 7.5 cm, and a frame with wider slats lets the mattress sag between them.

| Specification | IKEA PAX Wardrobe Frame with Sliding Doors | ZINUS Alexis 12 Inch Deluxe Wood Platform Bed Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Price | ₹49,990 | ₹16,990 |
| Assembly | Required, roughly 3 hours, and genuinely a two-person job | Required, roughly 45 minutes, tools included |
| Humidity behaviour | Honeycomb board is more vulnerable to damp than solid particleboard, and cannot be repaired | Solid pine and steel, so no swelling |
| Panel material | Particleboard and honeycomb-structure paper filling, foil finished. Very light for its size, and correspondingly not solid | Solid pine legs with a steel frame and wooden slats -- genuinely wood, unlike most in this department |
| Weight | 105 kg | 27 kg |
| Weight capacity | Frame roughly 100 kg total; each internal shelf about 20 kg | Roughly 320 kg distributed |
| Warranty | 1 Year Official Brand Warranty | 1 Year Official Brand Warranty |
| Clearance | not published | 30 cm underneath for storage |
| Construction | Board frame with honeycomb paper board panels -- this is how it stays light at this size | not published |
| Doors | Sliding, so no swing clearance needed, which matters in small Indian bedrooms | not published |
| Levelling | Adjustable feet, and the floor must be level for the doors to run true | not published |
| Modularity | Interior fittings sold separately -- the frame ships nearly empty | not published |
| No box spring | not published | Slats replace it, which is the point of a platform frame |
| Noise | not published | Wood-on-steel contact can squeak; the joints benefit from felt pads |
| Slats | not published | Wooden, spaced under 7 cm apart |
| Wall fixing | Mandatory. IKEA supplies the bracket and it is not optional on a 236 cm wardrobe | not published |
| Why slat spacing matters | not published | Foam and hybrid mattresses need under 7.5 cm spacing or they sag between slats and the warranty is voided |
