Has anyone bought a new bed frame lately that doesn't need a box spring but yet high enough where it's not a struggle to stand up out of bed?

Also would be nice to have frame high enough from the floor that my zoomba can get underneath it.
I have seen posts that can be installed to raise the bed, try an Amazon or similar search. These are typically 2 or 3 inches wide and various heights, just be careful if you intend to move the bed as these might not slide with the frame.
