Acme Cargo 60″ Storage Bed – Industrial Metal & Wood Bedroom Furniture
Our Acme Cargo 60 storage bed transforms your bedroom with industrial charm and smart functionality. We designed this queen-size platform bed with a weathered metal frame and reclaimed pine accents that capture the raw aesthetic of vintage factory spaces.
Two full-extension drawers glide beneath the sleeping surface, providing 18 cubic feet of organized storage for linens, seasonal clothing, or extra bedding. The low-profile footboard and exposed rivet detailing create a streamlined silhouette that anchors modern loft apartments and traditional bedrooms alike.
We engineered the powder-coated steel frame to support up to 800 pounds, eliminating the need for a box spring. The integrated slat system promotes airflow around your mattress while the distressed wood headboard adds warmth to the gunmetal finish.
Construction & storage details
Materials & Industrial Construction
We source reclaimed pine from deconstructed warehouse structures, giving each Acme Cargo 60 bed a unique grain pattern and authentic patina. The wood receives a clear matte seal that protects against moisture while preserving the natural variations in color and texture.
The steel frame undergoes a multi-stage powder coating process that creates a durable gunmetal finish resistant to chipping and everyday wear. We weld corner joints for structural integrity, then add exposed steel rivets as both functional fasteners and design elements that reinforce the industrial aesthetic.
Storage Drawer System
Each under-bed drawer extends fully on commercial-grade ball-bearing slides rated for 75 pounds of capacity. We mount the glides to reinforced steel channels that prevent sagging even when drawers carry heavy loads like winter quilts or shoe collections.
The drawer boxes measure 9 inches high, 24 inches wide, and 18 inches deep, offering a combined 18 cubic feet of hidden storage. Reclaimed wood drawer fronts feature integrated metal pull handles that align with the bed’s industrial design language.
Sizing & Mattress Compatibility
The Acme Cargo 60 accommodates standard queen mattresses measuring 60 inches wide by 80 inches long. Our integrated slat system sits 14 inches above the floor, creating an overall bed height of approximately 22-24 inches depending on mattress thickness.
We space the support slats 3 inches apart to promote airflow beneath memory foam, latex, and hybrid mattresses while maintaining warranty compliance for most mattress brands. The platform design eliminates the expense and bulk of a traditional box spring.

Questions About the Acme Cargo 60″ Storage Bed
No box spring is needed. We include an integrated slat support system that provides full mattress support while promoting airflow.
The slats are spaced 3 inches apart and meet the warranty requirements for most memory foam, latex, and hybrid mattress brands. Simply place your queen mattress directly on the slat platform.
The bed frame supports up to 800 pounds distributed across the sleeping surface. This capacity accommodates two adults plus a typical queen mattress weight.
Each storage drawer holds up to 75 pounds on commercial-grade ball-bearing slides. The steel frame construction and welded corner joints provide exceptional stability and durability.
The drawers extend from the foot of the bed and require approximately 22 inches of clearance for full extension. We recommend leaving at least 24 inches between the footboard and any walls or furniture.
Each drawer measures 18 inches deep when fully extended. Plan your bedroom layout to ensure comfortable access to both drawers without moving other furniture.
Assembly takes approximately 90 minutes with two people and requires basic tools like a Phillips screwdriver and adjustable wrench. We provide all hardware pre-labeled in numbered bags that match the instruction manual.
A cordless drill with a Phillips bit speeds the process significantly. The heaviest single component weighs about 45 pounds, making a second person helpful for positioning the headboard and side rails.
The Acme Cargo 60 bed includes protective floor glides on all six legs to prevent scratching hardwood, laminate, or tile floors. The weight distributes evenly across the frame footprint.
For extra protection on delicate floors, we recommend placing felt pads beneath the leg glides. The bed remains stable on carpet without sinking due to the wide footprint and balanced weight distribution.
The bed accommodates mattresses ranging from 8 to 14 inches thick. With a 14-inch platform height, a 10-12 inch mattress creates an ideal overall bed height of 24-26 inches for comfortable sitting and entry.
Thinner mattresses (8-9 inches) work well if you prefer a lower-profile bed. The slat system provides adequate support regardless of mattress thickness.
Yes, because we use authentic reclaimed pine from deconstructed warehouses, each bed features unique grain patterns, knot placements, and subtle color variations. This variability is a hallmark of genuine reclaimed wood furniture.
All wood receives the same matte seal for protection and consistency in sheen. The natural character marks and weathering patterns make each Acme Cargo 60 bed one-of-a-kind while maintaining our quality standards.
