The Frames I Tested
The [Zinus Suzanne Metal and Wood Platform Bed Frame Full](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Zinus+Suzanne+Metal+and+Wood+Platform+Bed+Frame+Full&tag=thetestedhub-20) is my overall pick. Assembly took 35 minutes and it stayed silent through every test.

Final Recommendation
The Zinus Suzanne is what I sleep on now. It looks like real furniture, assembles fast, and has not made a single sound in six months. For pure budget, the Amazon Basics foldable is shockingly good for the price.
Questions answered
Four of my five test frames have built-in slats and need no box spring. Only the basic metal platform pairs better with one for taller height.
All five frames I compared supported at least 500 pounds of combined mattress and sleeper weight without flexing or squeaking after six months.
