Top and bottom openings in the end rails define upright passageways into which the supporting legs are inserted. Each supporting leg comprises an elongated body from which an integral flange portion radially extends at a position between the ends of the body. When fully inserted into an associated passageway, the end rail surrounding the bottom opening rests on the flange portion which thus transfers downwardly directed bedding loads to the body. The top of the body extends through the top opening and is deformed to form a head which engages the rail surrounding the top opening to cooperate with the flange portion in securing the leg to the frame.
