I want specific dimensions for the bed frame to be minimal width to clear a door opening and to be a specific height so the bed functions as a chair but also has exactly 7” clearance. I’d like no center post on the edge to not stub my toe and I’d like it to be cheap. I don’t care about a head board.

It seems I’d be better off making my own bed.

I was thinking 2x3s as the base frame then rope as the box spring. You think this is a good idea? Seems about 8 2x3s and 200-300ft of rope. So about $50-70.

The alternative is buying a $150 metal frame and cutting it down. The only ones i can find have middle posts on the edges so I’d stub my toes.

No-one needs a king size bed, fullsize is fine and gives you a huge amount of floor back. Get closer to the person you're sharing a bed with and watch how it improves your relationship.

Honestly, if your bed uses more space than two twins and you don't like feel each other in bed, go get twins and live the 1950's TV couple life.
