Queen Bed Frame in Canada (2026): Sizes, Weight Limits and What Fits a Hybrid
Canadian buyer guide, updated September 10, 2026
Queen Bed Frame in Canada (2026): Sizes, Weight Limits and What Fits a Hybrid
A queen mattress is 60 by 80 inches, but the frame around it runs 79 to 88 inches long. Here are 13 measured queen frames, the load math for two adults, and which sellers publish a capacity.
Short answer
What size is a queen bed frame?
Quick answer: A queen bed frame in Canada holds a mattress measuring 60 by 80 inches, but the frame itself is larger, running 79 to 88 inches long and 59 to 70 inches wide depending on the style, because side rails, a headboard and legs sit outside the sleeping surface. Published weight capacity, where a seller states one at all, runs from 500 to 1,100 pounds.
Before you buy, check the outside footprint against your room, the total load against a published capacity, slat spacing, whether a centre support is included, and the frame weight you have to carry upstairs. Every Hamuq figure below is quoted from Hamuq's own product data and dimension drawings, and every competitor figure is labelled with the seller page it was read from. See the Hamuq bed frame collection for the live prices.
Before you buy
Five checks that decide which queen bed frame will work for you
1. Outside footprint
The mattress is 60 by 80 in. The frames in this guide run 79 to 88 in long and 59 to 70 in wide, a spread of 9 in in length between the smallest and the largest.
2. Total load
A queen Hamuq Original Hybrid is 89 lb. An average Canadian couple aged 40 to 59 adds 352 lb, for 441 lb before anything else gets on the bed.
3. A published capacity
Only 2 of Hamuq's 13 queen frames publish one, both at 500 lb. Douglas publishes 700 lb and Silk and Snow 1,100 lb on their queen platform frames.
4. Slats and centre support
A hybrid needs slats no more than 7.5 cm, about 3 in, apart with a centre support on queen and larger. Douglas publishes 2.5 in spacing, Silk and Snow 3 in.
5. Frame weight and the stairs
Queen frames here weigh 64 lb to 190 lb, a threefold spread. The storage frames are the heavy ones, and they arrive as a frame, not rolled in a box.
How a queen frame's outside size differs from the 60 by 80 in mattress
A queen mattress in Canada is 60 in wide by 80 in long, which is 152 by 203 cm, and that figure does not change between brands. What changes is the frame wrapped around it: side rails add width, a footboard or recessed base adds length, and a headboard adds height that no mattress chart accounts for.
Across the 13 queen frames Hamuq sells today the outside length runs from 79 in to 88 in and the width from 59 in to 70 in, so choosing the largest instead of the smallest costs 9 in of floor length and 11 in of floor width. The adjustable base is the one exception that measures smaller than the mattress, at 79 by 59 in, because the mattress is designed to sit slightly proud of it.

Hamuq does not publish a weight capacity for 11 of these 13 queen frames, and this guide says so in every row rather than filling the gap with an estimate. If a capacity matters to your purchase, the comparison table below names the sellers who do publish one.
How much weight can a queen bed frame hold?
A queen bed frame holds whatever its maker has tested it to hold, and in Canada today the published figures run from 500 lb to 1,100 lb, with most sellers publishing nothing at all. The number that matters is not the frame's rating on its own but the rating minus the mattress, because the mattress is on the frame every night before anyone lies down.
A queen Hamuq Original Hybrid weighs 89 lb and the queen Organic Hybrid weighs 120 lb. Against a 500 lb frame rating, that leaves 411 lb or 380 lb for the people on it. The table below runs measured Canadian adult weights from Statistics Canada against that allowance, and it includes the rows where the answer is no.
| Who is on the bed | Two adults | Plus queen hybrid | Total load | Under 500 lb? | Under 700 lb? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Median couple, one male one female, age 40 to 59 | 336 lb (152 kg) | 89 lb | 425 lb (193 kg) | Yes, 75 lb spare | Yes |
| Average couple, one male one female, age 40 to 59 | 352 lb (160 kg) | 89 lb | 441 lb (200 kg) | Yes, 59 lb spare | Yes |
| 75th percentile couple, age 40 to 59 | 392 lb (178 kg) | 89 lb | 481 lb (218 kg) | Yes, 19 lb spare | Yes |
| Average couple plus one child aged 6 to 11 | 352 lb plus 74 lb | 89 lb | 515 lb (234 kg) | No, 15 lb over | Yes |
| 90th percentile couple, age 40 to 59 | 449 lb (204 kg) | 89 lb | 538 lb (244 kg) | No, 38 lb over | Yes |
| 95th percentile couple, age 40 to 59 | 491 lb (223 kg) | 89 lb | 580 lb (263 kg) | No, 80 lb over | Yes |
| 90th percentile couple on the Organic Hybrid | 449 lb (204 kg) | 120 lb | 569 lb (258 kg) | No, 69 lb over | Yes |
Read honestly, that says two things. For a median or average Canadian couple a 500 lb queen frame is enough with room to spare. For a couple at the 90th percentile, a family that lets a child in, or anyone who wants headroom rather than a 19 lb margin, 500 lb is the wrong frame and a 700 lb or 1,100 lb frame is the right one. If that is you, the platform bed weight limits guide has the capacity chart by frame type and the guide for heavy and plus size sleepers covers the mattress side.
One caution about figures published elsewhere. Marketplace listings on Amazon.ca, Walmart.ca and Best Buy Marketplace advertise queen capacities of 800, 1,300, 1,500, 2,000, 3,200 and 3,500 lb in the listing title. Those are listing claims, not test results, and none read on September 10, 2026 named a test standard. Treat a number without a method as marketing.
What kind of bed frame do you need for a hybrid mattress?
A hybrid mattress needs a rigid, evenly supported base with slats no more than 7.5 cm, about 3 in, apart and a centre support running head to foot on queen and larger sizes. That is the condition Hamuq's own mattress warranty is written around, and it is the single most common reason a sag claim gets refused: the mattress was fine and the base underneath it was not.
Hybrids are heavier and denser than the innerspring mattresses box springs were designed for. A queen Original Hybrid is 89 lb and a queen Organic Hybrid is 120 lb, and that mass sits on whatever spans the gaps between slats. Widen the gaps past 3 in and the mattress settles into them, which shows up as a body impression down the middle of the bed within a year or two.
Every platform frame in this guide carries the mattress directly, so no box spring is required on any of them. The detail worth checking on any frame, Hamuq's included, is whether the centre support has its own leg reaching the floor rather than being a rail spanning only between the side rails. Douglas publishes 2.75 in wide slats at 2.5 in spacing and Silk and Snow publishes 3 in spacing, both inside the limit. The warranty language is covered in the guide to what bed frame a hybrid mattress needs, and the box spring question in do you need a box spring for a hybrid mattress in Canada.
Queen bed frames sold in Canada, compared
On September 10, 2026 there were four Canadian sellers whose queen bed frame data could be read directly from their own product pages: Hamuq, Douglas, Silk and Snow, and Endy. Of those four, three publish a weight capacity for their queen platform frames and one does not. Every figure in the table below came from the seller's own page on that date, and where a seller does not publish something the cell says so rather than guessing.
| Queen frame | Price CAD | Published capacity | Slat spec | Under-bed clearance | Build | Figure source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Silk and Snow Platform Bed | $382.50, regular $450 | 1,100 lb | 3 in spacing, poplar slats | Not published | Solid poplar slats, Velcro backed | silkandsnow.com product page |
| Douglas Platform Bed | $299 promotional | 700 lb, 350 lb per side | 2.75 in wide, 2.5 in spacing | 4.5 in | Steel and wood, LVL slats | douglas.ca product page |
| Douglas Upholstered Bed Frame | $499 promotional | 700 lb, 350 lb per side | 2.75 in wide, 2.5 in spacing | 4.5 in | Steel and wood, padded headboard | douglas.ca product page |
| Silk and Snow Storage Bed | $722.50, regular $850 | 1,100 lb | 2 in wide poplar slats | Occupied by drawers | Wood with storage drawers | silkandsnow.com product page |
| Hamuq Floating Wood Bed Frame | $618 to $621 | 500 lb | Within Hamuq's 7.5 cm hybrid spec | Not published | Hardwood slats on metal rails, centre beam, recessed base | hamuq.com product page |
| Hamuq Storage Wood Bed Frame | $716 to $753 | 500 lb | Not published | Occupied by drawers | Wood-look panel, slat system, three drawers | hamuq.com product page |
| Hamuq Upholstered Platform Bed Frame | $500 | Not published | Not published | Not published | Fabric over wood, wood slats, legs | hamuq.com product page |
| Endy Upholstered Platform Bed Frame | $545 | Not published | Not published | Not published | Wood, tool-free assembly | ca.endy.com product data |
| Endy Platform Bed Frame with headboard | $995 | Not published | Not published | Not published | Wood with upholstered headboard | ca.endy.com product data |
| Endy Wooden Bed Frame | $1,495 | Not published | Not published | Not published | Poplar and oak, fluted headboard | ca.endy.com product data |
Prices for Douglas and Silk and Snow were promotional on September 10, 2026 and both sites were running mattress-linked frame discounts. Endy publishes shipping weights but no capacity, slat spacing or clearance on the product pages read that day. Marketplace sellers such as Amazon.ca, Walmart.ca and Wayfair.ca are not in this table because their listings are not seller-published specifications.
Silk and Snow Platform Bed
No other queen frame read on September 10, 2026 publishes a higher number, and at the promotional price it is the cheapest published capacity per dollar in the set. It is a plain platform with no headboard, which is exactly why it costs what it does. Downside: the page publishes no under-bed clearance and no frame weight, the trial is 30 nights against Hamuq's and Douglas's 120, and the $382.50 is a promotional price that will revert to $450.
- Best for: a couple above the 90th percentile, a family bed, or anyone who wants a capacity figure with real headroom over a queen hybrid.
- Skip if: you want a headboard included, or you want a long at-home trial on the frame itself.
Douglas Platform Bed
Douglas publishes more about this frame than any other seller in the comparison: capacity per side, slat width and spacing, under-bed clearance, per-size dimensions, boxed weights and an abrasion test figure for the upholstery. That is the standard the rest of the category should be held to, Hamuq included. Downside: the page states it is made in China and stored in Canadian distribution centres, it is not compatible with bracketed headboards or with an adjustable base, and the $299 is a promotional price tied to a mattress purchase.
- Best for: a buyer who wants every number published before paying, and who does not need a headboard.
- Skip if: you want to attach a standalone headboard later, or you plan to add an adjustable base.
Hamuq Floating Wood Bed Frame
It is one of only two Hamuq queen frames with a published capacity, it has the smallest footprint of any Hamuq queen frame at 1.75 in longer and 1.25 in wider than the mattress, and the hardwood slat deck with a centre beam is what Hamuq designed its own hybrids to sit on. Six wood finishes. Possible downside: 500 lb is the lowest published capacity in the comparison table, which puts a 90th percentile couple 38 lb over the rating; Hamuq does not publish the under-bed clearance or the slat spacing as a measured figure; and at 102 lb it is not a one-person carry up a narrow staircase.
- Best for: a Hamuq or other hybrid, a couple up to roughly 400 lb combined, and a small bedroom where every inch of floor counts.
- Skip if: your combined load is near or over 500 lb, in which case take the Silk and Snow or Douglas frames above, or work through the platform bed weight limits guide.
Hamuq Storage Wood Bed Frame
Three large drawers on metal slides that can be installed on either side, the same compact 81.75 by 61.25 in footprint as the floating frame, and a published 500 lb capacity, which the Silk and Snow Storage Bed matches at a higher 1,100 lb but at a higher regular price. Possible downside: 128 lb to move, the drawers take the under-bed space so nothing else fits there, Hamuq does not publish the slat spacing for this frame, and the finish is a wood-look panel rather than solid wood.
- Best for: a condo or guest room where the space under the bed has to earn its keep.
- Skip if: you need solid wood, or you want to slide storage bins under the bed yourself.
Hamuq Upholstered Platform Bed Frame
At 68 lb it is the easiest queen frame here to get up a staircase, and at 10 in high it is the lowest profile, which suits a small room where a tall bed would dominate. It is also the cheapest queen frame Hamuq sells. Possible downside: Hamuq publishes no weight capacity, no slat spacing and no clearance for this frame, so a buyer who needs a capacity figure should choose one of the frames above instead. It is also 4 in longer and 2 in wider than the mattress, so it takes more floor than the two wood frames.
- Best for: a first apartment, a guest room, a low modern look, or a buyer moving it themselves.
- Skip if: a published capacity is part of your decision, or you are near the 90th percentile.
Endy Platform Bed Frame
Endy states the platform range is designed and handcrafted in Canada, and the headboard is included rather than sold separately as it is on several competitors. The base without the headboard is $645 if you want the option. Downside: Endy publishes no weight capacity, no slat spacing and no under-bed clearance on the product pages read on September 10, 2026, the trial is 30 nights, and at a 152 lb shipping weight it is the heaviest queen frame in this comparison.
- Best for: a buyer who wants a headboard included and Canadian assembly stated on the page.
- Skip if: you need a published capacity, or you want a longer trial on the frame.
Platform, storage, upholstered or adjustable: which queen frame is which
Queen frames divide into four practical types, and the type decides the footprint, the price band and whether the space under the bed is usable. The table below is built from the 13 Hamuq queen frames measured for this guide plus the competitor frames read the same day.
| Type | Typical queen footprint | Queen price band CAD | Published capacity range | Under-bed space | Renter friendly | Hamuq queen options |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Low platform, no headboard | 81.75 to 84 in long | $299 to $618 | 500 to 1,100 lb where published | Open, 4.5 in on Douglas | Yes, no wall work | Upholstered Platform $500, Floating Wood $618 |
| Platform with headboard | 83 to 88 in long, 34 to 50 in high | $499 to $1,495 | 700 lb on Douglas, otherwise not published | Open, varies | Yes, freestanding headboard | California $615, Curved $615, Diamond $628, Delorious $713, Boucle $1,080 |
| Storage with drawers | 81.75 to 87 in long | $716 to $1,229 | 500 lb Hamuq, 1,100 lb Silk and Snow | Taken by drawers | Yes, but heavy to move | Storage Wood $716, with Headboard $1,052, Grey Fabric $1,166.24, Tufted $1,229, Panel $1,229 |
| Adjustable base | 79 x 59 in, smaller than the mattress | $1,199 to $1,860 | 650 lb Douglas, otherwise not published | Legs only, 15 in high | Yes, needs a power outlet | Adjustable Bed Frame $1,580 |
Two things in that table are worth acting on. First, the storage frames are where the weight is: a queen Tufted Upholstered Storage Bed is 190 lb against 68 lb for the Upholstered Platform, so if you move often or live up a narrow staircase, the storage decision is also a moving decision. Second, the adjustable base is the only queen frame here that is smaller than the mattress, which means a headboard has to be wall mounted or bought as a separate freestanding piece. The storage bed frame guide, the upholstered bed frame guide and the adjustable bed frame guide go deeper on each type.
Will a queen bed frame fit your room?
A queen bed frame fits a room when there is still a usable walkway around it after the frame's outside footprint is subtracted, not after the mattress is. That distinction is the whole point of this section, because the mattress chart says 60 by 80 in and the frame you actually buy can be 88 by 70 in.
The working rule used in Hamuq's 10 by 10 room guide is 24 in as the minimum walkway you can live with, 30 in as comfortable, and anything under 24 in as a room you will resent. The table applies that to the three footprints in this guide: the smallest Hamuq queen frame at 81.75 by 61.25 in, the most common at 84 by 62 in, and the largest at 88 by 70 in.
| Room size | Smallest frame, 81.75 x 61.25 in | Common frame, 84 x 62 in | Largest frame, 88 x 70 in | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9 ft x 9 ft (108 x 108 in) | 26 in at the foot, 23 in each side | 24 in at the foot, 23 in each side | 20 in at the foot, 19 in each side | Tight. Take the smallest frame or drop to a double. |
| 10 ft x 10 ft (120 x 120 in) | 38 in at the foot, 29 in each side | 36 in at the foot, 29 in each side | 32 in at the foot, 25 in each side | Works with any of the three. This is the standard queen room. |
| 10 ft x 12 ft (120 x 144 in) | 62 in at the foot, 29 in each side | 60 in at the foot, 29 in each side | 56 in at the foot, 25 in each side | Comfortable, and there is room for a dresser at the foot. |
| 11 ft x 12 ft (132 x 144 in) | 62 in at the foot, 35 in each side | 60 in at the foot, 35 in each side | 56 in at the foot, 31 in each side | Comfortable with nightstands on both sides. |
| 12 ft x 12 ft (144 x 144 in) | 62 in at the foot, 41 in each side | 60 in at the foot, 41 in each side | 56 in at the foot, 37 in each side | Generous. A king would also fit here. |
The row that matters most is 9 by 9 ft. In that room the largest queen frame leaves 19 in each side, which is less than the width of most people's shoulders when turning, while the smallest leaves 23 in. Same mattress, same room, a different bed. For the mattress dimensions themselves in inches and centimetres across every size, the full Canadian mattress size chart has the complete table.
Hamuq product context
The Hamuq queen frames, and the mattress they were built for
Hamuq sells 13 bed frames in queen, from $500 CAD for the Upholstered Platform Bed Frame to $1,580 CAD for the Adjustable Bed Frame, and publishes the outside dimensions and frame weight for every one of them. Two publish a 500 lb capacity: the Floating Wood Bed Frame at $618 CAD and the Storage Wood Bed Frame at $716 CAD. All of them ship free in 2 to 7 business days across Canada, carry a 5-year limited frame warranty, and need no box spring. The Original Hybrid queen that these frames were sized around is $999 CAD, weighs 89 lb, and carries a 120-night trial and a 15-year warranty whose support condition a slat deck like these satisfies.
Hamuq Inc. makes and sells the frames and mattresses named here. All Hamuq prices were read from Hamuq product data on September 10, 2026 and change; the product page is the live figure.
Queen bed frame fit finder
Pick the card that sounds like you
Open your route. Every answer here is also in the tables above, so nothing depends on the card.
1 A couple around average Canadian weight, standard 10 by 10 bedroom
Your route: the Hamuq Floating Wood Bed Frame or the Storage Wood Bed Frame. At 441 lb total for an average couple plus a queen hybrid you are 59 lb under the published 500 lb rating, and at 81.75 by 61.25 in these are the two smallest queen footprints in the guide, leaving 38 in at the foot in a 10 by 10 room.
2 Two sleepers well above average weight, or a family that shares the bed
Your route: a frame published at 700 lb or more, which is not a Hamuq frame today. Table 2 puts a 90th percentile couple on a queen hybrid at 538 lb, and an average couple plus one child at 515 lb, both over Hamuq's 500 lb rating. The Silk and Snow Platform Bed at 1,100 lb and the Douglas Platform Bed at 700 lb both publish enough headroom. Start with the platform bed weight limits guide.
3 A small bedroom, 9 by 9 ft or tighter
Your route: the smallest footprint, and check the double. In a 9 by 9 ft room the 81.75 by 61.25 in frames leave 23 in each side and the 88 by 70 in Boucle leaves 19 in. If 23 in still feels tight, the room fit guide works through when a double is the better answer.
4 You want storage under the bed, or you need to move it yourself
Your route depends on which one. For storage, the Storage Wood Bed Frame is $716 CAD with three drawers and a published 500 lb capacity, at 128 lb. If you have to carry it, the Upholstered Platform Bed Frame at 68 lb is the lightest queen frame here and the storage frames at 172 lb and 190 lb are the heaviest.

Buyer questions
Queen bed frame FAQs for Canadian buyers
These are the questions Canadian searchers see under this topic, answered first and short.
Queen size and fit
What is the size of a queen bed frame?
Quick answer: A queen bed frame holds a mattress of 60 by 80 in (152 by 203 cm), and the frame itself is larger. Across the 13 queen frames measured for this guide on September 10, 2026, the outside size ran from 81.75 by 61.25 in to 88 by 70 in, with one exception: an adjustable base measures 79 by 59 in, slightly smaller than the mattress by design.
Is 60x80 a queen size bed?
Quick answer: Yes. 60 in wide by 80 in long, or 152 by 203 cm, is the standard queen mattress size in Canada, and it does not vary by brand. What varies is the frame around it, which adds 1.75 to 8 in of length and 1.25 to 10 in of width depending on the style you choose.
Do all queen mattresses fit all queen bed frames?
Quick answer: The 60 by 80 in footprint fits, but height and support do not always. Check three things: that the slats sit no more than 7.5 cm, about 3 in, apart, that a centre support runs head to foot, and that the frame's mattress recess is deep enough for your mattress height. A hybrid on slats wider than 3 in can settle into the gaps.
What size bed frame for queen mattress?
Quick answer: Buy the frame labelled queen, then check its outside dimensions against your room rather than the mattress size. In a 10 by 10 ft room every queen frame in this guide fits with at least 25 in of walkway each side. In a 9 by 9 ft room the largest frame leaves 19 in each side and the smallest leaves 23 in.
Weight, support and hybrids
How much weight can a queen bed frame hold?
Quick answer: Published queen capacities from Canadian sellers read on September 10, 2026 ran from 500 lb to 1,100 lb, and most sellers publish nothing. Subtract the mattress first: a queen hybrid is 89 to 120 lb, so a 500 lb frame leaves 380 to 411 lb for the sleepers. An average Canadian couple aged 40 to 59 weighs 352 lb together.
What bed frames can hold 500 pounds?
Quick answer: Two Hamuq queen frames publish exactly 500 lb, the Floating Wood Bed Frame at $618 CAD and the Storage Wood Bed Frame at $716 CAD. Above that, the Douglas Platform Bed and Upholstered Bed Frame publish 700 lb for queen, at 350 lb per side, and the Silk and Snow Platform Bed and Storage Bed publish 1,100 lb.
Do I need a center support for a queen bed frame?
Quick answer: Yes. Hamuq's own specification calls for a centre support on queen and larger, and it is a standard condition in mattress warranties because a queen mattress spans 60 in with nothing under the middle otherwise. Check that the centre rail has its own leg reaching the floor, not just a bar spanning between the side rails.
What kind of bed frame do you need for a hybrid mattress?
Quick answer: A rigid base with slats no more than 7.5 cm, about 3 in, apart and a centre support with a leg to the floor on queen and larger. No box spring is needed on any platform frame in this guide. Douglas publishes 2.5 in slat spacing and Silk and Snow publishes 3 in, both inside that limit.
Buying a queen frame in Canada
How much should I pay for a queen bed frame?
Quick answer: From named Canadian sellers whose own product pages were readable on September 10, 2026, queen frames ran $299 to $1,860 CAD. Hamuq's 13 queen frames run $500 to $1,580 CAD. Marketplace listings start near $77 CAD, but those sellers publish listing claims rather than tested specifications, so the two groups are not comparable.
Does a queen bed frame need a box spring?
Quick answer: No, not on any platform frame in this guide. Every Hamuq queen frame uses a slat deck that supports the mattress directly, and the product pages state that no box spring is required. A box spring was designed for old innerspring mattresses and adds height without adding support under a modern hybrid.
How heavy is a queen bed frame to carry upstairs?
Quick answer: It depends entirely on the type. Across the 13 Hamuq queen frames the range is 64 lb to 190 lb, a threefold spread. The Diamond Bed is 64 lb and the Upholstered Platform is 68 lb; the Tufted Upholstered Storage Bed and the Upholstered Panel Storage Bed are both 190 lb. Frames arrive as frames, not rolled in a box like the mattress.
Which Hamuq queen bed frames publish a weight capacity?
Quick answer: Two of the 13. The Floating Wood Bed Frame and the Storage Wood Bed Frame both publish 500 lb. For the other 11 queen frames Hamuq does not publish a capacity, and this guide marks those cells as not published rather than estimating. If a capacity figure is part of your decision, use one of those two or a seller that publishes a higher number.
How we know this
This guide was built on September 10, 2026 from 13 measured Hamuq queen frames and 10 competitor queen frames read the same day. Every Hamuq price came from Hamuq product data on September 10, 2026, and every Hamuq dimension and frame weight was read off that product's own queen dimension drawing, which is why all 13 rows in Table 1 carry a measurement rather than a blank. Competitor prices, capacities, slat specifications and clearances were read directly from the sellers' own product pages at douglas.ca, silkandsnow.com and ca.endy.com, and each figure is labelled with its source in the same table. The load calculation in Table 2 uses Statistics Canada measured adult weights from the Canadian Health Measures Survey Cycle 2, Table 23. Marketplace capacity claims are identified as listing claims and are not used as evidence. The questions used as FAQ headings are ones Canadian shoppers commonly search on Google, recorded on September 10, 2026. Weight capacity was not published by Hamuq for 11 of the 13 queen frames and this guide says so in each case. No review counts and no star ratings are cited anywhere in this article.
