Quite possibly!: Thanks for this interesting question. Few doctors appreciate the impact of EMF's on health. According to this impeccable source, not only do metal bed frames act as an antenna for EMF's but so do the metal springs. A futon without metal and a wood frame may improve health and quality of sleep! See http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/guest-blog/2010/07/02/left-sided-cancer-blame-your-bed-and-tv/

What if it does?: There is metal all around you, including the wires that carry electricity. Even if the metal bed frames were to act as an antenna, there is no evidence that EMF affects health.
