So I’m my anchor partner and I are both strongman competitors, she’s 6’ 1”, between 230-240 depending on where we are in a season and I’m 5’ 10” generally right around 260-280.
So just the two of us are right 550 usually.
We bought a Zinus Dawn 14 inch frame off amazon for about $159 it’s rated to 1200lbs, so perfect for us and our other partners. It’s a slight bigger than king size with nice rubber feet too keep it from sliding, though I still put a rug under it.
We affectionately call it orgy sized.

I grew up sleeping on futons and mattresses on the floor, so I agree they're comfortable. But having to air them out, leave them in the sun, store nothing underneath, etc. turns out to not really be that minimalist (especially with your time). Get this minimalist bedframe and this minimalist foam mattress in whatever size you need. Feels like a futon without all the disadvantages.
The bedframe is particularly nice because it's all metal, so doesn't wear out like other platform beds that use wooden slats like IKEA's. I had to wrap the corners with duct tape because I keep banging my shins into them.
You've gotten some good tips about the plywood, but you could also consider getting a metal foundation to fit inside the frame you buy, and skip the wooden slats. I did this with my bed; the metal foundation fits perfectly inside the wooden bed frame, and you don't even see the legs on the sides. Bonus: no creaking!
