Bed frame Buying Guide | Factors to Consider Before Buying a Bed Frame
Choosing a beautiful bed frame is easy but before you make your final selection there are a few things to think about. You need to make sure that your bed fits into your space and fits the overall theme of your décor. Once you’ve chosen your ideal bed then you’ll want to hang on to it for as long as possible to make sure it’s well built and sturdy enough to last.
Types of Bed Frame
Many modern bed frames and mattresses are supportive enough to work without the addition of box spring. All of the beds in this list are suitable for use with just a mattress, though some of the lower frames allow for the addition of a box spring if you prefer it.
Size & Height
This will depend largely on who the bed is meant for and the space you have available. A large Queen or King sized bed is perfect for families with children. Couples with less space can make do with a full sized double; this is also a great choice for a guest room if you have space. Twin or single beds are ideal for children’s rooms and smaller guest rooms, or student accommodation.
Height is another important factor, especially if your rooms are small. Under bed storage is a great advantage if space is limited; toys, games, seasonal clothing and spare bedding can all be boxed up tucked out of sight. Storage boxes can be purchased in most sizes and you should be able to find some that fit. However, if you plan to store large suitcases or already own taller boxes, double check the height of your new frame before ordering it.
Design
A simple, minimalist bed frame serves its purpose without drawing attention to itself. It fits neatly into your bedroom and will still look great even when you completely change your color scheme. Most minimalist bed frames have a very simple design with sturdy legs and plain edges, in grey, black or white. If they have a headboard it is a simple one; two or three bars or a solid wood pillow support. When you choose a minimalist bed, it will blend into your décor and help you create an uncluttered bedroom atmosphere.
Material
Most beds are made from wood, metal, or a combination of both. Metal frames are often elegant in shape and fit well into a modern room. Wooden frames look warmer and more solid and suit a rustic, country style.
Headboard/Footboard Option
The simplest beds on our list come with no headboard or footboard at all. These are well suited to rooms where space is limited; their very simple design creates the illusion of more space around them. Many have the option to add a headboard if you want to, giving you the best of both worlds and the option to change your mind in the future.
If you are certain that you want a headboard, consider the type. Some minimalist beds offer a solid, supportive board to prop your pillows against. Others have a few simple bars, added more to enhance the appearance of the bed than for any practical use.
A good bed frame is a solid investment which should last for many years. Take the time to consider your present and future needs before making the purchase and you’ll be a lot more confident in your choice. The right bedframe will enhance both the appearance of your room and the quality of your sleep so it’s definitely worth getting right first time!
