What you Need to Know About Bed Frames


Your bed may well be the largest piece of furniture in your bedroom, and depending on the bed frame you choose, it can be a source of convenience and beauty or an inconvenient eyesore. If you're shopping for a new bed frame, here's what you need to know:

Bed frames are sized to fit standard mattress dimensions.

Before buying a frame, you should double-check the size of your mattress and the size of the room you'll be installing your new bed into. You should take particular care in differentiating a California King from a King mattress: the longer, narrower California King mattress won't fit into a King-sized frame.

 

Some frames are adjustable.

If you may be upgrading or downsizing your mattress, an adjustable bed frame will let you change mattress sizes as needed. Frequently, however, the price you pay for an adjustable bed frame is a more utilitarian appearance.

 

You can find frames to fit a number of different room needs.

If you have a smaller living space, a frame with shelves built in under the bed or into the headboard might be useful for you, or you could consider a lofted bed. Bunk beds are especially good for children's rooms or cabin spaces. If you're looking to outfit a master bedroom, you may want to focus on aesthetics over function: a beautiful bed frame can make quite a statement in a room.

 

Not all bed frames are easily transportable.

Some frames break down into pieces which are easy to store and transport, but others either don't break down, or break down into large, unwieldy pieces. Check to see that you can get your frame into your home and into the correct room before purchasing it.

 

Not all frames require a box mattress.

A box spring provides stability for your mattress, but some bed frames provide their own support in the form of slats or mattresses. In fact, in Japan as well as some European countries, using a box spring mattress is unusual.
