    The Ultimate Guide to Choosing the Perfect Bed Frame

    June 21, 2025

    Why Choosing the Right Bed Frame Matters


    Your bed is more than just a place to sleep — it’s the centerpiece of your bedroom. Choosing the right bed frame sets the tone for your space, affects your comfort, and even influences how well you sleep. But with so many styles, materials, and features out there, where do you start?

    In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to consider when choosing the perfect bed frame — one that fits your style, supports your mattress, and meets your lifestyle needs. You can view our bed buying guide here

     2. Pick the Right Size


    Match your bed frame to your mattress size — but also consider:

    Room dimensions: Leave at least 24–30 inches of clearance on each side.

    Height: Platform beds are lower; four-poster or canopy beds are taller and best in rooms with high ceilings.


    Standard Sizes:

    1. Single Bed (92 cm x 190 cm / 3' x 6' 3")
    2. Small Double Bed (122 cm x 190 cm / 4' x 6'3")
    3. Double Bed (137 cm x 190 cm / 4'6" x 6'3")
    4. King Size Bed (153 cm x 200 cm / 5' x 6'6")
    5. Super King Bed (183 cm x 200 cm / 6' x 6'6"

    Word of warning though, you’ve got to make sure it fits. The external dimensions of the beds are often slightly larger than the mattress. We’ve got all the measurements under each product so make sure you always check these first.



     3. Match Your Style


    Your bed frame should reflect your personality and interior theme:

    Style Best Bed Frame Choice

    Minimalist Platform or metal frame with clean lines
    Boho Rattan or low-profile fabric bed
    Modern Glam Tufted velvet upholstered frame
    Farmhouse Rustic wood with headboard detail
    Industrial Matte black metal or reclaimed wood

    4. Consider Practical Features


    Storage drawers or ottoman beds: Ideal for small bedrooms.

    Adjustable bases: Great for back support, especially for readers or people with sleep issues.

    Easy assembly: Check reviews for how hard (or easy) it is to put together.

    5. Think About Maintenance


    Wood: Dust and polish periodically.

    Metal: Clean with mild soap and water to prevent rust.

    Fabric: Vacuum regularly; spot clean with fabric-safe cleaner.


    Bonus Tips Before You Buy


    Read reviews about noise, wobble, and build quality.

    Always check the weight capacity — especially for larger mattresses or adjustable bases.

    Measure your doorways and stairs to ensure the frame fits through!

    Final Thoughts


    The perfect bed frame balances form and function. Whether you love the warmth of upholstered beds or the minimalism of sleek metal, investing in the right frame elevates not just your room — but your sleep too.
