Bed frame

Single & Double Bed Frames

Bed frame, can be defined as a bed frame that supports the mattress. Made from materials such as wood, metal and MDF, the bed frame can be offered in options that appeal to different tastes, or with leather or fabric upholstery.
The focal point of a bedroom is the bed frame. Most bed frame models come with a headboard. Bed frames are basically designed to hold the mattress inside them, so it is natural for them to be wider than the mattress. Some models, especially storage beds, can have exactly the same dimensions as the mattress, whether they are double or single.
A bed frame is not only the focal point of the décor; it is also a very important piece of furniture because it provides the bed's strength. The materials used in its design and the support types chosen for the sleeping surface directly affect the comfort the bed offers, while also helping the bed last a long time.

Bed Frame Sized to Fit Any Mattress

There is a wide range of bed frame models available on the market, in sizes to suit every taste and preference. Bed frames come in many different styles and are chosen to match both how they will be used and the décor you have in mind, while also meeting the needs that come with different mattress sizes.
Baby, child and adult beds when it comes to this, having different size options becomes a necessity. The mattress length you prefer is also important when choosing between a single bed and a double bed. Beds that are 140 cm wide are considered standard double beds. However, double bed models can be up to 240 cm wide.
Although 90 cm is the standard for single beds, some single beds are 70 cm wide, so a single bed frame that fits this width can be found. When choosing a bed frame, consider the style you want to create, the usable space in the bedroom, and what is used in the room wardrobe and other deciding criteria such as the wardrobe or the size of wardrobe you need.

Determining Bed Frame Height

One of the most important things when choosing a bed frame is deciding which height profile the bed should have.
Standard Profile: The most common bed frame style. Heights commonly range from 33 - 40 cm.
Low Profile: Bed frame has a design that sits closer to the floor and is preferred for small rooms and minimalist decor. They are designed to be lower than 33 cm.
High Profile: A bed frame design that is 40 cm or more in height is called high profile. It suits large rooms, spaces that need storage and tall beds.

There is a simple test you can do at home to work out the ideal bed height for personal use. Sit on a chair where your feet rest comfortably on the floor and note the height of the seat from the ground. If the bed frame and mattress together come out taller than that, getting in and out of bed may be difficult. The result of this simple calculation should be taken into account especially by people with knee or leg problems.

Choosing a Size Based on Your Bedroom Space

When choosing a bed frame, you should also consider the size of the bedroom where it will go. Nobody wants a bedroom where it is impossible to move around comfortably. If the bedroom is also where furniture such as a wardrobe will be placed, the choice needs even more care.
A bed frame is a piece of furniture that is best positioned in the bedroom with the headboard against the wall and the sides left free. When the gap on each side of the bed is about 60 cm, there is enough room to move around. Gaps at the sides of the bed help prevent minor accidents when getting in and out of bed and make cleaning more comfortable.
In small rooms, one side of the bed may need to be placed against the wall. In this case, it is recommended that the foot end of the bed is not at a height that makes getting out of bed difficult. Leaving 60 cm of space from the foot of the bed will help you move around comfortably.

Choosing a Bed Frame by Your Usage Needs

When choosing a single bed in particular, it is advisable to determine your usage needs first. When choosing a bed for children, height-adjustable models stand out because they can be used for many years.
Baby cribs can be extended for use up to the age of 6. Another alternative is to choose a new single bed at around age 6, making sure it is one of the models that can be lengthened. This way, you end up with a piece of furniture suitable for use in a teen bedroom.
For double bed models too, it is recommended to choose a bed frame that supports each person's preferred mattress. Your choice of double bed can depend on factors such as how much support the mattress will get and whether you will use extras like a mattress topper.

Choosing a Bed Frame That Fits Your Mattress

When buying a bed frame for an existing mattress, you need to consider models that suit the mattress size. When choosing among bed frame models for an existing mattress, keep in mind that the mattress must fit inside the frame. This means adding 4 - 10 cm to the mattress dimensions. Setting the minimum dimensions this way when choosing a bed frame makes it easier to work out what kind of product you need.
When choosing a bed frame for your mattress, keep in mind that a frame much larger than the mattress can make it harder to choose a duvet. For the duvet to look neat in the bedroom, it should hang over both sides of the frame by an ideal amount.

Deciding on a Bed Headboard

When determining the ideal bed size, the headboard is a component you must take into account. Even the most minimal, simple headboard takes up at least 5 cm between the bed and the wall, so in small rooms you may need to opt for a headboard-free design.
If the room is large, headboards that can double as a storage chest may come into play, depending on the storage needs of the household. Since the headboard on bed frame models is a detachable, re-attachable fitting, remember that a headboard can be added later to a bed frame originally chosen without one.

Bed Frame Models in Every Colour and Material

The design of furniture models that can adapt to different decoration styles has been accelerating in recent years. Combining different colour and design combinations to create unique spaces offers endless decorating possibilities, which greatly helps make living spaces one of a kind.

Leather Bed Frame Models

You can choose from leather bed frame models to achieve a stylish and sophisticated look. Because leather is a material that easily shows natural marks and flaws, it is a better choice for the bed frames in adult bedrooms. Leather bed frame models, which highlight their appearance and feel while also showing their quality at first glance, are commonly designed with a headboard added.
Because leather stands out strikingly on a headboard, we recommend choosing models with a full leather headboard rather than models where only the frame is leather. It is also useful to consider your home's specific conditions when choosing. In homes with pets, leather headboards may become deformed from scratching.

Decoration Tips for Leather Beds

When an elegant, sophisticated look is the goal, leather and velvet are among the most popular choices. Combining the two also feels luxurious and grand. For those who want softer transitions alongside leather, chenille bedspreads and throws help give the room a warmer, more inviting feel. Satin and silk are two other textures that suit the bold look of leather very well. A satin duvet cover set chosen to match the colour of the leather on the bed can complete the whole décor on its own.

Metal Bed Frame Models

Metal bed frames, favoured by those who want to create a romantic and elegant atmosphere, are made from durable materials such as iron, brass and aluminium. Although black and white are the most common colours, designs in romantic shades such as pink are also available. In these pieces, also known as wrought iron beds, the bed frame doesn't take up much space. Since it occupies almost the same area as the mattress itself, it can be a good choice for small rooms.

Decoration Tips for Metal Bed Frames

With a metal or wrought iron bed frame, it is possible to enjoy many different styles in one. Wrought iron single bed frame models are also among the standout designs, especially for teenage girls' rooms. Combining the distinctive details of metal bed frames with a canopy mosquito net helps create a very stylish look.
If you want an industrial look, dark-coloured bedspreads and duvet cover sets are a good choice. For lighting, grey and black can again take centre stage in the lampshade.
To create a simple yet comfortable space with softer transitions, you can use plenty of cushions when decorating a metal bed frame, choose a long-pile rug under the bed, or place two small rugs on either side of it. Orange tones with black metal, and blue and navy with white metal, help achieve a softer, warmer look.

Wooden Bed Frame Models

Wooden bed frames are the choice of those who want to create a warm feel in the bedroom. Bed models made from woods in different colours, such as oak, pine, ash and walnut, come in styles to suit any decor.
Designs can come with or without legs. Headboards may be made of slats, and there are also upholstered headboards and options with storage chests or bookshelves. Wood is a very strong and durable material, and it is also preferred because it is easy to clean.

Decoration Tips for Wooden Bed Frames

Wooden bed frame models are a favourite of those who love warm, natural colours, and they can be styled in many different ways. The most popular ideas are decor schemes that put cream and brown tones front and centre. For a rustic look that highlights the wood, a brown storage bench at the foot of the bed and a brown knitted shawl thrown over the bed make a good choice.
The range of colours that works in a bedroom depends on the type of wood. With a light wood such as birch, you can choose from a very wide palette, from soft shades like light blue, pink and green to bold ones like red or navy blue.
For beds in which darker colours such as walnut or beech dominate, a tone-on-tone effect in cream or paper-bag brown can be preferred. Alternatively, choosing pastel tones can balance out the dark look.

Fabric Bed Frame Models

These are designs made by upholstering a metal or wooden bed frame with foam and fabric. For a decorative look, you can choose fabrics that match the rugs or curtains used in your bedroom décor.

Decoration Tips for Fabric Bed Frames

Fabric bed frame models can pair very well with linen bedding sets. Because fabric adds to layered decoration, using a bed throw and a few extra cushions in addition to the bedspread is a good choice, making the most of bed textiles in your décor.
A navy blue fabric bed frame gets a bold, eye-catching look with white and mustard yellow. When pink and cream tones are added to the decor, the result is a more romantic and calming interior.
Decorating around a fabric bed frame can be somewhat limiting because of the fabric colour. Focusing on colours such as cream, navy blue and black, which go with different colour combinations, can make it easier to change the decor later.

With or Without a Storage Base

When choosing a bed frame, you need to consider practical needs as well as décor. Using a floor mattress and skipping an extra piece of furniture may sound like a good idea, but even floor mattresses need back support. A bed frame offers four advantages.

Storage Space

Bed frame models are often designed to keep the mattress higher off the floor. This creates a space between the mattress and the floor that is worth making use of, and it can be used for storage. Depending on the model, furniture is offered either as a storage bed (with a base) or as a bed frame without one, so the choice of storage can be shaped by your decor preferences. Making this choice helps you meet your storage needs the way you want.
Storage bed designs offer storage in a very spacious area that is at least the size of the mattress and higher than the mattress. Models without a storage base can be chosen with an empty space under the bed, depending on the space in the bedroom and your needs. However, a bed with drawers underneath makes it easier to organise items into compartments and gives you the comfort of opening just one drawer whenever you need something.
If you choose a bed model with an empty space underneath and your storage needs grow, you can meet them with wheeled boxes or storage bags that fit under the bed.

Mattress Support

Bed frames serve as a base designed to hold mattresses in place. Using a bed frame is important to keep the mattress firmly in position, prevent it from slipping and help support the body. A bed frame helps distribute body weight evenly across the mattress. This is the best way to prevent mattress sagging, which causes back and neck discomfort and makes it harder to sleep.

Aesthetic

Using a mattress without a bed frame is not recommended. It can serve all the functions of a bed, but it certainly does not look good. The bed is the centrepiece of the furniture in a bedroom; in other words, it is the focal point of the room. Without that focal point, the décor will feel incomplete. Whether classic, modern, wooden or metal, a bed frame completely changes the look of a room. For a floor-bed experience, you can choose from low-profile bed frame models that sit close to the ground.

Need for an Extra Bed

These are bed frame designs with another bed built inside. They are designed with a high profile. On top there is a single or double bed. In the area underneath, which serves as the bed base, a single bed is hidden away. A bed on wheels is pulled out and ready for use. These beds also offer safety for children. They can be chosen as a precaution against a child falling out of bed.

They are a popular choice for narrow spaces and homes that host overnight guests, as they offer an extra sleeping area while saving space. Because the lower mattress of a trundle bed sits very low, it also eases safety concerns in rooms where small children live.
