How to Choose the Best Bed Frames
How do you choose the best bed for your home? Aside from a style that is in accordance with your interior design, size should be your next closest priority when choosing a new bed frame. You'll need to pay close attention to important sizing dimensions like height (especially for platform and storage beds), width, length and depth to appropriately choose the best frame for your bedroom. Before you begin your search, pull out the measuring tape and thoroughly determine how big of a bed (or how small) will work in your room's layout. With a size in mind, you'll find it easy to refine all of your options and then choose the frame that will accommodate your room. Remember to consider important design features like materials (i.e., polished wood frames versus upholstered frames), colors and hardware finishes to find a bed that will have no problem blending in.

To really round out the aesthetic of the space and keep it well-lit, look to the assortment of bedroom lighting. Finally, if a bed frame is too large for any area of your home, you may like the selection of modern sleeper sofas.
FAQs About Bed Frames
Which bed material is best for sleeping?
The best bed material for sleeping often depends on personal preferences, but solid wood and metal frames are popular for their durability and support. Upholstered beds add a touch of luxury and comfort, while platform beds with slats offer a minimalist and breathable foundation for mattresses.
Expert Tip: When choosing a bed material, consider the climate of your room. Metal frames are ideal for humid areas as they resist moisture and warping, while wood frames can provide natural insulation for cooler environments.
Which bed is best for comfort?
A bed’s comfort comes down to its construction and features. Upholstered beds with padded headboards provide added comfort for sitting up, while platform beds offer firm, stable support for any mattress type. Daybeds are a versatile choice for small spaces, combining lounging and sleeping comfort.
Expert Tip: Look for beds with adjustable features, such as slatted bases with customizable tension. These options allow you to fine-tune the bed's support to match your sleep preferences.
What are good bed colors?
Neutral tones like white, gray, and beige are timeless and versatile, complementing most bedroom styles. Dark colors such as navy or black add sophistication, while bold hues like emerald green or mustard yellow can make a statement.
Expert Tip: Choose bed colors that harmonize with your room's overall palette and lighting. Lighter tones can make smaller bedrooms appear more spacious, while darker shades create a cozy, intimate atmosphere.
How long is a bed warranty?
Most bed warranties range from 1 to 10 years, depending on the brand and material. Wooden and metal frames typically have longer warranties, while upholstered beds may come with shorter coverage due to fabric wear.
Expert Tip: Read the fine print of your bed’s warranty to understand what’s covered. Many warranties focus on structural issues, so check whether cosmetic defects or assembly components are included.
What is the best affordable king bed frame?
The best affordable king bed frame combines quality materials with smart design. Platform beds are a great budget-friendly option as they don’t require a box spring, and metal bed frames offer long-lasting durability at a lower cost.
Expert Tip: Look for sales and bundles that include additional features, such as headboards or slats, to maximize value without sacrificing quality.
Where is the best place to buy a king bed frame?
Shopping for a king bed frame at trusted retailers like Lumens ensures you’ll find high-quality designs with a range of materials and finishes. Online stores often provide better variety and customer reviews for informed purchasing.
Expert Tip: Check whether the retailer offers free shipping or assembly services, as these can significantly reduce the overall cost and hassle of setting up your bed frame.
What size bed frame do I need for a super king bed?
A super king bed frame typically measures around 72 inches wide by 78 inches long. Ensure your bed frame is explicitly labeled for a super king mattress to avoid fit issues.
Expert Tip: Always measure your room’s dimensions before purchasing a super king bed frame. Leave at least 2-3 feet of walking space around the bed to maintain functionality and flow.

What type of bed is best?
The best type of bed depends on your needs. Platform beds are great for minimalists, upholstered beds add style and comfort, and daybeds offer versatility for lounging and sleeping.
Expert Tip: If you have limited space, opt for a storage bed with built-in drawers to maximize functionality without sacrificing comfort.
What is the strongest type of bed frame?

Expert Tip: For maximum strength, choose a bed frame with reinforced center supports, especially for king or super king sizes.
What is the point of a daybed?
Daybeds combine seating and sleeping functions, making them ideal for guest rooms, home offices, or smaller spaces. They’re versatile and stylish, often featuring trundle options for extra sleeping space.
Expert Tip: Daybeds with plush upholstery or built-in storage can enhance both comfort and practicality, turning them into multifunctional furniture pieces.
