Bed Frames

Bed Frames from Wood
Wooden bed frames work best for an average weight load; if used for heavier mattresses and box springs, they might break. Wooden bed frames are very attractive. You can match frames with headboards and side rails. When used correctly, wooden bed frames can last for years and years.

Bed Frames from Metal
Metal frames can be used with many wooden headboards or used on their own. They are often sold separately; plus, they are an economical, sensible choice. Most metal bed frames will last through a lifetime, being made from lightweight steel.

Bed Frames from Iron
If you are looking for long-lasting, heavyweight support, iron bed frames will not disappoint you. Less expensive than wood frames with headboards, many iron bed frames include an iron headboard.

Bed Frames from Other Materials
Obviously, if you choose a water bed, you should use only a bed frame designed for water bed mattresses. Otherwise, you risk damage to your mattress (and other belongings when they get wet from the ruptured mattress). Also, daybeds and twin beds are two beds you might want to consider using with a trundle bed - a bed that fits beneath the twin or daybed and can be pulled out when needed. Trundle beds require a special metal trundle frame. Trundle frames accommodate a twin size mattress.

Choosing the right support system for your bed is an important decision. Quality frames that suit your mattress and box spring will prevent damage to your mattress, and possible injury. Bed frames help to provide you with a good night's sleep.
