Choosing a New Bed Frame: Buyer’s Guide 

Whether you’re moving into a new home or simply remodeling your room, replacing your old furniture with new purchases is often considered. Many homeowners tend to overlook the role a bed frame plays. The bed frame not only offers a home for your mattress, but it acts as the focal point of a room, bringing all the furniture and decor together. Even better, some bed frames offer potential storage space, allowing you to explore more with decor and essentials for your room! If this is your first time hunting for a new bed frame, we understand it may not be the easiest of tasks. We provide some tips and tricks to keep in mind in the search for a perfect frame for the perfect bedroom! 

Examine the Bedroom Size 

Taking the size of your bedroom into consideration is extremely important during your search for the perfect bed frame. You don’t want to make a hefty purchase on a piece of furniture that is going to take up the majority of the space of your room, leaving it tight and feeling clustered. It’s important to remember that the bed frame and the headboard can add a few inches to the bed beyond your mattress dimensions. 

Choose an Optimal Height 

Some bed frames add a significant amount of height to your mattress. If you want something comfortable and easily accessible, you might want to consider a bed frame with shorter legs that offer a moderate height. On the other hand, there might be a bed frame that is too low for your taste. Luckily enough, there are several bed frames that are offered at varying heights for the comfort of the customer.

Compare Materials

Wood and metal are the most common materials used to make a bed frame. Both materials offer special and sturdy options. The main difference between the two is the appearance, especially the aesthetic that a customer is going for. The quality of the material is also important. Both hardwood and meta are study materials, although, they can underperform when matched with specific bedding. It’s important to understand how a bed frame material will respond with the rest of your bedding. 

Choose Between a Platform Bed and a Boxspring 

With most platform bed frames, all you need is a mattress, with no additional purchase of a box spring. This is usually optimal for shoppers who are purchasing furniture on a budget. Of course, some platform beds are designed to carry box springs as well, for those who enjoy a little extra height to their bedding. Choosing between the two is also a question of firmness for some customers. 

Consider the Style and Color Scheme 

As we previously mentioned, due to the fact that a bed frame tends to be the focal point of the room, choosing the right style and color is paramount for the overall feel. If you aim to create a warm, welcoming feel, you may want to choose a wooden frame, adorning your set with quilts and pillows. Those who may prefer a sleek and modern look may want to go with a metal frame within a nude color scheme. Once you’ve figured out the style of your home, you can then choose your bed frame wisely.

Treat Yourself to the Quality You Deserve 

Choosing cheap options increases the likelihood of your bed frame failing to meet your bedroom and comfort goals. Inspecting the quality and the overall craftsmanship of the bed frame you’re looking into is important before making your final selection and purchase. Spending a little more money on a higher-quality frame is likely to offer you with the support you’re looking for. 

Consider Your Guests and Family 

If you’re looking for a bed frame for a children’s room or a guest room, you have even more options to choose from. Considering a daybed for the guest room is an efficient choice as you can adjust the room to an office space or a crafting area. A bed with trundle frames works well in a child’s room and for when you are expecting to have guests over. Bunk beds are another handy and space-saving option!
