You deserve the best bed frame. And you don’t need to wait until you’re moving to a new place or radically redoing your bedroom to do so. In fact, the simple act of replacing your bed frame can be a redo of your bedroom all by itself.
It goes without saying that the bed is the most significant element of a bedroom (it’s in the name). And though the mattress may be the component you think of most in terms of a good night’s sleep, it’s the bed frame that most helps define not just the bed itself, but the whole space it occupies. It decides whether the room takes on an ornate, stately stature, or a more casual, calming vibe. Plus, the right bed frame can even create new options in the room, offering more storage, or new ways to lay in bed. Finding the right bed frame won’t just make for a better sleep, it’ll make your space feel like a whole new room.
The Best Bed Frames
What to Consider
Materials: What a bed frame is made from should be a key factor in deciding what frame is right for you, and its more than just an aesthetic choice. Whether a frame is wood vs. metal, for example, effects everything from how much noise it makes to how much damage it can take. Pets, kids, and even robot vacuums can all do a number on wooden bed frame legs, but some can find metal frames to be noisy or visually unpleasant.
Size: While the bed is a significant part of any bedroom, it shouldn't take up the entire room. Think about the size of the frame compared to your designated space, with consideration to how you'll lay out the rest of the room around it. For the sake of uniformity, all the measurements in this list are based on Queen bed frames, though many offer different size options.
Support: When selecting a bed frame, be sure to give some consideration to the maximum weight it can hold. Be sure to think not just about that support relative to your own weight, but with consideration to who or what else might be piling on, from hefty luggage tossed in a panic to kids bouncing up and down to wake you up on a holiday morning. We've found frames whose maximum weight ranges from 250 all the way to 3,000(!) pounds, so there's certainly options for everyone.
Whether for a fresh start, a much needed refresh, or even a panicked replacement after your last one broke, a new bed frame can do wonders not just for your sleep, but for your whole vibe. It can shake up your decor, set a scene, and make even an old space seem new, if you find the right one. So whether you're looking for minimalist, maximalist, adjustable, or even customizable, we've found the best bed frame for you.
