Bed Frame Buying Guide

Bed frames are essential to any bed, providing a reliable and comfortable base. They also allow you to put your influence and stamp on your room because of the available styles and colours.

You can find bed frames that are leather, wooden and metal, among other finishes, with Bedstar and each style can serve a different purpose.

Metal Bed Frame

Metal bed frames are a modern, contemporary design that will fit perfectly in that bedroom. They generate a slick look and can come in all sorts of patterns, allowing you to pick your design. There is also a range of colours and sizes available. So, if you're looking for pink for the girls and blue for the boys, then metal bed frames are available.

Pros:

• Slick look that fits easily into a variety of designs
• Durability that allows them to withstand natural wear and tear
• Good long-term option
• Relatively cheap

Cons:

• It can be creaky and noisy if you are a restless sleeper
• Not as environmentally friendly as alternatives

Price Range: £80 to £874

Wooden Bed Frame

Alternatively, wooden bed frames have a distinctive style that is ideal for specific rooms. Again, different colours and styles are available, bringing much more than just a solid base to the room.

We offer both quality pine and oak beds, which give you two great options to choose from. Both have been crafted to provide durability, strength, and an attractive finish. In addition, painted colours enable you to have more options to choose from.

Leather and Fabric Bed Frame

Yet, arguably, the most popular types of bed frames today come in leather and fabric offerings. Both ensure a robust, intense look that will make your bed stand out and provide ideal support for your mattress. Velvet is a particularly trendy choice, with its excellent texture and unique look ensuring a brilliant combination for the bed frame. Another choice is faux leather, which is artificial leather. It may not be the real thing, but it still ensures comfort and for a much lower price.

Pros:

• Luxurious and comfortable
• The trendy look fits into many styles.
• Modern choice

Cons:

• Generally speaking, it is more expensive than other choices.

£129 to £2,461 for a fabric bed.

Ottoman Bed Frame

The Ottoman storage bed frames ensure you have some much-needed space, which can come in handy. It combines the bed with a large area underneath to store anything you want. You are spoiled for choice, whether two or four draw options or a bigger single space.

Pros:
