Bed Frame

The purpose of a bed frame is to give support to your mattress and box spring. The foundation of the mattress is the bed frame, and without a sturdy structure on which to set your mattress, noises like squeaking, creaking, and sliding may interfere with your sleep.

Do you need a bed frame for your mattress?

If you want to feel supported when sleeping at night, a platform bed frame is required. Depending on the model you choose, bed frames can be expensive and heavy, but they can keep mold, allergies, and insects out of your mattress and support your box spring or foundation for many years. If you have a queen mattress, you will need a queen bed frame. Similarly, if you have a king mattress, you'll need a king bed frame so that the foundation fits the size of your bed.

How much should you expect to pay for a bed frame?

Keep in mind that bed frames can cost anywhere from $200 to almost $2,000, depending on your budget. However, it's important to realize that price frequently indicates quality. Budget bed frames can have flaws like creaky slats and shaky headboards. Additionally, you can expect to pay more for a king size bed frame than you will for a twin bed frame. This is clearly because of the size difference. A queen size bed frame will cost somewhere in the middle, and a full bed frame will cost less than that.

What is a platform bed frame?

These bed frames go well with a contemporary, simple design. Due to their low profile when paired with a full size bed frame and other sizes, they are appealing to smaller pets and toddlers who want to climb into beds and cuddle with their owners. There is no need for a box spring with this design of bed frame, and neither a headboard nor a footboard is included. But if you'd want, you may always include these extra parts. If you want a bedrame with storage, this isn't the frame for you.
