Choose the best bed frame to suit your space
Start with the basics: how much room do you have and what size bed do you need? A single frame can be a practical choice for smaller bedrooms and guest rooms, while double and king size frames give you more room to stretch out. If you've got the space, a super king will always be worth it for that extra comfort.
Remember to leave enough room around the bed for wardrobes and doors to open comfortably. It's also worth checking the full dimensions of your chosen frame rather than relying on the mattress size alone.
Wooden, metal or upholstered bed frames?
Your bed frame is one of the first things you'll notice when you walk into the bedroom, so think about the look you're going for. Wooden frames bring warmth and a classic feel, while metal designs work nicely with modern or industrial-inspired rooms.
For something a little softer, upholstered bed frames add texture and often come with padded or statement headboards. Faux leather gives you another way to create a bold look, while neutral fabrics can work with all sorts of bedroom colour schemes.
Need extra storage? Try an ottoman bed frame
There's a surprising amount of space hiding underneath your bed. An ottoman bed frame lets you lift the base to access the storage underneath, making it useful for spare bedding, clothes, shoes and all those things you don't need taking up cupboard space.
If storage is high on your list, browse our ottoman and storage beds for more options.

Bed frame FAQs
What size bed frame do I need?
Think about who will be using the bed, the size of your bedroom and how much space you want around it. Single frames are useful for smaller rooms, while double, king and super king frames give you progressively more sleeping space. Always check the full dimensions of the frame before buying.
What material is best for a bed frame?
It depends on the look and feel you want. Wooden frames have a warm, timeless appearance, metal frames can suit modern and industrial interiors, while upholstered designs add softness and texture. Think about your existing bedroom furniture and choose a finish that works with it.
