Bed Frame Buying Guide

Choosing the right bed frame is all about comfort, durability, size compatibility, and matching your bedroom style. It’s a big decision so we’ve broken down the main points you should consider before making your purchase.

Bed Frame Size

The first step is choosing the correct size for your space and mattress. Make sure you measure your room and mattress before buying, accounting for frame width, length and depth, as well as walking space around the bed. This is especially important if you are looking to buy a bigger bed than your current one as you will need to check you have the extra space for it.

Standard UK bed frame sizes include:

• Small Single (2'6" x 6'3" / 75cm x 190cm): Ideal for kids’ rooms.
• Single (3'0" x 6'3" / 90cm x 190cm): Great for teens or guest bedrooms.
• Small Double (4'0" x 6'3" / 120cm x 190cm): For those looking for a little extra space.
• Double (4'6" x 6'3" / 135cm x 190cm): A popular choice for most adult bedrooms.
• King (5'0" x 6'6" / 150cm x 200cm): Perfect for couples wanting extra room to spread out.
• Super King (6'0" x 6'6" / 180cm x 200cm): For spacious master bedrooms or customised mattress fits.

If you find you need a bed frame that doesn’t quite fit one of the standard sizes, we also offer a range of custom size bed frames which can be made to order.

While most of our bed frames come flat-packed for easy transportation, make sure you measure the width and heights of any doors and stairways as well to make sure you can get the frame into the room.

Bed Frame Types

We have a variety of different bed frame types to suit your individual style or sleep needs.

Ottoman and Storage Beds

If you’re looking to increase storage space in your bedroom, then one of these bed frames is just what you need. Choose from either a lift-up ottoman or pull-out drawers for a convenient solution to storing items such as bed sheets & quilts.

Bed Frame Materials

Choosing the right bed frame material is important, both for its appearance and durability, especially if you have a heavier mattress. The most common options are:

• Wooden Frames: Timeless and sturdy, wood adds warmth and natural texture to a room.
• Metal Frames: Sleek and modern with often slimmer silhouettes. Great if you want an open, airy look.
• Upholstered Frames: Fabric or velvet covered frames offer softness and come in a range of colours and finishes.

Neutral Shades: Shades such as cream or grey are versatile and calming.

Cream Beds Grey Beds

Classic Tones: Black or white hues for a statement look.

Black Beds White Beds

Bold Colours: Colours such as green, pink or blue help give your room a distinct personality.
