The assembly itself is relatively easy. It takes a maximum of 15-20 minutes, and the only tool you need is a spanner. The Bed fixings are attached to the bed frame. You will need to loosen the bolts, attach the bed parts together, and then tighten the bolts.

A bedframe is usually known as a bedstead, which is a part of the bed that is used for the position of the bed base. The flat part of the bedframe, in turn, directly supports the mattress. Upholstery bed frames are very common in use nowadays and are also helpful in preventing the mattress from sliding sideways. They may also include means of supporting a canopy above. 

The structure and base of the bedframe are most commonly made of wood or any metal, and then they are covered in a thick layer of fabric and designs that you like.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of a bed frame?

You need a bed frame to lift and support your mattress. It helps prevent sagging, allows air to circulate (so moisture and dust don’t build up), and makes the bed more comfortable. Many frames also add handy storage and give your bedroom a more finished, polished look.

Why Do We Use Bed Frames?

A good bed frame can really improve your comfort and sleep. It lifts your mattress off the floor, lets air flow underneath, and makes cleaning much easier. Depending on the model, you can also get handy extras—like wheels for easy moving or a motorized base that raises your head or feet for better support.

What is the best material for a bed frame?

The best bed‑frame materials are wood, metal, and upholstered—choose wood for long‑term durability and quiet, metal for strength and value with a slim profile, and upholstered for cushioned comfort and style.

What Makes a Good Bed Frame?

You can spot a good bed frame by its support. When it holds a mattress (and you) without sagging, leaning, or wobbling, that’s a solid sign of quality. Steady and level = better comfort and longer mattress life.

What size are upholstered bed Frames available in?

At Apex Furniture Ltd, we have a 3ft Single bed, 4ft Small Double bed, 4 ft6 Double bed, and 5ft king-size bed to suit any bedroom. Our upholstered beds bring style to any room size so you can relax. These sizes cater to various preferences and needs. Look at the sizes below and ensure that you can find the perfect fit for your bedroom.

Types of Bed Frames

A bed frame is more than a place to set your mattress—it supports your body, extends your mattress’s life, and shapes the look of your room. From sleek platform beds to classic frames with or without a headboard, there’s a style for every space. Choose from wood, metal, or upholstered designs, then match the slat type and fabric to how you live. In short, you’ve got plenty of smart, comfortable options to build a bed you’ll love for years.

An upholstered bed frame is a smart, feel-good upgrade for any bedroom. Bedrooms aren’t just for sleep—they’re your calm space to unwind—so it helps to choose something that looks inviting and feels comfortable every day.

With soft padding wrapped in fabric on the headboard (and often the sides and footboard), an upholstered frame brings a warm, elegant look that’s gentler than plain wood or metal. It’s comfortable to lean on for reading or watching TV, and it instantly makes the room feel more polished.

The divan bed

The divan bed frame is a UK classic for a reason. It pairs a neat, upholstered base with castors or sturdy legs, so it looks tidy and feels solid. Think 70s icon, refreshed with clean, modern lines that slip into any bedroom style.

You can pick the feel you like. A sprung-edge divan has built-in springs for gentle bounce and long-lasting comfort. A platform (solid-top) divan swaps bounce for firmer, stable support—great if you prefer a sturdier base.

Want edges that stay supportive? Go for a firm-edge design to keep the sides from dipping. It helps the mattress feel consistent edge-to-edge, which is handy for sleepers who use the whole surface.

Short on storage? Many divans hide roomy drawers or lift-up space under the base. It’s perfect for stashing bedding, pillows, or shoes—keeping your room calm, clutter-free, and guest-ready.

sprung or solid slats

A great bed starts with the parts you don’t see: the slats beneath your mattress. Their spacing shapes day-to-day comfort, long-term support, and how well your mattress holds up over time. Think of them as the quiet foundation of better sleep.

For reliable performance, aim for around 75 mm between slats (about 3 inches). This sweet spot distributes weight evenly, prevents foam and hybrid mattresses from sagging, and allows airflow to keep things fresher. Wider gaps tend to create dips, reduce support, and shorten mattress lifespan.

When checking your frame, measure the gap between slats, not just the slat width. If it’s over ~75 mm, consider adding extra slats or choosing a frame with tighter spacing. A small adjustment here delivers a big upgrade to nightly comfort.

What are sprung slats?

Sprung slats are slightly curved wooden slats that flex under your weight, giving your bed a gentle bounce and cushioned feel. The curved shape acts like a mini-suspension, spreading pressure more evenly across hips, shoulders, and back for extra comfort.

They’re usually made from laminated softwoods (often beech) to stay strong yet flexible, and many frames include adjustable sprung slats so you can fine-tune the firmness on each side. If you like a bit of “give” rather than a very firm base, sprung slats are a great pick.

solid slats

Solid slats are a simple, classic choice. They’re fixed wooden boards—often solid pine—that make a flat, sturdy base for your mattress. Because they don’t flex much, the bed feels firmer and well supported. They’re usually budget-friendly and great if you prefer a steady, no-fuss setup.

Types of Bed Frame Materials

Here’s the fun part—choosing the look and material of your bed frame. Picture how it will sit in your room: a bold, show-stopping design, a classic upholstered style with soft edges, or a clean, slim profile that’s perfect for smaller spaces. Pick the one that matches your vibe and makes the whole room feel just right.

wooden bed frames

Wooden bed frames are a timeless, easy-to-match choice. They’re sturdy and built to last, and the open space underneath is handy for storage boxes or baskets.

Versatile by design, wood works just as well in a child’s room as it does in a guest room or main bedroom—bringing warmth and a natural look to any space.

metal bed frame

Metal bed frames bring a sleek, modern touch to any room and feel effortlessly sophisticated. They’re durable yet lighter than many wooden options, which makes them great if you like to shuffle furniture or move homes.

Their slim lines create an airy look that can make small rooms feel bigger, and they come in plenty of striking designs—from minimal and clean to ornate and eye-catching—so it’s easy to find a style you love.

fabric bed frame

Metal bed frames are a versatile pick, with styles that range from clean and minimalist to classic, vintage-inspired designs. Their slim lines bring a modern touch and can make a real statement in your décor.

They’re typically lighter than wood, so they’re easy to move if you like to rearrange. While overall feel can be a bit less solid than heavy hardwood, good metal frames are still durable—and their airy profile can even make smaller rooms look more spacious.

7 Reasons to Buy a Bed Frame

Buying a bed frame is the first step to a better sleep setup. It spreads weight evenly so your mattress lasts longer, lifts the bed to a comfy height, and often adds handy storage underneath. A solid frame also keeps things quiet and stable—no squeaks, no wobble—while tying the whole room together. Plus, proper support helps protect your mattress warranty.

1. Mattress Longevity and Support: A bed frame—whether platform, slatted, or box-spring—gives your mattress even, stable support. This helps prevent sagging, keeps its shape, and extends its lifespan for more comfortable sleep over time.

2. Improved Comfort: A well-built frame creates a stable, level base for your mattress, boosting support and overall coziness—so it’s easier to relax and fall asleep.

3. Under-Bed Storage: Many bed frames leave useful space beneath the mattress—perfect for stashing boxes, bedding, or seasonal items—so your bedroom stays tidy and organized.

4. Aesthetic Appeal: A bed frame anchors the room and brings everything together. It gives your space a polished, finished look and elevates the overall style and mood of your bedroom.

5. Increased Height: A bed frame lifts your mattress off the floor to a more comfortable height, making it easier to get in and out of bed. This added elevation can be especially helpful for anyone with mobility concerns.

6. Protects Your Mattress Warranty: Many mattress brands require a proper bed frame for the warranty to stay valid. Using the right foundation—with adequate support—helps maintain the mattress’s structure and keeps your warranty in good standing.

7. Stability and Durability: A solid, well-made bed frame keeps your setup steady and quiet. Quality materials resist wobbling and squeaks, delivering a calm, secure night’s sleep—night after night—for years to come.

Bed Frame – Which One Is Right for You?

When choosing a new bed, focus on two essentials: the space you’ve got and the style you love. To pick the right bed frame, match the size to your room and mattress, choose a style that fits your needs (platform, storage, or adjustable), select a material that suits your look (wood, metal, or upholstered), and keep your budget and long-term durability in mind.

What size bed will fit in your room?

If two people will be sharing the bed, aim for at least a double—and go bigger if your room allows, so you both have space to stretch out. To see what will fit, measure your room carefully (doorways and walkways too) and check our measuring guide for quick tips on sizing and choosing the right frame.

What bed suits your style?

Next, think about the look and feel of your bedroom—now or how you plan to decorate it. For a calm, neutral retreat, light tones work beautifully, especially in wood or fabric. 

Short on space? Consider a storage bed. It gives you extra room for essentials and is especially handy in a child’s bedroom where clutter can build up fast.

Factors to Consider When Buying a Bed Frame

When you’re buying a bed frame, start with the basics: your budget, the style you like, and whether you need storage. Make sure the size, material, and height work with your mattress and the room’s dimensions. Look for solid build quality—think sturdy rails, a reliable slat system or center legs for support—and choose something that assembles easily and feels stable once it’s in place.

1. Size & Space

  • Room Dimensions: Measure your space so the bed fits comfortably and leaves enough walkway—no cramped corners or cluttered feel.
  • Mattress Compatibility: Make sure the frame’s inside measurements match your mattress size exactly, so it sits snugly without sliding or gaps.

2. Material & Durability

  • Quality Materials: Choose frames built from durable materials like solid wood or metal—they offer better stability, resist wear, and stay reliable for years.
  • Construction: Check for strong joinery and solid support—think a robust slat system and center legs—to keep the bed steady and quiet.

3. Functionality & Storage

  • Storage Needs: If you’re short on space, pick a frame with built-in drawers or an ottoman lift so you can stash bedding, clothing, and other essentials neatly out of sight.
  • Frame Height: Choose the profile that fits your look and comfort—lower frames feel light and airy, while higher frames feel cozy and substantial (and can be easier to get in and out of).

4. Practical Considerations

  • Budget: Set a clear, realistic budget so you can balance quality with cost and avoid overspending.
  • Assembly: Check how easy it is to put together and how it’s delivered—especially important if you’ll assemble it yourself.
  • Weight Limit: Make sure the frame’s weight rating suits your setup, including a heavier mattress and multiple sleepers if needed.
