It’s not often considered when looking to improve your sleeping environment other than aesthetically the impact of choosing a suitable bed frame. However, for some, it can be as important as choosing the right mattress or pillow. Let us discuss some of the aspects to look at when choosing a new bed frame.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Style
Often the bed will act as a focal point in a bedroom taking up a large amount of room which easily leads a person’s gaze and helps a room look more finished. Due to this, understanding what type of style suits your needs and your room décor is important in choosing the bed frame. With this, you will want to decide if you need a headboard or footboard to elevate the frame décor but it is not a necessity, and forgoing it allows for some more space. The next step is to find what material you wish the bed frame to be made there are traditional wooden/ metal frames that do not need further accessories, along with fabric-covered bed frames that are usually platform-based. When selecting this it is best to choose a durable and sturdy material so for long-lasting furniture. In this case, choosing options such as a velvet platform-base bedframe is less likely to break and will stand the test of time. Once you know what material your frame is made from you can then select the colour. Choosing something that both matches your aesthetic and preferred ambience is important as lighter colours can be used to make a smaller room feel larger, while a darker colour can be used to make a room cosier. Remembering the warmth or coolness and the associated temperatures is important to keep in mind when you select a bed frame for a room.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Substance
Another factor to consider is the different features that you wish your bed frame to perform. One of the more basic features in all bed frames is the height and size of the frame, though the question of how big the bed is can be simply based on the size of the room or on if it’s for adults, teens or a child the height can be a different matter. This question is regulated by the type the size of the mattress and the person’s preference with the supposed optimal height being 40–60 cm. The height and size can also affect the perception of space in a room and a person’s comfort when sleeping. However, here at J&B Furniture, a bed frame can have more functions other than height and size. Options such as Ottomans or Divan bed frames can allow for hidden storage space inside the frame, which is ideal in a small room or limited storage space. An Ottoman storage beds use a piston assisted lift and close mechanism to reveal the hidden storage space underneath, while a Divan bed uses practical and versatile storage drawers. Adding additional aspects such as storage to the bed frame can have huge benefits for the comforts of a bedroom as it can reduce general clutter.

Overall, a bed frame can be a great way to both demonstrate one’s personality and improve their sleep and comfort in their life. Your bedroom should be both a place to rest and relax, so as the old Irish proverb goes “A good laugh and a long sleep are the best cures in the doctor’s book.”.
