What Are the Different Types of Bed Frames?

Different types of bed frames can change the look of your room.

When furnishing a bedroom, different types of bed frames offer you a variety of ways to make the most of your space. The difference between a bed on risers and a bunk bed can mean the difference between one and two children using a room. Because of this, considering different types of bed frames can help you to visualize the room's layout before purchasing a bed and perhaps making a costly mistake.

Adjustable Bed Frames

Purchase an adjustable bed frame if you have a child who now has a twin bed but later on may require a full or double bed . These frames can expand from twin to full or queen to king, letting you change the mattress without having to purchase a new bed frame. These models are often very standard frames without headboards, which you can purchase separately.

Trundle Bed Frames

A trundle bed is a bed frame with the frame for another mattress stored below it, usually as a drawer or in another pull-out form. These frames are perfect for overnight guests, especially children, as they normally are twin-sized. However, consider the fact that they do limit under-bed storage space.

Combination Bed Frames

A combination bed frame has a built-in box spring, so that you don't have to purchase a separate item other than the mattress to use the bed. IKEA models often feature this kind of frame.

Bunk Bed Frames

Bunk beds are a popular choice, especially for children, as they stack one bed on top of another to help save space. They are usually connected with a ladder. However, they can be dangerous for younger children; safer models will come with a guard rail for the top bunk and a sturdy, well-attached ladder.

Bed Frames With Rollers

Many bed frames, including some varieties of those mentioned above, come with rollers on the feet for easy movement. If you often redecorate or simply want flexibility when it comes to decorating with a heavy bed, consider purchasing a frame with rollers.

Bed Frames With Storage

Purchase bed frames with built-in storage if you have limited storage space. These beds often look like trundle beds, with drawers or shelves below the mattress. You can find them in many different sizes, from twin-sized to king-sized.
