If you are new to shopping for beds, you need to know a little bit
about the different selections of bed frames that you can choose from.
The size of your bed frames will dictate your bed size, the size of your
sheets, and also the amount of comfort that you can expect while you
sleep at night. Before you decide which bed frames to buy, read this
guide to learn about the different bed frames that are currently
available on the market.

There are five main sizes that bed frames are available in – twin,
full, queen, king, and California king. Twin bed frames are the
smallest, and are typically reserved for children and small adults. Full
bed frames are slightly wider than twin bed frames, and can usually
have enough room to fit two children, or two small adults. An adult of
regular size can also fit comfortably in a full bed frame. Queen beds
are large enough to hold two average adults, and are often spacious
enough to allow for a lot of different pillows, decorations, and other
knickknacks. They are spacious and luxe. King sized bed frames are
massive, and can fit two, possibly three large adults without having any
comfort sacrificed. California king bed frames are even larger, and are
difficult to find.
One of the main factors, aside from
personal space, that needs to be addressed while shopping for bed frames
is price. The larger the bed frame, the more it will cost. Along with
the price of the bed frame, people who are shopping for beds also will
need to consider the cost of the head boards, as well as the cost of the
bedding and mattress that they will need to buy in order to actually
use the bed frames. It's not uncommon to find out that a sheet set will
cost ten or fifteen dollars more if you have to get a higher size than
twin, or full. Mattresses can easily cost hundreds of dollars more with
every size increase that you will have to make. If you cannot afford to
buy all the hidden extras that come with a large bed frame set, you need
to find a more affordable option.
Along with size and price,
it should be noted that not all bed frames are alike in design or
quality. Wooden bed frames are still the most common form of bed frames
on the market, and also are considered to be one of the most stylish and
durable. Metal bed frames are more sturdy, and will last longer than
wood bed frames, but the style that they offer isn't for everyone's
tastes. It's best to avoid bed frames made out of plastic or composite
material, since they don't have as good a track record when it comes to
durability.
Many people will worry about sacrificing style
by choosing a very durable (but unsightly) bed frame. However, there are
bed kits that give homeowners the opportunity to hide the unsightly
metal bed frame by installing a secondary wooden bed frame around it.
Bed frames often are also hidden by sheets, throws, and blankets. So, if
you don't want to worry about style, you don't have to.
The
key to finding great bed frames is know what you are going to be using
those bed frames for. Getting a size that's appropriate for the purpose
is a good way to ensure that you won't overspend on your bed frames. For
instance, does an 8 year old child really need a king size bed? If you
are a newlywed couple, getting a twin bed frame is a good way to make
sure that neither of you feels comfortable. If you aren't sure what size
bed frame you need, asking a salesperson what would be the best option
is a good way to find out. Or, you can veer on the side of caution and
choose a size larger than you would normally need.
Getting
your bed frames is an absolute must if you want to actually have a bed
to sleep in. Luckily, bed frames of all sizes are affordable if you go
to the right sellers to find them. The only way to find the right bed
frames is to shop around, so start your shopping journey as soon as you
can.
