Bed FramesThe foundation of a bed is its frame. Buying a quality frame, whether wood or metal, is important for comfort, safety and durability. Deciding on a bed frame is crucial if you’re considering a new bed for your home. Remember: Mattresses are usually sold separately.
Basically, you need to consider two aspects of bed frames: sizes and types.
Sizes
Bed frames generally come in 5 sizes:
But not every bed offers each of those sizes. Check to see if the bed you like offers the size you want.
Types
Frames come in either wood or metal. The bed you choose will usually determine whether you’ll get a wood or a metal frame with it.
Some examples of beds and their wood frames:
ü Sleigh beds with slats for center support
ü Panel beds or upper wood bunk beds with short bed rails for mattress support
ü Platform beds with posture boards
Some examples of beds and their metal frames:
Some four poster beds, canopy beds and sleigh beds require a separate purchase of a frame.
Futons
Futons offer a variety of choices in frames that feature position adjustments (sofa, lounger, bed)

Before you choose a bed, be sure the frame you want will match it. After all, every bed needs a solid, durable foundation.
