Finding the perfect bed frame
Whether you’re looking for vintage chic or modern and minimalist, we offer an array of different styles and designs, so you can find your perfect bed frame.
Before you get started, here are some handy pointers for finding a bed frame to suit your bedroom.
Size up
When it comes to bed frames, bigger is better. But make sure to check how much space you have available in your bedroom, especially door openings and furniture which might limit the size or style of bed frame you go for.
Find your style
If your room draws in lots of sunlight, natural wood bed frames flourish under the rays, while bold colours work wonders if you have lots of space to play with.
Solid or sprung?
Choose between a solid or sprung slatted base. Solid slatted bases tend to be firmer, while sprung slatted bases are more responsive.
Quality design
You spend a lot of time in bed, so finding a bed frame that’s sturdy and supportive is important to its longevity. Steer clear of cheap options that’ll probably fall-short in both style and function.
Choose your style
Now you’re an expert, it’s time to choose your style.
