It may take some time and consideration to get the appropriate mattress. On the other hand, as anyone who has looked for a bed frame to lay said mattress (and sheets) on can attest, the search for a suitable bed frame may be just as time-consuming. There are a few factors to think about for such a massive and noticeable piece of furniture. Which do you favor: a simple platform bed or a tufted bed with a lot of style? Something covered in a canopy or made of imposing iron? These days, you can even buy bed frames with built-in drawers, but maybe you’d be happier with some nightstands or maybe just some extra floor space. In order to aid you in your search for the perfect bed frame, we polled 15 interior designers for their favorite styles and also dug into our archives to bring you new takes on some of our favorite classics. All frames are available in a variety of sizes; we’ve provided costs for the most common queen size for convenience’s sake.
What we’re looking for
When deciding on a bed frame, it is important to take the room’s dimensions into account in addition to the frame’s style. A platform bed frame, which is at its most fundamental level simply a basis for your mattress (no box spring necessary), is the most space-efficient and minimalist option there is. All of the bed frames that our experts suggested are constructed with a platform base, so I’ve organized them according to other criteria, such as the type of material they’re made of and whether or not they come with a headboard, a canopy, or drawers. There are other variations within these categories, including updated mid-century modern, classic ironwork, and contemporary.

Bed frames come in a variety of materials, from wood, which may give a room a more natural or rustic feel, to metal, which is typically more modern unless you go with a classic wrought-iron design. A plush upholstered bed is the way to go if you’re looking for a cozy night’s sleep.
The majority of the bedsteads featured here cost over $1,000, however you can find alternatives that are indistinguishable in appearance but much more affordable. The most cost-effective option is a simple platform bed, but you can still get something with a little more style for the same price.
West Elm Simple Bed Frame
Materials: Sturdy wood slats and other types of solid and engineered wood
Katie Henwood, a senior manager at SEO firm, reviews beds.
Why did you decide on this particular bed frame?
My boyfriend and I moved into a tiny West Village apartment last summer, so we knew we’d have to get resourceful with our storage options. We were looking for a tall piece of furniture that would complement our modern, midcentury aesthetic but also provide ample storage space for boxes and other bulky objects. Here’s the tall version of the same basic bed.

How was it getting here and putting everything together?
The frame arrived promptly and was packaged in two lightweight cartons. Lucky for us, we only had to haul them up five stories. The directions were straightforward, and aside from a screwdriver, everything needed for installation was provided. Oh, and no tears were shed during assembly, which is not to be said of all the furniture I’ve ever put together. To me, that’s a triumph.
Can you say that the bed’s frame met or exceeded your requirements?
This stylish and practical frame is perfect for stowing away those extra items that have no other home. We got three of these under-bed storage bags to keep our spare clothes, shoes, and blankets from taking over the space under our bed. You can still bring your snowboard (in its carrying case) along with all of your other gear. We’ve taken to calling it “Mary Poppins’ bag for bed frames” due to the magical way in which everything inside it appears to find a home.
On a scale from 1 to 10, how sturdy would you evaluate this bed’s frame?
My overall rating for this piece is 7. We’ve owned it for a year and have only had to tighten a couple of screws twice, each time taking no more than 30 seconds.
Is this a bed frame you’d suggest to a friend?
This bed frame is perfect for those who are limited by living in a studio or one-bedroom. It’s not cumbersome like other storage-equipped bed frames, and it’s easy enough to transport to your next location. The next place I live in, I hope, will have more closet space.
Casper Repose Bed Frame

Associate Editor Zo Sessums reviews a bed frame.
Why did you decide on this particular bed frame?
This past fall I spent some time with relatives, and I quickly became tired of sleeping on their creaky, old metal bed frame. Since I already owned and liked a Casper memory foam mattress and these new bed frames were just released, I decided to give them a try. The lovely, neutral frame seemed like it would make a great parting gift for my hosts.

How was it getting here and putting everything together?
The boxes were delivered to the exact spot I specified by two very kind delivery men. Due to their weight, I required assistance in getting the boxes upstairs. I had the bed frame assembled and ready to go to sleep within an hour.
Can you say that the bed’s frame met or exceeded your requirements?
The oak bed that I ended up buying and putting a wooden headboard on was the best decision I could have made. Its muted tones make it a great option for a wide variety of bedroom decors. Although I slept better with the headboard, I think the bed is beautiful with or without it. In terms of appearance and cost, I’d say it was just what I was hoping for.
On a scale from 1 to 10, how sturdy do you think this bed frame is? 9 My niece, then aged 4, challenged me to multiple wrestling matches on the bed, and it withstood our many somersaults and gentle body slams. After assembly, I carried the frame up a flight of stairs and into a different room without any issues.
Is this a bed frame you’d suggest to a friend?
Of course. If a friend were looking for a stylish, all-natural bed frame without breaking the budget, I would recommend Casper because of how dependable it is in terms of fast delivery, soft mattresses, and sturdy construction.
Birch Natural Wood Frame
The wood used is FSC-approved (the components are made from Appalachian hardwood, Southern yellow pine, and Appalachian maple)
Rachel Fletcher, business editor, reviewed a bed frame.
Why did you decide on this particular bed frame?
I was drawn to it because of its eco-friendliness and the fact that it required no tools to put together. I also appreciated the practical, sleek, and extremely sturdy design of the frame; I didn’t want something that looked fragile or flimsy. A white wood variant is also available.

How was it getting here and putting everything together?
OK, I’ll admit it: Shipping was a major hassle, but that wasn’t the company’s fault. The big, heavy box containing the frame was left at the foot of my stoop. This was difficult for me because I have to climb four flights of stairs to get to my apartment. It wasn’t too bad of a task that I ended up disassembling it outside and lugging it up piece by piece. Putting it together was one of the simplest tasks I’ve ever had to perform. Everything went together quickly and smoothly; I couldn’t believe how well the components fit together or how clear the directions were.
Can you say that the bed’s frame met or exceeded your requirements?
Yes! As I’ve already mentioned, it was as simple to put together as advertised, and it looked just like the photos.

The Bed by Thuma
Frame is made from reclaimed wood, while the PillowBoard and slats are both made from recyclable plastic.
Associate Editor Zo Sessums reviews a bed frame.
Why did you decide on this particular bed frame?
When it comes to furniture, I always go for anything that can be put together without the need for any special equipment. I’m not daunted by a complicated plan or assembly, but I do value the care that went into the joinery. I was curious about the construction process and durability of this upholstered bed frame made from solid wood.

How was it getting here and putting everything together?
The process of delivery was simple and quick. Each component was light enough that I could carry it by myself, and the packaging was modest. Assembling everything myself got the ball rolling, but I quickly realized that I needed assistance lest I damage my hardwood floors. Less than an hour was all it took for me to assemble the bed per the straightforward instructions. It was somewhat similar to building with massive Lincoln Logs, where sections are stacked and joined in a specific order to form the final product. You now have a bedstead to sleep on.
Can you say that the bed’s frame met or exceeded your requirements?
The sturdy construction and straightforward instructions were both highlights for me. The quiet, straightforward assembly promised by the Japanese artisan method was delivered. The only things I didn’t like about the bed were how difficult it was to move and how much the dark color detracted from the otherwise nice wood.
On a scale from 1 to 10, how sturdy do you think this bed frame is? 9 Super durable! I landed several jumps and lunges on it, and it was still solid. The lack of stability while picking it up and moving it is the only thing I have against it.
Is this a bed frame you’d suggest to a friend?
If you’re looking for a bed frame, and you want something simple, modular, eco-friendly, and long-lasting, I think this is a fantastic alternative (a perfect choice for someone who moves regularly). In addition, the fact that the PillowBoard is discretionary allows you to experiment with different looks for your bed on a frequent basis, which is a good feature.
The Bed Frame by Floyd
Powder-coated steel supports, nylon ratchet straps, birch plywood with a TSCA Title VI certification, and birch veneer.
Associate Editor Zo Sessums reviews a bed frame.
Why did you decide on this particular bed frame?
Seeing a picture of a low-profile, adjustable bed frame on Instagram aroused my interest. The design, modularity, and portability all piqued my interest. That the queen-size bed frame could be adjusted to accommodate a king- or twin-size mattress, that I could install a headboard, or that I could install a drawer for extra storage was a major selling point for me. And the idea of assembling a bed without any additional hardware appealed to me.

How was it getting here and putting everything together?
My apartment building is four stories, and they brought the bed frame to the basement. I thought I was going to pass out carrying it up the stairs, even with the help of someone quite strong. I would unpack everything first and then try to transport it. Putting together the bed was trickier than I had imagined (or than it appeared on IG), so it helps to be flexible and to have some space around the frame; nevertheless, after putting together the bed several times, I can report that it is becoming simpler to do so.
Can you say that the bed’s frame met or exceeded your requirements?
I was expecting to dislike the Floyd frame because I often do with trendy pieces of furniture, but I’ve come to realize that I actually adore this one. Wonderful, really! Besides being a nice addition to my room, I like how tall it is and how the modular design makes it look. My hopes were surpassed by the quality of this bed frame, therefore Floyd, you win.
Is this bed sturdy enough for your needs? Rate it on a scale of 1-10. I feel safe enough to dive headfirst into the bed, but I wouldn’t put too much weight on it holding up under extreme conditions.
Is this a bed frame you’d suggest to a friend? 100%. This bed frame is great for those that value minimalism, are frequently on the move, or lead dynamic lives. A fair price, in my opinion.

How was it getting here and putting everything together?
What I liked best about the delivery service was how friendly the people were. Unpacking everything and disposing of the plastic wrappings was the most time-consuming task, because I dislike doing either. Building was a breeze. It had everything I needed and the only help I required was someone to hold items, so the process was quick.
Can you say that the bed’s frame met or exceeded your requirements?
Quite the opposite, it’s quite sturdy! also beautiful. It is a great addition to my bedroom, however I don’t get to see much of the headboard because of my deep mattress and numerous pillows. Also, my room is very small and even with it being a darker wood it doesn’t feel like it totally swallows the space.
On a scale from 1 to 10, how sturdy would you evaluate this bed frame?
Is this a bed frame you’d suggest to a friend?
Yes? While the choice of a bed frame is largely a matter of taste, this basic metal option checks all the boxes if you’re in the market for one.
West Elm Midcentury Bed
The slats and legs are made from kiln-dried solid and engineered wood and solid pine.
Madeleine Luckel, the design editor, reviews a bed frame.
Why did you decide on this particular bed frame?
The headboard was the deciding factor, and the fact that it was thin enough to fit in my little New York City apartment was a bonus. Midcentury modernism isn’t often my favorite style, but I appreciated the clean and elegant lines of this piece. The wood had a great, warm tone to it, and it was something I noticed as well.

How was it getting here and putting everything together?
I arranged for assembly from West Elm in addition to shipping, however it was tough to get it to come. A couple of times, several years ago at this point, the delivery guy did not show up during the allotted time period. On the third attempt, everything fell into place, but it was a pain to arrange my schedule so that I would be at home between lunch breaks from work so that I could accept it. (This was before the advent of telecommuting, of course!)
Can you say that the bed’s frame met or exceeded your requirements?
Yes, but I believe that all I really required was a headboard and the ability to fit the bed frame into my bedroom. (Just so you know, it has fit in every place I’ve occupied since.) I’ll admit that I cared more about how it looked when I placed my order than I do now.
On a scale from 1 to 10, how sturdy would you evaluate this bed’s frame?
It’s possible that I’d give it a 6. When I moved, my (excellent) movers took it apart and put it back together, but now it makes a continual squeaking sound. It was an issue for a few years before I asked them to screw it together more tightly before my next move, but it still appeared like something that could happen to other customers.
Is this a bed frame you’d suggest to a friend?
If their criteria were met, then yes. The fact that it sits so low to the ground prevents me from stowing away some of my belongings there, including my regular-sized Away suitcase. I would make a special note if the acquaintance was a New Yorker or had another city residence.
Shabby Chic Queen Folk Bed
Castors and a white, weathered finish on reclaimed pine serve as the material.
Director of Commercial Partnerships Jacqueline Wladis reviews bed frames.
Why did you decide on this particular bed frame?
When my mom was remodeling my room at home—because evidently 28 means I’m an adult now and my bedroom can no longer be a “shrine to Jacqueline,” as she so lovingly described it—she really wanted to make it a comfortable atmosphere that fit my aesthetic. Shabby Chic was our first stop. Having plenty of relatives stay with us means we need to make the most of the space, so we opted for two twin beds in the room.

How was it getting here and putting everything together?
The shipment came quickly and required no assembly. The delivery team merely came and arranged them in the room how we desired. Be sure of their final resting place before they arrive because they are cumbersome to shift.
Can you say that the bed’s frame met or exceeded your requirements?
Absolutely! It’s incredibly robust, and the beach-y feel is excellent for someone who wants a relaxed, boho-chic vintage aesthetic for their home.
How would you evaluate the sturdiness of this bed frame on a scale of 1–10? 10, I guess? We’ve owned the beds for close to seven years, and they’re still in excellent condition. After changing accommodations, we have had no problems as a result of their relocation. I, too, slept soundly here for the better part of three months throughout the pandemic (maybe it was the mattress, perhaps she was born with it, perhaps it was Maybelline), and I experienced none of the aforementioned complications.
Is this a bed frame you’d suggest to a friend?
Definitely. If you’re in the market for anything with this feel, you won’t break the bank here.
Pottery Barn Farmhouse Bed
Kiln-dried solid wood and veneers serve as the material.
Features Editor Nick Mafi reviews a bed frame.
Why did you decide on this particular bed frame?
I really like this frame since it has the rustic aesthetic of a piece you may find in a country house. It immediately gave off a sense of coziness and softness, qualities that are ideal for a bedroom. The most crucial aspect of a bed frame is its stability, which I discovered after laying on the bed.

How was it getting here and putting everything together?
The process of delivery and assembly was incredibly streamlined. I coordinated the setup with Pottery Barn, and they kept me apprised of delivery status and time. A crew delivered to my home and assembled my bed in the bedroom as part of the white glove service I purchased. The entire process of bringing the bed into the building, taking the elevator up to my floor, and setting it up in my bedroom took about an hour. I just gave them instructions on where I would like the frame to be, and they took it from there by unboxing, and setting up the frame. To top it all off, they picked up the shattered packing as well. If I had attempted to complete this task on my own, I would have needed twice as much time. I imagine if I were to relocate from my current apartment, I would require a crew of movers to take the bed frame also, as I wouldn’t be able to get it out of my flat. It’s too big and cumbersome to squeeze through the doors and down the corridor. In these cases, it’s best to know one’s limitations.
Can you say that the bed’s frame met or exceeded your requirements?
Yes, absolutely. It’s tough but still pliable, just the way I want it. What’s more, I adore how this wood bed frame does not require a box spring. That’s simply one less step I needed to take in completing my bedroom interior design. I also really enjoy how the bed frame was checked for over 10,000 dangerous substances that can be present in designs from other sellers.
On a scale from 1 to 10, how sturdy would you evaluate this bed’s frame?
I would say the sturdiness is a 9. And in reality, I wouldn’t necessarily want a 10. There is something about having a bed frame that gives just a little bit, so you still feel it’s a piece of furniture.
Is this a bed frame you’d suggest to a friend?
I would absolutely recommend this bed frame to a friend. I’m often asked this topic, and I have recommended the best-selling Farmhouse Frame from Pottery Barn on several times. It wasn’t cheap, but like most pieces of furniture that pricey, it is made to last. The design of the frame is significant in that, even five or so years from now, it won’t scream dated. If you’re willing to pay a little more on a bed frame that doesn’t have the same style as more expensive options, then I think you’ll like this one. Furthermore, it is something that we lay on every night, making it ideal for the consumer who doesn’t care that others will know what they paid for it (unlike, say, an Eames chair), but wants to take care of their body by resting on a well-made bed frame.
Burrow Circa Bed
Headboard and frame made of hardwood; upholstered in fabric.
Writer MacKenzie evaluates bed frames. Contributing author, Chung Fegan
Why did you decide on this particular bed frame?
Although I have always been on Team Headboard, three years ago when I moved in with my now-wife I accepted her minimalist, metal-frame platform bed. But after years of use, the middle pillar of our bed finally gave up, causing creaking and swaying and even some damage to the flooring beneath it. Burrow’s Circa frame, on the other hand, appeared to be very strong, and I for one was happy to have a headboard again.

Read more : How Much Sleep Do Teens Need? Tips For Getting a Good Night’s Sleep
How was it getting here and putting everything together?
To put it mildly, things got off to a bad start. My bed came in three separate boxes, each weighing in at over 50 pounds: one for the headboard, and two for the actual bed frame. I opened the boxes on the first floor and carefully carried each piece up the two flights of stairs. The bed’s top, bottom, and side rails all interlock with one another by sliding a tooth into a slot (can you tell I’m not a carpenter? ), but when I went to put up the frame, I discovered I was missing a crucial component. One side rail had teeth where the slots should be and slots where the teeth could be, making it difficult to attach to the top and bottom pieces.
The replacement item I ordered from Burrow on a Saturday night was delivered to my door on Friday. A cinch to put together after I found the necessary parts; the Japanese-style joinery fits snugly. If it weren’t for having to flip the entire frame over, this would be a job that a single person could do with some help from their partner. As someone apt to lose the little IKEA hex wrench, I enjoyed that construction required no tools, with the exception of one screw which I tightened with a quarter. It only took around 15 minutes to finish everything.
Can you say that the bed’s frame met or exceeded your requirements?
Everything about it lived up to my expectations. I opted for a Papyrus, a soft taupe with a slight sheen, for the headboard when I purchased the oak frame. The new bed’s structure is rock solid (no more creaking!) and it puts my mattress 24 inches above the floor, an improvement over the old one. Overall, the bed’s clean lines and sturdy wood construction make me feel like I’m sleeping in an actual adult bed.
On a scale from 1 to 10, how sturdy would you evaluate this bed’s frame?
Regarding durability, I rate it an 8 out of 10. After sleeping on a metal or particle board frame for so long, I can finally rest easy in a bed of real wood. Despite having to support the weight of two human sleepers and, on sometimes, a dog, the bed’s interlocking joinery ensures that none of the screws will loosen over time.
Is this a bed frame you’d suggest to a friend?
With some caveats, I’d give it my stamp of approval. There was an obvious damage on one corner of one of the side pieces when it arrived. However, this is not an issue unique to Burrow; when ordering any large piece of furniture online, you incur the chance of it being damaged in transit. Based on my previous interactions with Burrow’s customer care, I have little doubt that they will promptly send a replacement.
If the majority of buyers are anything like me, they’ll be thrilled with their new item. Not much effort was put into the bed’s design. There are no flashy design elements or bright accents on the subdued headboard. A statement piece it is not. Perfect for individuals who just want their bed to get the job done without drawing too much attention to itself.
IKEA Malm With Drawers
Product description: wood-veneered particleboard
Elaheh Nozari, the commercial director of food and home, reviews bed frames.
Why did you decide on this particular bed frame?
I had just moved into a tiny studio apartment, so storage was at a premium. The Malm’s sleek modern design won me over because it went perfectly with my apartment’s other furnishings and helped me maintain a neat and tidy appearance. Due to confinements, I also sought a bed frame with hidden compartments. There are several different Malm models, and they are all excellent for stowing things: One has side drawers, while the other has storage room beneath the bed (you have to flip up the bed base to access it). The second choice would be ideal for storing extra blankets and pillows, but I opted for the drawers so I could utilize the space for things that didn’t fit in my closet.

How was it getting here and putting everything together?
Conveniently, you may order home delivery and then pick up your purchase at a nearby store. Putting together an IKEA bed followed the same formula as putting together any other flat-pack furniture. Though I’m not particularly adept at reading IKEA assembly instructions, I was able to complete this task.
Can you say that the bed’s frame met or exceeded your requirements?
That’s right; it even improves the appearance of a bed that hasn’t been made. The fact that the bed frame is made of wood veneer isn’t a dealbreaker for me, but I can see how it may be for others.
On a scale from 1 to 10, how sturdy would you evaluate this bed’s frame?
To be honest, I never had any issues with the durability, therefore I’d have to give it a 9 or 10.
Is this a bed frame you’d suggest to a friend?
A buddy suggested I buy this bed, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. It’s simple, stylish, and affordable—perfect for everyone, but especially city dwellers.
Ikea Tarva
Made of 100% solid pine
Elaheh Nozari, the commercial director of food and home, reviews bed frames.
Why did you decide on this particular bed frame?
I moved up to a one-bedroom apartment from a studio with a full-size bed (where the Malm bed frame was used). But my new bedroom was too small for a standard queen-size bed frame, so that was the sole drawback. The greatest bed frame, in my opinion, doesn’t stick out too much (the room also has two dressers, Tarva as well) and allows for enough of a pathway on either side so my partner and I don’t have to clamber over each other to get into bed. Unfortunately, both the Floyd and my favorite Malm were too wide for me. At less than $200, the Tarva was an easy decision as the simplest viable choice that met all of the requirements.

How was it getting here and putting everything together?
Great! It was one of the simplest pieces of IKEA furniture I’ve ever assembled, and the delivery service even carried it up two flights of stairs for me.
Can you say that the bed’s frame met or exceeded your requirements?
It’s the perfect proportions, and they let me forget that my bedroom is little. Our two dressers, both in the same simple wood finish, provide the impression that we’re staying in a sleek Scandinavian lodge.
On a scale from 1 to 10, how sturdy would you evaluate this bed’s frame?
A 7 from me. In my opinion, this shows that the bed frame is not the most sturdy option, but it does make it easier for me to vacuum the area under the bed.
Is this a bed frame you’d suggest to a friend?
Yes, this is an excellent low-cost solution for a restricted area. Plus, if you’re handy with a paintbrush, you can add your own personal touch to the bed by painting the frame or upholstering the headboard.

Associate Editor Zo Sessums reviews a bed frame.
Why did you decide on this particular bed frame?
There are more than 80,000 reviews of this bed frame on Amazon, and it has a 4.7-star rating and costs less than $100. Mark me as intrigued. A few years back, when I first moved into a new apartment, I made the mistake of sleeping on the floor for a few of nights. I was unable to settle on a high-quality bed frame (and lacked the nerve to invest in myself), so I opted for the quickest and cheapest solution.

How was it getting here and putting everything together?
Easily done; little sweat. It was delivered to my house in a box that was rather weighty but not insurmountable. I like that the amount of packaging wasn’t mind-boggling and perhaps harmful to the planet. In fewer than ten minutes, I retrieved the two frame parts and the wing nut assortment.
Can you say that the bed’s frame met or exceeded your requirements?
Although the bed’s structure isn’t particularly aesthetically pleasing, it’s lightweight, provides plenty of under-bed storage, and can be easily concealed by a bed skirt or other lengthy covering. It didn’t make any noise when I moved it, and it hasn’t moved an inch since I first set it down. If you’re worried about your mattress moving around, there are adhesive strips (basically huge pieces of nonstick tape) that come with the mattress to keep it in place, but I haven’t used them. In conclusion, it’s a respectable option for a bed frame.
On a scale from 1 to 10, how sturdy do you think this bed frame is? 7. There’s no telling how long this will last, but it’s sturdy furniture.
Is this a bed frame you’d suggest to a friend?
This bed frame is the best option for anyone in a hurry because of its low cost, high convenience, and high level of comfort. If you’re staying somewhere short-term and don’t want to commit to a bed frame, this is a fantastic choice to keep in a closet for visitors.
Sundays Lean On Me Bed

Lila Allen, editor at AD PRO, reviews a bed frame.
Why did you decide on this particular bed frame?
Everything I’ve ever slept on has been a used (or “old as the hills”) four-poster bed. Possibly haunted, creaky, and unstable. In contrast, this upholstered low bed exudes an air of maturity and refinement. I’d previously been hesitant to purchase a low bed because, as a New Yorker, I need all the storage space I can get. This one is spacious enough that I can fit under some of my sweater and craft supply containers, which is a huge relief. The process was simple and uncomplicated.

How was it getting here and putting everything together?
Happily, the bed was delivered to my door with white-glove service, so all I had to do was make room for it and find a new home for my old box spring. The bed was delivered in three boxes, all of which could be carried by the freight elevator in my building in a single trip. As I need to remain in good standing with the co-op board, I was required to obtain a certificate of insurance prior to making the delivery. Assembling my bed only took the movers half an hour from the time they unpacked the boxes in my hallway to the time they left my room. Without my even having to ask, the delivery staff took away all the boxes. Hopefully I won’t need to disassemble the bed any time soon, but if I do, the headboard, side rails, and end rails all come apart using a regular Allen key. When moving, wooden slats can be left in place or removed.
Can you say that the bed’s frame met or exceeded your requirements?
The bed is quite cozy, the sheets are simple to rearrange each morning, and I adore how the upholstered style diffuses light and sounds around the room. There are no rips or sags in the upholstery (at least not where I slept), and the coloration varies ever so slightly, giving the piece a sense of depth (I slept on the Stone fabric, but bouclé is also an option).
On a scale from 1 to 10, how sturdy would you evaluate this bed’s frame?
The foundation is rock-solid, so that’s a 10. The headboard has a slight sway, so I’ll give it a 9.
Is this a bed frame you’d suggest to a friend?
That’s correct, without a doubt. For a “beginning” unit, you may want to consider a less expensive or pre-owned option, as the price is higher than that of more basic, unupholstered models from other manufacturers. This is a fantastic bed if you’re ready to splurge a little. It has elevated the classiness of my space by roughly 30 percent. The price seems reasonable when you think about how well it was built and how smoothly it was delivered.
Living Spaces Leighton Queen Upholstered Platform Bed Frame
Constructed from real wood and medium-density fiberboard
Kristi Kellogg, contributor, reviews some bed sheets.
Why did you decide on this particular bed frame?
I wanted a new outfit, and this one matched my criteria for elegance without being pretentious. This upholstered bed frame isn’t as ornate or fussy as some others, especially those with tufting. Despite that, it is completely up-to-date.
It’s also important to remember that the Leighton bed comes in two distinct variations. I tried out the one without the footboard, but if you want one, there is one available with one.

How was it getting here and putting everything together?
I also selected the whole service delivery option for a sofa, ottoman, and dining set. I felt it was a great value that you can have everything in your order assembled for just $99. The installation was completed by the delivery crew in under an hour. Every step of the way went off without a hitch.
Can you say that the bed’s frame met or exceeded your requirements?
Yes! The upholstered headboard and footboard are the first of their kind I’ve ever had, and I couldn’t be happier with them. The fabric is quite comfortable.
On a scale from 1 to 10, how sturdy do you think this bed frame is?

Zinus Linda Wood Platform Bed Frame
Material: Wood
Senior business editor and bed frame reviewer Rachel Fletcher
Why did you decide on this particular bed frame?
The Linda was an instantaneous favorite of mine; its clean lines and subtle detailing made me think of all things Scandinavian. Even though a number of the evaluations indicated a price of less than $450.00, it undoubtedly looked like a far more high-priced item.

How was it getting here and putting everything together?
I credit the fact that the box was so cumbersome to the fact that the bed frame is constructed of high-quality wood and required only mild coaxing to be reassembled and moved into the bedroom. I’m not going to pretend that putting it together was a breeze; my dad and I put in an afternoon doing it, and that was after making a few mistakes and getting the hang of the Zinus system (more on that later). While Zinus states that assembly should only take an hour, we found the process to be much more time consuming. This is likely due to the lack of on-site assembly or white glove options, which are outside of the company’s pricing range of $350.
Even though there were a lot of parts within the box, the directions were straightforward (again, after a few false starts), and everything was labeled and numbered in a sensible order (piece two connects to piece three and so on). Putting together a Zinus product is a breeze because the company supplies everything from tools to nuts and bolts.
Can you say that the bed’s frame met or exceeded your requirements?
The quality of the frame actually exceeded my hopes. Besides being aesthetically pleasing, its durability is rock solid.
On a scale from 1 to 10, how sturdy do you think this bed frame is? The bed’s exterior is composed of real wood, and its inner frame is made of metal. Once we worked out how to assemble everything, it went together like a house made of Lincoln Logs, and there were no squeaky or shaky parts to deal with. The way Zinus builds everything to fit into position is very amazing.
Is this a bed frame you’d suggest to a friend?
Definitely. I don’t think you can get anything of comparable quality for the price. And the Linda’s style is really neutral—a it’s little midcentury, a little Scandinavian—so I could see it fitting into a wide variety of home decor styles, from a rustic lodge to something more minimalist or beachy or bohemian! The world of home furnishings is your oyster with the Linda.
Copper Grove Virrat Wood Platform Bed
Wood, real wood
Kristi Kellogg, contributor, reviews some bed sheets.
Why did you decide on this particular bed frame?
I was looking for a simple, modern bed frame made of wood. Many of the wooden picture frames I found while browsing the Internet were too elaborate for my taste. Then I saw this stunning piece on Overstock and I knew it was meant to be mine.
It’s true that buying furniture online sometimes feel like taking a chance, but after seeing that this bed is one of Overstock’s best-sellers and reading numerous gushing reviews, I felt very confident in my purchase. Additionally, Overstock provides a 30-day return period and a 90-day manufacturer guarantee.
The bed arrived without a hitch, and I’m pleased to report that it’s just as lovely in person as it is on the photos. The panels on the headboard and sides really dress it up. The footboard is great for tucking the duvet in, and is another feature I really like. A freshly made bed is always the best looking option in my book.
The bed comes in both queen and California king sizes; I opted for the former. Antique gray, antique white, antique black, and oak are the available hues. I went with antique gray and I love it. It’s the ideal gray, with neither too much light nor too much dark. It’s incredibly adaptable as a result of its neutrality.

Can you say that the bed’s frame met or exceeded your requirements?
They were blown away by it.
On a scale from 1 to 10, how sturdy do you think this bed frame is? It’s solid, well-constructed, and weighty.

Yes! This bed is a safe bet that won’t let you down.

It’s a step up from the more minimal wood designs on this list thanks to its lofty headboard and sturdy construction from of solid and veneered American white oak.

Union Rustic Aideliz Solid Wood Low Profile Platform Bed (Queen)
This wood platform base comes highly recommended by Decorilla’s head designer, Devin Shaffer, for its affordability and durability. The fact that it is built to last because to its sturdy poplar wood construction and Athens, Georgia manufacturing is a major selling point for Shaffer. The “price point for any budget” plus the fact that it folds in half make this frame a good choice for him. Additionally, the frame’s rounded sides make it look more welcoming than a conventionally squared-off platform bed. Also, you can complete it yourself by painting or staining it, as it is unfinished.
Nomad Plus Platform Bed
Our no-frills budget selection, this platform bed is as easy to assemble as that one. Tze Chun, creator of Uprise Art, has one in her upstate guest room and highly recommends it. She appreciates the frame’s raw style and rounded corners, as well as the poplar wood’s balance of strength and light weight. According to Chun, “the slat spacing is very tight for a super-affordable bed frame, so it’s plenty of support for foam or spring mattresses.” This has “the look of something from Ikea, but with a more minimal, Scandinavian aesthetic.”
CB2 Drommen Acacia Wood Bed (Queen)
An upholstered headboard adds visual flair to a bed with a straightforward wooden platform structure. Megan Hersch from RoomLift says it’s a great choice because of the “masculine touch” of its “contemporary look and strong lines.” The low, angular acacia frame features architectural details like slanted braces and angled legs to support the plush upholstered headboard. This frame is also available in a more luxurious leather upholstery option, which is not seen here due to the lower cost of the polyester-linen combination.
Crate & Barrel Ava Emerald Green Bed (Queen)
Molly Schoneveld, a spokesperson for the interior design industry, suggests the Ava, a platform frame with a pop of color and a unique shape. Despite the high price tag, she insists that it was well worth it because “this stunning emerald green velvet is such a wonderful departure from so much gray over the previous few years” and “it can easily be adorned in so many various ways that would make it work in a modern or classic home.” The rounded headboard is adorned with fitted channel detailing and wraps ever-so-slightly around the head of the bed to provide a little nook that looks super-cozy and luxurious, perfect for a night of reading in bed. Lisa Spicer, a designer for the trendy clothing brand Modsy, agrees that this frame is a must-have, praising its “glam” quality and noting that it “can truly boost your bedroom hideaway while still being transitional enough to switch up throughout the years.” That is to say, it’s a long-term investment that can keep up with shifting fashions and preferences. She thinks the “luxury velvet upholstery” and “tiny brass feet” give the bed frame an extra distinctive touch.
Modway Furniture Modern Loryn Bed Frame (Queen)
This upholstered frame is another option that Shaffer advises if you like the concept of a simple platform structure but are looking for something with a bit more heaviness. Similarly to other mid-century modern furniture, this piece is constructed entirely of wood and has tapering, splayed legs, allowing it to “fit any room and practically all styles,” as he puts it. The frame’s wooden slats also make it possible to place any mattress, including a foam one, directly on top.
Blu Dot Lid Platform Bed (Queen)
Curtiss suggests this extremely low platform bed frame for anyone who would rather tumble than climb into bed. The frame may be as expensive as the mattress it supports, but Curtiss guarantees its durability for life. “Blu Dot provides a good variety of long-lasting textiles, and the quality of their construction and products is consistent,” claims Curtiss. The marine blue complements the other neutral tones available for the strong timber frame with padded rails (shown above).
CB2 Alchemy Matte Black Bed (Queen)
There are other inexpensive ways to make a bold style statement in the bedroom, and iron bed frames are one of them. Spicer recommended this box-spring-free iron platform frame, saying, “The low platform height offers the sense of greater open space.” The “sleek metal lines” of the frame give off a “industrial aura,” which she like, but she suggests softening the look by placing wooden nightstands on each side.
Anthropologie Deco Bed
This Art Deco-inspired style has a gorgeous arching footboard and headboard that incorporate oval designs, so you can enjoy all the drama an iron frame can bring. Aimee Martinelli, a designer at Modsy, suggests this bed since it is handcrafted and powder-coated iron and doesn’t need a box spring. “The curving lines of the black iron are both on style and timeless,” she explains. The bed’s subtle gold touches, though, are what sold me on it.
Keetsa The Frame Gold Brushed-Steel Bed Frame (Queen)
A steel platform bed frame, like the one we learned about from Colony design-group founder Jean Lin, is a good option if you like the metal look but want something simpler. She owns this frame and describes it as her “budget-friendly go-to.” The gold brushing on the steel gives it a gentler and more adaptable appearance. Lin explains that the Keetsa frame’s versatility is due to its “simple design and substance.” A bronze hued gloss “dresses up earthen neutrals and tones down brighter palettes.” She continues, “it’s so affordable that it allows for a splurge elsewhere in the space.”
Burke Decor Sydney Bed in Black (Queen)
That platform frame is remarkable, to use Curtiss’s word, and we tend to agree. The footboard and headboard have woven cane panels, which she describes as a “more modern take on caning.” Curtiss thinks the bed “adds a depth of color and complexity to any environment” and that the blackwashed mango wood frame is a wonderful contrast to the “simple basket weave” of the caning.
CB2 Frame Canopy Bed (Queen)
Modsy’s head designer, Megan Huffman, suggests this one because it “makes a statement without feeling too hefty” due to its “streamlined look and matte black silhouette.” The mattress looks like it’s floating because of the way the box frame supports it. Huffman also likes that it has “plated brass corners that offer a subtle amount of intrigue” and is “reminiscent of industrial designs.” Considering how impressive it is to the eye, the pricing is unbeatable.
AllModern Carey Upholstered Low Profile Standard Bed (Queen)
If you’re looking to add some flair to your bedroom, Schoneveld suggests trying out this wingback bed, which is constructed here in the United States out of pinewood. She praises its high wingback headboard, which exudes opulence without sacrificing a sense of modernity, and its unbeatable value. It’s a fact that we agree. It comes in a few different hues, but the navy (shown above) is Schoneveld’s favorite, especially when coupled with white sheets.
The Inside Modern Wingback Bed in Blush Aviary (Queen)
Interior designer Casey DeBois suggests this alternative high-wingback upholstered frame. All of It’s from the Inside’s products are crafted by hand in the United States before being shipped directly to customers. The Inside is a favorite of DeBois’s because of the variety of fabrics available (over a hundred! ), many of which include unique and amusing designs (including a collaboration with Scalamandré). Blush Aviary, a cotton fabric in a pretty pink hue with a design of birds and flowers, is her top pick. “Inside is where it’s at. Buying a DeBois bed is “just like getting a custom bed, except for the price,” he says.
Zinus Florence Metal Platform Bed Frame (Queen)
The Florence bed by Zinus is a good option if you’re looking for something with a bit more personality; its classic, wrought-iron design would fit in well with a modern-farmhouse aesthetic. It’s available in white, gray, and black and has over 3,000 good ratings on Amazon, all of which attest to its high quality and reasonable price. One reviewer said, “This bed is a big advance over a regular bed frame, however the price weirdly isn’t that much more.” They went on to say, “It was easy to install, well-built, and looks quite nice in my bedroom.”
