Best Bed Frame

If you want a fashionable good looking bed frame for supporting your mattress and box spring, you’ll love the Edge Silver Bed Frame. It has an attractive silver coating, unlike most of our bed frames which are either “bed frame brown” or black. Not only is this bed frame attractive, but it is also offers great support for your mattress and box spring compared with standard bed frames. And the best news: Previously, this bed frame was imported, but now it is is MADE IN THE USA!!!

Finally, a bed frame that is easy to assemble and easy to store

I laughed when I read the instructions for our new Duraplus Foldable Bed Frame. The instructions say, “For twin size: Unfold bed frame and snap legs into place. Place bed in desired location.” Until I received my sample bed frame, I really did not believe that this bed frame would be that easy to assemble. But it really is.

Other really great things about this frame:

It’s strong and can support up to 1200 lbs.
It’s tall! You can store all kinds of stuff under this 14 inch tall bed frame!
This bed frame folds up nicely, so if you don’t need it, you can stow it away in a closet. This is unlike angle iron bed frames that don’t fold.

Take a look at our silly assembly video:

Can you convert a queen size bed to a king?

No, you cannot convert a queen size bed to a king. Think of the difference in size between the two: 16 inches. That means that 8 inches of the mattress would overhang on each side. If you want to get a king size mattress, but you don’t want to purchase an entire bed set, consider ordering a metal bed frame. Often called “Hollywood” bed frames, these bed frames are easy to assemble, relatively inexpensive, and very sturdy.

King Size Bed Frame

Bed frame sizes

Bed frames are designed to fit standard bedding.

In the USA, standard bedding sizes are:
Twin: 39″ X 75″
Twin XL: 39″ X 80″
Full: 53″ X 75″
Full XL: 53″ X 80″
Queen: 60″ X 80″
King: 76″ X 80″
California King: 72″ X 84″

The actual size of your bedding may vary depending on the manufacturer of your mattress set. It is important that you MEASURE YOUR BOX SPRING to make sure you order the correct size bed frame. Many bed frames are designed to fit one size only. (Some bed frames fit twin, full, queen, and king, but not all.)

MEASURING YOUR BOX SPRING IS especially critical when you are ordering KING or CALIFORNIA KING size. There IS a difference, and the two sizes are often confused, even by people who sell furniture and bedding. If a salesperson tells you that he is selling you a KING size bed frame or mattress set, DO NOT take his word for it. We cannot stress enough how important it is to MEASURE YOUR BOX SPRING! If you have a KING size box spring, it will be approximately 76″ wide by 80″ long. If you have a CALIFORNIA KING, your box spring will be approximately 72″ wide by 84″ long.

I recommend measuring your box spring, rather than the mattress, because the box spring will actually be the part that fits into the bed frame.

Bedding that is too tall

Tue, 04 Nov 2008 20:59:14 +0000

I frequently hear customers complain about the height of today’s new bedding. Mattresses today are taller than ever. The average height of the mattresses on our sales floor is 13 inches. Lots of people have beds that were not designed for today’s taller bedding and consequently find that the new bedding covers their headboards. Other people say that their small dogs can no longer jump in the bed easily. There are several bed frame options that are lower than standard height bed frames, but there are some other things that you can do to lower your bed.

When you shop for your new mattress set, make sure you ask for the “Low Profile Box Spring” instead of the standard height box spring. Most major manufacturers offer this option at no additional charge. Low profile box springs are usually 4 or 5 inches lower than the regular height box spring and they offer the same support and warranty as the standard height box spring.

If you REALLY need to lower your bed, you can check with your local bedding store. Many stores offer “bunkie boards” that are designed for use with bunk beds. Usually ”bunkie boards” are only 2 – 3 inches tall and should offer enough support for your twin or full size bedding. Use the bunkie board in place of the box spring.

Lowering your bed with specialty bed frames

Tue, 04 Nov 2008 20:53:06 +0000

There are several types of metal bed frames that will lower your bed. If you have a headboard and footboard, you’ll need to choose bed rails, instead of a bed frame. If you don’t have a headboard and footboard or if you have a headboard only, you can choose a low profile bed frame.

If you don’t have a headboard or if you have a headboard ONLY (with no footboard), choose a Low Profile Bed Frame.
These bed frames are approximately 3″ – 4″ lower than normal bed frames
(normal bed frames are usually 7″ – 8″ tall.) The included
bolt-on headboard brackets are designed to adjust so that your bolt-on
headboard can be attached. However, it may be necessary to
drill new holes into your headboard for attachment.
If you have BOTH a headboard and footboard, you’ll need to use
Low Profile Drop Rails. Low profile bed rails will lower your bed approximately 3
inches.
