Lowering your bed with specialty bed frames
Tuesday, November 4th, 2008There 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.
