Consider your mattress size, mattress type, budget, and bedroom layout. Look for a frame that offers the right amount of support for your mattress type, enough clearance if you need under-bed storage, and a design that matches your space.

Many bed frames come with built-in slots or brackets for headboard attachment. If yours doesn’t, you may need a universal headboard bracket kit. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure a secure fit.
No, a bed frame doesn’t always need a box spring. Platform beds with slats often eliminate the need for a box spring. However, some traditional metal frames are designed to be used with one. Check your mattress warranty for specific support requirements.

No, a queen-size mattress will not fit in a double/full-size bed frame. Always match your mattress and frame sizes to avoid fit issues or a lack of support.
Some mattresses can be used without a bed frame, but we recommend using one if possible. Bed frames keep your mattress off the floor, improve airflow, and help to provide better support. They can also add style and storage space to your bedroom. Always be sure to check your mattress’s warranty before using it without a frame or foundation.
Most queen frames are designed to hold a 60″ x 80″ mattress, though the outer dimensions can vary slightly depending on the frame’s design and materials. Always check the product dimensions before buying.
Slatted frames are a modern alternative to box springs and work well with most foam, hybrid, and latex mattresses. They provide good airflow and support, but the spacing between slats should typically be no more than 3″ apart.
Bed frame prices vary widely based on materials and design. Basic metal frames can start under $100, while upholstered or wood platform beds with added features can range from $300 to over $1,000. Adjustable bed frames can cost $1,500 or more, though some (like the Douglas Adjustable Bed) are available for less, with comparable features to those of more expensive brands.
Solid wood and metal frames tend to offer the longest durability, often lasting 10 years or more with proper use. Upholstered frames can also be long-lasting, though fabric wear and tear may show earlier depending on care.
To extend the life of your frame, avoid overloading it beyond its weight capacity, follow the assembly instructions carefully, and check the hardware periodically for signs of loosening or wear. Ideally, a frame will last at least as long as your mattress, if not longer.
