Finding the best bed frame for your needs is imperative to a good night’s sleep — and you don’t need to wait until you’re moving to a new place or radically redoing your bedroom to get one. In fact, the simple act of replacing your bed frame can be a redo of your bedroom all by itself.

It goes without saying that the bed is the most significant element of a bedroom (it's in the name, after all). And although the mattress may be the component you think of most when it comes to getting some shut-eye, it's actually the bed frame that most helps define your space the most. It decides whether the room takes on an ornate, stately stature, or a more casual, calming vibe. Plus, the right bed frame can even create new options in the room, like offering you more storage or new ways to lay in bed. Finding the right bed frame won't just make for better sleep, it'll make your space feel like a whole new room.

    The Bed

What to Consider

Materials: Bed frame materials are an essential element to consider — and it's more than just an aesthetic choice. Whether it's a wood or metal frame, the materials affect everything, from how much noise it makes to how much damage it can take. Pets, kids, and even robot vacuums can all do a number on wooden bed frame legs, while some can find metal frames to be noisy or visually unpleasant.

Size: Yes, a bed is a significant part of any bedroom, but it shouldn't take up the entire room. Think about the size of the frame compared to your designated space, with consideration to how you'll lay out the rest of the room around it. For the sake of uniformity, all the measurements in this list are based on Queen bed frames, though many offer different size options.

Support: Be sure to give some consideration to the maximum weight a bedframe can hold. Think about the support you'll need relative to your own weight, and also consider who or what else might be piling on, from hefty luggage tossed in a panic to kids bouncing up and down to wake you up on a holiday morning. We've found frames whose maximum weight ranges from 250 all the way to 3,000(!) pounds, so there are certainly options for everyone.

Whether for a fresh start, a much-needed refresh, or even a panicked replacement after your last one broke, we’ve found the best bed frames for your needs. We’ve included minimalist, maximalist, adjustable, and even customizable options — all of which are sure to level up the sleep you get and your living space.

Pros
  • Able to customize and reconfigure the frame to your tastes
Cons
  • Color options are fairly limited

The best bed frame is the one that doesn't just fit in with the space you put it but can be adapted to whatever needs, styles, or even simple whims that come along.

Whether you want to add some storage, a headboard, or a platform, The Floyd Bed Frame lets you do it all. It can even transform from a twin to a queen by just adding or removing a few panels. It truly is a multifunctional piece that can grow and change as your bedroom grows and changes.

Even absent all the accouterment that typically covers the frame, it cuts a striking figure with its modern, minimalist design. And it's that design that helps it pair well with virtually any style of mattress or bedding you choose to put atop it. Plus, since it's Brooklinen, they have you covered on bedding, too.

Available in Twin, Queen, or King.

Pros
  • Tons of adjustable features
  • Control via remote or smart home device
Cons
  • Fairly pricey

There's a reason that, despite the hefty price tag, we recently declared this Amerisleep frame as the Best Adjustable Bed Frame. That's because this frame offers an impressive amount of adjustability options for the head, back, and leg areas, which can be adjusted independently for both sides of the bed.

We also love its Wall Glide technology, designed to always keep your bedside table within arm’s reach — because as it elevates, the Wall Glide feature shifts your mattress back to keep your body in place. This frame can be controlled either via the included remote, mobile app, or smart home systems like Alexa or Google Home. It’s available in a range of sizes, from Twin XL to California King.

Pros
  • Offers ample storage without taking up much floor space
Cons
  • Frame is very heavy and can be difficult to move

Many storage beds can sometimes be more trouble than they're worth, especially if you're in a tight space. Their drawers can be cumbersome in cramped conditions, and if one breaks, you're going to have a heck of a time repairing or replacing it.

That's why we like this South Shore storage bed, which swaps out the traditional drawer storage with square cubbies and baskets. Not only does that allow you to swap whole baskets from place to place, depending on where you need them when, but you can easily replace them with equal-sized baskets of any style from most major retailers.

It's also relatively easy to assemble, with one reviewer citing 2 hours for their completion time. This frame is available in Twin, Full, or Queen.

Pros
  • Eye-catching modern design
Cons
  • Extremely expensive

It should be noted up top that this Blu Dot frame is inarguably extremely pricey. But it's also undeniably eye-catching. Its sleek, modern design feels both retro and forward-thinking, with its slender black legs almost invisible at first glance. Plus, its curved upholstered headboard is an intriguing design feature when empty and an impressive backdrop when occupied.


For the design-minded sleeper for whom aesthetics is everything, this frame is available in Twin, Full, Queen, or King.

Key Specs

MaterialWood, wool, nylon
Size66 inches wide x 86 inches long (Queen)
SupportUp to 500 pounds
Pros
  • Minimalist design
  • Durable build from 100% solid wood
  • Incredibly easy to assemble
Cons
  • Pricey

When it comes to Thuma’s bed frame, it’s all about the design. Made from 100% solid, upcycled wood (which is available in Natural, Walnut, and Espresso finishes), its versatile low-profile design opens up bedrooms of all sizes while also giving you 9” of under-bed storage. Plus, its double-strength slats eliminate the need for box springs or bed skirts.

Aesthetics aside, a major stand-out feature of this bed frame is the Japanese joinery technique it utilizes. This design feature makes for an incredibly easy assembly (no tools or team needed whatsoever). Our testers say, “I couldn’t believe how easy it was to set up this bed frame. The instructions were ridiculously easy to follow, and after unboxing it, I had the whole thing set up in less than 20 minutes.”

The Bed includes the frame, extra-strength cushion-coated slats, and the option of either a pillow board or a headboard (which will cost you an extra $600). It’s available in a range of sizes, from Twin to California King.

Pros
  • A sturdy and stylish frame from a reliable brand
Cons
  • Expensive

It might feel like footboards have gone out of fashion in the modern bed frame game, but they're a great traditional design choice that offers some real advantages, from helping keep sheets in place to helping to keep the cold air away from your feet on harsh winter nights.

The folks behind the popular Parachute sheets have now gotten into the business of beds for those sheets to lay on, and their well-regarded eye for what makes the best bedding extends to this stylish and sturdy soft-curve frame.

Available in a range of neutral colors and made to order, this frame can be purchased in Full, Queen, King, or California King.

Pros
  • Simple design
  • Easy to assemble (no tools required!)
Cons
  • Fairly low to the ground

This platform bed frame is simple yet elegant. It will fit within any bedroom decor style, especially with the gray upholstered fabric. But what truly makes it one of the best bed frames is how pain-free it is to assemble. The tool-free process has users raving, with the phrase “easy to assemble” popping up in the vast majority of Leesa’s on-site reviews.

One customer even reported having the whole assembly done in just 10 minutes. Others praise the frame for being unobtrusive and low key, though some criticize it for being fairly low to the ground as well. It's available in a range of sizes, from Twin to California King.

Pros
  • Remarkably affordable

Cons
  • Mattress tends to slide a bit

Don't let that tiny price tag make you doubt the quality of this bed frame. With more than 84,000 reviews and 4.7 stars, you can be sure that this simple bed frame will get the job done. As one 5-star reviewer says, “Since the price was so low, I was expecting something of lesser quality — but I’m pleasantly surprised to how well it is holding up so far.”

Plus, it has a foldable design, so you can easily transport it, store it if you move, or even keep it handy for guests. “It folds up very compact, is easy to fold up, and provides a really great base for guest bedding,” another reviewer noted.

Pros
  • Offers great storage
  • Can handle up to 3,000 pounds
Cons
  • Plain design isn't too aesthetically pleasing

Don't judge this bed frame by its looks. Despite the simple, bare-bones design, this bed frame can hold up to 3,000 pounds — and no, that's not a typo. It's as heavy-duty as they come, and it's great to know this minimalist frame can truly handle anything you can throw at it.

Another great feature is the full foot of storage this frame gives you, thanks to its height. You're able to stack shoe boxes or even store full-foot-tall plastic bins beneath this frame, totally assured that the items underneath will stay perfectly safe. It is available in Twin, Twin XL, Full, or Queen sizes.

Best Canopy Frame

CB2 Frame Canopy Queen Bed

Pros
  • Unique canopy design
  • Maximalist style offers distinct aesthetic
Cons
  • Demands a ceiling height of at least seven feet

Take things up a level with this matte-black pick from CB2 — a queen-sized fit for the detail-devoted. The elevated design plays with negative space beneath the bed frame, and the powder-coated steel frame is accented with brass-tone tips at the corners as a modern, luxe touch.

Though, do bear in mind that a canopy bed requires a little more thought when it comes to space, with this frame having a total height of 80 inches — or nearly 7 feet. So those with low ceilings may have to put this gilded-age glamor bed frame on the back burner for a while.

It's available in Queen, King, or California King.

Pros
  • Designed to drastically reduce movement noise
Cons
  • Headboard can be a bit flimsy

Reviewers are quick to single out this simple but stylish bed frame's frictionless design, which offers support while eliminating noise from movement. That means if you're prone to waking up in the middle of the night, rolling around, or whatever else, you can do so without waking any nearby sleepers or downstairs neighbors.

The slatted design also gives great ventilation, so you won't get too hot while you sleep, and many reviewers list it as easy to assemble. It comes in Twin, Full, and Queen sizes.
