A wide variety of bed frames are available today making it easy to enhance your style and maximize your space while keeping you comfortable. Let’s take a look at bed frame types and their characteristics.

Canopy Bed

A canopy bed creates a romantic atmosphere. It can either be fully curtained or draped with fabric for effect. Closing the curtains provides privacy while you sleep and can help keep out drafts. Changing out the fabric on a canopy will give your room a fresh look.

Sleigh Bed

A sleigh bed is defined by a gently curving headboard and footboard that resembles the shape of a sleigh. These beds are cozy for sitting up to read in. They can be either solid wood or upholstered.

Upholstered Bed

An upholstered bed has a headboard with cushioned upholstery that’s ideal for reading in bed. Match an upholstered bed with your personal style by choosing your favorite fabric to dress it in.

Platform Bed

A very popular choice, the platform bed consists of a low solid platform with a mattress on top. There may not be a headboard or footboard, and a box spring is not needed. The simple, clean lines of the platform bed make it a great fit for modern and contemporary bedroom furniture sets. The platform bed fits well in smaller spaces and the simple look contributes to a tidy-looking bedroom.

Day Bed

With metal or wood framing only three sides, day beds perform double duty by functioning as a bed at night and seating during the day. They are great for loft spaces, studio apartments, and guest rooms.

Low Post Bed

Low post beds have corner posts that don’t exceed the height of the headboard or footboard. Posts are usually topped with a decorative finial. This bed frame style is versatile and blends with many bedroom styles.
