Best places to buy bed frames

Whatever kind of day it’s been, falling into bed is a pleasure we’ll never take for granted.

Fresh sheets, a supportive mattress and pillows so comfortable you fall asleep within minutes of climbing in. The older you get, the more it seems that this is what dreams are really made of.

A good space to rest and relax is crucial to your overall health and well-being. Somewhere to close off the world and cocoon yourself as you prepare to wind down from another day - whether you’ve been at work or play. If you’re going to shell out on a great mattress, it seems remiss not to place it on something that’ll do it justice.

A bed frame is one of the biggest and most significant purchases in the bedroom. The piece dominates the space and while other pieces of bedroom furniture may come and go, a bed frame is regarded as an investment piece - so it’s vital to pick the right one.

The first thing to consider is the myriad of styles available. Ottoman designs which lift up to reveal extra storage space are perfect for small bedrooms or homes prone to clutter. They hide things like seasonal clothes, shoes, luggage and bedding out of sight.

Divans are also an excellent option if storage is high on your shopping list. The base usually comes with pull-out drawers giving you access to things you don’t need often. With no slats to worry about, they’re a better pick for heavy sleepers.

TV beds allow you to catch up on your programmes without permanently fixing a set to the wall, while teens adore gaming beds that immerse them in new worlds the moment they wake up. Four poster beds are dreamy settings provided you have high ceilings to accommodate them.

And that’s only the tip of the iceberg. There are so many more bed frame styles out there to choose from. While the options are huge, it can be challenging to narrow them down.

So we’ve drawn up a little black book of bed frame retailers to help you find the bed of your dreams. Prices and build times vary but all offer home delivery, so you’ll have your new bed in situ before you know it.
