Types of bed frame
In recent years bed frames have increased in popularity as more and more people want to make a design feature of their bed as well as take advantage of the storage space you get with bed frames.
They can come in a number of styles and varieties so there will be a bed base to suit any taste. In fact the range of bed bases at Dreams ranges from the more traditional metal and wooden bed frames to ultra modern upholstered beds.
A bed frame can have a number of benefits to divans, although divans are still be bed of choice for a lot of people and do suit a lot of people. By having a bedframe it makes your bed more of a design feature as it can become a real focal point of the room. A lot of bedframes also have space between the floor and the bed so are perfect for storing things away: all it needs is a few under bed boxes and you have the perfect place to store things. Plus a lot of upholstered beds have a lift off base so you can store things inside the bed frame itself making your storage solutions even tidier. For the ultimate in luxury you can opt for a TV bed which has space in the foot of the bed for a pull out TV.
But how do bed frames work? Unlike divans which tend to have a solid base a bed frame tends to have wooden slats which support the mattress. These slats can either be flexible or rigid depending on their design and you may find some bed bases use wire or mesh to support the mattress. It is really important to get the spacing of the slats right and most manufacturers recommend how far apart the slats should be spaced depending on their mattress design.
