Choosing the Right Bed Frame
Most people prefer to keep their mattresses off the ground unless they are students or have a very bohemian bedroom style. A bed frame is a good covering that supports and keeps your mattress from the ground.
A bed frame can be made in any style or appearance, including Victorian and modern, and at different prices. Choosing the right bed frame for your mattress and living space is essential.
Measure your mattress’s width and length to find the right bed frame for you. This will give you an idea of how big you want your new frame to be. Standard bed frames are approximately the same size as the mattress they are made to fit.
Your mattress should cover the entire surface of the frame unless it is designed to be broader and longer than some stage foundations.
It is essential for those looking to buy a mattress or a frame to decide how big you want it to be.
Do you have a wall you want to match? What is the space in your bedroom? Do you need it to fit between the nightstands? Once you have determined the space available, you can create a floor plan. Next, decide the size of the bed you want.
To gauge how much space your bed frame will take up, you can add approximately 2-5 inches to the mattress dimensions. This is to accommodate the Lucid adjustable bed foundation, which may contain extra stuff.
You should also be able to determine the exact width and length of your bed frame on the website where you purchased it.
Please refer to the description box for accurate dimensions if you are interested in a bed frame with additional features such as drawers, cabinets, headboard, footboard, and headboard.
We cannot give statistics about typical bed frames because there are many bed base options on the market, especially true since bed frames can have additional features that dramatically alter their dimensions.
