A guide to bed frames

Bed frames come in lots of looks and materials, from simple wood or metal to plush upholstered options. Some even have built-in storage. A bed that sets the style in your bedroom or one that blends in? Or something in between? The choice is yours. See below for guides to help you sleep comfortably.

Beds with storage

Drawers underneath your bed are a great place to keep your bed linen and extra blankets or duvets, or even your night-time reading. They’re easy to reach and especially helpful if you don’t have a lot of space. You can also find headboards with storage and even beds with built-in storage units.

Upholstered means extra cozy

If you fancy bringing an extra cozy feel to your bedroom, then an upholstered bed could be for you. The headboard features soft padding and can help you get nice and comfortable when you’re reading or relaxing in bed.

Choosing your mattress

Support for your mattress

Most IKEA bed frames come with bed slats, like these shown here. They sit within the bed frame and directly support your mattress. With some bed frames, it’s also possible to use a bed base instead of bed slats.
