Collection: Beds

When it comes to choosing a new bed frame, here at Price Crash Furniture we have plenty for you to pick from, but which one is right for you?  Let’s explore your options

Metal Bed Frames

The styling of these varies massively – with everything for you from low-profile modern platform bases to traditional hand-forged looking wrought iron headboards and footboards, as well as modern takes on traditional four poster beds.

Metal bed frames come in a wide variety of colour choices to suit all bedroom furniture colour schemes, with popular choices including traditional black and white options, as well as many fancier different metal effects including silver, bronze and gold to help bring a sense of opulence to the room

Wooden Bed Frames

Through the choice of materials used and the colours of them, wooden bed frames help bring a sense of natural warmth to the room through their rich tones.

As well as a sense of natural warmth, if you opt for a solid wood bed frame, they also help bring a great sense of versatility to the room, as well as a good solid structure that should stand the test of time and everything you can throw at it.

Sleigh Beds

Sleigh beds get their looks from their signature curved or scrolled headboards and footboards, these looks being based on 19th-century French and American sleigh designs, with heavy, outward-curved scrolled ends.

Sleigh bed frames come in a choice of finishes, with either traditional solid wood construction using hardwoods such as oak or mahogany, or you can get them in a choice of upholstered finishes where materials can include velvet, linen or leather to help bring a sense of opulence to the room.

A tip drawing on our years of experience in the furniture industry is that sleigh bed frames are best used with standard or high ceilings to avoid overwhelming compact rooms.

Choosing the right size bed frame

As the bed is the centrepiece of any bedroom, it is important that you get the proportions of it right to avoid throwing off the rest of the room, and potentially making it a cluttered and unwelcome feeling room.

First and foremost there is nothing worse that stubbed toes and bashed shins in the night, as such you should always aim to allow for 60cm (ideally 75cm) clearance around all sides of the bed frame that you wish to access, this will allow for easy access at night.

If you are not replacing other furniture in the room such as your bedside cabinets then you need to consider them too.  Make sure you allow room for any cupboards or drawers to open fully, and also consider the height of them.   We would always advise as a guide to have a bedside table that sits either level with the top of your mattress or at most 2-3 inches (5-8cm) above it.  This will make it much easier for you to access your phone, glass or water, or specs in the night when you need to.

Whilst this may seem obvious, always make sure you measure the size of the bed frame and not just the mattress, as the frame will take up a small amount of extra space, or in the case of a sleigh bed can easily take up an extra 30cm of length due to the design of the footboard. 

Another pro tip that we have come to love over the years is to use masking tape on the floor to mark out the dimensions of any new bed you are looking at – this will help you get a much better feel for the space involved, and you can also use empty boxes to simulate other bedroom furniture such as bedside cabinets and chest of drawer units.
