Bedrooms or sleeping areas can vary in size and layout sometimes making it difficult to determine what size or type of bed frame best suits your space. In todays society, residential dwellings are becoming smaller and smaller making the use of king bed frames and sometimes even queen bed frames difficult to incorporate into the rooms design.
Before purchasing a particular bed frame size, make sure you are certain that the bed can be moved into the room, and once it's in, that there is enough circulation space. Most often the head of the bed will be positioned against a wall creating movement space around two or three sides of the bed. It is suggested that there is a minimum of 3 feet of space between the bed and any adjacent furniture. Without this clearance space it will be extremely difficult to maneuver through the room.
As an alternative to purchasing a wood bed frame, many people (and I don't mean just the woodworking masters out there) decide to simply build their own. The construction of:
king bed frames
king headboards
queen bed frames
queen headboards
twin bed frames
twin headboards
platform storage beds
canopy bed frames
...can be easily achieved by any do-it-yourselfer with a good set of building plans and a few important tools.
