subject: Picture The Perfect Bed Frame [print this page] There are times when the dcor of a bedroom cries out to be complemented by a subtle and stylish bed design; when the only real answer is a traditionally-styled bed frame. And because many people consider the bed the finishing touch to their boudoir design, a massive market has developed offering a multitude of choices of bed frame designs.
For many people, the cottage look remains a popular choice. To cater for these, manufacturers offer bed frames in wood. The selection available is such that any look can be created, from clean and functional, to majestic and romantic. And of course, a wooden bed frame can be a canvas for any number of finishes, using wood stain or paint. Others prefer the minimalistic look of a metal bed frame. Here too, there are several options for the finish of the frame, including gold, silver, black and white.
By opting for a bed frame with separate mattress its also possible to achieve the ideal level of firmness in the bed to suit the user or users. Many retailers let their customers pick their preferred mattress type to go on top of the bed frame, with the interior constructed of traditional open springs, individual pocket springs, latex or foam.
A solid bed frame, especially if it is well made and properly assembled, will also last many years. Because in most instances, the base of the frame is solid, it can be economical to simply change the mattress on the bed when this starts to lose its comfort and support properties. This makes a bed frame a sensible choice for anyone who wants to stick with a favourite design and get the greatest possible use from it.
Bed frames are manufactured in a range of sizes too, from small single (26 wide) right up to super king size (6 wide). They can also be supplied in several different lengths, meaning that buyers have the same choice as they do of divan bed sizes. But unlike a divan, a bed frame allows the owner to express some of their own personality through their choice of frame.
