Choosing a Bed Frame That Fits Your Bedroom
The bed frame you pick shapes the whole room. It holds your mattress and takes up most of the floor space, so it tends to be the first thing people notice in a bedroom. Getting it right the first time saves you from buyer's regret down the track.
If your bedroom is on the smaller side, consider a frame with built-in drawers or a gas lift base. You'll free up space that would otherwise go to a separate chest of drawers or ottoman. We have a full range of storage options if that's a priority. For larger rooms, an upholstered frame with a padded headboard fills the space and gives the room a finished feel without needing a lot of other furniture around it.
We carry bed frames across every price point. A cheap bed frame doesn't have to mean a bad one, and our cOMFy experts can point you to the best options for your budget. Your bed frame and mattress should suit each other too. The wrong pairing can mean the mattress doesn't sit right on the frame. Not sure what goes with what? Our team can sort that out in a few minutes.
Materials and Styles
Upholstered frames are popular right now, especially in linen and boucle fabrics. A fabric frame in a neutral colour gives the bedroom a warm, relaxed look and pairs well with most bedroom furniture. The padded headboard is a practical bonus if you sit up in bed to read or watch TV.
Timber frames have been around forever, and they last. Hardwood is a popular choice for longevity and suits nearly any bedroom style.
Metal frames are a different feel altogether. Lighter, easier to move, and they tend to cost less. We also stock frames that combine timber and metal.
Available Sizes
We carry bed frames in all standard Australian sizes. Single is ideal for kids and spare rooms. King single gives a bit more width, which teenagers tend to appreciate. Double works well in guest rooms or for anyone sleeping solo who wants more space.
Queen is the most popular size in Australia and suits most couples. King is the step up if you want room to spread out, and super king is the biggest we carry. For taller sleepers, long single adds length without extra width.
If you've got young children sharing a room, bunk beds are worth a look. Two beds in the footprint of one, with floor space left over for a desk or a couch.
FAQs
How do I choose the right bed frame?
Measure your room first. You need space to walk around the bed, open doors, and fit bedside tables. After that, pick a material you like the look of and decide if you need storage. Our cOMFy experts at any of our 50+ stores can help you narrow things down quickly.
What's the most popular bed frame size in Australia?
Queen. It gives couples enough room without eating up the whole bedroom. Single and king single are right behind, mainly for kids' rooms and spare bedrooms.
Can I buy a bed frame and mattress together?
Bed frames and mattresses are sold separately, but our team can put together a bed frame and mattress set that suits your comfort and budget. Buying them together often works out better value. Ask in store or give us a call.
What's the difference between a bed frame and a bed base?
A bed frame is the structure that surrounds and supports your bed, often including a headboard and side rails. A bed base is the flat surface that sits inside the frame and supports your mattress. Some bed frames have an integrated base built in, while others need a separate base. Our team can help you work out what combination suits your needs.
Can I see bed frames in store before buying?
Yes. We have over 50 stores across Australia where you can see, sit on, and compare bed frames in person. Our cOMFy experts know the range and can help you work out what fits your room. No appointment needed.
