Bed Frames

Guides on Buying Bed Frames in Singapore

When it comes to a good night’s sleep, the first thing that comes to mind is having a good mattress! But what many people tend to neglect is that a mattress without a proper bed frame is like a house without its foundation.

So, if you’re planning on a good night’s sleep, you’ll need to make sure you get a suitable bed frame to accompany your good-quality mattress.

Not sure how to go about picking the right bed frame? Our furniture experts at Lulu Furniture are here to walk you through the various aspects you need to consider.

Figure Out Your Budget for the Bed Frame

As with all different types of furniture, bed frames come in different price ranges – from low-cost bed frames under SGD 100 to super high-end ones above SGD 1000. As such, knowing your budget helps to narrow down your options significantly, so we suggest starting with that.

While it may be tempting to go with the cheapest option, since mattresses are already expensive, do keep in mind that a sturdy, stable, and supportive bed frame will need to be built from quality materials and might cost a little more.

Size of Your Mattress to Match the Bed Frame

If you have already decided on a mattress, this step is simple – just make sure to look for a bed frame that matches the dimensions of your mattress.

Good news? Most bed frames offered by Singaporean retailers are designed to fit the standard mattresses sizes here:
• King Size – Width 183 cm X Length 190 cm
• Queen Size – Width 152 cm X Length 190 cm
• Super Single – Width 107 cm x Length 190 cm
• Single – Width 91 cm X Length 190 cm

Note, not all bed frame models come with every single size. So, make sure to check that your choice of bed frame fits your mattress size.

Decide on Your Height Preference for the Bed Frame

If you’ve ever found it difficult to climb into bed or get off your bed, then you’ll know exactly how important it is to get your bed frame height just right.

One common way to test for the ideal bed frame height is to find a chair that you can comfortably sit in (with feet resting on the ground) and measure the distance from the seat to the floor – that’s the ideal combined height of your bed frame and mattress. The idea is that you should be able to get off your bed comfortably like you can get off a chair.

Have kids or pets that share your bed? Then you might need to accommodate their needs with a shorter bed frame.

Storage Requirements for the Bed Frame

Find your bedroom storage compartments lacking? In this case, you might want to consider a bed frame that offers storage compartments, fully maximizing the valuable real estate it is taking up.

Depending on your needs, these common types of bed frame storage might be useful for you:
• Under the bed pull-out storage drawers
• Storage under a lift-up frame
• Headboard storage cabinets

Whichever option you choose, you’ll find that bed frames that come with additional storage compartments are a convenient way to help keep your bedroom space organized and tidy.

Headboard with the Bed Frame or None?

For many people, headboards tend to be viewed as a decorative feature of modern bed frames, but there are some benefits to them that you might want to consider.

Have the habit of leaning up against the wall as you indulge in a mystery novel or Korean drama before bed? A headboard (upholstered or propped with a pillow) would help provide support for your back and neck so that you can sit up comfortably in bed.

That’s not all, headboards also come in handy in avoiding direct contact with the wall behind and dirty or damage it over time.

Find yourself feeling cold at night? A headboard can act as an insulation barrier between your mattress and the walls to keep the chills away.

Style & Aesthetic of the Bed Frame

Now that you’ve gotten the various functional considerations out of the way, it’s time to follow your heart when it comes to aesthetics.

Here are the top bed frame styles you’ll come across in the market:
• Wooden bed frames – the most typical bed frame of normal height, usually comes with a headboard
• Platform bed frames – characterised by low height (close to the ground) or even legless and minimalist structure
• Storage bed frames – two main categories include sliding drawers or lift-up beds’
• Canopy bedframes – comes with four posters at the corners of the bed frame, usually for you to drape fabric across the top for added privacy or drama
