To create a sleep-friendly bedroom where you drift off to sleep with ease every night, you need the right bed. It’s not just a comfortable mattress but also a quality bed frame that provides both support and style.  

With several different types of bed frames available, buying a new bed requires some consideration to ensure you buy the right one. 

The King Living Bed Collection offers a range of styles to suit different aesthetics and needs. In this guide to how to choose a bed frame, we explore four key considerations to help you make the right decision.

Your interior style

When choosing a bed frame, consider the aesthetics and style of your bedroom. When the bed frame aligns with your other bedroom decor, it can help create harmony in the space. A cohesive, polished look will also make the space more welcoming and inviting, creating a sense of peace in your bedroom. 

“We design bed frames to offer comfort and quality construction and become showstopping focal points in the room,” says the King Living Design Studio. “Your bed, like other furniture pieces in your home, should reflect your unique personality and design sensibilities.” 

Whether you prefer a modern, minimalist style or a more traditional ornate aesthetic, King Living has various bed frame options to complement different tastes. With its tailored bedhead and sculpted hardwood legs, the Neo Bed is a statement of contemporary simplicity. If you prefer grand design, the Adelaide Four Poster Bed delivers. The optional Breeze Canopy elevates the styling even further.

The size and space available

When you choose your bed frame, consider how much space you will need around the bed to move freely around the room. This isn’t just the difference between choosing a king, queen, or double-sized bed. Some bed frames are more compact than others, even for the same size mattress.  

The Jasper Bed is an example of a luxurious design with a low profile and a grand footprint. In a smaller bedroom, the in-built timber shelving and optional integrated Smart Accessories can remove the need for bedside tables. However, you should take into consideration the bed's complete dimensions when measuring your space.  

If you prefer or need a more slimline style, consider the Encore Bed. It offers a refined, minimalist design without compromising on comfort. The bed's raised sculpted legs also help to create a sense of airiness and depth in the space. 

“It’s all about weighing up your styling desires with the available space and ensuring you find a bed frame that suits both,” adds the King Living Design Studio.

Investing for the long-term

A bed frame is an investment in your sleep. When you buy a quality, sturdy bed frame, it will stand the test of time. That’s why it’s important to consider factors like the materials and construction of your bed frame. 

Look for durable materials that will withstand regular use, such as engineered steel frames, quality timber, premium fabrics and leather. Good-quality bed frames will also provide better support for your mattress, which in turn means better support for you and a better night’s sleep.  

“When you choose a King Living bed, you’re choosing exceptional craftsmanship and Australian design,” explains the King Living Design Studio. “Not only are our bed frames a stylish addition to your bedroom, they’re meticulously crafted to deliver enduring quality, ensuring your investment in sleep is one that lasts.”

Storage and other requirements 

The final consideration when choosing a bed frame is thinking about the practical requirements for your bed. Do you need added storage under the bed to help maximise the space in your bedroom? Or would your back benefit from a bed platform that raises to minimise bending while making the bed? Are you looking for integrated lights and side tables to create a more streamlined look in the bedroom? 

“Considered design is all about ensuring a piece of furniture is not just aesthetically pleasing,” says the King Living Design Studio. “It also needs to have practical design elements that makes living with it feel effortless.” 

The Promenade Storage Bed and Serenade Storage Bed offer under-bed storage and the option to raise the bed platform into an elevated position for easy bed-making. For beds that integrate with optional Smart Accessories, consider the Bellaire Bed or the Jasper Bed.
