A guide to bed frames

Bed frames come in a lot of styles and materials, from simple wood or metal to plush upholstered options. Some even have built-in storage. A bed that sets the style in your bedroom or one that blends in? Or something in between? The choice is yours. See below for tips on choosing a bed frame and explore the different bed frame types.

Finding your colour and size

IKEA bed frames come in a range of colours and sizes to help you find what you want. Use the colour filter option when you shop our beds to find one in your preferred colour. For bed frame size, you can choose from twin, double/full, queen, or king.

Beds with storage

Drawers underneath your bed are a great place to keep your bedlinen and extra blankets or duvets, or even your night-time reading. You can also find headboards with storage and even beds with built-in storage units. If you choose a bed frame with drawers, ensure you have enough space in your bedroom.

Wooden bed frames

Go for the traditional look with our wooden bed frames. There’s a choice of finishes, with wood veneers like oak and birch where you can feel the texture of the wood and see the natural variations in the grain. Choose from a variety of colours, such as white, black-brown, gray stained, and more.

Upholstered means extra cozy

If you fancy bringing an extra cozy feel to your bedroom, then an upholstered bed could be for you. The headboard with soft padding can help make you nice and comfortable when you’re reading or relaxing in bed.
