Metal Bed Frames

The benefits of a metal bed frame

If you’ve carried enough heavy beds up and down stairs for a lifetime, give your back a rest with a metal bed frame. Not only are metal beds typically lighter and therefore easier to transport – they’re also durable, affordable and perfect for bedroom that favour classic simplicity. IKEA metal beds come in all sizes and many colours so you can match them to your style.

Metal bed frames are durable

Searching for a bed that will last many nights? A strong metal bed frame will give you maximum support for more years than you can count on your fingers. Steel is an incredibly reliable material, which is why you’ll find it in everything from cars to skyscrapers. Not even a hoard of kids clambering up to wish you ‘good morning’ will cause these sturdy bed frames to collapse!

Metal beds offer a rustic, antique feeling

Style is just one of many reasons you might opt for a metal bed frame. Metal is one of those materials which melds perfectly into both modern homes and rustic houses. From decorative headboards to shiny bed legs, the appeal of a metal bed is timeless.

An IKEA metal bed frame is sustainable

Just like wood, metals like steel are recyclable materials. And most IKEA metal bed frames are made from carbon steel. Plus, the pieces that hold the mattress in place are typically made of wood, so that makes two sustainable materials!

IKEA metal bed frames are affordable

Metal beds are the best beds for students – and not just because of their price. Compact metal beds take up less space, which means they fit nicely into student dorm rooms. But even if your dorm days are far behind you, it’s always nice to save a little cash on a budget-friendly bed. There’s no reason to splurge on a huge Sultan bed if a simple metal bed frame will do the trick just fine. Plus, you’ll sleep sound knowing you’ve made a wallet-friendly decision.

Is a metal bed comfortable?

Of course they are! Keep in mind that it’s the mattress, not the bed frame, that makes the biggest difference to your comfort and sleep. This means any IKEA metal bed frame can be made to feel like a cloud.

Discover metal frame beds in many colours

One of the best benefits of getting an IKEA steel bed is the variety of styles and colours you can choose from. Browse between white bed frames, black bed frames, grey bed frames and more. White helps bring extra light into an airy bedroom, adding a delicate touch, whereas black is more vintage, sleek and stylish. Grey offers an appearance that’s both relaxing and bold, and it can add an urban style to your room.
