What Is The Best Bed Frame To Buy?

If you are replacing an old bed frame or upgrading to something sturdier, the search can get confusing fast.

Which Type of Bed Frame Is Best?

Ask ten people what bed frame is best and you will probably get ten different answers. The right choice depends on how you sleep, how you use your room, and what kind of look you are going for.

To make things easier, let us walk through the most common bed materials you will see.

Wooden Bed Frames

Wooden bed frames are a classic for a reason. They feel solid, look warm, and work with everything from simple, minimal rooms to cosy, layered spaces.

High quality timber, especially solid wood from reliable sources, holds weight well and stands up to daily use. It can show off clean lines or more detailed grain, so it is easy to find something that matches your style.

If you love the look of timber, our timber bed frames are built with FSC® certified wood, shock resistant slats, and simple, tool free assembly so you get sturdy support without extra fuss.

Here is a list of Ecosa’s wooden bed frames:

• Rise Bed Frame
• Zen Bed Base

Upholstered Bed Frames

Upholstered bed frames bring in that soft, sink-in comfort you feel when you lean back with a book or scroll before sleep. The fabric and padding add warmth, texture, and a more relaxed look to the room.

They are a great pick if you like neutral tones, cosy finishes, or want your bed to feel like a snug spot to hang out.

Fabric does need a bit of upkeep to stay clean and fresh. Dust, spills, and daily use can build up if you ignore them. A simple cleaning routine goes a long way.

For sleepers who like comfort and style in one piece, our upholstered frames pair cushioned support with FSC® certified timber and strong wooden slats. You get a soft place to land, quiet construction, and straightforward assembly.

Here is a list of Ecosa’s upholstered bed frames:

• Breeze Bed Base
• Breeze Storage Bed Base
• Sierra Bed Frame
• Sierra Storage Bed Frame
• Haven Bed Frame
• Alta Bed Frame
• Alta Storage Bed Frame
• Cove Bed Frame
• Drift Bed Frame
• Elio Bed Frame
• Nova Bed Frame
• Luna Bed Frame

Metal Bed Frames

Metal bed frames are often slim, simple, and easy on the budget. You will see them in shared houses, rentals, and smaller rooms where floor space matters.

They tend to look light and airy, which is handy if you do not want your bed to dominate the room. They usually combine a metal frame with wooden slats, so you still get flexible support under your mattress.

The flip side is that cheaper designs can squeak or bend over time, especially if the joints loosen or the metal is thin. 

Choose metal if you want something streamlined and often more budget friendly, with a focus on simple support. Just keep an eye on the fixings so everything stays stable and quiet.

Leather and Faux Leather Bed Frames

Leather and faux leather bed frames bring a smooth, polished look that can make a room feel more grown up and styled. They often work well in modern, hotel inspired bedrooms or spaces where you like strong lines and a clear focal point.

Real leather softens over time and can pick up character, while faux leather offers a similar look with different care needs and price points. Both can feel very comfortable to lean against.

The catch is that marks, scratches, and spills can show up quickly if you do not look after the surface.

Leather may not be part of our current range, but you can still get a similar soft, structured look with our upholstered bed frames.

How To Choose a Bed Frame That Suits You

With so many styles and materials out there, choosing a bed frame can feel tricky.

Follow these simple steps to find one that fits your room, your habits, and the look you want:

Step 1: Pick a Size That Fits Your Room

Size shapes how your room feels and how comfortably you can move around it. Here is a quick way to figure out what works:

• Single: Great for kids’ rooms, small spaces, or light sleepers.
• King Single: Extra room for growing teens or solo adults.
• Double: Good for solo sleepers who like more stretch-out space.
• Queen: Popular in most Aussie homes and suited to couples.
• King: Best for couples, co-sleepers, or anyone who loves plenty of space.
• Super King: Wide, roomy, and ideal for large bedrooms or families who pile in.

If you can walk around the bed without squeezing past the corners, you are on the right track.

Step 2: Choose a Style You Actually Like

Spoiler alert: We love wooden frames. But, again, it’s a personal choice and your bed frame will set the tone for the whole room. 

Here are a few common bed frame styles:

• Timber frames: Warm, timeless, and match almost anything.
• Upholstered frames: Soft, cosy, and great for reading in bed.
• Bouclé and fabric-forward frames: Trendy, textured, and perfect for modern spaces.
• Storage beds: Handy for small rooms where every bit of space counts.

Step 3: Look at Function & Everyday Use

Do you sit up in bed, read, or watch shows before sleeping? If so, a cushioned or upholstered headboard will feel much more comfortable than a hard surface.

Storage is another big one. Drawer beds and lift-up bases can help keep clutter out of sight, especially in smaller rooms.

Think about how you actually use your bed day to day. Some people need airflow under the mattress, others want space to tuck things away, and some simply want a frame that stays quiet when they move.

Step 4: Think About Assembly & Maintenance

Your bed frame should make your life easier, not harder. If you move homes often or dislike complicated instructions, choose something simple to put together.

Here is what to look for:

• Tool-free or minimal-tool assembly
• Clear instructions (a video guide is a plus!)
• Easy access underneath
• Slats and connectors

Step 5: Compare Price and Warranty

A bed frame is something you use every single day, so it is worth choosing one that lasts.

You do not need the priciest frame, but avoid the very cheapest options. These often wobble, bend, or squeak over time.

More importantly, consider the warranty. Longer coverage shows the maker stands behind the build quality, and it gives you peace of mind if anything goes wrong. Look for a warranty that lasts for years, not months.

All our Ecosa bed frames come with a 5 year warranty, so you know your frame is built for long term use.
