Our mattresses are designed to be versatile, and can work with your existing setup. If you're used to a traditional box spring, however, we recommend our foundation instead — for the flat, even support foam requires.
It all comes down to personal preference! If you prefer a more modern look, we have bed frame options that do not require a foundation or box spring. These modern upholstered beds can dramatically enhance your wall decor and overall room aesthetic.
For a more traditional bed setup, the Casper foundation pairs with our metal bed frame for extra height and seamless support. Our foundation can also be used with any standard-size bed frame that requires a box spring or foundation to support the mattress.
Casper bed frames are made from high quality materials like our solid wood beds or metal frames and can complement any bedroom furniture setup.
What is the best bed frame to buy?
With so many different types of bed frames, that really depends on you! If you don’t know which type of bed frame to choose for your bedroom, our Casper Sleep
Experts have the best buying advice. There are several important considerations to think about across all bed frames:
- Sturdy slat system or platform to avoid creaking and instability, especially important if considering a bunk bed
- The right support type for your mattress and any accessories like a mattress pad or mattress protector you may use
- An appropriate height for you and the bed base you're considering
- Quality materials for legs and frame depending on your bed frame choice, whether it be a wooden bed frame or metal bed frame
- Style, including color, material, and design
