Metal Bed Frame

Don’t know which is the right bed frame for you? At Casper, we have a variety of bedroom furniture to complement your lifestyle. There are almost unlimited options when it comes to bed frames, but here are four standard types, one of which is sure to suit your bedroom:

- Foundation + Metal Bed Frame – A durable, modern bed frame design with a simple look.
- Upholstered Bed Frame – Silent, sturdy support with a cozy, fabric-wrapped appearance.
- Adjustable Bed Frame – A remote-controlled bed frame that can transform into several different pressure-relieving positions.
- Platform Bed Frame – A thick, sturdy bed base typically low to the ground.

The best bed frame materials are durable, such as solid, properly-joined wood and metal or steel. However, there’s also an aesthetic component to selecting a material, based on the style of your bedroom decor:

Not quite. Both bed foundations and box springs provide a base support layer for any mattress type. However, box springs add a little extra give and increase breathability, while foundations are for overall support.

A box spring is any wood or metal bed frame containing coiled springs covered by cloth. This once-popular design is now mostly found on older beds.

A foundation is any non-spring bed base, from metal or wooden slats to solid platforms. Slat models, often referred to as slatted foundations, provide more air circulation and flexibility, while solid bases give the firmest support.

Both slats and solid foundations are an ideal box spring alternative for better mattress protection.
