35 Different Types Of Beds & Frames
Bed frame

A bed frame or bedstead is a type of furniture, the part of a bed used to position the mattress and base and may include means of supporting a canopy above. Bed frames are typically made of wood or metal or a composite or a combination of all elements. A bed frame is made up of head, foot, side rails, and a canopy. All or any of the preceding elements may or may not be present. Most double (full) sized beds, along with all queen and king size beds require some type of center support rail, typically also with extra feet extending down to the floor.

Bed Frame Vs. Boxspring.

This is a bed frame.

And this is a boxspring.

Size
The smallest bed is a crib, designed for small children under the age of about 3, as it is only 27 inches wide and 52 inches long. The next size up is a twin bed, which is 39 by 75 inches (or 80 inches with an extra long twin) and sleeps one person. A full or double bed is a tight fit for two people, at 54 by 75 inches. The most popular size for two people is queen, which is 60 by 80 inches, and then king, which is 76 by 80 inches.

Mattress

The main part of a bed is the mattress, which is the sleeping surface. Historically, most mattresses have been innerspring mattresses, which consist of a layer of steel coils that will evenly support the whole body. In recent years, foam mattresses have been developed as well. These memory foam or latex mattresses are made completely of breathable foam that fits to the shape of your body. It is also common for innerspring mattresses to have a pillow top layer with a comfort material or a layer of foam.

Foundation

Under the mattress, it is recommended to have a foundation of some kind. When ______ a new mattress, it will likely come with a foundation that is especially designed to support the mattress. The foundation can range anywhere from traditional box springs to a steel or plastic support system.

Frame

A bed frame is not essential, but it is a metal frame consisting of head, foot and side rails that the foundation will rest on, plus feet to raise it a few inches off the ground. You will want a bed skirt to hide the frame and the box springs. Some people choose to purchase a furniture set with a headboard, footboard, and sideboards, typically in wood, that will attach to the frame and tie it into the rest of the room.

Bedding

In addition to the bed itself, the last important part of a bed is the bedding and mattress comfort and protection that people commonly add to their bare bed. On top of the mattress, you can include a layer of foam (either the traditional egg crate foam or memory foam). Then there is a mattress cover, which protects the mattress from stains and dirt. Sheets are next, with most people using both a fitted sheet and a flat sheet. Lastly, there are of course blankets and pillows to complete the bed.
