Standing bed frames

A standing bed frame is the most common bed on the market, coming in a range of styles and materials. From a modern leather square bed to a traditional wooden sleigh bed, a standing frame bed is simple and cost-effective. Standing frame beds often come with space underneath for slide-out drawers, meaning floor space isn’t wasted. The look of a standing bed is only limited by your imagination.

Ottoman

Smaller bedrooms can be meticulous for storage, but the Ottoman bed frame caters for this exact issue. The Ottoman features large under bed compartments, providing sufficient space for practical storage, without diminishing the modern style of your bedroom. The Ottoman is brilliant for homes with very limited storage, making small bedrooms efficient and modern. They offer a range of sizes, from single through to super king, so that you can tailor the Ottoman to your specific requirements.

High Sleeper Beds

If you need a space-saving bed for your children’s bedroom, a high sleeping bed could be the one for you. These high sleeper beds feature a top bunk sleeping area, providing enough space for furniture underneath. This furniture, which can be placed underneath the high sleeper bed, could be storage drawers, a desk, or a mini sofa – making it versatile to ensure we meet your desires and requirements.  To meet your full requirements, the guest beds come in a range of sizes, from small single to small double, adapted to fit in any size bedroom.

Types of bed bases

Solid slats

A solid slatted bed frame is made up of timber bars spaced across the base of the bed. The slats are fixed in place and have no give, which provides a firm base to place a mattress on. The space between the slats allows for airflow to the mattress which helps create a cool sleeping environment.

 

Sprung slats

Sprung slats are more flexible than solid slats. They are slightly curved and so act as a spring when compressed. This acts as a simple shock absorber supporting you while you move around in your sleep.

 

Divan base

A divan base often comes in either platform or spring style, however, both are sturdy flat surfaces on which you can place the mattress on. Spring bases offer built in springs for additional cushioning and a softer base when you sleep.
