Bed Frames

Where can I buy a bed frame?

Here at Bensons for Beds, we stock a wide variety of bed frames available to suit any budget, style, or taste.

Choose from a classic wooden bed frame, a modern metal bed frame or even a stylish, upholstered bed frame in our diverse collection of bed frames.

An ottoman bed frame could be an ideal choice if your bedroom could use some extra storage space. Ottoman bed frames are also especially handy for smaller bedrooms where floor space comes at a premium.

Upholstered beds add warmth and texture to your room. Explore our upholstered bed frame collection and explore cream and black bed frame designs for an always on-trend choice, or add a pop of colour with a yellow, blue or green bed frame.

What size bed frame should I buy?

Our bed frames are available in a number of different sizes, including single bed frames for children or guest rooms as well as small double, double, king size and super king bed frames, if you like a little more room in bed.

A small single bed frame could be an ideal choice for a box bedroom – whether it be a child’s bedroom or a guest bedroom. Small single bed frames are designed to accommodate a small single mattress. In the UK, small single mattresses measure just 75cm x 190cm (W x L).

Those looking for a little more sleep surface but still very much catering for smaller bedrooms might prefer a single bed frame. Single bed frames are designed to sleep an adult solo comfortably. Made to house a single mattress measuring in at 90cm x 190xm (W x L), single bed frames are a great option for solo sleeping adults, children, and teenagers alike.

A small double bed frame could appeal to those with a little more space to work with in their bedroom. Small double beds are designed to fit a small double mattress perfectly. With small double mattresses measuring in at 120cm x 190cm (W x L), small double bed frames are generally a great choice for solo sleeping adults or teens looking for a little more space and guest bedrooms.

Double beds are a popular choice amongst Bensons customers. A double bed frame and mattress works in every bedroom, whether it’s a master bedroom, a teenager’s bedroom, or a guest bedroom. Double mattresses measure 135cm x 190cm (W x L) and have been designed to sleep two adults comfortably.

Thinking you might prefer something roomier? How about a king size bed frame? A king size bed frame and mattress delivers 15cm of additional width and 10cm of additional length when compared to a double. King size mattresses measure 150cm x 200cm (W x L) and are designed to sleep two adults regularly sharing a bed a little more comfortably.

And for those who appreciate having the space to move about our Bensons super king bed frames are the biggest bed frames of all. A super king bed frame has been designed to accommodate a super king mattress (measuring 180cm x 200cm – W x L). That makes a super king bed slightly larger than twin single bed frames as super king mattresses offer an additional 10cm in length when compared to single mattresses.

When it comes to deciding which size bed frame is the right choice for your space, it’ll ultimately come down to how many people will be regularly sharing the bed, and how much space you have in your bedroom to accommodate your new bed frame. If you’d like some inside tips on how to accurately measure your space, our handy home measuring guide can help.

How should I dispose of my old bed frame?

If your old bed is still in a usable condition, you can choose to donate it to charity.

Bensons for Beds partners with the British Heart Foundation and the charity provides a free furniture pick up service for customers who have bought a new bed.

If your unwanted bed frame is fit for re-sale, The British Heart Foundation can collect it and re-sell it in one of their shops. This helps to raise funds for the charity to continue its work in cardiovascular research.

If your bed frame is not suitable for resale, we now offer a Bensons for Beds bed frame recycling service. Add this to your basket during the checkout process and we’ll take your old bed frame away when we bring your new one.

Another option is asking your local council to collect your old bedframe. There is usually a fee for this service. Alternatively, you could also take your old bed frame to your local tip and dispose of it there yourself.

How big is a queen size bed frame?

In the UK, the standard size of a queen size bed frame is exactly the same as a small double bed frame. Queen size bed frames have been designed to house queen size mattresses (or small double mattresses, if you prefer) which measure in at 120cm x 190cm (W x L).

A queen size bed frame in the UK is also known as a small double bed frame. A small double bed is wider than a single bed but not as wide as a double.

A small double bed is an ideal size for smaller bedrooms, teenagers, or guest bedrooms.

The exact dimensions of the bed frame will vary by product so be sure to check these on your chosen bed frame page.

Also, be sure to measure the space you have available in your bedroom to check that a small double bed will fit.

How long is a king size bed frame?

A king size bed frame is 200cm (6 feet 6 inches) long.

This is 10cm (or three inches) longer than a double bed which makes a king size bed frame ideal for taller people as well as those who prefer more space in bed.

A king size bed frame is 150cm (5ft) wide. This is actually 15cm wider than a double bed making it ideal for those sharing a bed with a partner as you will both have plenty of room.

Be sure to measure the space you have available before choosing your bed frame and do not forget to allow for room for you to ideally walk round either side of the bed.

What makes a good bed frame?

A good quality bed frame will have been manufactured by experienced sleep specialists, using high quality materials and keeping sustainability in mind. Everything else that makes a good quality bed frame is down to your personal preference!

Some people prefer an ottoman bed frame with storage underneath whereas others may prefer a wooden bed frame. There are also your own personal sleep needs to bear in mind, for example whether you’d like a high bed which can be easier to get into, or even to be able to relax in a bed with a built in tv. A TV bed frame is great for couples that love to binge watch series in the evenings or on lazy Sunday mornings.
