A bed frame is the structural support that holds the mattress in place and elevates it from the floor. It typically consists of a headboard, footboard, side rails, and a slat or platform base. Bed frames are made from a variety of materials, including solid wood, plywood, metal, and upholstered fabrics. The design and construction of a bed frame affect stability, weight capacity, assembly, and the overall aesthetic of the bedroom. Key Characteristics
