Choosing the right bed frame size
There are a few factors to consider when it comes to selecting the perfect size of bed frame for your needs. If you'd like more details, check out our buyer’s guide to choosing the best wooden bed frame blog.
Sleeping habits
Consider your sleeping habits when deciding on bed size. Comfortable sleep often comes down to width: making sure there's enough room to relax and move freely. Sizing up, to frames such as the King or King Size, becomes even more essential if you're a parent and often find a little one joining you!
Bedroom size and features
One of the main constraints when choosing your bed frame size is the layout, size and features of your bedroom. The bed needs to fit comfortably to allow you to move around freely and easily. As a general rule, allow at least 30 inches of clearance around the bed frame to ensure a comfortable, practical layout.
You should also consider if it might block doors or other furniture and where it will sit in relation to plug sockets, windows, and radiators.
Height and design
Often overlooked, think about height when choosing a bed, as well as length and width. If your room has lower ceilings, a low-level design like our Stepney Bed Frame is a great choice. For rooms with higher ceilings, opting for a frame with a taller headboard such as the Coleridge Tall Headboard Bed Frame helps create a more balanced look.
At Funky Chunky Furniture, our beautifully crafted solid wood beds are available in a range of sizes designed to ensure you enjoy a perfect night's sleep, every night. Each bed frame is backed by our 25-year guarantee, reflecting our unmatched quality and expert craftsmanship.
