Space

Once you have decided to purchase a king-sized mattress, you must first determine the size of your room before deciding on the style of the bed frame. One should place a king bed in a space at least 12 feet by 12 feet in size. 

After placing your mattress and other items like the side table, floor lamps, and dressers, you must consider how much room is still available. Depending on the open area, you can choose a beautiful bed frame (which takes up space) or go with a straightforward frame without a headboard or footboard.

The frame

Some king-sized bed frames are three to five inches broader than the mattress to offer enough support. Many bed frames are more extensive or visually heavy than others. If you do not have much room, you can get a rail frame, a thin metal frame, or a simple floor joist frame for your queen mattress. Compared to other options, these frames are often closer to the mattress size.

Budget

King-sized bed frames are reasonably priced between Rs 5,000 and Rs 20,000. Depending on your budget, you can select from elegant upholstered bed frames with headboards, footboards, shelves, and drawers or basic metal bed frames.

Types of king-sized bed designs

You will find various bed frames when you shop. Consider your room’s size and décor while choosing the best choice.

Frame panels

Panel frames are standard and straightforward to locate. They are made up of a footboard, a headboard, and two side panels. Slats composed of wood or metal comprise the basis of a panel frame, which supports the mattress and, if necessary, a foundation.

Platform supports

Platform and panel frames are comparable. However, the foundation of a platform bed is made up of solid wood or slats. These frames do not require a separate foundation to support the mattress. You can put the mattress directly on the bed frame’s foundation.

Beds in sleigh

The woodwork on these frames is frequently decoratively curled or scrolled, and the foundation is slated to support the mattress. A sleigh bed is a captivating and dramatic focal point in the master bedroom.

Frames for four poster beds

Bed frames with four big pillars at each corner are known as four posters. These pillars on a king-sized four-poster bed will stand about 80 inches tall. These bed frames frequently have a beautiful headboard and footboard and are made of wood or metal.
