Bed Frames — Upholstered, Storage And Size-Specific

SoSoftBeds bed frames are organised under three sub-categories: upholstered bed frames, storage bed frames and king size bed frames. 18 products are currently assigned to this hub. Frame size must match your mattress — single 90cm × 190cm, small double 120cm × 190cm, double 135cm × 190cm, king 150cm × 200cm, super king 180cm × 200cm.

Check the finished frame footprint before ordering. Upholstery, side rails and headboard attachments extend beyond the mattress dimensions. Use the sub-categories to filter by style or storage type.

How to choose the right bed frame

Start with the mattress size, then check the finished frame footprint, headboard height, storage access and the route to the room. Upholstery, side rails, headboards and footboards can all add to the mattress dimensions.

The right choice depends on how the room is used. A guest room may need compact access and easy styling, a main bedroom may suit a larger upholstered frame, and a smaller room may benefit from storage built into the frame.

Bed frame styles to compare

Frame type Best for Check before buying
Upholstered bed frames Bedrooms where softness, colour and fabric texture are part of the design. Check fabric, colour, headboard shape and product care instructions.
Storage bed frames Rooms where extra drawers, wardrobes or storage boxes would take too much floor space. Check lift direction, drawer clearance, internal depth and storage weight guidance where specified.
King size bed frames Larger bedrooms and couples wanting more sleeping space than a double. Use a 150cm x 200cm mattress and allow space around the finished frame.
Divan and platform bases A simple base-led look with optional drawer storage where specified. Check drawer access, headboard compatibility and base height.
No-headboard frames Rooms with an existing headboard, wall panel or lower-profile layout. Confirm whether the product is designed to be used without a headboard.

Storage and fabric considerations

If storage is important, compare frame-only storage options with the broader storage-bed range. Ottoman-style storage can be helpful where one large hidden area is easier than separate drawers, while drawer storage can suit items you access regularly.

For upholstered frames, choose fabric and colour based on the product page, bedroom lighting and how the room is used. Follow the care guidance supplied with the exact fabric, and test any cleaner in a discreet place before wider use.

Feature Why it matters Measure or check
Finished frame footprint Frames can be wider or longer than the mattress. Width, length, headboard height and footboard depth.
Storage access Storage must open comfortably in the room. Side clearance, foot-end clearance and lift direction.
Mattress support The frame and mattress need to work together. Slat/base type, mattress size and mattress compatibility.
Upholstery care Different fabrics need different care. Product care label, cleaning guidance and sunlight exposure.

Bed frame buying guide

What is the difference between a bed frame and a bed base?

A bed frame is the visible structure around the mattress, often including side rails and a headboard. A bed base is more base-led, such as a divan or platform style. Always check the exact product because naming can vary.

Do I need a new mattress?

You can usually keep a mattress if it matches the frame size and is suitable for the support type. Check the product page for mattress compatibility, slat/base type and maximum mattress guidance where specified.

Should I choose a storage bed frame?

Choose storage if the room needs extra space for bedding, clothes or bedroom essentials. Measure side and foot-end clearance, then decide whether lift-up access or drawer-style access suits the layout better.

How do I care for an upholstered frame?

Vacuum gently with a soft brush attachment, keep the frame away from prolonged direct sunlight where practical, follow the fabric-care instructions and check fittings periodically.
