Are you planning on redecorating your bedroom this year? Is a new bed set in your future? Well if so, some of these tips will be very helpful to you! First things first, you have to decide whether you will be upgrading your bed frame, your headboard, your complete bedroom set or all of the above!

If you are planning on buying a new Complete Bed Set such as our 7400 Dark Espresso Complete Bed from Crown Mark, that comes with headboard, footboard and rails then you won’t be needing a bed frame as all of our “complete” beds include rails and slats in place of a bed frame! If you are more interested in a 3PC Bedroom Set such as our 0375 Malaga Chocolate 3PC Bedroom Set from Dynamic Furniture Corporation, which includes: Headboard, Dresser and Mirror then you will be needing a new bed frame for sure! Many headboards attach directly to your metal bed frame. You can also use a metal bed frame on its own; without a headboard if you so choose. Metal Vs Wood Bedframe In any of the above cases, you will also have to decide if it is a wooden bed frame or a metal bed frame you are going to want to purchase. Here are some points to help you decide which will suit your needs the best. Metal Bedframe - Metal is less susceptible to water damage, bug damage or fire damage. - Metal is more affordable. - Metal bed frames are often lighter than a wooden frame. - To improve mobility, wheels are often included on a metal frame. - Metal bed frames are often adjustable which is great if you are planning on upgrading your mattress size at any time. - Some metal bed frames include a center support which helps support the mattress, provides additional support to your back and is mandatory if you have a split foundation. - Metal bed frames can be noisy and begin to squeak and creak over time. Wood Bedframe - Wood bed frames can be very expensive. - Wood frames can be a lot heavier than a metal frame and may require more time to set up. - Wood frames have more design elements and comes in a variety of colours and materials. - Wood frames can be customized and you can have them sit higher than a regular metal frame or even provide storage under the bed. - Wood frames often include slats that run across the width of the bed to provide additional support. - Many wooden frames do not come with a headboard or are not setup to attach a headboard to. There are pros and cons to each type of bed frame and depending on your needs will decide which type will suit your family and bedroom style the best! Bed frames provide total stability for the rest of the bed so be sure to consider purchasing a new bed frame (either metal or wood) when you are upgrading your bedroom style!
