Bed Frames By Material

Compare wooden, upholstered, metal and velvet bed frames.

Bed Frame Materials Explained

Bed frame material describes what the visible structure is made from, and it sets the look, the weight and how the frame is cleaned. A wooden frame leaves timber or panel construction exposed. A metal frame uses a welded or bolted tube structure, usually the lightest option. Upholstered frames are padded and wrapped in fabric, with linen, boucle and teddy weaves in the range; velvet is a separate upholstered finish with a directional pile, and PU is a wipeable synthetic leather. Material is independent of size and of storage type, so the same finish generally appears across the New Zealand standard sizes from Single to Super King.
