When it comes to your bedroom, you want to create a space that screams good vibes. A place that you can go home to after a very long, hard day and just kick back and do whatever it is that makes you feel good — binge Netflix, scroll TikTok, sleep. And the key to all of that (in our opinion) is the perfect bed set-up. You need a buttery set of bed sheets, the perfect pillow, a good quality mattress and, of course, the best bed frame. You know, one that’s not only aesthetically pleasing but durable.

If you’re in the market for a new bed frame, you’ve come to the right place because we’ve gone ahead and rounded up some of the best ones you can buy online in Australia, and have them delivered right to your door. But before we get ahead of ourselves, there are a few things you need to consider when you hunt through our top picks.

What to Look For in a Good Bed Frame

What size bed frame will suit your needs?

When deciding to look for a new bed frame, it might be time to re-evaluate your needs — are you moving house and have the space to upgrade to a king? Or maybe you need to drop back to a double. Are you filling a guest bedroom where you think a queen would make more sense, or perhaps two singles? Determining your needs and measuring your space is a good place to start when you’re shopping for a new bed frame.

What material would you like your bed frame to be made of?

Whatever it’s made of, your bed frame needs to be durable and supportive. Typically, there are three materials that bed frames are usually made from: timber, metal and upholstery. Look at your space, style and budget to determine which material is going to best suit your needs.

How functional is the bed frame in your space?

It also needs to be functional for the space, e.g. the right size and fit. Once you know where you’re putting your new bed frame, be it in your room, a family member’s room or a guest room, you need to determine what kind of functionality you need from the bedframe, aside from something to sleep on. Do you need it to have space underneath for storage? If so, would you prefer it to be built in to match the frame, or would you prefer it to hide what’s under the bed?

Each of your answers will change the way you shop. So with that in mind, here are some of the best bed frames in Australia according to experts and reviews.
