Wooden Bed Frames That Work With Your Space
Choosing the right wooden bed frame does more than set the tone. It helps balance style with comfort, adds structure to your room and supports better sleep. From natural timber finishes to fabric accents, wood bed frames suit both classic and modern spaces.
Lifely offers a wide mix of options, including solid wood, engineered timber and upholstered styles. Whether you lean toward warm, rustic textures or clean, minimalist lines, there’s something built to match.
If you're after soft edges and cushioned finishes, the Cloud Bed Frames collection is a great place to start.
Types of Wooden Bed Frames
Solid wood
Frames made from oak, pine or walnut offer strength, warmth and a natural feel. No two are exactly alike. The wood grain, the knots and slight colour changes make each piece unique. These work well with farmhouse, coastal and classic interiors.
Engineered wood
Frames made from MDF or plywood are strong and stable. They offer a more cost-friendly alternative while still keeping a clean finish. These suit renters, first homes or anyone styling on a budget. They also hold up well to daily use.
Upholstered wood
Some wood frames include fabric details like linen, velvet or faux leather. These soften the edges and make a space feel more relaxed. This type pairs well with neutral bedding and layered textures.
Frames with storage
Drawers and lift-up bases help maximise space. Great for rooms with limited wardrobe space or to keep things tidy. Underbed storage lets you make use of every centimetre without crowding the room.
Choosing a Wooden Bed Frame That Fits
Get the size right
Wooden bed frames come in single, king single, double, queen and king. Make sure to check your room size first. You’ll want space on all sides to move around and add bedside tables or extra storage.
Look at build and material
Oak is heavy and lasts a long time. Pine is softer and shows knots, giving it a more relaxed look. MDF is smooth and steady, perfect for painted or modern finishes. Whatever you choose, look for strong slats and a supportive base.
Match the mood of your room
Rustic styles go well with textured throws and soft lighting. Darker timbers suit industrial looks. Pale frames and low profiles help keep things light and simple. Choose something that feels right with your existing furniture.
Features You Can Expect
More storage where you need it
Built-in drawers or lift-up bases are handy in smaller rooms or shared spaces. Use them for bedding, off-season clothes or even shoes.
Thoughtful materials
Some frames use FSC-certified timber or recycled parts. That means fewer emissions and better long-term impact. Lifely aims to make smart choices across sourcing and shipping, keeping things practical from start to finish.
Helpful add-ons
Some beds include extras like USB ports or built-in lights. These features are great for keeping things tidy and close at hand, especially in shared rooms or tight corners.
Easy Upkeep for Wooden Frames
Wipe your frame regularly with a soft cloth. Avoid leaving it in direct sun for long periods, as this can cause fading or cracks. A light polish every now and then helps keep the finish fresh. For squeaks, check the fittings and retighten as needed.
If any damage shows up, it’s best to address it early. Small scratches can often be covered with wax filler or polish. For larger repairs, professional touch-ups might be worth it.
