Differences between a Bed Frame and a Storage Bed
The first thing you need to know to choose between a bed frame and a storage bed is what characterizes each of these mattress foundations.
Let's start with storage beds. These supports are designed to offer great stability and firmness, extending the mattress's lifespan. They are metal structures with walls that are often made of wood, featuring a rigid or spring-loaded padded surface. Most of the time, they are foldable, meaning their top lifts to reveal a storage drawer.
On the other hand, bed frames are structures consisting of a piece called a frame, which can be made of wood or metal, with several slats, generally made of wood, attached to it. The structure is supported by four legs, which can be fixed or fitted, and it may be upholstered.
Now that you know what a bed frame and a storage bed are, let's see how they differ:
- Storage beds are perfect for any type of mattress, while there are certain bed frames, the adjustable ones, that are only suitable for memory foam mattresses.
- The surface of storage beds can be rigid or slatted, while all bed frames have slats.
- While bed frames can be fixed or adjustable, storage beds can be fixed or foldable.
- If they are foldable, storage beds come with storage space, which bed frames do not have.
- Slatted bed frames help the mattress breathe better, while storage beds do not.
- We can find bed frames at a more economical price than most storage beds.
Tips for Pairing Your Bed Frame and Memory Foam Mattress
Most bed frames and bases available in the market are suitable for any memory foam mattress. The only exception would be those structures with an inset, especially if their core is latex, as it can hinder the ventilation needed by these mattresses, which occurs through their sides.
Slatted bed frames are flexible and usually come with firmness adjusters that allow us to customize our rest to the maximum; that's why they can be a great option.
On the other hand, upholstered bases provide firm and stable support for the mattress, allowing you to take full advantage of its elasticity and adaptability. The same applies to padded storage beds.
One important point to consider is pairing your memory foam mattress with an adjustable bed frame, as long as its core is not spring-based. These bed frames come with a motor that allows you to adjust the curve and height as you wish, making them the perfect choice for people with limited mobility or those who need to spend a lot of time in bed.
