What types of bed frames are there?

The main types are platform, slatted, panel, storage, and metal. A platform frame has a solid or slatted deck and needs no box spring. A slatted frame uses wooden boards across the rails for support and airflow. Panel beds offer a headboard and footboard and often expect a foundation. Storage frames add drawers or lift-up space underneath. Metal frames are light, affordable, and easy to move. Pick the one that matches your mattress and storage needs.
