Beds are used for sleeping by the entire world population. The only difference is that the rich sleep in the most luxurious beds, while the poor on sleep on beds made out on the floor with perhaps a sheet or a thin matt. For all those who do not sleep on the floor the foundation of the bed lies in the bed frame, generally a rectangular shaped base assembled either by metal or wooden strips or out of a solid base of wood. Beds become firm and strong based on the bed frame and how tough a material has been used. If the frame is simply a set of four hollow metal rods, it will not be very strong and would move with each movement of the occupant. On the other hand a solid bed frame would stand rock solid on the floor. Such a bed would also last longer offering firm support to the mattress as well.
The variety of bed frames available is phenomenal and the eventual choice is linked to the price and the customer's affordability. The most popular and highly saleable bed frames include the ones made out of wood. These frames could be simple planks stuck together or a complete solid base that covers the floor. The latter are firm and solid and can even be used for storage if designed as what is called 'box beds'. The storage option helps to remove clutter from rooms as it can be packed away neatly. The concept works beautifully in places where high-rise apartment buildings are common, as in Singapore.
Other options of bed frames are innovations of the basic concept that are designed to be folded away, some are detachable that ease moving them from one place to another. The most convenient bed frame is the futon sofa bed frame that is ideal for small apartments. It can be used for seating during the day, which would take less space, and be spread out into a bed at night. The modern bunk beds loved by children have a complex bed frame just like loft beds.
Bed frames are the most crucial part of the bed. They provide the grooves for the mattress to fit but a weak bed frame will neither last nor allow the kind of comfort needed for sleeping after a long, tiring day. While the younger generation may choose to change beds and furniture frequently,
