Bed frames are made out of many materials, including wood, metal, and even leather or upholstery. Sometimes they are even made from a combination of materials! In fact, a velvet, leather, or upholstered bed frame is always made up of a combination of materials, since the fabric requires wood or metal to provide structure. When choosing a frame for your bed, you need to compare the materials used to manufacture it. This lets you know if the aesthetics of the bed frame are worth the work you need to do for its upkeep. You want to consider factors such as durability of the material, maintenance requirements, weight of the frame, allergies, and how often you will need to clean the material! If you have pets, think about if the material will attract pet hair or be a danger to your pets.

Bed frames with velvet, leather, or upholstery offer softness and comfort. However, these materials attract pet hair easily! A wooden bed frame offers a classic aesthetic that feels inviting and cozy. Unfortunately, it may be easily damaged if a pet with claws or a child with toys gets on the bed! Metal bed frames offer the most flexibility in finding something that suits your home decor, though it may have more sharp edges that are dangerous to pets, small kids, or an older person moving around in the dark during the night.
