Your bed frame size must match your mattress size exactly. If you have a queen mattress (153cm × 203cm), you need a queen bed frame. Using a mismatched size means your mattress won't sit properly and could lack support at the edges. Check your mattress label—it'll state the size clearly.

Most bed frames sold in Australia include slats as part of the package, but not all. Check the product description under "What's Included" or similar. Slats are the wooden or metal supports that sit across the frame to hold up your mattress. Without them, your mattress will sag into the frame.

Neither is objectively better—it depends what matters to you. Wooden frames are heavier, feel sturdier, and suit traditional or warm aesthetics. Metal frames are lighter, often cheaper, and easier to move. Both will support your mattress fine if built properly. Wood tends to last longer but costs more upfront.

A platform bed has a built-in solid or slatted base that supports the mattress directly—you don't need a box spring or separate base. A regular bed frame usually has a perimeter frame with slats or requires a base to sit on top. Platform beds sit lower and have a more modern look.

You can use a mattress on the floor, but it's not ideal. Bed frames allow air to circulate under the mattress, which prevents moisture buildup and mould (especially in humid climates). They also extend mattress life, give you storage space, and make getting in and out of bed easier. A frame is worth the small investment.

Storage beds come in two types: drawer beds (with pull-out drawers on the side or foot) and gas lift beds (where the mattress base lifts up to reveal storage underneath). Both are clearly labelled in product titles. Standard bed frames have open space underneath but no built-in storage system.

Most standard bed frames support 150–250kg depending on size and construction. Queen and king frames generally have higher weight limits than single or double. Check the product specs for exact figures. If weight is a concern, look for reinforced centre support beams or solid timber construction.

Budget frames (under $300) can last 5–8 years if you treat them reasonably. They use thinner materials and simpler construction, so they won't feel as solid as premium options. If you need something temporary or you're furnishing a rental, they're sensible. If you want a frame to last 10+ years, spending $400–700 gets better longevity.
