At Mattress Pensacola, we offer durable metal frames to perfectly support your new mattress and foundation. The metal frame is a vital, often understated, piece of the complete bed system. Designed for quick setup and superior stability, a metal frame simplifies the process of getting your bed ready, making the entire experience faster and easier.
Metal Frames are created to make our experience with the bed easier and faster.
What is a Metal Frame?
A metal frame is constructed primarily from metal, sometimes featuring wood components, and is designed to provide robust support for your box spring and mattress.
The standard setup involves:
-
Placing the metal frame on the floor.
-
Placing the box spring (or foundation) directly on top of the metal frame.
-
Placing your mattress on top of the box spring.
The necessity of a box spring depends entirely on the design of the metal frame you choose:
| Metal Frame Type | Box Spring Required? | Rationale |
| Standard Metal Frame | YES. | This frame is designed to support the box spring, which, in turn, supports the mattress. |
| Metal Frame with Slats | NO. | These newer designs include closely spaced slats (often metal or wood) that provide the necessary flat, solid support for the mattress, eliminating the need for a box spring. |
The Benefits of Choosing a Metal Frame
Modern metal frames are designed with the consumer in mind, offering several compelling advantages:
-
Quick and Easy Setup: Today's metal frames are set up in no time, often without complicated instructions or the need for many screws. You can have your bed ready and sleep on it right away.
-
Excellent Support: They provide a strong, stable foundation for your entire bed system, ensuring your mattress stays flat and supported.
-
Portability: They are typically lighter and less bulky than traditional furniture frames, making them easy to move and carry.
-
Affordability: Metal frames are often the most economical way to achieve a sturdy, functional foundation.
The size of the mattress needs to match with the size of the metal frame. Metal frames come in the same size as the box spring and mattress. If you decided to go with the queen size bed, then you must match the queen size bed frame with the queen size box spring and queen size metal frame.
Why you need a metal frame?
- Complete bed
- Good support
- Cheaper in price than a platform bed
The Metal Frames comes in different sizes:
- Twin metal frame
- Twin XL metal frame
- Full metal frame
- Queen metal frame
- King metal frame
Choosing Between Fixed-Size and Adjustable Metal Frames
When selecting a metal frame in Pensacola, you will encounter two main types: fixed-size and adjustable.
- Fixed-Size Metal Frames
There are metal frames that are not adjustable and come in only one size (e.g., Twin, Full, Queen, or King).
If you are certain you will not need to use the frame later for a different size mattress in another room, then buying a single-size metal frame is an excellent, sturdy, and often more economical option.
- Adjustable Metal Frames
These versatile metal frames are designed to expand or contract, often accommodating several sizes (e.g., fitting Twin/Full/Queen, or Full/Queen/King).
If you anticipate potentially changing your mattress size in the future or using the frame in a different room, an adjustable metal frame offers great flexibility and long-term value.
