Customer Service: Bed Frame Information

Bed Frames for headboard only:  
The Sleep Shop stocks a vast selection of bed frames and bed rails.  The term "bed frame" refers to what is often called Hollywood bed frames, or box spring bed frames.  A bed frame fully supports your mattress and box spring without the need for a headboard or a footboard.  We offer standard model bed frames, as well as deluxe insta-lock bed frames.  While our standard model bed frame offers proper and adequate support, our deluxe insta-lock bed frames offer more steel support and easier set-up.  Our Simmons Bed Frame offers optimal support for your new Simmons mattress.  The Sleep Shop also stocks a bed frame that hooks onto your existing headboard.

Bed Frames to RAISE your bed:  
Many customers want to raise their beds for storage or to create an elegant look for their bedrooms. If you want your bed higher, order our bed frames with risers.  We offer our standard model bed frame with risers, as well as our deluxe model bed frame with risers. We highly recommend the deluxe bed frame with risers over the standard bed frame with risers, because it is easier to assemble and much sturdier.  

Bed Frames to lower your bed: 
You may find that your bed frame is too high.  Today's bedding is thicker than ever before.  The Sleep Shop offers a variety of low profile bed frames designed to lower your bed.  We offer low profile bed frames with casters, low profile bed frames with feet, and Simmons low profile bed frames for your Simmons mattress (or any mattress you'd like!) 

Bed Frames for attaching headboard and footboard: 
We offer bed frames for attaching a headboard only (above) and also bed frames for attaching a headboard and a footboard.  

Bed frame wheels and feet: 
If you have hardwood floors, we recommend ordering a bed frame with plastic feet or plastic glides, rather than wheels or casters.  If you select a bed frame with wheels or casters, you may want place a piece of rug gripper under each wheel to keep them from moving and possibly scratching your wooden floors.

Bed Rails:
The term "bed rails" refers to the side rails of your bed.  Unlike bed frames, bed rails require that you have both a headboard and a footboard.  Bed rails are used to attach your headboard to your footboard.  The Sleep Shop offers bed rails for twin size beds, full size beds, queen size beds, and king size beds.  

Converter Bed Rails:
One of our most popular items is our converter bed rail set.  Our converter bed rail set converts most full size beds so that you can use queen size bedding!  Many of our customers use converter bed rails to convert their full size antique beds into queen.

Low Profile Bed Rails:
If you have a headboard and a footboard and would like bed rails that will lower your bed a few inches, please see our low profile bed rails.  Our low profile bed rails attach to your headboard and footboard- these rails are 3 inches lower than standard rails.    

A good bed frame can help ensure that your mattress lasts a long time.  Your mattress is an investment.  Select a bed frame to support it.
