Mates, I hate to break it to you, but if you’re still sleeping on some kind of crate set-up you spied on a Pinterest board back in 2015, it’s time to grow up. Investing in a real bed frame (and a good quality mattress) that’ll support your back and body is the easiest way not to be reminded of your age every morning.
Picking out a good bed frame can be an arduous task, but we’re here to make it less so. In our opinion, a good bed frame should tick a few boxes to ensure your hard-earned cash is well spent. It needs to be durable, supportive (squeak-free, for obvious reasons), and affordable, especially with the rise of cozzie livs.
It also needs to be functional in your space, e.g. the right size and fit. And, if you’re a renter, we highly recommend one with storage options or space underneath that can double as storage if need be.
With all that in mind, we’ve gone ahead and rounded up some of the best bed frames you can buy online in Australia, and have delivered right to your door.
The Best Bed Frames You Can Buy in Australia
The Best Timber Bedframes
Emma Rosewood Bed
If you’re looking for a one-way ticket to bone-town traditional wooden bed, Emma Sleep’s new Rosewood Bed Frame is beautifully crafted with eco-responsible, FSC-certified rosewood. Design-wise, it’s simple but spiffy and can be completely assembled with one tool. How good?!
Koala Kirribilli Bed Base
Of course, it wouldn’t be a bed roundup without mentioning our mates over at Koala. Made from natural timber with an ask grain finish, the Koala bed base is apparently strong enough to hold 10 people jumping on it (or two people aggressively going at it, we reckon). You can choose from five different sizes — single, king single, double, queen and king. The Koala bed bases start at $1,190 and cap out at $1,690.
Lifely Lana Bed Frame
If you’ve yet to be introduced to the small homewares business that is Lifely, allow us. Lifely makes a whole bunch of cute furniture, homewares and bedding, like the Lana Bed. Which leans into the rattan trend you’ve seen all over TikTok.
The Eva Timber Bed Frame
We like to think of this bed frame as the one you get when you graduate from those timber crate beds everyone was obsessed with years ago. It comes with a little spot for all your devices and cables to ensure your cords stay tangle-free and out of sight and comes in all sizes — single, king single, double, queen and king. The Eva Timber Bed Frame starts around the $1,145 mark.
Ecosa Rise Bedframe
If you’re looking for something a little more ~durable~, why not give the Ecosa Rise Bed Frame a whirl? Made from American ash timber and sourced from certified sustainable forests, the Rise Bed Frame promises squeak-free comfort and support. It’s also super easy to assemble and comes with shock-resistant wooden slats (LOL shock-resistant).
The Best Metal Bed Frames
Emma Metal Bed
If you’d prefer something a little more minimalist, why not check out Emma Sleep’s Metal Bed? It’s a very simple, slim design, so if you’re trying to save space in your tiny rental, it’s an excellent choice. Sadly, right now, it’s only available to those in NSW, VIC and QLD, but, hopefully, it’ll be more widely available soon.
Matt Blatt Ovela Florence Metal Bed Frame
It’s giving our primary school bedroom but in a surprisingly good way. Designed with a strong metal framework, reinforced centre beam and durable wood slats spaced, this bed frame is supportive, minimal and will last you years to come.
The Best Upholstered Bed Frames
Emma Sleep’s Emma Signature Bed
If a timber bed frame doesn’t suit your style, why not check out Emma Sleep’s Signature Bed? According to the brand, the bed comes with patented technology for ultimate support, FlexiSlats for tailored pressure relief, and a special AirFlow bed base for maximum breathability. Sounds pretty good, huh?! Plus the good folks at Emma offer a 100-night trial – so, ugh, plenty of time for you to test it out (if ya catching our drift).
Koala Brunswick Bed Base
Koala has just dropped this little baby, so we thought we better add it to our list. It’s on pre-sale right now and is one of the brand’s more affordable options. Aside from the snazzy upholstery bed head, it also features bespoke bumper rails which means no more slipping, sliding, or squeaking from you’re, ahh, tossing and turning…
Lifely Zach Bed Frame
Another pick from Lifely that we like is the Zach bed frame. It’s a fancy French-inspired boucle bed frame that comes in three sizes — double, queen and king. It’s cosy, cute and affordable.
Ecosa Sierra Cushioned Bed Frame
Ooft, this bed looks like you’d just melt right into it. It’s the cushioned bed frame from Ecosa, and it comes in eight different colours. Plus, the cushion covers are washable, meaning that this bed frame is as practical as it is comfy.
Now that that’s the best bed frames in Australia sorted, mates. Let’s find you some fresh bedsheets, Lord knows you probably need ’em.
