Bed Frames
There are as wide as variety of bed frames as there are a wide variety of beds in the world. The bed frame provides support for the sides and bottom of a bed so that you can get stability and so that mattress does not move around while you sleep. In most kinds of beds, there is a mattress that is placed on top of a box spring, and both of these parts may be placed on top / inside of some sort of bed frames that prevent them from sliding apart with the motion of people getting onto and off of the bed and jostling it during the night. Wood bed frames, plastic bed frames and metal bed frames are all used for this basic purpose and exist in all of the most common sizes for beds.
Other varieties besides the basic bed frames for containing a mattress and box spring exist, however. The trundle bed frame is designed to be able to accommodate two beds in one; one of the beds slides underneath the other - this requires some rails to be built into the frame for the bed underneath to slide on, and the trundle bed frame also has to have some kind of support close underneath the mattress in order to keep it separate from the bed that is placed below. Special bed frame hardware may also be there to make it possible for the trundle bed to be raised when it comes out from under the other bed. This makes a trundle bed frame very different from a full size bed frame.
An air bed frame is much the same as a typical bed frame except it does not have to be designed in order to accommodate a box spring. There may be some kind of mesh of springs used underneath the air bed frame mattress as the lower support as a way to replace the springiness of the box spring in an air mattress bed frame, or the lower support for the mattress may be solid. A bed frame for an air mattress may also employ bed frame risers to make it easy for the bed to be raised and lowered. Finally, there are other types of bed frames such as captain's bed frames, sleigh bed frames, and platform bed frames - a platform bed frame, also known as a loft bed frame, is one of the cheap bed frames that you can use to save space while providing firm support for a mattress. All of these bed frames provide different kinds of support for different kinds of situations.
