Two things can be true: You need a bed frame that’ll fit your bedroom design, and you need it to ship in speedy fashion. The best bed frames on Amazon check both boxes and are sturdy, stylish, and affordable, too. We scoured the site to find the picks that suit all kinds of styles, sleepers, and price points.
You’ll find everything from upholstered and tufted options to minimalist wood platforms and strong canopy foundations. Even better: Many of the best bed frames on Amazon have storage compartments to help you stay organized and don’t require box springs. Stock is constantly changing, so if you see one you like, add it to your cart ASAP. If you snooze, you lose (pun intended).

Known for their ultra-comfortable mattresses (it’s our pick for the plushest mattress-in-a-box), Nectar also crafts durable bed frames. This option is made from solid bamboo wood and requires no tools to assemble. Available in two stains and three upholstery options (if you opt for a covered headboard), this bed frame boasts over 100 five-star ratings. Reviews say this bed frame doesn’t creak, is quick to build (easily done by one person, but the headboard may require an extra set of hands), and feels high-quality. Plus, with a two-year warranty, you can rest easy knowing any issues are covered for at least the duration of a standard rental agreement.
Best Wood Bed Frame
Upsides
Rustic design, wood slats add solid foundation for a mattress, affordable
Downsides
Some customers mention screw looseness in reviews
Specs

- Weight limit: 700 lb.
If you’re on the hunt for a high-quality bed frame that’s designed to stand the test of time, turn to the Zinus Wen Wood Platform Bed Frame. While it doesn’t come with extras like charging ports you can find in some modern models, it has a wood frame and solid steel interior to give it lasting durability. The wood slats also offer stability and a strong foundation for a mattress—no box spring required. As a finishing touch, it’s defined by a rustic, cherry-finish design that’s ideal for farmhouse-style spaces.
AD contributor Will Porter has this frame in his home and raves about its quality. “When my partner and I were looking to buy a frame, we really just wanted something that looked nice, was affordable, and wouldn’t fall apart quickly,” he says. “It looks great; the cherry finish is versatile and doesn’t look cheap. We actually thought it looked quite a bit like the Thuma bed, which we may get someday, but wasn’t in the budget when we were shopping over a year ago. So, looks-wise, this was a big win, especially at just $170.”
Best Storage Bed Frame
Upsides
Spacious underbed storage, minimalist design
Downsides
The gas-lift can be hard to lift if you have a heavy mattress
Specs
- Material: Fabric upholstery, metal frame
- Sizes available: Full, Queen, King
- Finishes available: 6
- Weight limit: 800 lb.
For those who are low on storage space or just want to keep their bedroom as tidy as possible, this AD-approved storage bed deserves a place in your shopping cart. Porter is a fan, from the seamless delivery and assembly to the bed frame’s easy-to-use gas lift system. “I’ve been wanting to try out a bed with an integrated headboard for a while. I saw this one and, for the price, I knew it was well worth giving a go,” he says. “Plus, the massive amount of underbed storage was going to be clutch, and since you have to lift the mattress to get into the storage, I thought it’d keep my cat from digging around down there.”
While Porter notes that he has a heavy mattress, the attached nylon handle—along with the aforementioned gas lift system—helps him hoist it up and rummage below with ease. What’s more, it’s a great pick for a minimalist bedroom. He styles his space with the modern beige version of this storage bed, a rug, and an end table on each side of the mattress. There are 14 options total when it comes to customizing this frame: seven colorways and two upholstery styles. “It looks great as a standalone piece but could also accommodate a bench or low couch at the foot of the bed,” he notes. “I think the best part of the frame is that it takes up a good amount of space without being excessive, allowing for a good variety of bedroom setup options.”
Best Canopy Bed Frame
Upsides
Easy assembly, durable steel construction
Downsides
Aesthetically underwhelming
Specs
- Material: Solid steel
- Sizes available: Full, queen

It’s no surprise that Zinus, maker of our favorite overall bed frame on Amazon, also offers a stellar steel canopy style. This bed frame is ideal for those looking to create a dramatic, regal bedroom. With a 14-inch platform, the Patricia bed frame does not require a box spring and still offers plenty of room for under-the-bed storage. Reviews tout the frame’s durability and easy construction, though sizing is limited to full and queen sizes only.

We recommend the Golden Gate Beds wrought-iron bed frame for those who love antique furniture but need a budget-friendly alternative. Available in all five traditional bed sizes, this frame is crafted from powder-coated cast iron, with rounded knob accents for anyone with an affinity for decorative orbs. The durable metal is also rust-resistant, and reviews say that despite its metal frame, creaks and squeaks are minimal. For ultra-thick mattresses, you may find the footbed a tad short, but the 11-inch ground clearance offers plenty of height for storage.

While we tend to focus on adult furniture over here at AD, Amazon is a one-stop shop for beds for all sizes and ages. This option, a farmhouse-style wooden bed frame with an included trundle, is ideal for guest rooms and sleepover houses alike. Available in eight colors and wood tones, although we’re partial to the regal navy blue, this twin-sized frame is ideal for little ones who are ready to spread out. And with pinch-proof, easy-to-grab handle slots, the trundle bed can easily be pulled out by anyone.

Boasting nearly 10,000 five-star reviews, this classic metal bed frame is a needle in Amazon’s furniture haystack. Beloved for its sturdiness and easy assembly, as well as its farmhouse-leaning frame style, this bed is an excellent budget option. Metal frames have a tendency to click and squeak, but reviewers tout this frame’s noise-free build. We recommend this frame for those looking to add a bit of cottagecore charm and character to their bedroom. Pair with gingham sheets and plenty of mismatched throw pillows to complete the cozy aesthetic.
Best Boho Style Bed Frame

With a headboard crafted from woven rattan, the different textures can give your bedroom a casual yet elevated feeling, especially when paired with patterned bedding or a wall hanging. Positive reviews tout this frame’s sturdy construction, noting that the wood feels more high-quality than MDF or particleboard. Reviewers also say that assembly is relatively straightforward and only takes an hour or so.

Their bed frame and headboard is started with a steel frame and finished with upholstered linen fabric. It comes in gray and a natural linen color, both of which are easy to match with any interior design concept you’ve already got going. Wood slats take away the need for a box spring, and all the tools come in the box, so you can put it together with ease—even in a small apartment.

FAQs
What Are the Different Types of Bed Frames?
There are several different types of bed frames to choose from, but they mainly fall into the categories below:
Platform bed: An elevated, minimal bed frame type, here you’ll often find Japandi-inspired options—like the headboard-less Zinus Wen Wood Platform Bed we tested and reviewed. Mattresses usually sit on top of either slats or a lattice foundation for this bed frame type—no box spring needed.
Storage bed: Storage beds typically have underbed drawers or hydraulic lift systems. A hydraulic storage bed system has a gas-lift design, usually with one or two straps to grab hold of to lift the mattress. For beds with storage drawers, these are usually built into the front and/or the side of the bed. Some come with enclosed drawers, others with open shelving.
Classic platform: A simple option, this bed frame usually has a metal design (think: the Zinus 18-inch SmartBase Mattress Foundation) to support a mattress with or without a box spring.
Why Buy a Bed Frame on Amazon?
Convenience: This pretty much goes for any products on Amazon, but the best Amazon bed frames are also incredibly convenient to buy. Many furniture brands have a long lead time—it’s common to see some of the more notable brands offer an excruciating four-to-six-week delivery period. This might mean a difference in quality, but sometimes you just need that new bed frame right now, and that’s why we shop at Amazon. After all, most furniture can be delivered in two days.
Price: Another reason Amazon is great for buying furniture is because of the price point. If you want to test out a new bed frame but aren’t ready to commit to one that costs a few thousand dollars, there’s almost always a similar one on Amazon that will only cost you a few hundred dollars.
Selection: Maybe you need to know how a king bed frame feels in your space. Maybe you want an adjustable bed frame for that new mattress, or maybe you’re looking for your first upholstered headboard or a heavy-duty steel option that won’t break when your one-hundred-pound dog decides to repeatedly leap onto it. Amazon has it. Who knows, once you pick out your new frame on Amazon, whether it’s a twin-size bed frame, a queen-size bed frame, or a big old California king, you might just want to keep it forever.
Amazon users love to review: You might not be huge on reading reviews, but if there’s anywhere to trust user-generated testimonies, it’s Amazon. Prime members are notorious and prolific when it comes to reviewing products, so you’ll almost always have a plethora of paragraphs to read through. Sort the reviews to read the stellar five-star opinions, or check out the one-star reviews to see what went wrong.
What to Look Out for When Buying Amazon Furniture
Brands should feel real (and be real): This seems obvious, but in a lot of ways, Amazon is still the Wild West. In the same way that anyone can buy things on Amazon, anyone can sell things on Amazon. There are a ton of quality items to choose from on the site, but there are also a lot of duds that you want to avoid at all costs. When you’re shopping for couches on Amazon, if it seems too good to be true, it just might be. Use your gut and see if you can find details about the brand before you pull the trigger. When in doubt, search for the brand or product on Wayfair or another site and read some reviews there.
There should be reviews: With that in mind, you should only trust products with customer reviews from actual users (unless you’re absolutely sure the brand is real and the products are being sold by Amazon and not some sketchy third party). One good thing about Prime members is that they love to review what they buy, so while you may encounter what feel like fake or AI-generated reviews, you can also trust that many of the reviews are authentic and genuine. Browser add-ons like Fakespot can help you navigate fake reviews.
Keep an eye on pricing: Amazon prices can be hard to beat, especially when you factor in free shipping. But before you impulse buy, try to do a bit of research or take a few days to see if the price fluctuates. A piece of furniture you buy from a big name, for example, may always be the same base price, but some of the budget furniture brands raise and lower their prices indiscriminately. Sometimes they put something on “sale,” but you’ll notice that the MSRP went up, making it the same price as it was last week even though it’s marked down in the current moment.
