When one has to go out to the market to get a new bed frame, the choice usually falls between buying one made out
of metal or one made out of wood. If one goes for the metallic one, there are a lot of good steel bed frames available that prove to be sturdy, inexpensive, durable, and having good looks with plenty of design possibilities. The choice of purchasing the right steel bed frame rests with the individual and depends on his/her preferences regarding the design, collapsibility, the weight of the bed frame, and its appearance looks.
A steel bed frame could prove to be a great option for anyone looking for a long-lasting and rather inexpensive bed frame that will serve the purpose for a very long time. After all, an average individual spends one-third of his/her life sleeping, and therefore, it is not just the mattress that counts but also the type and quality of the bed frame. For someone looking for a sturdy bed frame, a steel bed frame is a logical choice as it holds the mattress very well and lasts a very long time.
There are several advantages of getting a steel bed frame, and these are described below:
Highly Durable
The steel bed frames are highly durable. Steel is a very strong and sturdy material and lasts for a very long time. Steel can withstand wear and tear related to everyday activities. It is a very hard metal, and it will also resist scratches. Steel is made by the addition of carbon to iron, and this makes the iron harder. It has got a higher tensile strength as compared to metal. Steel does not resist corrosion as much as stainless steel does; however, as the steel bed frames are used in closed living spaces like bedrooms, etc. the possibility of corrosion is always very low. As compared to
wooden bed frames, steel bed frames are very well protected from such issues as a beetle, termite, etc.
Moreover, unlike the wooden bed frames that are susceptible to the pulling away of screws and bolts due to the soft nature of timber, the screws and bolts in the case of the steel bed frames remain intact for a very long time. Thus, the wear and tear that occurs in the case of wooden bed frames do not take place in the case of steel bed framers allowing these to last for a very long time. As far as corrosion is concerned, the modern steel bed frames of today have a protective anti-corrosion coating that prevents the bed frames from rusting and enhances their quality as well as useful life. The greatest advantage this feature has to offer is that when the steel bed frame has become old and starts to look aged, the owner can simply get another coating of the anti-corrosion material, and the steel bed frame will begin to look as good as new once again.
The steel bed frames are available in the market in many different forms and designs. They are also available in a variety of sizes, and thus, they can fit small rooms, medium-sized rooms, and large rooms. Regardless of what size one is looking for a steel bed frame of the required size is easily available depending upon the requirements of the individual. These bed frames can even be used for decorative purposes as a lot of designs are available, and it is possible to choose a design that blends very well with the existing room decor or ends up enhancing its overall appeal by acting as a centerpiece in the bedroom. Some people might be having a lot of furniture at homemade out of metal, and they might want to add a steel bed frame to go along with not just the bedroom décor but also with the overall furniture preference in their home. Thus, the availability of lots of different designs in many different sizes makes steel bed frames blend easily with the requirements at home.
Inexpensive / Money Saver
This is a major advantage that the owner of the steel bed frame gets after purchasing one. As compared to the wooden bed frames, the steel bed frames are available at lower prices. However, despite the lower price, one is not required to compromise on the style and design as the steel bed frames are available in a variety of elegant and cool designs. The money saved on the steel bed frame can always be invested in purchasing a very high-quality mattress for the bed frame. The money saved on the bed frame is not just the one that would have been upfront for buying a wooden bed frame instead but, as the steel bed frame lasts for a very long time, one can add the savings that one makes when there is no need to purchase a new bed frame after a few years as the steel bed frame stays strong and sturdy for years to come.
Style / Sophistication
Steel bed frames are available to satisfy the aesthetics of a lot of different types of people. Some people might be looking for a contemporary styled bed frame with clean lines, and others could be looking for bed frames that are reminiscent of the Victorian era. Both these types of people, as well as others, will find steel bed frames available to suit their preferences. Steel bed frames are available with a variety of finishes as well. It is quite possible that at different times, some of the finishes might no longer remain in vogue. All is not lost for such steel bed frames. They can always be polished with a modern and more in-vogue finish to give the steel bed frame an altogether new look that is perfectly in line with the current fashion trend. Steel bed frames can also be found for kids’ rooms, and there are many designs available that will suit the requirements of children in terms of aesthetics, patterns, and designs that the kids will like.
Convenient
Steel bed frames provide ultimate convenience. They are very easy to assemble as well as disassemble whenever
required. Moreover, as the bed frames are made out of hollow metal, they do not weight a lot. Some wooden bed frames could be very heavy and very hard to move every time the furniture in the room needs to be rearranged. As a part of the modern lifestyle, it is better to have light furniture that is easy to move. One might want to rearrange the furniture in the room periodically to give them a new look every time or the rearrangement might be required as a few visitors are expected. Regardless of what the reason for a reorganization is, the steel bed frames are very easy to handle and move either after disassembly or even otherwise.
Safety
Steel bed frames are very safe to use. They are designed to look good without compromising on safety. They are very durable and do not collapse. They are also resistant to many other types of hazards that might harm wooden furniture. These include the possibilities of fire and the spoiling of the exterior of the furniture by pets. Fire could be very destructive, and the pets can end up spoiling the other types of bed frames to the extent that they become unusable.
Features of Steel Bed Frames
Steel bed frames have got several features, and these are described below:
Excellent Mattress Support
Steel bed frames are often collapsible, and they are mounted on casters or platforms. They provide excellent support for the mattress. There is just one aspect that needs attention, and that is that the legs of the steel bed frames need to have plastic covers to protect the wooden floors on which they are placed. Protective discs can be purchased separately to cover the legs of the steel bed frames so that they will not scratch the hardwood floors underneath.
Thick/thin Gauge
There is a comfort and cost trade-off in the case of the steel frame beds. The steel frame beds that are made out of heavy steel gauge are slightly costlier as compared to the ones made out of thin steel gauge. The stability of the bed frame is also related to the thickness of the Gauge. A thin gauge steel bed frame is not necessarily weak. It is simply not as strong as the one with a thicker gauge. Therefore, it is acceptable for smaller beds, but large king-size steel frame beds will require thick gauge steel.
Platform / Box Spring
The platform steel bed frames allow the mattress to be placed directly on them. The mattress will remain flat and will be properly supported. The platform beds have got large and flat surfaces that support the mattresses. Thus, the requirement for a box spring is eliminated. However, in the case of less expensive steel bed frames, box spring might be required. The platform steel bed frames normally sit closer to the floor, while the ones with the box spring will usually be higher and off the ground.
Other Features
The other important features of the steel bed frame include the clearance space from the floor and whether the steel bed frame requires the use of headboard brackets, which might or might not be included in the package purchased.
