A Complete Guide To King Bed Frames

If you’re looking to upgrade your bedroom with more space, style, and sleep comfort, a king bed frame could be just what you need. Ideal for couples, growing families, or anyone who values a spacious sleep setup, king bed frames offer unmatched comfort and luxury.

At Bevmarks, we know that the right bed frame doesn’t just hold your mattress in place. It should create a sleeping environment that supports uninterrupted rest, spacious storage, and an aesthetic design to elevate your room.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about king bed frames, from their distinct features, types and sizing dimensions, to important considerations to think about before buying one.

Features Of A King-Size Bed

King-size beds are the largest standard bed size available in Australia and are the perfect choice for anyone who values having more space for their bed. It’s also the best choice for couples, as you’ll still have plenty of room to share without feeling cramped for personal space.

Key benefits of a king bed frame:

  • More room to move: At 183cm wide and 203cm long, king beds offer ample space for couples, taller individuals, or even for kids and pets.
  • Improved sleep quality: With more room to spread out, you’re less likely to have any sleep disturbances, especially if you or your partner tends to move a lot in their sleep.
  • Stylish centrepiece: A king bed frame can elevate the look of your bedroom and give it a more luxurious feel.
  • Functional features: Many king bed frames will come with additional features like storage drawers or adjustability.

Types Of Bed Frames

Choosing the right bed frame depends on your available bedroom space, lifestyle, and aesthetic preferences. Here are the most common types of bed frames available at Bevmarks:

  • Platform bed frames: Low-profile and modern, these work well in rooms with minimalist design, and often don’t require a box spring.
  • Storage bed frames: Designed with built-in drawers or compartments to keep your bedroom clutter-free.
  • Upholstered bed frames: Add warmth and softness with fabric-covered frames in either neutral or bold tones.
  • Timber bed frames: Timeless and sturdy, these bed frames give your room a classic Australian look.

King Bed Frame Size Dimensions

If you are considering buying a king bed frame, it’s important to understand how much room it will take up and to compare different sizes to see which can fit your room. Here’s a general comparison of bed frame dimensions across the standard Australian sizes:

  • King bed frame: Approximately 188-192 cm wide x 210-255 cm long
  • Queen bed frame: Approximately 158-162 cm wide x 195-203 cm long
  • Double bed frame: Approximately 138-152 cm wide x 180-188cm long

Actual measurements can vary depending on the style (e.g. timber, upholstered, storage, or platform), so it's worth checking the specs of your chosen frame to see if they can fit both your bed base and mattress.

Key Factors to Consider Before Buying a Bed Frame

Room Size

It’s good practice to measure your room and allow enough clearance for walking space, bedside tables, and additional furniture. Ideally, you’ll want at least 60 cm of space on each side and at the foot of the bed for comfortable movement.

Mattress Compatibility

Not every king bed frame may suit every king-sized mattress. Always check to see if your preferred bed frame can offer the right level of support, and whether your mattress can provide adequate support for your sleeping position.

Budget and Quality

A king bed is essentially an investment for your sleep health. Opt for quality materials, especially if you’re looking for a long-term solution to your sleeping needs. At Bevmarks, our bed frames are designed to last and support your mattress properly for years to come.

Storage Needs

If you have limited storage space in your room, consider buying a bed frame with built-in storage drawers to give you more options without taking up more space. This is especially useful for smaller bedrooms or apartments.
