The Best Bed Frames to Get the Best Sleep of Your Life

West Elm is full of modern and attractive bed frames, and its Emmett is one of the most crowd-pleasing options. The entire design is customizable from the type of headboard to the fabric and the legs. The silhouette also comes with optional under-bed storage, and you can opt for white glove delivery to have the bed assembled for you.

Thuma's simple bed frame can be spotted all over social media — and with good reason. The modularity of the frame allows you to add some customization with certain accessories, like a headboard, tray and under-bed storage. And when you put together a Thuma bed, it'll feel like you're playing Tetris. Our tester loved how this easy-to-assemble bed uses interlocking joints to stay put, avoiding the need for tools, screws or a mechanical engineering degree to put your bed together. And that's another huge selling point of the bed: It's practically made for people who are constantly moving.

Our tester was a quick convert when it came to the ease of assembly and simple design, but he had some notes on other aspects of the bed. For example, because nothing is screwed together, it's difficult to move once assembled as you risk pulling something out of place by accident. Similarly, the upholstered headboard, called the PillowBoard, that you can add on to the bed does not attach itself to anything, simply resting between your mattress and the wall. (But the brand has recently released a wooden headboard for a $600 upcharge that does attach itself to the bed.) However, our tester believes the bed's functionality, timeless design and lifetime warranty offer an exceptional bang for your buck, even at its high price point.

Zinus makes a whole bunch of furniture that's affordable and easy to put together. In a way, it's like an online-only Ikea, minus the Swedish product names. Its Suzanne platform bed frame has nearly 12,000 reviews on Amazon, a majority of them being five-star ratings. The added headboard is a nice touch, and the whole thing is made of solid pine wood and steel. It ships in a single 90-pound box, so no need to hire a team of weightlifters to get it inside your home.

If you're going to buy an all-wood bed frame, make sure the wood is of the highest quality. The CB2 Dondra bed is made of sustainably sourced wood, from the teak used in the headboard to the mango wood used in the base. The wood reflects its individuality through its unique composition of knots, tones and splits, and it makes it a beautiful piece of furniture besides a functional one.

Want a headboard? You got it. Under-bed storage? It's available. Suddenly decide you need to upgrade from a twin mattress to a king? Floyd's simple, modular bed frame can do all of this and more. You can assemble the bed frame without any tools, and it's just as easy to disassemble if you're constantly moving. Besides its customizable design, the Floyd bed frame just looks really, really nice.

Our tester has been sleeping on the popular frame for two years now and says it lives up to its promises of easy assembly, long-lasting, eco-conscious build and sleek design. However, the headboard attachment our tester purchased and the slats of wood in the frame itself require frequent adjustments, which is difficult, especially for those living in a small space. Our tester also gave a warning to be mindful of your ankles and shins around the edge of the bed.

Although the thought of regularly cleaning a white bed frame (or any piece of furniture for that matter) might send some of us into a spiral, our tester assures us that the cover on this beautiful frame from Crate & Barrel is not only easy to clean but also stain-repellant. Its soft, oversized look and feel, gives it a sanctuary-esque quality, he says, which makes sense considering the frame is made by interior designer Leanne Ford.

The overstuffed, oversized headboard gives you a comfortable place to rest (and not accidentally bump) your head, but it does add quite a lot of width to the frame, making it a better choice for those with room to spare in their bedroom. Additionally, thanks to the slip cover, you don't have to worry about hitting your ankles against the low frame like you might with a Floyd bed, says our tester. And as a bonus, the wood of the frame is FSC-certified, meaning it was sourced from responsibly managed forests.

One of the best ways to ensure ultimate comfort in a bed frame is by buying one from a mattress maker. (Plus, you can take advantage of those frequent mattress sales.) This wooden platform bed by Casper has rounded corners — a stylish and thoughtful detail that's also kid-friendly. The frame is compatible with Casper's adjustable bases as well, offering maximum comfort. And you have a couple headboard options to sweeten the deal.

Ikea has a lot of beds, and its Malm collection of bedroom furniture is probably its most minimalistic. With the Malm bed, you get a fairly well-made piece of furniture at a very wallet-friendly price point. The under-bed storage provides ample space, and if you don't the storage, you can forego it and save a nice chunk of money.

When you make the best mattress there is, you're probably going to make a pretty good bed frame too. Saatva sells 12 bed frame styles, with the Santorini being one of the brand's most basic silhouettes. The frame comes in velvet or linen and is fully upholstered — even on the back of the headboard if you don't have an extra wall to rest it against. The Santorini also comes in a platform option sans headboard that is $600 cheaper.

For those just looking to keep their mattress off the floor, consider a metal bed frame. Layla's is affordable and easy to set up, and thanks to its ingenious design, it can support up to 2,000 pounds. The brand claims you can easily assembly the frame in under a minute without any tools. With steel rails and fiberglass-infused resin legs, the bed is as sturdy as it looks and won't create any extra noise or motion transfer. We'd say the only downside of the bed is that it requires a box spring, or you can go for Layla's foundation that will cost you another $324.

Calling all box spring users: This frame actually requires that you use a box spring that is 5-9 inches tall. Although you can't tell by looking at it, the box spring sits inside the pillow-like foam frame that sits on the ground. And you can also buy a separate headboard for the frame for $430. With a similar look to the Leanne Ford bed frame above, this one is a fraction of the price and boasts a plush pillow-like exterior, instead of a wood frame covered by a slip cover. Plus, this bed style and SoftFrame Designs itself has gained traction on social media over the last year for the popularity of this frame.

Known for its quality, out-of-the box modular furniture, Burrow does it again with this wooden bed frame. Inspired by elements of Japanese joinery with ergonomic hand screws, the Chorus Bed is easy to assemble yourself. And its simple design can be dressed up with a wooden or fabric headboard for another $500.

An adjustable bed frame for under $1,000 may seem too good to be true or you might think it lacks the features of pricier models. But Nectar's adjustable bed frame packs a lot of good in a budget-friendly bed frame. It offers a pressure-relieving zero gravity setting, and it can be programmed to remember your favorite sleep position. The bed even has a built-in massager that divides your body into three sections, each receiving a 15-minute massage.
