We know large purchases like bedroom furniture can be intimidating. That’s why Macy’s is here to help you make smart decisions about beds & frames. At Macy’s, you’ll find everything you need for the perfect night’s rest: from bed frames & box springs to mattresses and toppers. Check out our top tips for choosing the right bed base before you buy.
Metal Frame
It’s best to establish some parameters before shopping for a bed foundation. Do you prefer a standard mattress foundation or low-profile bed frames? These choices can make a big difference in your comfort. You’ve likely seen the metal frame for mattress set-up before since it’s the most common option. These usually involve a box spring with the mattress placed on top.
Platform Bed
By contrast, a platform bed base eliminates the need for a box spring. Platform bed bases have lower profiles with solid or slatted foundational surfaces. Some versions even offer extra storage in the form of built-in drawers. But before you rush off to buy a platform bed base, remember that this type of mattress foundation sits lower to the floor and makes your mattress feel firmer, both of which can be uncomfortable for some people.
Customizable Nighttime Comfort
An adjustable bed base is another option when you’re shopping for beds. Adjustable beds allow you to change positions with the touch of a button. These frames can incline your torso and elevate your legs independently, and many adjustable frames are compatible with regular mattresses. If you have trouble getting in and out of bed or want your bed at a specific angle, an adjustable base might be the right choice. However, adjustable beds are often more expensive than plain bed frames. They’re also much heavier than standard mattress foundations, making it difficult to change the bedroom layout or move them around once installed.
A bed frame is the foundation for a good night’s sleep. Discover your best rest yet with beds and frames from Macy’s.
