As discussed previously, the most popular choice by far, for those living in the UK, is a pine bed frame, but this is not the only choice available. Focusing again on the UK market lets take a look at some of the other single bed frames on offer. Wooden Single Bed Frames If pine is not your idea of class then why not upgrade to a higher quality of wood? It will cost you more but a beech or oak bed frame screams class and will add a good deal of sophistication to your bedroom. The Hush Oak Guest Bed is a good example of a well priced quality oak single bed. With a Shaker design I particularly like the functionality of this bed. Not only does it have a second trundle bed beneath but this bed can be raised up to the same level as the top mattress to create a double bed. Very cool. Click image for more info. Single Metal Bed Frames Personally I am not a huge fan of metal bed frames but there are some good designs out there and they often cost less so are a good option, if you’re searching for cheap single bed frames, as they will be sturdy and durable. I prefer metal beds that have a metal, preferably burnished, finish to them, rather than a painted metal frame. This Braemar Modern Metal Single Bed is a good case in point, with a nice clean design it will suit most simple interior decoration and I like the brushed steel effect. Click image for more info. Leather and Faux Leather Single Bed Frames There has been a big increase in the popularity of leather or fake leather beds over the last few years driven probably in part by their introduction to many hotel suites. They are fashionable at the moment and there are some decent priced products around, obviously cheaper if you go for the leather effect look rather than real leather. To be honest I think many of the faux leather single beds look just as good as the real thing and much easier to clean! This Mistral Single Leather Bedstead has got great looks and is reasonably priced. Click image for more info. White Single Bed Frames Do you like the style of a wooden bed but don’t like the texture of wood because it doesn’t suit the rest of your decoration? No problem there are some great single wood beds out there already painted a clean gleaming white which should work well in any scheme. If you can’t make white match what on earth are you decorating the rest of the bedroom with? Here’s a bed I really like, the Barcelona Single White Pine Bed Frame is made of solid pine and has a great slatted headboard. Simple strong lines make it classic but not fussy perfect for your guest bedroom. Click image for more info. Modern Single Bed Frames In the never ending attemp to re invent the wheel designers have looked at many differnt ways to reinvigorate the design of the humble single bed, some with greater success than others. Unless you have a fortune to spend on cutting edge designer furniture I would stick with one of the more conventional beds showcased above. However I did find one wood and meatal combination that I thought was pretty good looking so here it is. The Tetras Beech Single Bed Frame has wooden bed posts but with a modern slat effect head and base board and I think this design works very well all things considered. It is also very well priced.
