The stories of bed frame of your bed
A bed frame is the integral part of a bed which is used to position a mattress or setting a foundation on the floor. In general bed frame is made of metal or wood outline that makes the basic foundation of the bed. Bed frame provides extra strength to bed to stand straight and to retain the mattress in its own place. It is often called bed stead also and it has different integral parts like side boards, footboard, and headboards, center support rail, bed posts and some other common features.
Bed frames are commonly made with different materials like brass, wood, and steel but look-wise seem similar in shape. The frames are made of four legs and two of these legs remain at the front side and rest two remains attached on the hind portion of the bed. The position of the legs makes perfect rectangle form; in some frame extension of legs are also found and these are called as bed posts.
Larger beds are called queen sized beds or king sized beds. In these larger beds, a wooden or metallic piece is placed crosswise the length of the frame. This bar supplies extra support for the unsupported middle of larger mattresses. However in single bed or double bed mattresses, the extra support is not that required because in these cases the mattresses remain set by the edge shelves on the edges of the said bed frame.
