The best bed frames to make your place fit for a (super) king

It may be best known for its mattresses but Emma's prowess in the bedroom extends into the bed frame world, most notably with the brand's divan bed, a bestseller that's the definition of practical furniture. Available to shop with or without a headboard, it's a genius addition to smaller bedrooms where storage is at a premium, coming with either two or four drawers (or none, if you're not keen) to help you organise your things and keep your bedroom clutter-free. Functionality-wise, it's easy to assemble, supportive and convenient, but we will say there is a bit lacking in terms of design customisation. Currently, you can only shop it in beige and dark grey, both of which aren't the most inspiring of colours, but they still work nicely in bedrooms that have a more minimalist design or where you work colours into the room through rugs, bedding or other soft furnishings.

It’s a classic: the Winslow ottoman follows all the rules of sober bed design – clean, measured lines and spaces, not too far off the ground but not too high either, sturdy wood construction – and then jazzes them up a little with a beautiful deep blue shade that will add character to any bedroom (and, of course, you can choose from several different options, too). Throw in a foot or so of storage space under the mattress thanks to the ottoman, and you’re looking at a brilliant all-rounder of a bed frame. Tidy. £439. At dunelm.com

Okay, so, yeah: this one is a little mad. It’s a bed frame with a hidden compartment at the bottom of the bed, into which your TV can slide up or down at will, for whenever you fancy catching up on Bridgerton or The Bear without having to leave the comfort of your mattress. How decadent. But there’s more! This bed is also voice-activated, so you don’t even have to move to get the telly up – just shout at your bed to do it for you. Plus said telly is included in the bed’s price (as one of two options), so you won’t have to worry about whether your current screen will fit. £1,099.99 £799.99. At bensonsforbeds.co.uk

The great thing about an oak-effect bed is that it's not nearly as heavy as one made from solid oak would be. Hence the easy-access ottoman format of the Rodley from Happy Beds, which is largely made from MDF with a rough oak veneer on top. If that rustic touch is too much, however, you can also plump for a paler grey oak (and in fact, at the time of writing, it's cheaper to do so). Whatever your final option, you’ll have considerably more storage space to work with, making clothes strewn on the floor a thing of the past. From £524.99 £384.99. At happybeds.co.uk

Putting a small twist on the classic wooden bed frame, La Redoute’s Quilda uses a unique criss-cross headboard design to turn what would be quite a simple, minimalist piece into one that’s actually quite engaging. It’s fun and fresh thanks to the shapes, but without some of the more showy opulence of similar statement bed frames, still feeling subtle and keeping your room from feeling overwhelmed. The oak frame also gives off more of a vintage feel, while the slatted base adds extra support throughout the night to keep you comfortable. All in all, we’d say that’s an easy win. From £650 £455.

Sleigh beds are exactly the ticket if you want to give your bedroom a bit of heightened drama. The sloping headboard and footboard turn what otherwise would be a standard-looking wooden bed frame into one which is an instant statement in any room, drawing eyes immediately to the bed, meaning you’ll need to make sure your duvet covers, throws and pillows are all ready to be spotlighted. The mango wood adds to the elegance and sophistication of the bed, feeling more intense than a lighter one would, but without being too overpowering thanks to the rustic finish that keeps things a bit more casual. It’s an instant favourite for us and, as long as you don’t mind a footboard at the end of the bed (something for taller people to be wary of), a winner in any bedroom. From £1,125 £955.

Finding good bed frames for small spaces and bedrooms can be quite tricky, with brighter and taller designs making your space feel overwhelmed and more compact, and most just simply not having enough storage. The key here is to either opt for an ottoman or a bed with built-in shelving like this one from La Redoute in a simple colourway. Making the headboard work twice as hard, the Nikko frame incorporates five storage compartments, with the option to add a storage drawer underneath. It’ll also make a major difference to how your room feels, decluttering your space, and removing the need for a bedside table as you can keep books, water glasses, and your phone above your head.

If there was ever a piece of furniture to challenge the sofa bed for being the most multi-tasking item in your house, a storage bed would be it. But practical as they may be, storage bed frames can be surprisingly stylish too, reducing any excess clutter and creating a smooth, streamlined look. Working with a lifting mattress mechanism rather than sliding storage drawers, Heal's Alba is an effortlessly stylish option that'll work wonders in small bedrooms where storage and space for drawers to slide out are minimal. The headboard and frame are all covered in fabric, of which there are 11 colour options, which can be easily removed and washed in order to keep everything as hygienic and clean as possible. And as for the design itself, the additional height of the oversized headboard and the bold colour options all make this into one hell of a statement piece. And what else should your bed be?

There’s nothing like a good bit of customisation to turn our heads for a new bed frame, and this one from Nectar has plenty going for it in that department. Available in four different colours, as well as in four different configurations (each of which has a different storage option), it’s easily mouldable to what you’re looking for, whether that be an ottoman or four-drawer divan bed, or a brighter silver or darker taupe look. Should you fancy even more choice, Nectar also has the Divan Bed, Luxury Divan Bed and Luxury Plus Divan Bed, so there's plenty of choice if divan is what you're after to. The chic blue velvet of the Grand Divan is gorgeous though, and gives a welcome touch of opulence in the bedroom. £1,520 £684. At nectarsleep.co.uk
