Unusual Bed Design

Bed frames, also called bed steads, are made of wood or metal. The frame is made up of head, foot, and side rails. For heavy duty or larger frames (such as for queen- and king-sized beds), the bed frame also includes a center support rail. These rails are assembled to create a box for the mattress or mattress/box spring to sit on.
Types of bed frames include:
• platform - typically used without a box spring
• captain - has drawers beneath the frame to make use of the space between the floor and the bed frame
