Grey Wooden Beds, Bed Frames & Divan Bases

Finding the Right Grey Bed Frame for Your Room

Grey bed frames easily add character to your room as they aren't a commonly used colour. There are many types of grey bed frames to fit small and large spaces and complement any type of decor. Learn more about grey bed frames to help you choose one that suits your needs.

Types of grey bed frames

You can find grey slats, box springs, and divan beds. Slats consist of bars or planks across the frame to support your mattress. Solid slats provide firm support. Sprung slats, also called Euro slats, are curved to allow for more bounce. The thicker the sprung slats, the firmer the support is. Box springs are wood box-like structures with springs inside. They help absorb shock while supporting your mattress. However, you need to pair a box spring with a bed frame because it can't be used on its own. Box springs need airflow, so they can't be placed directly on the floor.

Divan beds consist of a base surrounded by fabric and come with a mattress. They are usually on caster wheels to make them easy to move as needed. If you want to use your own mattress, you can find divan bed bases. Some divan bed bases feature drawers and headboards. They can be an affordable way to get a complete bed. Divan beds are structured in a way that the mattress sits on top of the base rather than inside a frame. This reduces how much space the bed takes up.

Style options for grey bed frames

Grey bed frames may be made of wood, metal, or leather. Wood bed frames help set a cosy atmosphere in your room. Depending on their finish, grey wood frames can emit a country vibe or a contemporary style. If you're going for a contemporary minimalist look, grey metal bed frames are a suitable choice. A grey leather base creates an upscale appearance for your bed. As with other leather products, you'll need to clean the leather to keep it in good condition.

If you want your bed to be a dramatic focal point, canopy beds and four-poster beds are good choices as long as your ceiling is high. Otherwise, you'll want to choose another type of bed frame that is more ornate in its design.

How much space is needed?

To walk around your room with ease, you'll want to keep around 0.6–0.9 metres of clearance around the bed. Some bed frames add a few centimetres of space, so you should remember to consider that when taking measurements and estimating how much space your bed setup will take.
