Why choose a metal bed?
Metal beds have been a popular choice for bedrooms all over the world for years. Whether your interior is modern or you prefer a classic style, a metal bed fits in with any scheme. It offers a combination of practicality, durability and good looks that other materials struggle to match. A metal bed can also be a great replacement for your current bed, letting you reuse your existing slatted bed base and mattress.
A metal bed is not just somewhere to sleep, it is a statement piece that adds character to your bedroom. With so many options available, there is always a metal bed to suit your personal style and your interior.
Durability and strength: a bed for life
One of the biggest advantages of metal beds is their unrivalled durability. Metal frames are exceptionally sturdy and stand up to daily wear and tear. That makes them a smart long-term investment, especially compared with wooden beds, which can creak, warp or attract woodworm over time.
Metal bed frames are usually made from:
-
Steel: excellent strength and robustness
-
Brass: warm in colour and timelessly elegant
-
Cast iron: heavier and extremely strong
Thanks to the way they are built, metal beds can carry heavy mattresses without any trouble and give a stable base that does not bend. The result is a better bed that stays comfortable for years.
Timeless design for every bedroom
Metal beds have a distinctive, timeless look that adapts to many interior styles. Whether you are furnishing a minimalist bedroom or want to create a romantic feel, a metal bed offers countless design options:
-
Classic and nostalgic: decorative scrolls and patterns for a vintage look
-
Modern and minimalist: clean lines and colours for a contemporary style
-
Industrial: a raw, rugged look that suits a loft-style space perfectly
Metal beds come in many colours, from traditional black and white to bold shades such as bronze, copper or even bright colours. So there is always an option that blends seamlessly with your existing interior. Iron beds are also available in a range of styles and colours, and combine durability with easy maintenance.
Comfort and support
A metal bed does not just look stylish, it also gives you the comfort and support you need for a good night's sleep. It is important to choose a bed that suits your height so you can sleep comfortably. Ideally, a bed is about 20 cm longer than you are. For example, if you are 180 cm tall, a bed 200 cm long is ideal.
When choosing a metal bed, it is also important to look at the width. A roomy double bed 140 cm wide gives two people enough space to sleep comfortably. Metal beds also come in a variety of colours, so you can choose one that matches your interior perfectly.
Metal beds are also an excellent choice for people with allergies. They are less prone to dust mites and easy to clean, which makes for a healthy, hygienic bedroom.
When choosing a metal bed, it is also worth checking the quality of the bed frame. A good bed frame should be sturdy and durable so that it supports your mattress and your body properly. The material of the frame, such as metal or iron, plays a crucial part in this.
Our range includes a wide choice of metal beds in different widths and lengths, including extra-long (210 or 220 cm). Our expert team is always ready to help you find the perfect metal bed.
Easy to care for and simple to clean
Unlike wooden beds, which need regular polishing or treatment against insects, metal beds are virtually maintenance-free. A damp cloth is usually enough to remove dust and dirt. They also resist stains and discolouration, so they look as good as new for years.
The smooth surface of a metal bed also makes it easy to:
-
Remove dirt and dust with little effort
-
Wipe away spills straight away before they soak in
-
Keep the bed hygienic without special cleaning products
Ideal for people with allergies
Metal beds are an excellent choice for allergy sufferers. The smooth metal surface stops dust, pollen and allergens from building up, unlike upholstered beds or wooden beds with cracks and gaps.
Because metal beds contain no natural fibres, they offer:
-
Fewer hiding places for dust mites
-
No breeding ground for mould
-
A hypoallergenic sleeping environment that helps you sleep well
For the best protection against allergies, combine your metal bed with a hypoallergenic mattress and bedding.
Practical to use and easy to move
Metal beds are usually lighter and easier to move than solid wooden beds. That is ideal for people who:
-
Move house often
-
Like to rearrange their bedroom
-
Have a narrow staircase or hallway
Assembling a metal bed is usually straightforward and needs few tools. Most models come with clear instructions so you can put them together quickly.
A choice of sizes and options
Metal beds come in all the standard sizes, from single to large double:
-
90 x 200 cm (single bed)
-
140 x 200 cm (double bed)
-
160 x 200 cm (king-size bed)
-
180 x 200 cm (super king-size bed)
-
Extra long: 210 or 220 cm in length
Many metal bed frames also have practical features such as:
-
An adjustable bed base for extra comfort
-
Space under the bed for storage boxes
-
Compatibility with different types of slatted bed base
An eco-friendly choice for conscious consumers
More and more people care about sustainability, and metal beds score well here. Many metal beds are made from recycled steel, which helps to reduce their environmental footprint.
Metal bed frames can also be fully recycled at the end of their life, which underlines their eco-friendly credentials. Making metal beds also uses less wood, which helps to protect forests.
