If space in your home is a little tight then check out our great range of Space Saver Beds!

There are many things to take into consideration when purchasing a new bed. For most people it is the largest thing in the bedroom and this can mean that space is often compromised. At Get Laid Beds we don’t believe this has to be the case!  Whilst we offer a great choice of Standard Frames to suit any bedroom, our range of Space Saving Beds come in really handy too – especially for those with limited or restricted room sizes (such as loft conversions or box rooms) and is the reason many people choose us to hand build their next bed.

Many customers ask what the differences are between a Standard and Space Saver frame so this Blog will help you identify which one is right for your needs. The clue may be in the name but the main difference between them is our Space Saver bed frames are slightly smaller than their Standard alternative but still take the same sized mattress; with the Space Saver frames no more than 3cm wider than the mattress. This can make all the difference to those with fitted wardrobes or smaller room dimensions.

A standard bed frame and a space-saving bed frame are two different types of bed frames that are designed for different purposes. Here are some key differences between the two:

Standard bed frame:

  • A standard bed frame is typically larger in size, and is designed to accommodate a standard-sized mattress.
  • It is usually made of wood or metal and can come in a variety of styles and designs.
  • Standard bed frames usually have a headboard, footboard, and side rails to support the mattress.
  • They tend to be more spacious and can offer more room for under-bed storage.
  • Standard bed frames take up more space in a room and may not be ideal for smaller rooms or apartments.

    Space-saving bed frame:

  • A space-saving bed frame is designed to save space by using a smaller footprint.
  • They tend to be more compact and can be made of a variety of materials, including metal or wood.
  • They often have a platform design that eliminates the need for a box spring, and also can have a built-in storage underneath the bed. Space-saving bed frames are ideal for small spaces, or for people who want to maximize the space in their room.
  • They may not have headboard and footboard, and can be less sturdy than a standard bed frame.

    Another main difference is aesthetic – the mattress would ordinarily rest within the frame of our standard wooden bed where the mattress instead lays on top of the frame in a Space Saver. One of our most popular frames is the Low Oriental Space Saver.  This can give the Space Saver a different look and feel. And if you are looking to buy two beds to push together to create a larger sleeping space then our White Knight Space Saver is ideal.
