Standard Height Beds

Classic Bed Frame Styles

• Platform Beds – Clean lines and a low-profile silhouette paired with a standard height base create a modern, minimalist look ideal for contemporary homes.

• Storage Beds – Perfect for practical lifestyles, these classic beds combine a traditional bed frame aesthetic with discreet underbed storage to maximise space.

• Ottoman Beds – Offering hidden full-bed storage, ottoman designs suit busy households or smaller bedrooms where space efficiency is key.

• Space Saver Beds – Designed for compact living, these beds maintain a standard height while optimising floor space in guest rooms, flats, or multi-use spaces.

• Four Poster Beds – A statement traditional bed style that brings elegance and grandeur, ideal for larger bedrooms or more luxurious interiors.

• Scandinavian Style Beds – Simple, functional, and crafted from natural wood, these beds suit calm, neutral interiors and minimalist lifestyles.

• Beds Without Headboards – A flexible and understated option that works well in loft spaces, under sloped ceilings, or for those who prefer a pared-back look.

Why We Love Classic Standard Height Beds

• High Bed Base – Some of our standard height beds feature a 40cm base, making it easier and more comfortable to get in and out of bed.

• Deep Storage – With a range of underbed storage options, from half-length to full-length boxes on each side, you can tailor your storage setup to suit your needs.

• Classic Bed Design – Timeless and versatile, these traditional bed frames complement a wide variety of bedroom styles, layouts, and décor choices.

Top Traditional Bed Tips From Our Joiners

• Consider Leg Styles – Whether tapered, curved, turned, or square, leg styles can significantly influence the overall look of your bed; alternatively, a floating design can create a lighter, more modern feel.

• Bed Frame Height vs Headboard Height – Bed frame height affects how easy it is to get in and out of bed, while headboard height plays a key role in comfort when sitting up and the visual impact within your room.

• Remember the Mattress – Mattresses typically add between 15–40cm to your bed’s total height, so consider both frame and mattress together to achieve your ideal bed with height.

• Consider Centre Support – For king size beds and above, a centre support rail helps maintain structure and consistent underbed height over time, while smaller reinforced frames with solid slats often don’t require one.

FAQs

What is the best bed height for seniors?

A higher bed base is often better for seniors, as it reduces strain on joints and makes getting in and out of bed easier.

What is the ideal bed height for couples?

The ideal height is one where both partners can sit on the edge with feet flat on the floor, typically achieved with a standard height bed plus mattress.

How high is a standard bed base?

A standard bed base is usually around 35–45cm high, depending on the design and style.

Are taller bed frames better?

Taller bed frames can offer easier access and more storage, but the best choice depends on your comfort, room size, and personal preference.

Do bed frames come in different heights?

Yes, bed frames vary widely in height, from low platform styles to high bed base designs and fully custom options.

Are higher beds better for your back?

Height alone doesn’t determine back support; a supportive mattress and proper spinal alignment are more important, though easier access can reduce strain.

How high is too high for a bed?

If your feet can’t comfortably touch the floor when sitting on the edge, the bed is likely too high for everyday use.
