Types of Queen Bed Frames
There are several different styles of queen bed frames to choose from. Here are some of the most popular options:
Poster Bed Frames
Poster beds feature tall vertical posts at each corner that extend above the mattress, usually topped with a decorative knob or finial. They provide ample surface area for draping fabrics or adding a canopy.
Panel Bed Frames
Panel beds have a perimeter header rail that extends above the mattress supported by vertical posts or spindles. They often feature decorative cut-out patterns or panels between posts.
Platform Beds
Platform beds consist of a sturdy box frame structure that sits directly on the floor. The mattress sits directly on top without a box spring. They provide storage space underneath and work well with adjustable beds.
Daybeds
Similar to a sofa bed, daybeds feature cushions or upholstery that can be converted into a bed. They provide extra seating during the day.
Sleigh Beds
Sleigh beds feature decorative sleigh-like curved headboards and footboards.
Murphy Beds
Also called wall beds, Murphy beds cleverly fold up vertically taking the bed out of sight when not in use to save floor space.
Canopy Beds
Canopy beds feature a decorative fabric canopy that hangs above the bed on all four corners, usually from a poster bed or sleigh bed frame.
Metal Bed Frames
Modern metal bed frames provide simple, clean lines. They tend to be low profile and lightweight constructed of steel, aluminum, or iron.
Bookcase Beds
Bookcase beds feature decorative storage spaces and shelves built into the headboard, concealing the mattress and bedding inside during the day.
Storage Beds
Storage beds are a queen bed frame with storage built-in. The storage can be drawers or bins underneath for maximizing space and tidily storing linens and extra bedding out of sight.

FAQs
How wide is a queen-sized bed?
Standard queen bed dimensions are 60" wide by 80" long. This allows a bit more spread than a full bed, making it comfortable for two people to sleep side by side.
What size rug for a queen bed?
When placing a rug around a queen bed, you'll want it to extend at least 1-2 feet on each side beyond the bed frame to define the bedroom seating area. An 8' x 10' rectangular or 9' round rug generally works well proportionately for most queen bedrooms.
