Two things can be true: You need a bed frame that’ll fit your bedroom design, and you need it to ship in speedy fashion. The best bed frames on Amazon check both boxes and are sturdy, stylish, and affordable, too. We scoured the site to find the picks that suit all kinds of styles, sleepers, and price points. You can also get one for a great deal during the e-tailer’s Prime Day Sale, which runs from July 8th to the 11th.

Best Amazon Bed Frames, Overall
Rustic design, wood slats add solid foundation for a mattress, affordable
Some customers mention screw looseness in reviews
- Colors: Brown, cherry, natural, rustic pine
- Sizes: Twin, full, queen, king
- Weight limit: 700 lb.
- Features: Platform design
If you’re on the hunt for a high-quality bed frame that’s designed to stand the test of time, turn to the Zinus Wen Wood Platform Bed Frame. While it doesn’t come with extras like charging ports you can find in some modern models, it has a wood frame and solid steel interior to give it lasting durability. The wood slats also offer stability and a strong foundation for a mattress—no box spring required. As a finishing touch, it’s defined by a rustic, cherry-finish design that’s ideal for farmhouse-style spaces.
AD contributor Will Porter has this frame in his home and raves about its quality. “When my partner and I were looking to buy a frame, we really just wanted something that looked nice, was affordable, and wouldn’t fall apart quickly,” he says. “It looks great; the cherry finish is versatile and doesn’t look cheap. We actually thought it looked quite a bit like the Thuma bed, which we may get someday, but wasn’t in the budget when we were shopping over a year ago. So, looks-wise, this was a big win, especially at just $170.”
Best Wood Bed Frame
Versatile design, easy assembly, affordable price point
Assembly took longer than the instructions suggested
- Colors: Brown
- Sizes: Twin, full, queen, king
- Weight limit: 350 lb.
- Features: Spindled headboard
For anyone still navigating their personal sense of interior design, we recommend choosing a bed frame that will fit a number of different styles. Commerce director Rachel Fletcher thinks this easy-to-assemble bestseller lives up to the hype, saying, “For the price, I truly don’t think the quality can be beat. And the style of the Linda is pretty agnostic—it’s a little midcentury, a little Scandinavian—so much so that I can imagine it fitting into a host of home decor aesthetics, from a cozy cabin to something more minimalist or beachy or boho!”
Best Storage Bed Frame
Spacious underbed storage, minimalist design
The gas-lift can be hard to lift if you have a heavy mattress
- Colors: 6
- Sizes: Full, Queen, King
- Weight limit: 800 lb.
- Features: Gas-lift system
For those who are low on storage space or just want to keep their bedroom as tidy as possible, this AD-approved storage bed deserves a place in your shopping cart. Porter is a fan, from the seamless delivery and assembly to the bed frame’s easy-to-use gas lift system. “I’ve been wanting to try out a bed with an integrated headboard for a while. I saw this one and, for the price, I knew it was well worth giving a go,” he says. “Plus, the massive amount of underbed storage was going to be clutch, and since you have to lift the mattress to get into the storage, I thought it’d keep my cat from digging around down there.”
While Porter notes that he has a heavy mattress, the attached nylon handle—along with the aforementioned gas lift system—helps him hoist it up and rummage below with ease. What’s more, it’s a great pick for a minimalist bedroom. He styles his space with the modern beige version of this storage bed, a rug, and an end table on each side of the mattress. There are 14 options total when it comes to customizing this frame: seven colorways and two upholstery styles. “It looks great as a standalone piece but could also accommodate a bench or low couch at the foot of the bed,” he notes. “I think the best part of the frame is that it takes up a good amount of space without being excessive, allowing for a good variety of bedroom setup options.”
Best Metal Bed Frame
Durable build, spacious under-bed storage
- Colors: Black
- Sizes: Twin, twin XL, full, queen, king, California king
- Weight limit: 1,200 lb.

This best-selling no-frills pick from Linenspa provides a solid metal base for your mattress and nothing else. It’s fitted with steel slat support, and if you don’t like the look of metal, you can fit the base with a bed skirt. Like others on this list, it has a high clearance for more storage opportunities.

Easy assembly, accessible price point
Screws may require tightening over time

We recommend the Golden Gate Beds Wrought Iron bed frame for those who love antique furniture but need a budget-friendly alternative. Available in all five traditional bed sizes, this frame is crafted from powder-coated cast iron, with rounded knob accents for anyone with an affinity for decorative orbs. The durable metal is also rust-resistant, and reviews say that despite its metal frame, creaks and squeaks are minimal. For ultra-thick mattresses, you may find the footbed a tad short, but the 11-inch ground clearance offers plenty of height for storage.
