A bed frame or bedstead is the part of a bed used to position the mattress and base off the floor. Bed frames are typically made of wood or metal. A bed frame is made up of head, foot, and side rails. Most double (full) sized beds, along with all queen and king size beds require some type of center support rail, typically also with extra feet extending down to the floor. The term bed frame was first used between 1805-1815.

Famous quotes containing the words bed and/or frame:
“In bed one may behave like husband and wife; but out of bed one should observe the proprieties.”
—Chinese proverb.
“A cold and searching wind drives away all contagion, and nothing can withstand it but what has a virtue in it, and accordingly, whatever we meet with in cold and bleak places, as the tops of mountains, we respect for a sort of sturdy innocence, a Puritan toughness. All things beside seem to be called in for shelter, and what stays out must be part of the original frame of the universe, and of such valor as God himself.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
