The bed frame is actually not important, it doesn’t matter what mattress is on it, as long as it is sturdy.

Therefore, it is not cost-effective to spend thousands of dollars to buy a bed frame. You should save where you can and spend where you can. Wouldn’t it be great to use the money saved from the bed frame to buy home appliances?



Therefore, more and more people are not buying "beds". They use the simplest and cheapest method to get a comfortable big bed.

Let’s learn these 9 methods from netizens and see how amazing they are!



01. Steel frame suspended bed

Steel frame suspended beds are very popular now. They are beautiful and environmentally friendly. In the humid south, this

Steel frame

More durable than solid wood.

But after looking at a lot, I found that bed frames cost several thousand dollars.

After thinking about it, isn't this just a few bed legs plus a steel frame, and then a circle of light strips?



So I tried to weld one myself using galvanized steel pipes and made six legs. The bed is 20cm above the ground. The legs are located in the middle and are hidden. The height can also be adjusted.



The master was also very careful in helping with the oval corner processing and sprayed anti-rust paint on the welding joints. In order to facilitate access to the elevator and bedroom door, two rows of screws were made and screwed in the middle.



Just like that, you can get a suspended bed that costs thousands of yuan for others for less than 400 yuan, and it is super sturdy, so it’s a good deal.

Then, you can just install a circle of light strips under the bed, which will create a high-end and atmospheric feeling.



02. Telescopic pull-out bed

The retractable pull-out bed can be switched between a single bed or a double bed.



When folded up for daily use, it is only about 85CM, which does not take up much space and is suitable for one person to sleep on.



It can be opened when needed, and the widest width is 1.5 meters, which is enough for two people to sleep.



Of course, you can also pull out only a part of the width and use it as a stool beside the bed, and you can also put some books and sundries on the edge.



Another type is a pull-out bunk bed, which is very friendly for small apartments where the room is not big enough, such as when a baby sleeps in a separate bed, or when the elderly or friends come to stay with you. The bed can be pulled out when in use and pushed in when not in use.





03. Folding bed

If you don’t have any extra room for relatives and friends to stay, but you are worried that they will stay overnight, you can prepare a folding bed that takes up less than 1 square meter.

When not in use, fold the bed and put it aside. There are universal wheels installed at the bottom, so it can be moved smoothly. Just open it when needed.



Another type is a folding bed with a mattress as shown in the picture below, which is particularly suitable for placing in the study.

The price is about 200 yuan. It doesn’t take up much space when not in use and it is also very comfortable to sleep on.





If you are renting a house, if the room is large, you can put two beds together to make a big bed.



The two bed frames buckle together, and the bed frames and mattresses can be folded and stored when not in use.



It can be used as a bed when spread out, and it can also be used as a tatami sofa when folded up. It is very convenient.





04. Platform bed

Nowadays, many people like to make platform beds. You can easily get on the platform just by lifting your feet lightly. This kind of bed will give people a very open feeling and a good sense of relaxation.



For those who like platform beds, there is a simple idea. If you have children, you can buy two and use them together, and then put a mattress on top. When the baby grows up, you can separate one bed for the child to use, so you don’t have to buy another bed.





Some netizens use wooden pallets from logistics companies as platform, which are cheap and sturdy. You can build them into any size you want, so you can make a big bed on them.



05. Slatted bed

As long as you sleep comfortably, a slatted frame + mattress will be fine.





If you want to be more comfortable, you can add a bed backrest. The mattress will not move and it will be soft and comfortable to sleep on.





The price is cheap, 1.5×2 meters is only over 200 yuan.

There are several heights of slat frames. Choose 10 cm, which is just the right height for the mattress.

Some netizens looked down on this at first, thinking it was ugly, until one day when they were visiting the decoration site upstairs and saw the slatted frame bed upstairs, they decided to do the same.



So I spent more than 200 yuan to buy materials and asked workers to make the beds on site. In total, I only spent 680 yuan to own two beds. They are not inferior in appearance at all and are more sturdy and stable than the ones I bought. I feel like I made a great deal.





06. Logistics pallet bed

A great way to save money is to put six logistics pads together to make a bed, which only costs more than 100 yuan in total, which is much lower than the price of bed frames on the market.

Put it together and it's surprisingly practical, breathable, odorless, and down-to-earth. You don't have to worry about jumping on the bed.



The logistics pad is 5cm high and is equipped with a thicker mattress, which can be said to be the most cost-effective approach.

It is a little short, a bit like a platform bed, and it is quite comfortable to sleep on.



07. Floor

When I was a kid, my favorite thing was sleeping on the floor. There was really nothing wrong with it.

A piece of 50D high-density sponge, covered with a bed sheet, feels very spacious when sleeping.



Occasionally, when friends and relatives come to stay for a short time and there are not enough beds, the children can experience the fun of sleeping on the floor, which is down-to-earth and comfortable.



Or you can customize a Japanese tatami floor mat, which connects seamlessly with the low mattress, allowing you to roll around on the bed at will.



08. Air mattress

If you want to accommodate guests in a small apartment, an air mattress is also a good choice.

This kind of air mattress is very flexible. You can put it at home and use it as a bed by putting on a mattress cover. It looks quite real.



It can also be used as camping equipment when you go out.



You can even bring it with you when traveling as a family. You don’t have to sleep with your baby in a hotel, and you don’t have to worry about the baby rolling under the bed.



This air mattress can be inflated in just a few minutes. Once fully inflated, it provides decent support and doesn’t take up any space when folded up when not in use.



09. Sofa bed

Small apartments really don’t have much extra room, so you can consider using a sofa bed as the living room sofa. Although it is a helpless move, it is still a good choice.



Even if there is no one living there, it would be nice to turn the sofa into a bed, lie down together at night, turn on the air conditioner, and watch a movie.



Or you can put a sofa bed in the study as a temporary resting area. When you are tired, you can lie down and read a book or take a nap. When guests come, let them sleep on the sofa. This not only saves space but also allows you to easily deal with different situations.
