A queen bed frame is so much more than just a place to put your mattress. It's the very foundation of your bedroom, striking that perfect balance between spacious comfort and a size that actually fits your life. It’s the go-to choice for couples who like their space and for solo sleepers who love to stretch out, offering a luxury feel without dominating the room.
Why the Queen Bed Frame Is Australia's Favourite
It’s easy to see why the queen bed frame has become the undisputed hero of Australian bedrooms. It just works. It delivers generous comfort for two while still fitting neatly into the modern homes we live in, from roomy Melbourne houses to chic Sydney apartments. Getting the frame right is the first step in creating a sanctuary that feels both luxurious and genuinely yours.
The numbers don't lie. As of 2024, a staggering 59% of Australians sleep on a queen size mattress, cementing its place as the nation's favourite. An Australian queen mattress measures 153 cm wide by 203 cm long, giving couples plenty of room without dominating a standard 3.0m x 4.0m bedroom. If you want to get into the nitty-gritty, we break it all down in our complete guide to queen size mattress dimensions.
Achieving Luxury for Less
You don’t need a massive budget or to shop at premium retailers like Nick Scali or Koala Living to create a high-end, designer bedroom. That sophisticated look is far more accessible than most people think.
By choosing smart, you can find a queen bed frame that offers the same incredible style and durable quality as competitors like Snooze, but without the hefty price tag. It’s all about focusing on great materials and timeless design that will truly elevate your space.
Your bed is the single most important piece of furniture in your bedroom. It sets the tone for the entire room's style, comfort, and functionality. Making a smart choice here is an investment in both your home's appeal and your daily well-being.
At DLB Furniture, we make luxury affordable. Our handpicked collection of luxury furniture Sydney loves features everything from plush velvet upholstery to classic timber frames, each one designed to bring your vision to life. You can browse our range online or visit our Bankstown showroom to see the quality for yourself. We offer easy delivery across Greater Sydney, making it simple to get the bedroom you’ve always wanted.
Find a Bed Frame That Matches Your Style
Think of your queen bed frame as the true anchor of your bedroom. It’s the largest piece of furniture and naturally draws the eye, setting the visual tone for the entire space. The right frame should feel like an extension of your personality, whether that's the clean lines of modern minimalism or the cosy opulence of plush velvet.
You don’t need a premium price tag from retailers like Nick Scali or Koala Living to create a high-end feel. It’s all about choosing the right materials. A frame with brushed gold steel legs can introduce an industrial-chic edge, while elegant sintered stone details offer a cool, contemporary look. If you’re after pure comfort and warmth, you just can’t beat the soft, inviting texture of velvet upholstery.
Creating a Cohesive Bedroom Design
A stunning bedroom is more than just a great bed; it’s about how all the pieces work together. When you coordinate your new queen bed frame with complementary furniture, you create a space that feels thoughtful, intentional, and beautifully put together.
Here are a couple of ideas to get you started:
- Modern Harmony: Pair a sintered stone or brushed gold steel bed frame with our sleek, handleless modern wardrobes. Add one of the minimalist TV units Bankstown locals love, and you’ll have a clean, uncluttered aesthetic that feels fresh and current.
- Luxe Comfort: A sumptuous velvet upholstered bed is the perfect starting point for a glamorous retreat. Match it with a mirrored wardrobe or a sintered stone coffee table with gold accents to amplify the luxurious feel.
The secret to a designer-look bedroom is consistency. When your furniture shares a common material, colour palette, or design element, you create a harmonious flow that ties the whole room together beautifully.
Finding your perfect style is all part of the fun. For more inspiration on getting that high-end look without the hefty price tag, check out our guide on 12 luxury bedroom styling ideas for 2025 on a budget.

Choosing the Right Bed Frame Material
The material of your queen bed frame does more than just look good—it sets the tone for your entire bedroom and speaks volumes about its durability and comfort. Getting this choice right is the key to a smart, long-lasting investment. It’s how you get that high-end look you’ve seen at places like Snooze or Focus on Furniture, but without the hefty price tag.
This quick visual guide will help you see how different materials vibe with popular interior design styles, making it easier to match a frame to your unique taste.
As you can see, materials like stone and metal are a perfect fit for modern and industrial themes. On the flip side, plush fabrics like velvet immediately create a sense of classic luxury.
Timeless Timber and Modern Metals
There’s a reason so many of us are drawn to the natural beauty of solid timber—it’s classic for a reason. Frames crafted from materials like Tasmanian oak bring a real warmth and sturdiness into a room that simply never goes out of fashion. For a more budget-friendly option, high-quality MDF offers a similar stylish look, making great design accessible to everyone.
If you’re leaning towards a more contemporary feel, metals like brushed gold steel are a fantastic choice. These frames are celebrated for their sharp, clean lines and incredible durability, and they pair beautifully with our modern TV units and wardrobes for a polished, cohesive look.
The Allure of Upholstery
Nothing says "cosy sanctuary" quite like an upholstered bed frame. Soft, textured fabrics instantly make a bedroom feel more inviting. Velvet, in particular, is a game-changer; it adds a layer of opulence and comfort that completely elevates a space. It’s the kind of signature look you’d expect to find in high-end stores like Koala Living, but we believe in making that touch of luxury affordable.
Choosing an upholstered bed is about more than just looks; it's about creating a tactile, comforting environment that encourages relaxation and rest.
If you’re captivated by the soft elegance of an upholstered frame, it’s worth knowing what makes each fabric unique. To dive a little deeper, check out our guide on the difference between velvet and other common fabrics.
Here’s a quick comparison to help you weigh your options at a glance:
Queen Bed Frame Material Comparison
| Material | Key Benefit | Best For | Price Point |
|---|---|---|---|
| Solid Timber (e.g. Tasmanian Oak) | Natural beauty & unmatched durability | Classic, rustic, or Scandinavian styles | Mid to High |
| MDF (Engineered Wood) | Cost-effective & versatile designs | Budget-conscious modern & minimalist rooms | Low to Mid |
| Metal (e.g. Brushed Gold Steel) | Sleek, minimalist & highly durable | Industrial, contemporary, and modern bedrooms | Mid |
| Upholstered (e.g., Velvet) | Softness, comfort & luxurious texture | Glam, traditional, or cosy-chic aesthetics | Mid to High |
Ultimately, the right material comes down to your personal style, your lifestyle, and how you want your bedroom to feel.

Smart Features for Modern Living
A great queen bed frame should do more than just hold up your mattress—it should actively solve problems and make your life easier. In modern homes, especially in places like Sydney where every square metre counts, smart design is everything. This is where a bed frame can become the unsung hero of your bedroom.
Instead of just being a place to sleep, a thoughtfully chosen frame can double as a serious storage powerhouse. This kind of clever integration is the key to maintaining a calm, uncluttered bedroom without sacrificing precious floor space.
Integrated Storage Solutions
If you’re working with a smaller room, a queen bed frame with built-in storage is one of the best smart storage solutions for small spaces you can find. It’s all about unlocking the hidden potential of that empty space under your bed. We have a couple of brilliant ways to do just that:
- Gas-Lift Mechanisms: With one easy lift, the entire mattress base rises to reveal a huge, hidden compartment. It’s the perfect spot for stashing bulky items like spare duvets, seasonal clothes, or suitcases.
- Built-in Drawers: These are a game-changer. Smooth-gliding drawers built right into the base give you easy-to-reach storage for everyday items, keeping everything organised and out of sight.
Opting for these features means you might not even need that extra chest of drawers or wardrobe, saving you money and space. By choosing a bed that works harder, you're not just buying furniture; you’re investing in a more organised, stress-free home. It’s how we deliver practical luxury that rivals competitors like Amart, but with a real focus on value.
A gas-lift queen bed frame can add the equivalent of a large cupboard's worth of storage to your room, all without taking up any extra floor space.
Curious about how these mechanisms work and which style is right for you? Dive into our in-depth guide to gas-lift queen bed frames.
And remember, once you’ve found the perfect frame, our seamless delivery service across Greater Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, and Brisbane makes the whole process a breeze.
How to Make a Smart Investment in Your Sleep
Choosing a new queen bed frame is so much more than a simple purchase. Think of it as a long-term investment in your comfort, your wellbeing, and the overall feel of your home. When you opt for durable materials and a timeless design, you’re not just buying furniture; you're choosing a centrepiece that will serve you well for years to come.
It's a decision many Australians are making. The local mattress and bed frame market was valued at a huge AUD 1.365 billion in 2024, and queen-sized models dominate, making up a massive 38.5% of the total market share. While prices can vary from AUD 800 to several thousand dollars, the real value isn't just on the price tag. It’s about choosing a piece that lasts and enhances your home. In fact, a quality bed frame is one of the smart upgrades that add value to your home.
Protecting Your Investment
Keeping your new bed frame looking its best is actually quite simple. A little bit of regular care goes a long way in preserving its beauty for years.
Here are a few quick tips depending on the material:
- For Timber Frames: A soft, damp cloth is your best friend. Steer clear of harsh chemical cleaners, as they can strip the finish. Every few months, a good quality furniture polish will bring back that beautiful natural lustre.
- For Upholstered Frames: Regularly vacuum using an upholstery attachment to keep dust at bay. For spills on velvet, gently blot the spot with a dry, clean cloth—never rub!
- For Metal Frames: It doesn't get much easier than this. A quick wipe-down with a damp cloth is usually all it takes to keep materials like brushed gold steel looking sharp.
A great bed frame is the foundation of a great night's sleep. By pairing it with the right support, you're not just investing in furniture but in your overall health and rest.
Of course, the frame is only one part of the sleep puzzle. Your mattress is just as important. For some expert advice on finding that perfect partnership, take a look at our guide on how to choose the right mattress for a good night's sleep.

Your Queen Bed Frame Questions Answered
Choosing a new bed frame often brings up a few questions. To help you feel completely confident in your decision, we’ve put together answers to some of the queries we hear most often from our customers.
Do Queen Sheets Fit a Full-Size Bed?
It's a common question, but unfortunately, they don't fit well. A queen mattress is both wider and longer than a full (or double) bed, so queen sheets will end up looking loose and baggy. For that perfect, snug fit, you always want to match your sheet size directly to your mattress.
This same logic applies to your frame. Placing a full mattress on a queen frame leaves awkward, unsafe gaps and offers terrible support. And a queen mattress simply won't fit on a full frame at all.
Is a Queen Bed Frame Big Enough for Two People?
Absolutely. A standard queen bed gives each person about 76 cm of space, which is more than enough room for most couples to sleep soundly without feeling cramped. It’s this perfect balance of comfort and a reasonable footprint that makes it Australia’s favourite bed size.
How Much Assembly is Required?
Most of our queen bed frames do require some simple assembly. We design them this way so they can be delivered to your home easily, but don't worry—every frame comes with clear, step-by-step instructions and all the hardware you'll need. We've made the process as straightforward as possible.
If you're in Greater Sydney and would rather not lift a finger, we also offer a professional assembly service for a completely seamless experience.
Your bedroom should be a place of rest, not stress. We're here to help with everything from choosing the right luxury furniture in Sydney to delivery and assembly, ensuring a smooth journey from our showroom to your home.
The way we buy furniture is always changing. Online shopping has become a huge part of the bed frame market, and this trend is only growing. In 2025, online sales are expected to jump by 8.2% annually, growing faster than traditional stores. In fact, the entire bedroom furniture market in Australia is forecast to bring in AUD 1.71 billion in revenue in 2025. You can explore more about these market trends to see where the industry is heading.
We hope this helps clear things up! If you have more questions, please pop into our Bankstown showroom or browse our collections of affordable bed frames, mattresses, and modern wardrobes online.
