How Long Should My Bed Frame Last?
A bed frame is arguably the most important component of any bedroom. Your bed frame is not just a base to hold up a mattress but the centerpiece of your room. The shape and structure of your bed frame set the tone for any bedroom. Being such an integral part of any room, it is only normal to wonder "how long should a new bed frame last?" We are very frequently asked this question by customers, and our goal in this post is to tell you about a few need-to-know factors when purchasing a new frame.
How long should my bed frame last?
Material Used & Build Quality
The materials used in the build of your new frame directly correlate with its life span. To put it simply, bad materials will not last as long as premium, quality materials. Frames are more often than not made using high-end and extremely durable materials like hardwood and metal. These materials are much more likely to last a lot longer than frames that have been put together using cheaper materials like plywood board or lower-quality cuts of metal. As a rough estimate, a well-crafted wooden frame can last you upwards of 20 years, while a metal bed frame should last at least 10 if given the correct maintenance and care.Bed Usage & How Many Users
Overusing the bed: Another huge factor that will affect the lifespan of a bed frame is the frequency and intensity of its usage. If, like many people, you spend more time in bed than just sleeping at night, it will obviously bring down the expected life expectancy and increase the likelihood of overall wear and tear.Adding more weight: Putting on a large amount of additional weight onto your frame, either through weight gain or additional bed users like a partner, pet, or child, can cause extra stress on the frame's structure. Your bed frame is, therefore, more likely to wear out than a frame that is used less often by fewer users.
Children! Jumping or bouncing on the bed will shorten its lifespan and increase the likelihood of breaks. To make the most out of your new frame, it is pivotal to use it properly and avoid putting any extra stress on it.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance is crucial for keeping your frame in good condition. Steps include regular cleaning of components, tightening of loose screws and fixings, and cleaning up any liquids spilled on the frame. If you do notice any problems, wear, or damage to the frame, it is always best to address the issue early so that it doesn't become an even bigger problem.In Conclusion
There is no absolute or correct answer to "how long should my bed frame last?" Similar to a new car, it all very much depends on how you utilize your bed and what materials you are willing to spend the extra money on when purchasing a new frame.The Bed Post has an excellent range of bed frames, ottomans, and divan sets available for delivery across Kent, London, Surrey, and the South East
