Upgrade Your Sleep Setup with a Double Bed Base
Double bed bases provide essential support for your mattress, enhancing sleep quality. These platforms fit standard Australian double mattresses (138cm x 188cm) and keep them off the floor for better airflow. A raised bed frame improves ventilation, reducing moisture, dust mites, and odors. A well-made bed base supports your mattress evenly, reducing sagging and increasing durability. Platform beds do not require a box spring due to their solid, low-profile designs.
Our range of double bed frames includes:
-
Metal bed frames with slats
-
Ensemble bases with covers
-
Upholstered options
-
Gas lift options for built-in storage—ideal for storing linen and extra bedding
Each bed frame style offers different benefits, ranging from basic support to complete bedroom furniture solutions with integrated headboards and storage space. Many double bed frames include clever storage features like pull-out drawers or gas lift compartments. For optimal support, a central support beam with legs is crucial to prevent double or larger beds from sagging. When choosing a slatted base, the closeness of slats should ideally be no more than 2.5 inches apart for proper mattress support. Sturdy bed frames made from solid hardwoods or reinforced steel are preferable, and high-quality frames should include a solid warranty of five years or more. Some modern double bed frames also come with built-in USB ports for added convenience.
If you're upgrading your bedroom, browsing the double bed frame collection is a great way to find stylish and practical options that suit any décor.
Choosing the Right Double Bed Frame
Double bed frames are a versatile choice, catering to both individuals and couples, providing extra room without taking up too much space, and are a solid option for solo sleepers or smaller rooms.
Mattress Compatibility
Consider your mattress type when selecting a bed base. Memory foam mattresses work well with solid platforms or tightly spaced slats, while spring mattresses benefit from flexible slat systems. Metal bed frames with slats offer excellent ventilation, which is particularly important in Australia’s warm climate. To ensure compatibility, the bed frame base must match the mattress type being used.
Room Size Considerations
Room size also affects your choice. Low-profile bases are ideal for smaller bedrooms with limited space, while ensemble bases offer complete solutions with matching covers.
Weight Capacity
Check weight capacity—quality-based support 250kg or more for long-term durability, making them suitable for two adults who need a sturdy piece of furniture. Double beds can easily accommodate two adults, but couples who prefer a little more space may consider a queen bed, which is ideal for master bedrooms.
Storage Features
Storage features add practical value, especially in compact living situations. Some storage beds include lift-up sections for bedding storage, while others feature built-in drawers underneath for clothes and personal items. These beds with storage transform your bedroom into a more organised space. For a cohesive look, coordinate your double bed frame with a suite of matching furniture, such as bedside tables, drawers, and shelving. When choosing your double bed frame, you can also check stock availability to ensure your preferred style is ready for delivery. Double beds give extra room to stretch out without taking up the space of a queen or king bed.
Note:
If you’re furnishing a room for a teenager or need a transitional size between a single and a double bed, a king single bed frame is a practical option for smaller rooms or growing kids.
Bed Frame Styles and Materials
When it comes to choosing a double bed frame, the style and material can make all the difference in creating the perfect atmosphere for your bedroom. Double bed frames come in various types including timber, upholstered, metal, platform, and storage styles.

If you’re looking for a touch of luxury, upholstered bed frames offer a soft, inviting look and feel, making your bed the centrepiece of the room. For those who value practicality, gas lift bed frames combine style with clever storage, allowing you to keep your bedroom furniture both beautiful and functional. Whether you prefer a standard double bed frame in a natural wood finish or a bold, modern frame with a unique design, there’s a double bed to suit every taste and room. Consider the overall style of your bedroom and select a frame that complements your existing furniture and decor, helping you create a cohesive and inviting retreat.

Storage and Space-Saving Solutions
Maximizing floor space is essential, especially in smaller bedrooms, guest rooms, or studio apartments. Double bed frames with built-in storage are a smart way to keep your bedroom organized and clutter-free. Storage options include:
-
Gas lift bed frames: Easily lift the mattress to access a spacious compartment underneath—perfect for storing extra linens, blankets, or out-of-season clothing.
-
Bed frames with drawers: Offer convenient storage for everyday essentials, helping you make the most of every inch of your room.
-
Bunk beds: For children’s rooms or shared spaces, bunk beds provide two sleeping areas while freeing up valuable floor space for play or study.
Don’t forget to pair your bed with bedside tables that feature storage, keeping your nighttime necessities close at hand without sacrificing style or space. With the right storage solutions, your double bed can help transform even the smallest bedroom into a tidy, comfortable haven.
Mattress and Bed Base Compatibility
Selecting the right double bed frame means ensuring it’s compatible with your mattress and bed base. A standard double bed frame is designed to fit a standard double mattress, typically measuring around 138cm x 188cm, but bed sizes can vary depending on the manufacturer and style. Always check the exact dimensions of both your mattress and the frame before making a purchase to guarantee a perfect fit and optimal support. Remember, a queen mattress is larger than a double and won’t fit properly in a standard double bed frame, so it’s important to choose the correct size for your needs. Matching your mattress and bed base not only ensures a comfortable night’s sleep but also helps maintain the longevity and support of your bed. To ensure compatibility, the bed frame base must match the mattress type being used. Take the time to confirm compatibility, and you’ll enjoy a restful, supportive sleep every night.
With compatibility ensured, let's explore the quality and variety of double bed frames available at FactoryFast.

For upholstered bed frames, spot clean spills right away and consider using a fabric protector to keep the material looking fresh and stylish. Periodically check your bed frame for any signs of wear or loose fittings to ensure it continues to meet safety standards and provides reliable support. Don’t forget to rotate your mattress regularly to promote even wear and extend its lifespan. With these simple care tips, your double bed will remain a comfortable and attractive centrepiece in your bedroom for years to come.
