Antique bed frames are good investment for the future. Two materials, of which the bed frame is made of, are wood and iron. People's preferences are different, some want a warm feeling, which is offered by wood, and some prefer royality, which is provided by iron.
It is very difficult nowadays to find a decent wooden frame which is also well preserved. There is also a strong possibility that the wooden frame is a pretty expensive piece of antique furniture. If you are looking for bed frames, it is easier to find a frame made of iron, because iron is more durable.
Antique bed frames generally cost quite a lot, so be prepared to pay more than you pay for modern bed frames, which are quite cheap. However, buying a bed frame is a lot cheaper than buying the entire bed, but the visual outcome could be the same. Bed frame needs a decent new mattress, but we do not see that mattress, because it is covered with a blanket, so the result does not differ visually from antique beds.
Size is a very important factor as we begin to choose your frame. We have to admit that we have fewer sizes to choose from when we buy antique bed frames. Sizes, that you can choose from, are king, queen, full and twin size. Canopy iron frames can also be found, iron bars that can held a curtain, which makes sleeping more private.
If you've made your choice to buy a classic piece of furniture, then it should also be properly maintained. When you find that you have an iron bed frame then there are some simple tips on how to restore metal beds.
