In the affordable price range, you'll typically find options for single bed frame, king single, double, queen bed frame and king size bed frames and bases. Super king sizes are less common and more expensive.
Depending what size you’re shopping for, prices for high quality but budget-friendly bed frames and mattress bases can range from around $300 for the most basic single size or kids beds to $1,000 for larger sizes and models with additional features.
When you buy from Appliances Online there’s no extra delivery fee on top of the cost of your new bed, because we offer free delivery* to 95% of Australians. To fit with your household budgeting, you can also choose to pay in instalments using Afterpay or other platforms.
The most budget-friendly options are typically slatted bed bases or platform storage bases. Slatted bases use wooden or metal slats to provide air circulation under the mattress. Platform bases have a solid surface and may incorporate drawers underneath.
Wood like pine and particleboard are very common in this price bracket, often with laminate wood-look veneers or a fabric bed frame covering. Powder-coated steel and aluminium frames are also durable yet affordable options. Solid wood frames and bases tend to be pricier.
Budget bed frames will often comprise just the side rails and slats/platform deck. Headboards and footboards may be optional add-ons that increase the cost, though a basic shape can add style while keeping expenses down.
Some affordable platform beds, like Sealy’s Spacesaver storage beds, have slide-out drawers built into the frame to maximise under-bed storage space. This can eliminate the need for under-bed storage bins and reduce the need for additional bedroom furniture like dressers and chests of drawers. You are unlikely, however, to find trundle beds (which sometimes also feature drawers within the rollaway trundle bed) in this lower price range.
With proper care (tell the kids to stop jumping on the bed!), a well-constructed budget bed base should last you for at least 5-10 years. Look for extended manufacturer warranties as a quality benchmark and you’ll be enjoying a great night’s rest on your bed frame for many years to come.
