High Bed Frame vs Standard Bed 

If you've ever compared the two side by side, the difference is pretty clear.

A standard bed frame usually sits quite low to the floor, neat and minimal, but not the most practical when it comes to storage or ease of use. 

High bed frames lift the sleeping surface by quite a bit, giving the whole setup more of a presence in the room. But it’s not just about looks. That extra elevation means you’ve got room to work with underneath, whether that’s open space for airflow or built-in storage to keep your bedroom tidy.

With high beds, you’re not just getting a frame, you’re getting functionality. It’s ideal for anyone who wants more storage but doesn’t want bulky furniture filling up the room.

FAQ

How high is a typical bed base?

Most regular bed frames are around 30 to 40cm high,  that’s just the frame, not the mattress.

A high bed base usually starts at 50cm and can go all the way up to 70cm or more.

Sounds like a small jump, but it makes a big difference when you’re getting in and out of bed or just changing the sheets.

What’s the ideal height for a bed frame?

That depends on you. Some people like a lower bed, closer to the floor. Others want a higher frame, easier to sit on, and easier to get up from.

The general sweet spot is around 60cm (with the mattress on). If your feet touch the floor when you sit on the edge, you’re probably at the right height.

Do high bed frames come with storage?

A lot of them do, yeah. High bed frames often have space underneath where you can store bags, boxes, or even a pull-out drawer system.

Some even come with built-in ottoman-style lifts, so the whole mattress lifts up to reveal storage underneath. Super handy if you're short on space.

Is a high bed base good for older adults?

It can be. A raised bed base makes it easier to get in and out without bending too much, no crouching or straining your knees. For anyone with mobility concerns, this height can really help. Just make sure the mattress isn’t too soft, or it’ll sink too much.

Can a high bed frame work in a small room?

Actually, yes. You might think a taller bed would make the room feel crowded, but it’s often the opposite.

The extra height can make the space feel more open, and if you use the storage underneath, you can get rid of bulky dressers or clutter. Just be sure to leave enough ceiling clearance.

Will any mattress fit a high bed frame?

As long as it’s the same size, king, double, super king, etc., most mattresses will work.

Just keep in mind that adding a thick mattress to an already tall frame will raise the total height quite a bit.

If you’re on the shorter side, you might want to go with a low- to mid-profile mattress.
