Modern Bed Frames & Adjustable Bases for Perfect Positioning

A platform bed frame, like the Malouf Watson or Eastman styles, is a fixed, flat-surface frame designed to support a mattress without a separate box spring, while an adjustable base, like the Malouf S655 or M455 Charcoal models, uses a motorized frame that lets you raise the head or foot of the bed for reading, watching TV, or improved circulation.

Most memory foam, latex, and hybrid mattresses are flexible enough to work with an adjustable base, but traditional innerspring mattresses with rigid coil systems generally aren’t compatible since they can’t bend at the joints the way an adjustable frame requires.

These are different tiers within Malouf’s adjustable base lineup, generally increasing in features and price from the E455 up through the S755, with higher-tier models typically offering more massage, positioning, and remote-control options, so the right choice depends on your budget and desired features.

A bunkie board is a thin, rigid support panel used in place of slats when a frame or platform doesn’t provide enough surface support for a mattress; several Malouf frames, like the Thin Deck Upholstered style, are designed to work with a mattress directly, so check your specific frame’s slat spacing before assuming you need one.

A bed rail, like the Furniture of America Framos Steel Hook-In or Bolt-On styles, is a side support piece that typically attaches to an existing headboard and footboard, a bed frame is the full structure supporting the mattress, and a foundation is the flat or slatted base the mattress rests on.

A pop-up trundle, like the Furniture of America Framos 39″ style, is a secondary bed frame that rolls out from underneath a main bed frame and rises to mattress height, making it a practical option for guest sleeping or maximizing space in a kids’ or shared bedroom.

Adjustable bases in our collection range from twin/full combination sizing, like the Malouf Twin/Full Adjustable Bed Frame, up to king and California king sizing in the higher-tier S655 and S755 models, so it’s worth confirming your mattress size matches the base before ordering.

Remote-controlled adjustable frames, like the Furniture of America Framos Remote Controlled model, are generally designed for straightforward home assembly, though larger motorized bases with more features may benefit from an extra set of hands during setup given their weight and electronic components.

A rollaway bed, like the Furniture of America Framos Frame Rollaway style, is a compact, foldable frame with a mattress built in and wheels for easy mobility and storage, while a standard bed frame is a fixed structure meant to stay in place as a permanent bedroom fixture.
