National Bed Month: Shackletons’ Five Fabulous Bed Frames

National Bed Month is all about encouraging people to take a second look at their bedroom furniture. Here at Shackletons, we believe a well-chosen bed frame can set the tone for your entire sleeping area. After all, the bed frame is often the first thing that catches your eye when you walk in, so it’s worth making it a standout feature.

Think of National Bed Month as a little nudge to upgrade your bedroom. Perhaps your current setup feels a bit stale, or maybe you’ve been eyeing a new design. Whatever the reason, this is the perfect moment to consider a fresh frame that can bring extra character to your room. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach—some might prefer classic wooden styles, while others crave a more modern look. The aim is to choose a frame that meshes with your tastes and complements the rest of your home.

At Shackletons, we’ve put together five of our favourite bed frames that we feel capture different styles, materials, and finishes. Each one brings its own twist to interior décor, whether you’re a fan of painted surfaces, natural wood, or a touch of textile detailing. We hope this roundup will inspire you to have fun exploring new options during National Bed Month, or any time you feel like shaking up your bedroom’s design.

Five Recommended Bed Frames

1. Laura Ashley Clifton 4ft 6 Bedframe in Dove Grey

If you’re drawn to gentle, calming tones, the Laura Ashley Clifton Bedframe in Dove Grey is a lovely option. The painted finish adds a light, airy touch that can make a bedroom feel more open. Thanks to its subtle design details, it pairs nicely with soft furnishings and works in rooms where you want a relaxed vibe. Because it’s not overly ornate, this frame can adapt to different design changes over time, giving you the freedom to switch up bedding and accessories without clashing.

2. Foxington 135cm Double Bed – Natural Oak

For fans of woodgrain finishes, the Foxington Double Bed in Natural Oak might be the perfect pick. Oak has a certain warmth that can suit both laid-back and traditional décor. This frame’s clean lines ensure it doesn’t feel fussy, letting the grain itself be the main attraction. If you like a balance of sturdiness and tasteful style, this piece ticks both boxes. It can also work nicely in rooms where you mix and match modern touches with rustic accents.

3. Tetrad Eriskay Double Bed Frame in Bracken Herringbone Fabric

Sometimes a dash of texture is exactly what a bedroom needs. The Tetrad Eriskay Double Bed Frame in Bracken Herringbone Fabric adds subtle patterning without overpowering your space. The herringbone design hints at a classic heritage look, which can be especially appealing for those who enjoy a bit of country-inspired décor. It’s also a straightforward way to include some visual interest if you prefer muted colour schemes but still want a little flair in your furnishings.

4. Kettle Parker 5’0 Bed with Fabric Headboard and Drawer Footboard

For anyone who loves furniture that looks good while staying practical, the Kettle Parker 5’0 Bed offers both. Its fabric headboard creates a softer backdrop for decorative cushions, and the drawer footboard is handy if you like to keep your bedroom clutter-free. Tucking away extra blankets or bits and bobs in that hidden space can help maintain a clean aesthetic. This bed frame tends to be a go-to for those who want functional pieces that still complement the overall design of their room.

5. Bali 150cm Bedstead

The Bali 150cm Bedstead stands out for its distinctive silhouette, making it a talking point for guests who admire unique furniture. It blends seamlessly with a variety of décor styles, whether you lean towards minimalistic layouts or bolder colour combinations. The craftsmanship ensures it can handle everyday use while still adding that bit of flair you might be craving. If you’d like a frame that catches the eye but remains adaptable, this could be an ideal choice.

 

We see National Bed Month as a great prompt to give your bedroom a mini makeover. Sometimes all it takes is a new bed frame to shift the mood in the space, opening up fresh possibilities for how you style everything else. Each of our five picks brings a different vibe to the table, from the gentle sophistication of Dove Grey paint to the timeless appeal of oak grain or the charm of a fabric headboard.
