Metal King Size Bed Frames

About our king-sized metal bed frames

Our range of king sized metal bed frames are available in a range of models, from simple straight designs to ornate traditional designs. Each king metal bed is painted in a durable powder coated finish.

Our standard colours are white, ivory/cream and black. We also have metallic finishes, pewter and silver.

Finally we also offer a colour matching service where we can colour match your king iron bed to any major UK paint supplier. Each king-sized metal bed has a warranty of 5 years.

Dimensions and space requirements for metal king size bed frames

A UK king-size mattress measures 150cm x 200cm (5'0" x 6'6"). Our king metal bed frames are built to take a standard UK king mattress from any supplier, though the external dimensions of the frame will vary slightly depending on the model and the headboard or footboard style you choose.

Before ordering, measure your room and allow enough clearance to move around the bed comfortably. As a guide, aim for at least 60cm of walking space on each side you need to access, and account for any other bedroom furniture such as wardrobes, chests of drawers or bedside tables.

If space is tight, a low footend design keeps the foot of the bed open and helps the room feel less enclosed. Every frame can also be made to a custom size if a standard king doesn't quite fit your room.

Strength and weight capacity of our metal bed frames

We use thicker tubing rather than centre support legs, which removes the parts that typically work loose over time and leaves the space beneath the bed clear for storage.

Our king-size metal frames hold up to 500kg (78 stone), including mattress and occupants, and some reinforced models hold more. Frames are tested to British standards but are designed to withstand considerably more than that.

The powder-coated finish resists chipping and rusting, so a metal frame keeps its appearance as well as its structure. Each king-sized metal bed comes with a five-year warranty, and we continue to support our beds well beyond that period.

Traditional or modern? Find your style

Whether you like vintage charm or sleek modern lines, our king metal beds cover both ends of the design spectrum. Choose a minimalist black frame for a clean, modern look or a white or ivory frame for a timeless touch of elegance in your room.

Our traditional options have scrollwork and castings like period interiors. Our modern frames have clean geometry, slim lines and subtle elegance. Whatever your style, there's a frame to match your room's character.

Statement headboards and footboards

Our headboards and footboards are designed to add style to your bed with elegant arches and straight lines. Low footend options give an open, airy feel, perfect for smaller rooms or a minimalist look.

Statement headboards are a visual anchor for your bed, drawing the eye and setting the tone for the room. Whether you like simple or decorative, our beds have headboard heights and footend styles to suit your taste.

Designs for every interior

Our king metal bed frames fit with many décor schemes, from rustic and industrial to romantic or coastal themes. You can also colour match your bed to your interior with our colour matching service.

For an industrial look, try black or pewter with straight lines. For a softer look, ivory or cream-painted frames with curves add charm and warmth. Metallics like silver or custom colours tie the metal frame in with accent pieces and artwork for a cohesive feel.

Why a king-size bed is perfect for taller sleepers

A king-size bed has extra length and width so perfect for taller people or couples who need a bit more room to stretch out. You can easily sleep soundly without feeling cramped.

At 200cm (6'6”) long, king beds have plenty of room for long limbs, reducing disturbances during the night and improving sleep quality. If you find yourself at the edge of a standard double bed then upgrading to king size will make a big difference.

Make the most of your space with under-bed storage

Maximise your bedroom with our under-bed storage options. Whether it's built-in drawers or space for boxes you'll have room to store seasonal clothes, bedding or other items without losing floor space.

Our under-bed drawers are smooth-gliding and match the style of your frame for discreet yet accessible storage. If you have a smaller room, under-bed storage can be a game-changer for staying organised.

Other metal bed sizes

We also sell metal bed frames of other sizes:

FAQs

Do you have king-size metal bed frames with mattresses?

You can buy a king metal bed with a mattress as part of our special offer, and get £100 off the total price when you buy both together. A great way to save while upgrading your whole sleep setup.

What are the exact dimensions of a king size metal bed?

A UK king size bed takes a mattress measuring 150cm x 200cm (5'0" x 6'6"). The frame's external dimensions will be slightly larger depending on the model and headboard style. A super king is wider at 180cm x 200cm (6'0" x 6'6"), so it offers an extra 30cm of width across the same length. For most UK master bedrooms the king is the more practical choice, giving two adults comfortable space without dominating the room.

How do I know if a king size metal bed frame will fit my bedroom?

Measure the full length and width of your room before ordering, then subtract the space the bed will occupy. As a rule of thumb, allow at least 60cm of clearance on each side you need to walk down, and remember to account for doors and drawers that need to open. Factor in any other bedroom furniture too, since a king frame in a smaller room can leave little space for a wardrobe or chest of drawers. If you're borderline, a low footend model helps the room feel more open, and we can make any frame to a custom size.

What makes metal bed frames more durable than other materials?

A metal frame doesn't warp, split or loosen at the joints the way timber can over years of use. We use thicker tubing instead of centre support legs, so there are fewer components to work loose and no mid-frame supports to give way. Each frame is powder coated, which protects the surface against chipping and rust, and is tested to British standards while being built to withstand far more. That construction is why our metal beds carry a five year warranty and why we're able to support them long after that.

How much weight can a king-size metal bed frame hold?

Our king-size metal bed frames are strong and supportive, holding up to 500kg (78 stone) including mattress and occupants. Some reinforced models may hold more, so please check specific product listings for details.

Sprung slats or solid slats?

Sprung slats have a slight curve for some give, for comfort and mattress life. Solid slats provide firmer support and are ideal if you prefer a sturdier sleeping surface. Sprung slats are generally better for softer mattresses, and solid slats are for more support.

Is a king-size metal bed right for my room?

If your room has enough space a king-size bed is more comfortable, especially for couples or taller people. Make sure to measure your room, including walking space and other furniture before choosing a king-size frame. As a rule of thumb you should have at least 60cm of clearance around each side.
