My Personal Experience With Measuring A Bed Frame

When I moved into my new apartment, I was excited to finally have my own bedroom. However, I quickly realized that my bed frame from my previous apartment was too big for my new space. I needed to measure my bed frame to find a new one that would fit, but I had no idea where to start.

How To Measure A Bed Frame

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Remove any bedding or accessories from your bed frame.

2. Measure the width of your bed frame from one side to the other. Be sure to measure at the widest point, including any curves or angles.

3. Measure the length of your bed frame from the headboard to the footboard. Again, measure at the longest point, including any curves or angles.

4. Measure the height of your bed frame from the floor to the top of the frame.

5. Write down your measurements and keep them handy for reference when shopping for a new bed frame.
