I’ve talked about this before, but the things you surround yourself with have a profound impact on your day-to-day. And that goes double for what should be the most serene space in your home: the bedroom.
Sure, I may have once been the college kid who slept on a mattress directly on the floor. But as adulthood has set in, a nice bamboo bed frame made more sense for my sleeping space — in more than a few ways.
If you’ve gotten used to sleeping in a lower-sitting bed, you may not realize the comfort you’re sacrificing having to half fall into your mattress and then climbing out again come morning.
Having a nice headboard is a sure sign of adulthood as well. Your friends and family might not judge the bare bedroom walls to your face, but there’s a certain sense of smug superiority that comes with having a decorative beginning and end to your bed that I promise is worth every penny!
Jokes aside, a bamboo bed frame is the perfect way to improve your nighttime nest in a beautiful and sustainable way. And those things are important in my life, so I set out to find the best of the bed frame world.
In this article, I’ll go over a few of my best finds, and hopefully give you some ideas of what you might want in a bamboo bed frame of your own.
If you find the perfect bed frame and are ready to give the rest of your sleeping gear an overhaul, don’t forget to check out our articles covering the best bamboo mattresses, bamboo sheets, and bamboo blankets!

Bamboo Currant Bamboo Platform Bed
Alright, we’re going to do things a little differently than usual since all the bed frames do an excellent job holding mattresses. I can’t say one is objectively better than the rest.
For all my perfectionists out there though, I’m going to take it from the top as usual with my personal favorite. So let’s all say hail to the king!
Er, California King, rather.
The Greenington Bamboo Currant Platform Bed does come as either a California King or Queen size, depending on how much mattress real estate you’re working with. But the main focus here is really the look.
Beautiful and simple, the bright amber of the bamboo will stand out in any color scheme. With a stylish, slatted headboard and delicate but sturdy legs to give this platform bed frame a subtle elegance.
The soft finish and rounded corners are perfect for a bedroom set. Even the hardwood looks comfortable and inviting, making the overall feel even more appealing.
As somebody on the taller side, I have a personal appreciation for the platform style. A headboard is great, but having the footboard can feel a little limiting when your legs go just a bit past the end of the mattress. And with the Bamboo Currant Platform Bed, you can stretch with confidence!
