Buying a bed frame and mattress together is the simplest way to get a bed that fits, feels right and looks finished. It also saves money: at BEDANDBASICS, buying a mattress with a bed frame and a bedding accessory gets you up to an extra 10% off, plus 20% off the bedding. This guide covers how to pair the two properly, a few combinations that work well, and how to use the bundle codes.
Why buy the bed frame and mattress together?
- Everything fits. You choose both in the same size system, so there are no gaps, overhangs or surprises on delivery day.
- The height is right. You can plan the final bed height (base plus mattress) before you buy.
- One delivery, one assembly. Our team brings and sets up everything in one trip. Orders over $300 get free delivery and assembly.
- You save more. Bundle codes only apply when a mattress and bed frame are in the same order.
5 things to match when pairing a bed frame and mattress
1. The size system
Singapore, Japan and UK sizes differ in width and length, so the mattress and frame must use the same system. A Queen (UK) mattress is 10cm longer than a Queen (SG) frame. See every size in our mattress size guide.
If you choose a Japan-size bed frame, pick a mattress that comes in Japan sizes. Every Nuloft mattress does.
2. Mattress thickness
Most of our storage beds suit mattresses up to about 12 inches (30cm). Our thickest mattresses, the 35cm Nuloft Luxe Pro and Nuloft Serenite, need a frame that can take them, or a customised storage bed. Tell us when you order and we’ll check.
3. Final bed height
Add the base height to the mattress thickness. A 40.5cm storage base with a 28cm mattress makes a bed about 68cm high, which suits most adults. For a lower bed, pair a low frame or 11 inch storage base with a slimmer mattress. Our storage bed frame guide explains the heights.
4. Weight, if it’s a storage bed
The hydraulic lifts on our storage beds handle the weight of a full mattress. If you want the base as light as possible to lift, a slimmer mattress such as the 20cm Nuloft Lite helps.
5. The look
A tall upholstered headboard pairs well with a plush, pillow-top mattress. A low Japanese wooden frame looks best with a slimmer mattress, so the bed stays low and simple.
Bed frame and mattress pairings that work
| If you want | Bed frame | Mattress |
|---|---|---|
| Maximum storage | Mica or Jayce hydraulic storage bed | Nuloft Hybrid, our best seller |
| Solid wood, hotel feel | Nara American oak bed frame | Nuloft Luxe, our cooling hybrid |
| Low Japanese style | Aube wooden drawer bed (Japan sizes) | Nuloft Lite or The Nuloft in Japan size |
| A kid’s room | Yuno pet-friendly bed frame in Super Single | Nuloft Lite, firm and supportive |
| A firm bed on a budget | Mica storage bed | Dorme Firmhaven, firm high-density foam |
The Nara deserves a special mention. It’s our best-selling wooden bed frame: solid American oak with an angled headboard you can lean back on, built-in power sockets and a touch LED light. Paired with the Nuloft Luxe, it’s the closest thing we have to a hotel bed at home.
How to save with Bundle & Save
Add a mattress, a bed frame and at least one bedding accessory to the same order, then enter one of these codes at checkout:
| Code | What you get | Eligible mattresses | Minimum spend |
|---|---|---|---|
| PWP10 | Extra 10% off | Nuloft, VAZZO or Dorme, with a bed frame and a bedding accessory | $1,000 |
| PWP5 | Extra 5% off | Any mattress brand, with a bed frame and a bedding accessory | $700 |
| PWB20 | Extra 20% off bedding accessories | Any mattress | None |
Use one code per order; codes can’t be combined with other offers. Full details are on our Bundle & Save page.
Which code should you use? For a Nuloft, VAZZO or Dorme mattress with a bed frame worth $1,000 or more in total, PWP10 usually saves the most. If you’re mainly stocking up on pillows, sheets and protectors alongside a mattress, compare PWB20.
Example: a $1,400 order with a Nuloft mattress, a bed frame and a mattress protector saves $140 with PWP10.
Bedding accessories that count
Any of these complete your bundle:
- A mattress protector, such as the Nuloft Ice Silk Mattress Protector
- A bedsheet set, such as the Nuloft Dreamer linen bedding set
- Pillows and bolsters, such as the MaxCoil Mandy memory foam pillow or VIRO Star foam bolster
A protector is worth adding anyway. It keeps the mattress clean and protects your warranty.

FAQ
Is it better to buy a bed frame and mattress together?
Usually, yes. You can match the size and height properly, get one delivery and assembly, and use the bundle codes, which only apply when both are in the same order.
Can I use more than one bundle code?
No. Use one code per order. Codes can’t be combined with other offers.
What counts as a bedding accessory?
Pillows, bolsters, bedsheet sets, pillow cases, mattress protectors and other bedding items.
Does any mattress work with any bed frame?
Any mattress works if it’s the same size system and fits the frame’s thickness limit. Our storage beds suit mattresses up to about 30cm thick; thicker ones need customisation.
Will you take away my old bed?
Yes. Add the furniture disposal service to your order and we’ll remove your old bed frame and mattress on delivery day.
