Typically the most common cheap bed frames are basic steel frames. These are usually adjustable to fit your exact bed size, and are available at a variety of online retailers for a very reasonable price. A decent metal bed frame (without a headboard) can be found for as little as $40 on sites like Amazon.com or Walmart.com.  If you are looking for a cheap bed frame that offers a little more style without being too pricey, consider getting a futon frame. There are a wide array of metal and wooden frames  available at prices starting around $70-$80. Of course this doesn’t include the mattress or the mattress cover.

Daybed frames also offer a cheap but stylish alternative. Starting at less than $100 at retailers such as kmart.com & sears.com, they are a little more pricey but definitely compliment a room’s decor better than the previous styles of frames discussed. The less expensive daybed frames are usually made of metal for it’s strength and durability (and lower cost). Wooden daybeds are generally more expensive and not quite as popular among online merchants.
