We Love These Bed Wraps: Cover Up Those Ugly Metal Bed Frames

If you like the look of an upholstered bed but aren’t investing in new furniture, here is a simple way to get that modern look.

There are lots of issues with metal frames and box springs. Bedskirts or dust ruffles aren’t always easy to deal with and they can get messy. Then, they typically only cover the metal frames and not the box springs. Bedding doesn’t always cover the whole box spring, leaving the whole room looking unfinished. So, what’s the best way to hide a box spring or cover bed frame legs?

We’re big fans of these Circa Bed Wraps from Standard Textile Home. They cover the frame and box spring and give beds the clean look of a completely upholstered bed. This option offers an easy upgrade!

The bed wraps are quite simple to put on in just minutes. For 48″ bed frames, we recommend sizing up to the full size wraps.

Our Favorite!

These Circa bed wraps give you that nice, high upholstered bed look. The wraps cover both the boxspring and the metal frames!

    Can I get this look with fabric from a fabric store?

      Possibly! The standard textile ones has some backing and stiff plastic on the edges to keep it straight and looking like a upholstered bed instead is bed skirt.

      I personally have the standard textile one and love it! Great quality, and I love the way it updated the bed.

    I just use a fitted sheet in the same size as my box spring. It goes on easily and washes easily.

    What about the legs? Mine are metal with unsightly wheels! Any ideas for that?

      Same question! Did you by any chance come up with a solution for this yet?

      It doesn’t work for a high riser. So far we haven’t found a solution.

    I love this! But is it difficult to store things under the bed?

      If you need to access things seasonally then its ok. If you need to get things weekly, its not so easy. You need to unclip the back clips.

    How do I know what size to order for 44″ mattress bed? Twin, twin xl. King… I just listed what I remembered off my head

    Just bought this with 25% off sale and it looks great! For those who have been asking – my bed frame sits on a metal frame with legs. The expensive version covers the entire bottom of my bed frame. Happens to lift about an inch off the floor but it doesn’t effect the overall look. I got the cheaper version for my twin beds in my kids room – that does not cover the metal frame and you can totally see the diff in quality. Hope that helped.

    I raise the top of my bed due to acid reflux. Anyone have any experience using these with a raised bed?

    Do you know if I could use these on regular box springs?

    It seems like these wraps don’t work on beds with attached headboards. Any ideas/experience? I have regular metal framed beds with attached headboards and I would love a more polished look I can’t seem to find anything that works.
