There are three colours to choose from, including the light grey Pebble, the beige Oatmeal colour, and a darker grey that Silk & Snow calls Granite. Each colour is available in three different frame sizes, so you can choose from Full, Queen, or King.
The slats that create the platform are spaced closely together to make this frame ideal for foam mattresses. The slats are made with poplar wood and have about 3” between them, so they provide the perfect support. Your mattress won’t sag with this bed frame! You also won’t have to use a box spring or other support structure with your mattress.
Though this bed frame looks complicated and clean, it’s simple to put together. The pieces come in a compact box (minus the headboard), which makes it easy to move the parts to another room when you’re ready to move the bed.
This bed can hold up to 1,100 pounds or 499kg regardless of the size, but you should consider the weight of your mattress as well. The fabric used on the headboard is a woven polyester upholstery, with powder-coated iron used for the general frame pieces.

If you’re in the market for a beautiful bed set-up but don’t want a tufted design, this one will work wonders for you.
This frame is compatible with most mattresses, including latex and memory foam options. Hybrids are great as well, but some innerspring mattresses may be too heavy for the weight limit. However, this frame is compatible with Casper’s adjustable frames (as they’ll slot into place inside), as well as most of Casper’s mattresses. If you’re a fan of the company, don’t be afraid to give this mattress a try. You’ll have 30 days from the day you receive it to try it out and see if you want to keep it.
The Highlights
The Casper Haven Bed Frame features modern felted wood upholstery to create a contemporary, minimalistic feel. This bed frame will look great with almost any bedroom décor. It’s a slatted frame that rests close to the floor, so you don’t have to manage under-bed storage at all. It’s not all frame, though – it also includes a cushioned headboard that doubles as a backrest. It’s perfectly angled for sitting up in bed. Plus, this frame is compatible with all of Casper’s adjustable bases and most of their mattresses.

Why Trust Us?
We’ve spent years in the Canadian sleep industry. We’ve tracked changes, trends, exciting new options, and more. Our staff and our teams of testers have seen it all, and we know what quality looks like. When we started preparing to review bed frames, we spent weeks researching what was available on the market, trying each great option, and formulating our opinions. We compared our notes with our testing teams to arrive at the options on our list.
While we were evaluating each option, we compared them based on the following areas:
- Frame Materials. Wood frames are sturdy, but metal frames last longer. Whichever you choose, know that we scouted out bed frames made with only the best materials available in Canada.
- Design. In addition to durability, the design of a bed frame is one of the most important features to look for. We chose bed frames that were minimalistic, stylish or both! We also looked for options that might work with a variety of different bedroom setups, so there’s something for everyone.
- Support. Bed frames are meant to be supportive, right? Because of this, we’ve chosen bed frames with the most supportive bases. This includes slats that are close together, as well as frames that work with or without a box spring.
- Trials and Warranties. Not every bed frame in Canada is meant for every bed or even every sleeper. We chose bed frames with the best sleep trials and warranties for this reason. We want to make sure you love your bed frame, and trying it first is the best way to know if it’s the right option for you.
Do You Need a Bed Frame?
A bed frame can be an expensive investment, especially if you go for some of the more luxurious options. But do you need one? There are several reasons you might benefit from a bed frame.
First, your bed frame gives your mattress the support it needs to support you. If you need the extra support, a bed frame can help turn your mattress into the perfect sleeping surface. It also works to circulate air better than placing your mattress on the floor, which can help regulate temperature.
At the same time, a frame can help protect your mattress. If air doesn’t circulate as it should, your mattress can hold in moisture and start to mold. Plus, on a frame, your mattress is less likely to slide around as you sleep.
Whether you need a bed frame is a personal decision, but there are a ton of great benefits to lifting your bed off of the floor.
How to Choose a Bed Frame for Canadians
So how do you go about choosing a bed frame? There are a ton of different features and options to look out for. Here are some of the basics you need to know before choosing a bed frame.
Type of Frame
You might think that bed frames are simple, but that isn’t the case! There are a ton of different types of frames to choose from in Canada.
- Platform. A platform bed provides a series of solid slats for your mattress to rest on. Because there’s little to no space between the slats, it’s one of the most supportive frames for mattresses that need extra support, especially memory foam options.
- Adjustable. Adjustable frames are more expensive options. Here, you can lower the head or foot of the bed to meet your preferred sleeping position. Adjustable beds often come with a ton of special features, including charging, under-bed lighting, and more.
- Slatted/Foundation. Slatted and foundation frames are the most popular options. These slats are spaced out just enough to provide more airflow, and may often be wrapped in a cloth cover. Be careful of the slat spacing; some mattresses require slats that are closer together, so make sure you take that into account.
Materials
What is the bed frame made of? Usually, frames are made of either wood or metal.
- Wood frames are the most popular type of bed frames. They can be made from various types of wood and may include customization options. However, they don’t last as long as their metal counterparts.
- Metal frames are more durable than wood frames, and can often be put together quickly. Metal frames are also better at supporting more weight and therefore have a higher weight limit. They’re also better suited for heavier mattresses.
Most bed frames fall into one of these categories, but others may blend different materials to achieve a unique look or increased stability. Make sure to choose the option that works best for you.
Weight Limit
All bed frames have a weight limit. This limit should be observed to ensure that your frame lasts as long as possible. It’s also imperative to observe this limit for safety reasons.
Keep in mind that your frame’s weight limit includes the mattress, box springs, and the combined weight of any bedding in addition to the people sleeping in the bed. If you’re unsure, you should always choose a frame with a weight limit that far exceeds these factors.
If you don’t observe the weight limit, you might void your warranty. Because going over this limit can cause your frame to malfunction, it’s best to stick to it.
Sizes
What size mattress are you using with the frame? You’ll want to choose the frame that best fits your mattress size. Most frames offer options in the six core mattress sizes, with some exceptions. Some might only offer King or Queen-sized frames, while others offer Split King options. Split King is essentially two connected Twin XL mattresses. Each partner can have a mattress (and, in the case of adjustable frames, position) that meets their preferences.
If you don’t choose the proper size, your mattress might not be properly supported.
Design
The design of the bed frame can be important. For the most part, you should pay attention to the type of frame, what it’s made of, and the other specifications you need. However, the design of the frame can make a big difference.
A frame with closer slats is better for memory foam mattresses, for instance. These slats can help with additional support for mattresses that are prone to sagging. Mattresses with higher legs allow for more storage under the bed, too.
The way the frame is designed can have an impact on how effective it is, so make sure to figure out which type of frame works best for your mattress and your bedroom setup.
Bed Frame Additional Features
Now that you know the basics for choosing a bed frame, here are some of the additional features you might be interested in.
Headboards and Headboard Attachments
Headboards are a great way to make your bed frame stylish and classy. While some frames aren’t made to fit into headboards, some of the options on our list either include a headboard or offer a headboard attachment.
Headboards that are included with the frame usually match the materials and create a certain desired look. You can easily choose the style that best suits your décor and design. A frame with headboard attachments might be able to accommodate the headboard you already have. Some frames have headboard attachments and footboard attachments, so make sure to look for those if you’re interested.
Adjustable Legs
Some bed frames offer adjustable legs, which can raise or lower the frame based on your preferences. Taller Canadians can use the larger leg options, while shorter users or those with pets or children can opt for the smaller options. Some bed frames include adjustable leg sizes in your purchase, while others offer size options before you add the frame to your cart online.
Make sure you choose the option that works best for you. Measure your current bed frame if possible. This will give you a good idea of what the sizes on the product page actually represent.
Sleep Trials and Warranties
Sleep trials allow you to try the bed frame before you commit to the purchase. Most frames will have a small trial, usually about 30 days, to see if the frame is for you. While you do have to purchase the frame up-front to try it, these trials allow you to return it for a full refund within 30 days if it doesn’t work for you.
Warranties, on the other hand, allow you to return or replace a frame that fails during normal use. Warranties are in place to protect against manufacturing defects, so you can rest assured that your bed frame is covered. Longer warranties are best, but make sure to read the warranty information before making a choice. Certain use conditions may void the warranty, so read the warranty information carefully.
