It’s moving day. Everything should go perfectly. Except the weather report says it’s 85 degrees, it feels like 100, the air quality index is dangerous, and the humidity is making it hard to breathe. Also, you live on a third floor walk-up. With no elevator.
If this sounds familiar, you know the nightmare of moving. The last thing anyone wants on a day like that is to wrestle with a heavy, awkward bed frame. Traditional frames are often bulky, hard to grip, and impossible to get around corners without scraping the paint or putting a hole in the wall that you’ll try to claim was there when you moved in.
That’s where we come in. At SoftFrame Designs, we make the moving process easy, and if that sounds like an oxymoron, it’s because it usually is. Moving is often a headache, but it doesn’t have to be. Our easy to move bed frames are ultra-light weight, all-cushioned, and upholstered with premium fabrics made to last.
Our lightweight bed frames don’t just save you sweat on moving day. Their lighter construction also cuts transportation weight, which reduces the carbon footprint during shipping. It’s a small change, but for renters who care about sustainability, it matters.
Why Renters Need Furniture That Moves as Easily as They Do
Renters move more often than homeowners. In the United States, 31.4% of people rent, which equals about 102.7 million people. Data from the U.S. Census Bureau shows that renters move every two to three years on average, sometimes even more often. Life changes, job opportunities, rent hikes, or simply wanting a better location and quality of life all make frequent moves a reality. Especially for those in their 20’s, moving can sometimes be a yearly dilemma. Fresh starts are supposed to be exciting, right? Hitting the reset button should be cathartic.
If you’re someone who craves peace in the middle of major upheaval, and let’s be honest, who doesn’t, you’ve probably experienced the frustration of disassembling a bed frame. We’ve all been there: insisting it was worth keeping, only to realize it doesn’t fit in your new place or the hardware gets lost during the move. You end up replacing it entirely, having come this far to only come this far.
A bed frame that’s both beautiful and practical changes the game. It’s something you can take with you anywhere without worrying if it will survive the trip or fit through the front door.
Why Moving Is So Hard
This can be summed up with the 3 Big E’s: Exhausting, Expensive, Emotional.
Exhausting: Carrying heavy furniture up stairs or down hallways is a full-body workout. By the time you get to your bed frame, your energy is gone. Our frames are cloud-like in weight and cushioned all around, which makes them far easier to lift and maneuver.
Expensive: Renting a moving van just for one oversized piece of furniture feels wasteful, but it happens all the time with traditional bed frames. With SoftFrame bed frames, you can often skip the van entirely if you have access to an SUV or large car.
Emotional: Moving can feel bittersweet. Leaving one chapter for the next can be overwhelming, regardless of whether or not you loved or disliked the place. While we can’t remove that heavy emotional load, we can lighten the burden in a tangible way. Our mission is to give you something to look forward to in your new space. A bed frame you already love and associate with comfort can make an unfamiliar apartment feel more like home.
How SoftFrame Makes It Easier
Our bed frames are different from anything you’ve moved before. Instead of metal rails or wooden slats, our frames are made from a lightweight foam construction that’s fully cushioned and wrapped in premium high quality fabrics. You simply place the frame around your existing box spring, slide the headboard between the wall and frame, and set your mattress on top. That’s it. No screws, bolts, or nails.
Here’s how we stack up:
- Average weight: Much lighter than wood or metal frames, so you can carry it alone if needed.
- Assembly time: Under 10 minutes, no tools required.
- Safety: The cushioned edges mean fewer stubbed toes and bruised shins during late-night walks to the kitchen.
- By the end of your move, you’ll take a look around your new space and feel as if you’ve hit a Staples Easy Button.
- That was easy.

Can You Move It Alone?
Yes, you can. That’s one of the perks of owning a lightweight bed frame. While other parts of your move may require help, choosing SoftFrame Designs gives you the gift of independence.
More Than Just Portability
For renters, adaptability is just as important as portability. Your new apartment might have a different wall color, different lighting, or a smaller footprint. Our SoftFrame bed frames come in a range of sizes and fabric options so they can work in any space. The 360 degrees of cushion also protect your walls from scratches, which is especially important if you want that security deposit back. And the best part? No heated debates with your friends about which way to tilt it.
Care and Maintenance for Long-Term Use
If you’re moving your bed frame often, you want it to stay in great shape. Here’s how to keep it looking new:
- Vacuum the upholstery regularly to remove dust.
- Spot clean with a mild fabric cleaner and a damp cloth.
- Use a lightweight furniture cover when moving to protect from dirt and scuffs.
With minimal care, your SoftFrame bed frame can look just as good on your tenth move as it did on your first. You can find more information about care instructions here.
