bed-frame

Sleeper's skeletal base

A bed-frame is the structural support that holds a mattress off the floor.

It typically consists of a headboard, footboard, and side rails, though simpler designs may omit some elements.

The old wooden bed-frame creaked whenever anyone moved.

Also spelled as one word: bedframe.
