Do I Need a Bed Frame?
Trying to decide if you need a new bed frame? It is a good idea to look for a new bed frame if you are changing up the style of your bedroom, if you are looking for a more supportive frame, or if you want different features, like a lower profile or more underbed storage. Let’s go over who should consider buying the Saatva Santorini bed frame and who should look for a different bed frame instead.
Who Should Buy the Saatva Santorini Bed Frame
- Shoppers looking for a minimalist frame with a sophisticated look should appreciate the Saatva Santorini bed frame.
- Those who want to use their frame with an adjustable base will appreciate how you can easily combine the Santorini with an adjustable base, such as the Saatva Adjustable Base or Adjustable Base Plus.
- Those who do not want a box spring will enjoy the Santorini’s use of slats for support, so no box spring is necessary.
Who Should Not Buy the Saatva Santorini Bed Frame
- If you want a tall bed frame with lots of room for underbed storage, the Santorini may not be the best fit for you. It only has about six inches of underbed clearance.
- If you need a frame smaller than queen size, you are out of luck. Queen is the smallest size the Santorini comes in.
- Budget shoppers might find the Santorini bed frame a bit expensive. I think the price is overall reasonable for the quality, but it definitely isn’t a cheap option.
How Do I Set Up the Saatva Santorini Bed Frame?
Normally in a bed frame review, I would include instructions on how to assemble the bed frame. However, one of the biggest perks of shopping with Saatva is that you don’t have to do any assembly yourself. Saatva provides free in-room delivery and set up, meaning they will bring the frame into your room of choice and set it up — all for free.
What is the Saatva Santorini Bed Frame Made Of?
Bed frames can be made with a variety of materials; there are solid wood frames, metal bed frames, or frames with a mix of materials. Wondering what the Saatva Santorini bed frame is made of? Let’s go over the materials below.
The Santorini bed frame is made of sustainably sourced hardwood, which is kiln-dried for extra durability. It uses plywood slats with multiple metal support feet and has a vertical center support, which is what bears the weight of the mattress. Additionally, it has fortified bolts and brackets to keep the frame stable at attachment points.
The frame has a headboard, which is upholstered, along with the rest of the frame. You have three different options for the upholstery: natural linen, graphite vintage velvet, or taupe vintage velvet. The velvets are made from a polyester-cotton blend. The headboard is also fully upholstered, front and back.

Read Full ReviewMy Verdict on the Saatva Santorini Bed Frame
The Saatva Santorini bed frame looks and feels high-end to me. I appreciate the use of high-quality, durable materials like kiln-dried hardwood, which makes me think this bed frame will last a long time. I also like the use of plywood slats for the support, as I personally don’t love box springs. Plus, the upholstery looks and feels high-end, too. Having three fabric options also allows you to customize the look of the frame to your room.
While it does have an upholstered headboard, the Santorini bed frame doesn’t have a footboard, so if that’s something you’re looking for, it may not work for you. It does also have a low profile, which is beneficial for getting in and out of bed, but also limits how much underbed storage space you have.
All in all, I think this frame is a great option for anyone who wants a quality frame with a sleek style. Plus, the free white glove delivery is a nice bonus.
