Welcome to the Bedframe Emporium! Here we sell all kinds of frames and mattresses for all your bedding needs! We're have a crazy sale right now, everything must go, so we're practically giving them away, by which I mean, we're giving them away!Hello everyone, I'm Ryu, and I'm a sucker for organization. Since EA hasn't created specific support for a separate bed-frame/mattress feature, I figured it would be nice to have a consolidated list of all the various CC for this feature that exists. A couple of ground rules, as per forum rules, I will not directly link to your download. If I don't have a preview/description to link to, I won't list the content here. Besides the fact that it's the rules, I am not going to send people to download content they can't look at first.
Also, I'm going to do my best to give the content creator proper credit, which means if I have reason to believe I stumbled into someone's copy of someone else's work, I will call them out on it and give the actual creator proper credit. If a creator, for some reason, wishes for me not to share their content on my list, I will respect that and take it down at their request. If this thread as a whole is considered intrusive or redudant, I'll take it down as well.
If you know of any working frame/mattress content that's missing from the list, please suggest it to me. I'll try to keep the list as up-to-date as possible.
I will also identify any content confirmed to be broken or wonky. If something on my list is broken/bad CC, let me know, and hopefully I can get some people to test it (if I haven't or don't have the time to do so myself). If I know something is broken for sure, I'll put it in a broken section so people know not to suggest it to me and that the content itself is broken.
So, to start out, I'm going to link over to annachibi's thread, and give her the proper credit for being (to my knowledge) the person who started this whole thing. For those of you who want a primer on what exactly this thread is about, her thread should explain it pretty well. I'm also going to give a shoutout to orangemittens (one of our lovely site moderators) for helping annachibi accomplish this, and another shoutout to Veranka, as her frame/mattress CC might have actually been the first (at least for Sims 4). Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong on any of these details (I'll admit, the list is a bit of a task, so my research on this wasn't as thorough as it could have been).
If you credit the proper creators, I am completely fine with someone posting my list on another forum (or linking to this list) or taking this one and updating it if I happen to fall off the face of the Earth for a long period of time.
For anyone who wants to hide non-separated beds from the main game, annachibi also has you covered there.

Bed FramesI'll start this post by linking over to annachibi's original again, since she has frames for a bunch of the base game beds there, and she is (again, to my knowledge) the one that started this.

Bedding/MattressesHere I'm going to sort mattresses a little differently, focusing on creating a 'progression' where mattresses with low stats are listed first and high stat mattresses are listed last. They will be listed by name followed by their stats (E = Energy, SR = Stress Relief, DR = Discomfort Relief). SingleDoubleMatching Single and Double

I plan on editing the prices of all the mattresses and frames I find to create a more uniform system. If anyone is interested, I can create a 'price guide' here based on where I end up, and I can even add a (extremely simple) tutorial on how to edit the prices for those of you so inclined. I will not post other peoples CC that I've edited (I don't know for sure whether it's against the rules or not, but I totally understand why it would be, so I'm just not gonna), so you'll have to do it yourself, but if people are interested in my pricing system (when I finish it), I'll happily post it. - Update Nov 9, 2015 (3:00 AM) - For my sanity, I'm going to post little updates while I work on this project, and then continue to post updates in the future when new content is updated/released. For now, I'm semi-regretting taking on this project, but that'll fade when I'm done and especially when I see signs that my list helped someone. Still, it's so time-consuming... I only just realized that I should totally have made a section for single/double mattress/frame sets that match, which will save me a little bit of sanity. Still, I'm kinda annoyed that it took me this long to realize that...
- Addendum (3:42 AM) - I'd really love to find some mattresses that aren't at full stats. It's kind of disappointing to see such a lack of progression. Not every Sim should be sleeping on super-comfy beds. If I don't find anyone, I've got internet cookies for anyone who can find some or maybe set-up some generic ones with various levels of comfort tuning that could be applied to other mattresses fairly easily (preferably with a little tutorial showing the best way to do it). If someone sets up the latter, I might even see if I can poke some of the content creators for permission to create and post merged packages of their bedding with varied levels of tuning (I'm not promising anything there).
- Addendum (4:32 AM) - Y'all are prolific... I didn't think there would be so many... I'm about to /ragequit this list. Not really, I'm chill, I'm just a little tired and I need to vent a little to keep from flailing at my screen. Particularly since while I'm looking for bed stuff, I keep stumbling into other interesting CC and it's like TVTropes, just falling ass over elbows into rabbit holes of CC. Also, it's highly upsetting to keep finding SG5150's stuff, because it's all so well made and he deleted his Simblr. /sigh
- Addendum (8:47 AM) - Bluh, I cannot ignore sleep any longer (while this was a tiny factor, I wasn't putting off sleep just to do this, I've had a messed up sleep pattern for months now). I will complete this task when I return.
- Addendum (7:05PM) - I've acquired a Tense moodlet from this project. I should get an Inspired/Happy one when I'm done, though.
- Update Nov 12, 2015 (2:53AM) - Okay, this is done for now. If anyone want to suggest anything, go ahead.
- Update Nov 14, 2015 (5:29AM) - Added the frames/bedding from this set.
- Update Nov 25, 2015 (7:57PM) - Added TARDIS bedding by @countrykris . Also went back and tagged S4S members where I could.
- Update Nov 29, 2015 (8:35AM) - Added Bayside bedding and frames by peacemaker, and ethnic bed linens by believe&become. Thanks to believe&become for point them out.

You're welcome. If it help even one person save a lot of effort trying to find mattress/bed CC, it'll be worth doing. n.n
And as I said above, if anyone knows any I missed, let me know.

Let me be the first person that you have helped tremendously. I just adore bedding recolors and my searching can now end because of your very useful list. Thank you for all your time and effort in doing such a fantastic job.

The history of separated beds/bedding for Sims 4 goes pretty much like this: people were asking at EA forums and elsewhere for separated frames and mattresses before Sims 4 custom content tools even came out and when TSR issued their secret beta tool Veranka used it to post a separated frame and mattress set.
People using Sims 4 Studio were unable to recolor the mattress because it was buggy. I know this because several of them posted here at Studio wanting to recolor this reporting that they couldn't. When Studio became able to get the job done I made a separated mattress so that everyone using Studio would have a double mattress to recolor. That is the Sophia double bed mattress and it is a recolorable mesh that anyone is free to recolor.
Annachibi happened to be visiting in chat and volunteered to do the frames if someone would show her how to do it. I thought having all the frames done would be great so I showed her how. She then took on the large and painful task of doing all the frames and most of the single mattresses and did an excellent job with it.
As far as credit for thinking up the idea of separating EA's mattress from the frame goes...who knows? I can tell you that people have been doing so since Sims 2 days for various purposes.

Finn Quill I also think it was a great idea to make this list, thank you. I have some to add: Peacemaker-ic also separated the mattress from the bedframe - here is his Bayside furniture set and here is his Grove furniture set. I recoloured the Bayside mattress here with his permission (I called it the Ethnic Bayside Bedding Volume I since I based it on traditional patterns from different ethnic groups from all over the world) - it's also posted in my creator studio. Thank you as well to annachibi who did all that work - I am a fan of hers too.

Thanks for the list. I'm in the process of gathering all the ea frames, and I can't find the single bed frames by Orangemittens as pictured here. All the link are dead, have they been deleted? Thanks. |

Thanks. All the single Maxis frames I'm aware of are in the first section of the Bed Frames post, orangemittens might know better what happened to the ones you've mentioned. |

Thank you Finn Quill for that speedy update! I have a question though about the beds for anyone here - kind of embarrassing really because I should know this by now but it's been itching since I re-uploaded the bed recolour I made. That I remember I happily clicked on " Standalone recolor" and thought it included the mesh (I did have permission from Peacemaker to include it), I sincerely doubt that I clicked on selective clone or create 3d mesh because even to this day that unexplored territory still scares me  . From reading orangemittens' tutorials and/or notes here and here I think it didn't include the mesh. However in order to "classify" it properly (as mesh included/not included) I decided to test it and removed peacemaker's original mattress file from my Mods folder. And it still worked in the game *scratches head*. To be on the safe side, here in my studio and on tumblr, I've classified it as "needs original mesh". Since it was an extraction from the original game, not an actual new mesh, does that mean it doesn't need a "separate mesh"? Or it does require a mesh but it happens to be cloned in another package I have installed? Sorry to be such a pain, it's driving me obsessive compulsive not to be able to classify my own stuff!   I didn't post in the creator help bit because I didn't have any problems creating or using it, and it seems beddings and bedframes are different. |

I just made some recolors of the Sophia mattress if you would like to add them.  |

I found this recolour of a single mattress (for kids) by girlfromverona here. There are also various separated frames and mattress recolours by aroundthesims here, based on IKEA's single and double Lillesand beds and Hemnes daybed. Matching dressers and endtables too. |
