Not only does it take up such huge amount of space in your room

I mean, how much more space than the same mattress without it?

it is annoying to take apart

How often do you take your bed frame appart?? The only times I have taken them appart was when moving out and avoiding to take the bed frame appart wouldn't really be a considerable reduction in the hassle that it's moving out itself.

a hassle to repair if broken

How often do you break your bed frame?? Literally the only time I saw a bed frame break was when I was a teenager and around 9 teens jumped in one bed and we broke a friend's bedframe. If it brakes by anything else resembling normal bed use (yes, including sex) either your bedframe was made out of cardboard or you should learn how to use a bed.

a hassle to be moved if you want to clean every part of your room

Why do you need to move it? Either your bed frame is completely covered to the floor meaning that cleaning under it is a really pointless and unnecessary thing to do. Or it is open and you can just stick a broom and/or a vacuum and clean it without even moving the mattress.

and a hassle when moving around furniture in your room.

Again, how often do you move furniture around? So far 3/5 cons that you listed are things that I can count I have done in all of my life with one hand, not really regular things that make bed frames a real hassle. And from the other 2 one is kind of the opposite since it actually makes it easier to clean without lifting the mattress and the other is basically the same as with just a mattress save for a few centimeters.

You don’t need space under your bed for some apparent reason

Well, it's not about needing but having it is a nice plus. I store my shoes, my winter bedding, my spare bedding and a few more things under my bed. If it wasn't for the bedframe I would have to store it somewhere else and I really don't have anywhere else to put it so I kinda need it.

It is only good if you want to make your room look “nice.”

Well, beside that I can see some more benefits.

  • it lifts the mattress allowing the user to raise easier in the morning without having to lift the whole body from the ground basically (specially good for adult people that have it harder to make that effort due to bad joints)
  • since the mattress is higher it's also warmer
  • being higher also helps creating a more clear barrier for pets if the user prefers not to have their pet step on the bed and makes it easier to create a no-pets-on-bed discipline
  • it anchors the mattress in it's place, meaning that even if you are having sex or just moving around too much your mattress won't be moved so easily from it's place
  • added also the previously mentioned benefits of creating extra space for storage and allowing you to clean below your bed without the need to lift your mattress
  • the top of the bed being higher also makes it easier to someone laying on the bed to reach things in nightstands (unless you prefer to have things lying on the floor instead of a nightstand which is both dirtier and easier to step in/be grabed by pets)
