Upholstered Beds

What different types of upholstered beds are available?

Our upholstered beds bring sophistication and style to your bedroom, and here’s what you can choose from:

• Sleigh beds: Ideal for making a bold statement, our upholstered sleigh beds feature distinctive curved headboards and footboards. Opt for a super king in this style for ultimate opulence.
• TV Beds: There’s no need to mount your TV or take up precious surface space. With our fabric TV beds, the TV discreetly resides in the footboard, raising and lowering at the touch of a remote.
• Upholstered beds with storage: Great for smaller rooms or multifunctional guest spaces, an upholstered storage bed provides room for essentials, such as bedding and towels. To be the best host, read our comprehensive guide on guest rooms.

What materials are used for upholstered beds?

The material of your upholstered bed greatly influences its look and feel. Here are some popular fabric options:

• Velvet-beds: A luxurious, soft-touch fabric that adds a cosy and elegant feel.
• Woven fabrics: Durable and textured, offering a classic yet versatile aesthetic.
• Bouclé: Known for its stylish, looped texture, bouclé gives a modern, designer-inspired look.
• Linen-blend fabrics: Light and breathable, perfect for creating a laid-back, natural style.

What kinds of upholstered bed bases provide the best support?

When it comes to ensuring you get the best night's sleep possible, it's essential to consider the mattress you use and the base it sits on. Different slats offer different kinds of support:

• Platform tops offer a solid surface with no springs, suitable for firm sleepers.
• Sprung slats are curved and placed in sections, offering shock absorption and extra support.
• Solid slats, meanwhile, run across the entire width of the bed without curves.

How do I choose the best upholstered bed for me?

The right upholstered bed can transform your bedroom, but choosing the perfect one depends on the size of your room and how you want the space to feel.

Match your bed style to your room size:

For smaller rooms:

• Upholstered single or small double beds can add flair without overwhelming the space.
• Beds with built-in storage, such as ottoman beds, maximise practicality without sacrificing style.
• Compact designs or beds without a footboard create an open and uncluttered look.

For larger rooms:

• Sleigh beds are ideal for making a dramatic statement, with their curved headboards and footboards adding a luxurious feel.
• A king or super king-size bed creates a stunning showpiece and offers ample sleeping space.
• Even in larger spaces, storage beds offer added convenience without compromising design.

Tips for colours and styling

• Light tones (cream, blush, or dove grey) make smaller spaces airy and open, helping the room feel less crowded.
• Bold hues (mustard, navy, or teal) work well in larger rooms where the bed can be a focal point, adding character and depth.
• Pair your upholstered bed with complementary bedding and cushions to tie the look together. Layering textures like knitted throws or faux fur add warmth and style.

How can I maintain my upholstered bed?

We recommend gently vacuuming your upholstered bed frame once a week to prevent dust buildup. Use a soft vacuum attachment and focus on areas where debris tends to collect. For quick clean ups, like spills, spot -clean the area with a mild soap and warm water mixture. Make sure to wring the cloth so it's only damp, then gently dab the spot. For tougher stains, consider using a fabric cleaner specifically designed for upholstery.
