How To Choose a Bed

Learn how to choose a bed based on material, style and size.

Find Your Dream Material

  • Add warmth and character to your bedroom with a wood bed.
  • Our upholstered beds typically have a larger footprint, with thick headboards that make them great for reading in bed. Choose an upholstery fabric that will easily coordinate with your bedding.
  • Exceptionally strong, our metal beds come in a wide range of colors and typically have a smaller footprint.
  • Inherently durable, our leather beds naturally accumulate small marks from your use over time, giving them a beautiful lived-in look.

Design Tip:
Our bed designs do not require a box spring. Your mattress can rest right on the support bars or an adjustable base.

What Style Is Right for You?

  • Beds with soft edges add a relaxed, organic aesthetic, while beds with straight lines and corners add a modern style.
  • Beds with bases that go all the way to the floor offer a monolithic look, while beds on legs offer a classic style.
  • A taller headboard adds drama to the bedroom and provides extra comfort for reading in bed.
  • Beds with storage drawers add elegant, closed storage under your bed—perfect for bedding or clothing.

Bedroom Measurement Tips

  • Leave at least 18 inches of space on either side of your bed for ease of walking, but more space (24 to 36 inches) adds more comfort.
  • If you want a storage bed, leave at least 36 inches of space at the foot so the drawer can fully extend with room to spare.
  • Add the width of your desired nightstands (usually 18 to 36 inches) to your bed’s headboard width to make sure they all fit side by side along your desired wall.
  • Try not to crowd your furniture. You need a few inches of space between your bed and nightstand, and a few inches of space between your nightstand and the wall.
