Upholstered Beds

Your bed is the focal point in your bedroom and upholstered beds can make the biggest statement of all. An upholstered bed frame can add an extra texture to your room while providing a comfortable and stable place to sleep.

What Are Upholstered Beds?

Upholstered beds simply incorporate a material on the bed frame. This can be leather, velvet, suede and many more materials. Usually the fabric is overlaid on top of additional padding, giving an upholstered bed frame a soft touch.

Coming in a range of different fabrics, sizes and shapes, you may struggle to decide which is the perfect upholstered bed for you. So, what should you look for when choosing your bed frame?

Upholstered Bed Sizes

You may think that only upholstered double bed frames or bigger sizes exist, but you’d be wrong. In fact, Dreams stock upholstered beds in all sizes. This means you can have your ideal bed in a small single, single, small double, double, king or even super king. We even have upholstered day beds! So, whether your room can only fit a single or can stretch to a king size upholstered bed, you can still have the same level of craftsmanship to complete your bedroom perfectly.

Storage Solutions

Space is a premium in all our homes and we’re always trying to find new ways of storing our items in a way that doesn’t clutter or overcrowd the room. Though you might consider some of these bed frames to be bulkier than, for example, plain wooden bed frames, an upholstered storage bed offers some great storage solutions.

Upholstered beds with storage come in three different styles. The most common style is where the mattress lies on slats that can be lifted up from the foot of the bed, meaning the whole base of the bed becomes a space for you to store anything you like.

Alternatively, you could choose an upholstered ottoman bed. This style has a system in which the mattress lifts up from the side – perfect for rooms which have more space on one side of the bed.

Finally, there are upholstered beds with drawers in the base. You can store your spare bedding in here and free up valuable cupboard space elsewhere in your home.

There are also many styles of upholstered TV beds. This means you won’t have to have your TV hanging on the wall or taking up precious space on a bedside table or dressing table. Instead, the TV sits in the footer of the bed and can be raised or lowered with a remote control. The ultimate bedroom luxury!

Fabric Choices

We have a range of fabric choices in our range, in various colours. Whether you’re looking for a statement bed in pink or a neutral grey upholstered beds we’re sure you’ll find one to suit your decor.

If you have children or pets, a leather bed may be the best choice as they can easily wipe clean and won’t allow pet hair to cling onto the material. Woven fabrics are also great for these families as they are soft and comfortable but don’t mark easily.

Velvet should be your fabric of choice if you’re looking for a luxury upholstered bed. This adds a romantic aesthetic to your room and brings in a beautiful surface to lay your head on.

The Best Upholstered Bed Style For You

Your choice of décor might influence which bed style you choose, or you might want to decorate your bedroom using the bed as inspiration. Whichever way you do it, you’ll need to consider some things to ensure your new upholstered bed doesn’t look or feel out of place.

Sleigh beds and TV beds often take up more room than your average bed frame. This is because they have a high headboard and foot end which is also upholstered. However, this style of bed can be a gorgeous statement.

If minimal is more your style but you still want the added texture an upholstered bed frame provides, there are plenty of simplistic and modern styles to choose from.

For a rustic look that combines nature and fabric, a bed with a wooden frame with upholstered sections will make you feel like you’re sleeping in a beautiful French chateau.
