Upholstered Beds

What is an upholstered bed?

An upholstered bed is a bed frame fully wrapped in fabric — velvet, chenille, or a durable weave — and padded from headboard to base. Unlike a wooden or metal frame, the soft finish makes it a natural bedroom centrepiece, and the padded headboard gives you something comfortable to lean against when reading or watching TV.

What are the benefits of an upholstered bed?

Upholstered beds add warmth and texture that hard-frame beds simply can't match — making them one of the most popular choices for a master bedroom. The padded finish is softer to the touch, kinder on corners, and acts as a natural insulator, so your room feels warmer and quieter. With a wide range of fabrics, colours, and headboard styles, they're also one of the most customisable beds you can buy.

Does an upholstered bed come with a mattress?

It depends on the listing — some of our upholstered beds are sold as a complete bed-and-mattress bundle, while others let you choose the frame on its own so you can pair it with a mattress you already own or pick one separately. Check the product options on each listing to see what's included.

What fabric and colour options are there?

Our upholstered range comes in a selection of fabrics and colourways, from plush velvets to more practical weaves, so you can match the bed to the rest of your room. Each fabric is available in multiple colours — from neutral creams and warm greys to bold blacks and rich jewel tones.

What does a wingback headboard add?

A wingback headboard has panels that angle out at the sides, creating a more framed, cocooned look and giving you something to lean against side-on. It's more than just a styling choice — it makes the bed feel like a private retreat within the room, adding a sense of enclosure that a flat headboard doesn't give you.

Wingback vs. panel headboard — what's the difference?

A wingback headboard features angled side panels for a dramatic, hotel-suite look. A panel headboard is flat and neatly stitched — cleaner and more understated, and usually a little more affordable. Both styles are available across our full fabric and colour range.

Do upholstered beds come with storage?

Yes — most of our upholstered beds are available with optional built-in drawers, typically two or four, positioned on either side of the base for easy everyday access. Ottoman-style options are also available, where the entire base lifts on gas-lift pistons to reveal a large under-bed compartment — ideal for bedding, pillows, and seasonal items.

Are upholstered beds easy to assemble?

Yes — our upholstered beds are designed for straightforward home assembly with basic tools, and the headboard typically brackets on separately. Full step-by-step instructions and all necessary fixings are included with every order.
