Types of beds

Check out the types of beds you can choose from to find the right choice to complete your bedroom and compliment your home decor:

Platform: Platform beds typically don’t need a box spring, because the mattress sits on top of slats that are close together. Platform beds usually give off a simple, minimalistic look.

Sleigh: Sleigh beds feature curved headboards and footboards that resemble a traditional, horse-drawn sleigh. They’re typically made of wood and feature ornate carved designs. 

Four poster: Four poster beds are designated by four posts at each corner of the bed. The posts can feature a variety of designs and heights and four poster beds look great in traditionally decorated bedrooms. 

Daybed: Daybeds are designed to function as a sofa when they’re not used for sleeping. When placed against a wall, the headboard and footboard act as the arms of the sofa. This versatility makes them especially popular for guest rooms!

Canopy: Similar to a four poster, canopy beds have four tall posts that connect with crossbeams at the top. The posts are traditionally designed to hang curtains from, but modern canopy beds forgo the curtains for a sleek and sophisticated look.

Storage: Storage beds are perfect for small spaces because they have large drawers built into the frame under the mattress. Some will also feature drawers or shelves on the headboard too!

Panel: Panel beds are a classic style with a headboard and footboard made of decorative panels of wood. The panels feature molding to add interest and are available in both wood tones and painted finishes.

Upholstered: Upholstered beds can be found in both modern and traditional home decor and are a popular choice because of their soft and cozy finish. Upholstered headboards often feature button tufting or nailhead trim as an extra touch.

As you can see, different types of beds lend themselves to different decor styles. But don’t be afraid to play around with designs and find the perfect bed that speaks to you. 

How to pick the right bed size

Many people don’t know where to start when it comes to bed sizes. Queen beds are the most popular choice, but there are so many other options. If you’re looking for more space than a Queen size bed provides, a King or California King is the way to go. If you’re worried about outfitting a small bedroom or you’re a single sleeper, check out a Full or Twin size bed. Whatever you need, you’ll be sure to find stylish beds at Raymour & Flanigan in sizes Twin, Full, Queen, King, and even California King.
