Upholstered Bed Frames – The 9 best beds – Ultimate Selection

Upholstered bed frames are beautiful and also can be very comfortable for reading and lounging in the bed. They might need a bit more care than wooden or metal bed frames, but the look of them can be worth the extra effort. 

Generally, the bed frame is a scaffolding that will hold your mattress and additional support, be it a box spring or slats. A sophisticated bed frame can have an integrated head- and footboard and side rails. A correctly chosen bed frame can be a focal point of your bedroom, complete its look, and be not just a place where you can sleep tight but also be an excellent storage place.

Upholstered beds are usually made from plywood covered with fabric, e.g., linen, leather, faux-leather, suede, or velvet. Design options are endless with buttons, stitching, forms, colors, and materials. They look elegant, sophisticated and can have extra padding for additional comfort. Maintenance can be a bit more complicated, and you should use it with care to keep its beautiful look for a more extended period.

An upholstered bed frame can look amazing, but to keep it in its original form, you have to take care of it. What can you do to maintain its beauty?

• Keep up the cleaning routine so that you won’t need to deal with a significant amount of dust at once. 
• Use a damp cloth to wipe the upholstery; if you have a leather one, use some leather cleaning liquid to keep the material soft. You can keep fresh your non-leather upholstery by putting baking soda in it with damp clothes and vacuuming it to remove residue. If you don’t like the idea of putting baking soda on your frame, use a fabric spray instead.
• Vacuum your bed weekly. Don’t let the dust go deep into the padding. Remove it before it evolves into a severe problem.

Remove the stains gently, do not rub or use too much water or a fabric cleaner. Clean the stain by dabbing then blotting it instead of rubbing. Use mildly warm soap water or dish soap. Before using any chemical on the upholstery, make a small test on a hidden sport if it won’t harm the fabric or the color.

In this post, I collected many choices of beautiful upholstered bed frames. You will find a wide selection of colors, forms, and price. Just take your time, and enjoy browsing and searching.
