Finding the Right Beds and Bed Frames for You

We find relaxation and solace in our bedrooms, which are often the most cherished rooms of a home. Your antique, new or vintage bed and bed frame are integral to this oasis of personal comfort.

Beds and bed frames have long been an important part of the sanctuary that is the bedroom. For the upper class in countries such as England, the massive, costly beds of the 16th and 17th centuries were decorative and of the poster variety. Some were characterized by large painted wooden headboards, often made of oak, that featured ornate carvings and richly colored curtains affixed to each of the two or four posts — think of today’s sumptuous upholstered headboards as a distant cousin to these luxurious furnishings. The heavy fabric curtains were drawn across a fringed canopy to close out the sunlight that might’ve warmed your grandiose and opulent bedchambers. This feature could also offer privacy as desired, because, as we all know, a bedroom is for more than just sleeping

Coiled springs didn’t make their way into mattresses until the 1800s, which likely made for a far more comfortable night’s sleep for many. Bed frames of cast iron and brass were introduced during the mid- to late-19th century. Later, the 20th century brought with it marvelous innovations for slumberland, among them daybeds from the likes of George Nelson and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Lilly Reich as well as convertible sofa beds.

Today, you will find a range of beds geared toward your individual personality and preferred style of decor. When shopping for a bed and bed frame, keep in mind that you’ve got options. Sizes range from twin to California king. At 76 inches wide and 80 inches long, a king-size bed is roughly 16 inches wider than a queen-size mattress, and your bed frame will likely add two to five inches to each side. (The California king bed is 84 inches long.)

From dramatic bedroom designs to uncomplicated, minimalist approaches, the bedroom has evolved into the haven that it should be: a peaceful place of respite, where we begin and end every day. Take the time to create your very own oasis — you deserve it. Rest easy with an expansive collection of antique, new and vintage beds and bed frames available on 1stDibs.

Questions About Headboards with Lights
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023
    A floating headboard is a headboard that is mounted on a wall rather than secured to a bed frame. Some people refer to this type of headboard as a hanging headboard due to its placement. On 1stDibs, find a selection of headboards from some of the world's top sellers.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    Because it is not necessary to purchase a headboard with an accompanying bed frame, purchasing the headboard alone is a great way to save money.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    Headboards serve an important purpose: They protect your wall against abrasion and support the rest of the bed. Also, headboards give your bed a unique look and, depending on which one you get, can be comfortable to lean on.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    The point of a headboard is to provide support and protect your wall against abrasion. In addition to these practical functions, a headboard also adds a personal touch to any room.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Whether or not cane headboards are sturdy depends on how they are made. Finely crafted headboards are generally durable. However, antique and vintage examples that have become warped or damaged over time may not be sturdy even if initially well-made. Shop a selection of cane headboards on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 3, 2023
    Whether a headboard has a universal fit depends on the specific circumstances. If your bed frame is a standard size, then all headboards of that size should fit properly. However, headboards won't necessarily fit all custom-sized bed frames. Shop a collection of headboards on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023
    Whether a headboard should be wider than a mattress is largely a matter of personal preference. Generally, a headboard should be as wide as a mattress or 2 to 4 inches wider to create a balanced look. Find a collection of headboards from some of the world's top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2021
    The best fabric for a tufted headboard depends mainly on one's preference and how the rest of the bedroom is decorated. However, velvet and leather are commonly used for upholstered headboards. Shop a collection of antique, vintage, and contemporary upholstered beds from some of the world’s top dealers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021

  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    While queen sized beds are 6 inches wider than full sized beds, you can often use a queen size headboard for a full mattress. Headboards are usually even with or a few inches wider than the bed.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
