Bunk Bed A childhood staple, bunk beds are the ultimate space-maximizing solution (and a sleepover favorite!). There are four main styles to choose from: 1. Standard: Two stacked beds. 2. Loft: One raised bed with a workspace underneath. 3. Trundle: A standard bunk bed with a pull-out trundle bed. 4. Futon: A lofted bed with a futon underneath.

Daybed This multifunctional option doubles as a sofa (so they’re twin sized only) and is meant to be placed against the wall. The headboard and footboard of a daybed act as the sofa arms, and some styles also have a sideboard that stands in for a sofa back. Some daybeds come with a trundle bed that fits […]

Canopy The sister of the four poster, canopy beds feature the same rising posts but with crossbeams that connect them at the top. Classically outfitted with a canopy of fabric, which can be pulled closed or tied open, modern versions of this bed trade that romantic aesthetic for the crisp look of straight, unadorned lines. Given their […]

Four Poster Dating back to the 16th century, four poster beds are defined by the decorative posts that rise up from each of the corners. These beds typically include a headboard but no footboard. The height of the posts varies by style and ranges from just clearing the mattress to almost ceiling height. The four posts usually […]

Sleigh The distinctive arched shape of the headboard (and footboard, if there is one) evokes the curves of an old-fashioned sleigh, giving this bed its name. Sleigh beds are one of the more substantial options, as the shape claims additional floorspace. Traditional styles feature the classic hefty headboard and footboard, while modern interpretations streamline the look […]

Platform A staple of mid-century modern design, the platform bed has clean lines and is most often seen in rich natural woods. This bed sits much lower to the ground than traditional styles and typically has a headboard but no footboard. It can have a solid base or the delicate legs that epitomize this period of design. Platform […]

Headboard and Footboard This basic framework comprises a vast range of iconic bed styles—from metal trundle beds to wood panel styles and more. The headboard is almost always taller than the footboard, and any detailing is usually reflected across both. This type of bed can be found with storage-friendly additions, like bookcase headboards or under-bed […]

Headboard and Side Rails This ubiquitous type lets the headboard take center stage, with simple rails composing the other three sides. The no-footboard style is most often paired with upholstered headboard and matching rails, but is prevalent in wood as well—especially in modern designs, which favor its simple lines. The continuation of the material from […]
