Modern Beds
In the flurry of furnishing a bedroom, it’s all too easy to opt for a practical bed frame — something that meets only the most basic criteria, such as elevating your mattress off of the floor. However, a modern bed frame should transcend pure functionality – good bed design is about the marriage of form and function. Not only should a well-designed bed be durable, but your bed frame and headboard should also be visually pleasing elements that make a statement, whether minimalist or traditional, mid-century modern or Bohemian-chic, in your bedroom. Well-chosen modern bedroom furniture has the power to transform a room from a mere place to sleep to a haven of rest and solace.
From contemporary bed frames to mid-century modern beds, in twin, full, queen, king, and California king sizes, Design Within Reach offers a range of types and styles to suit every interior.
Modern Bed Types
Platform Beds
Constructed of four simple legs and a slatted platform, platform bed frames are some of the simplest modern bed frames available. These minimalist beds are often made of solid wood, designed to be as sturdy as their box-spring counterparts with half the mass. Platform beds are mid-century modern favorites for their simplicity, as their exposed legs fit right in with the exposed legs characteristic of other mid-century modern furniture.
Upholstered Beds
Next, a modern upholstered bed is a stylish yet comfortable choice, especially if you spend time reading or watching television in bed. Designed with a plush headboard, this type can be covered in a plethora of materials, including bouclé, cotton twill, leather, tweed, and more. Some upholstered headboards showcase thoughtful design details, like topstitching, quilting, or button tufting.
Storage Beds
A bed frame with storage is a refreshingly modern design that plays double duty in the bedroom. Many frames feature underbed storage in the form of drawers that pull out for ease of access. While some are equipped with drawers that open from either side of the bed, others open from the foot of the bed. Choose a style according to the layout of your room and which side of the bed will be most easily accessible.
Daybeds
A modern daybed, usually designed for a twin- or full-sized mattress, features a sturdy bed frame. This type of bed encloses a mattress on three sides so that it can double as a sofa or love seat during the day. Daybeds are most often used as additional sleeping options in multipurpose spaces, as opposed to primary beds in bedrooms.
