Shop by Colour
Plush Velvet’s biggest advantage over most single-colour bed ranges is choice: you’re not picking a size and hoping the one available colour works with your room; you’re picking the palette first. Grey remains the most popular starting point because it sits neutrally against almost any wall colour and bedding scheme, but the range runs from soft, warm neutrals to bold, deep tones.
- Grey Plush Velvet, the most versatile option, works with warm or cool bedroom palettes
- Black Plush Velvet, a statement choice for contemporary and monochrome rooms
- Cream Plush Velvet, softens a room and pairs well with wood tones
- Silver Plush Velvet, cooler and lighter than grey, suits minimalist schemes
- Pink Plush Velvet, a softer statement tone, popular in main and guest bedrooms alike
- Mink Plush Velvet, a warm neutral between beige and grey
- Charcoal Plush Velvet, deeper and moodier than standard grey
- Champagne Plush Velvet, a warm, muted gold-neutral
- Beige Plush Velvet, the softest, most traditional neutral in the range
Each colour is available across the full Plush Velvet size and style range. Browse by shade first, then narrow down by size and frame type once you’ve found your tone.
Shop by Size
Every Plush Velvet bed frame, ottoman, and divan is made to order in five core sizes, so your fabric and colour choice doesn’t limit which size fits your room. Pricing scales predictably as sizes increase: Single is the base price, Double adds £25, King adds £75, and Super King adds £100; fabric and colour choices don’t change that pricing structure.
- Single, ideal for children’s rooms, guest rooms and box rooms
- Small Double, a practical step up for single-occupant rooms with a little more space
- Double, the standard choice for most UK main bedrooms
- King, extra width and length for couples wanting more room
- Super King, the largest size, suited to larger master bedrooms
If you’re unsure which size will physically fit, measure your room first. A Super King needs more clearance on each side than a Double, meaningfully, and that matters more with a heavier upholstered frame than with a slimline metal one.
Shop by Frame Style
Plush Velvet isn’t tied to one frame shape; it’s available across every style Style Beds makes so that you can choose the fabric and frame shape independently.
Plush Velvet Bed Frames are the standard slatted-base option: a fully upholstered headboard and frame with no built-in storage, available across nine headboard heights from 50″ up to 90″.
Ottoman Beds with Storage replace the standard base with a lift-up storage compartment, giving you under-mattress storage without a separate frame; see the section below for how the two lifting mechanisms differ.
Divan Beds pair a Plush Velvet headboard with a divan base rather than a slatted frame, and can be specified with or without storage drawers built into the base itself.
Chesterfield and Wingback Styles bring deep-buttoned or panelled headboard detailing to the Plush Velvet fabric, for a more traditional or formal bedroom look than a flat panel headboard.
Sleigh Beds curve the footend and headboard into a continuous shape, upholstered fully in Plush Velvet rather than left as bare wood or metal.
Ottoman Storage Explained
An ottoman base turns the space under your mattress into usable storage by hinging the whole bed base upward, and Style Beds offers this in two mechanisms. Standard ottoman storage (no gas lift) lifts manually and suits lighter mattresses or households that won’t open it daily. Gas-lift ottoman storage, a £110 upgrade, uses hydraulic struts to lift the base with minimal effort, even under a heavier mattress, and holds itself open safely while you load or unload; it’s worth the upgrade if you’ll use the storage regularly rather than for occasional seasonal items.
How Much Space You Gain
The storage void runs the full footprint of the mattress size you choose, so a King ottoman base holds noticeably more than a Single, in practice, enough for bedding, out-of-season clothing, or spare pillows and duvets that would otherwise need a separate blanket box. It’s the main reason Style Beds’ Space-Maximiser customers, typically urban, storage-conscious buyers, gravitate toward ottoman bases over standard slatted frames.
Why Plush Velvet, Handcrafted in Dewsbury
Every Plush Velvet bed is handcrafted in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, rather than mass-produced or imported as a flat-pack kit; the upholstery, frame assembly and finishing all happen in the same workshop. That matters for a fabric like Plush Velvet in particular, where how tightly and evenly the velvet is pulled over the frame panels affects how the finished piece looks for years, not just on day one.
Three guarantees back every order: a 3-year warranty covering the frame and upholstery, a 30-night home trial so you can live with the size, colour and firmness before committing, and free UK delivery on every size. Together, they’re designed to remove the two biggest risks of buying a bed: you can’t sit on it first, and you can’t get the size or colour wrong once it’s in the room.
How to Choose Your Size & Headboard Height
Bed size and headboard height are two separate decisions, and it’s worth making them in that order: choose size first based on your room and mattress needs, then choose headboard height based on how the finished bed will sit against your wall and window lines.
Style Beds’ bed frames come in nine headboard heights, from a low-profile 50″ base option up to a tall 90″ statement headboard, with six heights in between (54″, 60″, 65″, 70″, 75″, 80″, 85″). As a rough guide: rooms with a low ceiling, a window positioned close behind the bed, or a preference for a minimal look tend to suit the 50″–65″ range. Rooms with higher ceilings, more wall space behind the bed, or a preference for a bolder, hotel-style look tend to suit 70″ and above. Ambassador beds, a separate range, are offered in four heights only (50″, 54″, 60″, 65″), so check which range you’re browsing if a taller headboard is the priority.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is plush velvet the same as velvet?
Not quite. “Velvet” is the general fabric category, a pile weave. At the same time, Plush Velvet is a specific, denser-pile version of it, chosen for how well it holds its shape and colour depth on furniture rather than for drape, which is what a dressmaking velvet is optimised for.
Does plush velvet mark or shed?
Like most velvets, Plush Velvet can show temporary pile-direction marks (a lighter or darker patch where the pile has been brushed one way); these aren’t permanent and usually smooth out when brushed back or after light contact. It doesn’t shed loose fibres in normal use, unlike some lower-pile alternatives.
Which colours work in small bedrooms?
Lighter shades, Cream, Silver, beige, and Champagne, tend to make a small room feel more open, since they don’t visually shrink the wall space the headboard sits against. Darker tones like Charcoal or Black can still work in a small room, but they’ll read as a deliberate statement piece rather than a neutral backdrop, so they suit rooms with good natural light more than dim ones.
