Velvet Bed Frames, Every Size & Colour, Handcrafted in Yorkshire

Style Beds’ velvet bed frames come in five sizes, 26 shades of Plush Velvet, and nine headboard heights so that you can match the frame to your room rather than the other way round. Every frame is hand-upholstered in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, and backed by a 3-year warranty and a 30-night trial.

Shop Velvet Bed Frames by Size

Velvet bed frames are available in Single, Small Double, Double, King, and Super King, so your fabric and headboard choices aren’t limited to one room size. Single is the base price, with Double adding £25, King adding £75, and Super King adding £100; the size upgrade costs less than most people expect once the frame is already upholstered in the same fabric run.

Choosing a size usually comes down to the room, not the mattress alone. A Small Double suits a single occupant who wants extra shoulder room without losing floor space. At the same time, a King or Super King is worth the extra cost if the headboard is the room’s focal point; a taller, wider frame reads as a genuine style statement rather than just a bigger mattress base.

Shop by Colour

Style Beds’ Plush Velvet comes in 26 colours, from soft neutrals to deep, saturated statement shades, all available across every size and headboard height. Because the whole range is offered in one fabric, you’re not choosing between colour and quality; the same handcrafted finish applies whichever shade you pick.

Neutral Velvet Shades

Grey, beige, and mink are the most requested neutrals, and for good reason: they sit comfortably with existing bedroom furniture and don’t date as quickly as trend colours. A neutral velvet frame also suits a wider range of buyers if the bed is ever resold or the room is redecorated, since the fabric reads as considered rather than of-the-moment.

Bold & Statement Colours

Navy, emerald, and blush are popular where the bed frame is meant to anchor the room rather than blend into it. A bold velvet headboard works best against a simpler backdrop; plain walls and neutral bedding let the fabric’s colour and texture do the work, rather than competing with patterned wallpaper or busy soft furnishings.

Headboard Heights, From Low-Profile to Statement Tall

Style Beds’ velvet bed frames come in nine headboard heights, from a low-profile 50″ to a statement 90″, so the headboard can sit as a subtle backdrop or the room’s dominant feature. Height is priced in stages: 50″ is included as standard, rising in increments to £180 for the full 90″ option.

Which Height Suits a Low Ceiling?

In a room with a lower ceiling, a 50″–65″ headboard keeps proportions balanced and prevents the frame from overwhelming the space. A tall headboard in a compact room can make the ceiling feel closer than it is, whereas a lower profile leaves the wall above visible and the room feeling more open.

Choosing a Tall Headboard for a Statement Wall

When you have the height and wall space, a 75″–90″ headboard makes the bed the room’s focal point without extra artwork or wall panelling behind it. This is a common choice behind a King or Super King frame, where the wider base already draws the eye, and a taller headboard completes the look rather than looking undersized.

Plush Velvet vs Crushed Velvet

Style Beds upholsters its bed frames in Plush Velvet, a smooth, densely woven pile that keeps its colour and texture evenly across the whole panel. Crushed velvet, by contrast, has a deliberately uneven, shimmering pile created by twisting the fabric during finishing, giving it a more textured, light-catching look but making it show pressure marks and flatten more readily over time.

Plush Velvet is the more practical choice for a bed frame that gets daily contact, leaning against the headboard, moving pillows, general use, because the pile resists flattening and doesn’t need regular brushing to look even. Crushed velvet suits buyers chasing a particular decorative effect but comes with more upkeep to keep that texture looking deliberate rather than worn.

How to Clean a Velvet Bed Frame

Regular care is straightforward: vacuum the fabric weekly with a soft upholstery brush attachment to lift dust before it settles into the pile, and address marks immediately with a clean, slightly damp cloth rather than scrubbing, which can flatten the fibres. For anything beyond light surface dirt, a professional upholstery clean is safer than a home carpet-cleaning product, since many of those are too harsh for velvet’s finish.

Ottoman & Divan Velvet Beds

For anyone who needs storage as well as style, Style Beds’ Ottoman Divans come in the same size range, with a gas-lift ottoman base for £110, or a standard slat or no-storage base at no extra cost. The ottoman mechanism lifts the entire mattress deck, giving full-width storage underneath rather than the narrower access of drawer-based storage beds, useful for bedding, seasonal clothing, or anything you want out of sight but still easy to reach.

An ottoman divan works particularly well in a smaller bedroom, where floor-standing storage furniture would eat into limited space. Choosing it in the same velvet fabric and colour as a standard bed frame keeps the room looking coordinated rather than like a storage solution has been bolted on.

Velvet TV Beds

A velvet TV bed lifts a television from a hidden compartment at the foot of the bed, keeping the room’s finished look with the screen out of sight when it’s not in use. Style Beds’ TV beds start at £849.99, come in seven fabrics including Plush Velvet, and can be specified with no storage, ottoman storage, or an ottoman gas lift for £110.

Because the lift mechanism sits at the foot of the bed rather than the head, a TV bed doesn’t compromise on headboard height or design; the same velvet colour and headboard options used on a standard frame carry across, so the room reads as a normal bedroom rather than a media room until the television is raised.

The Ambassador Collection

The Ambassador range brings the same handcrafted Plush Velvet finish to a distinct headboard design, available in four heights: 50″, 54″, 60″, and 65″, rather than the full nine-height range offered on standard bed frames. It suits buyers who want a defined, more compact headboard silhouette without the taller statement options.

Because Ambassador uses the same Plush Velvet fabric and colour range as the standard bed frame line, it’s straightforward to match an Ambassador headboard to other velvet pieces already in the room, or to choose it simply because its proportions suit the space better than a taller alternative.

Why Choose a Style Beds Velvet Frame

Every style Beds velvet bed frame is upholstered by hand in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, and comes with a 3-year warranty as standard, a length of cover that reflects confidence in the frame’s construction rather than just the fabric. Delivery is free across the UK, and every bed comes with a 30-night trial, so there’s time to live with the size, colour, and headboard height before committing.

Buying handcrafted rather than mass-produced also means small specification choices, a particular headboard height, or a less common colour don’t require a special order surcharge or a long lead time built around a factory minimum run.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is velvet good for a bed frame?

Yes, Plush Velvet in particular holds up well to daily use because its dense, even pile resists flattening better than looser-woven fabrics. It also feels soft and warm against the hands and back, which is part of why it’s remained a popular headboard fabric for bedrooms rather than just occasional furniture.

Is velvet bedding or upholstery hot to sleep with?

Velvet upholstery on a headboard doesn’t affect sleep temperature the way bedding fabric would, since it’s not in direct, prolonged contact with the body overnight. Any warmth associated with velvet comes from actual velvet bedding or throws, not from a velvet-covered frame or headboard.

What headboard height should I choose?

A 50″–65″ headboard suits smaller rooms or lower ceilings and keeps the frame in proportion with the rest of the furniture, while 70″–90″ suits larger rooms where the bed is meant to be the room’s main feature. As a rough guide, the taller the ceiling and the more open the wall space behind the bed, the more a taller headboard will look intentional rather than oversized.
