Fabric & Upholstered Beds

What are fabric beds?

Fabric beds are bed frames that are upholstered in fabric. There are many different options available - from durable, easy-care fabrics, to soft velvet and many more. You can also choose from a wide range of fabric colours, styles and designs to perfectly suit your bedroom decor. This type of bed is supremely comfortable and gives your bedroom a cosy feel.

What does upholstered bed mean?

An upholstered bed is a bed frame covered with padding and fabric. This fabric (or upholstery) is wrapped over the bed frame and any padding. Examples of upholstery include woven fabrics, velvet, suede, faux leather and real leather.

Are fabric beds good?

Yes - they're a great choice if you want to add a softer, cosier feel to your bedroom. Since they're available in pretty much any colour, you can perfectly blend your bed with your decor - or create a statement instead! Fabric beds are stylish and available in a wide range of modern designs. They're also extra-comfy, thanks to their padded headboards - perfect for sitting up and reading in bed!

Are fabric beds hard to keep clean?

They're easy to keep clean but they do require a little more thought than cleaning a wooden or metal bed. To keep your fabric bed in great condition, simply:

Vacuum-clean your bed every week to remove dust, using the brush or upholstery attachment on your vacuum cleaner
Spot-clean any stains or spills, following the manufacturer's instructions carefully
Open your bedroom windows to improve ventilation and to reduce dust build-up
