If you’re going for the luxury look in your bedroom, you can’t go wrong with a sleigh bed to create a show-stopping centrepiece.
Sleigh beds have a grand appearance with a curved or scrolled footboard/headboard to model the silhouette of a sleigh. This silhouette has a luxurious presence, transforming any bedroom into a comfortable space with character.
The beauty of sleigh beds is you can also get them with drawers or an ottoman base, giving you lots of storage space for bedding and stuff.
This article reveals the most stylish sleigh beds for luxury bedrooms with prices from £399 to £739 for a king (doubles are around 20% less).
Let’s jump in!
What is a sleigh bed?
Sleigh beds are a style of bed frame where the headboard is scrolled (rounded), with some beds also having a high, scrolled footboard. This classical style looks expensive and is reminiscent of the shape of large beds in stately homes.
An unspoken benefit of sleigh beds with a high footboard is you can use the footboard as a bench due to the width and cushioning of the scroll.
Best sleigh beds that ooze luxury
Without further ado, here are our favourite luxury sleigh beds:
Urban Beds Aspire Chesterfield (£469, king)
The Urban Beds Aspire Chesterfield offers fantastic value for money with a side-opening ottoman mattress base for storage and plush grey velvet upholstery. It has a high footboard for a stately appearance and high-quality button detailing.
The button detailing is stitched into the headboard/footboard with a quilted pattern for the looks of a bed frame costing twice as much.
This bed frame sits practically flush with the floor, making it ideal for hard floor surfaces and creating a seamless appearance in your bedroom.
Birlea Marlow (£599, king)
If you prefer a low footboard so that it’s easier to jump into bed, the Birlea Marlow is a fantastic option. It has a scrolled headboard with deep padding and button detailing and a low footboard with dark wooden legs for a touch of class.
It also offers two spacious drawers built into the base of the bed, offering vast storage space for extra bedding, clothes, and bits and bats.
The deep padded, tufted headboard is lovely to sit up against in bed, and the plush upholstery oozes class to give your bedroom luxurious vibes.
Birlea Valento (£649, king)
Available with grey or charcoal velvet upholstery, the Birlea Valento is a contemporary sleigh bed with a scrolled headboard and a low footboard. The low footboard makes it easy to jump into bed and takes up less visual space – ideal for small bedrooms.
The Valento also has two in-built foot-end drawers for storage and extensive padding in the headboard for comfortable reading.
The headboard is an impressive shape, with scrolled upholstery fitted to a square base for a square, geometric appearance that oozes quality.
Bedmr Oxford & Copenhagen (£679, £699, king)
The Bedmr Oxford (grey) and Copenhagen (warm stone) are beautifully made sleigh beds with diamond quilting, sewn buttons, and attractive arched scrolls. They are perfect for any bedroom with an eclectic or transitional style.
The arched headboard and footboard set this sleigh bed apart from the crowd, creating an organic shape with bundles of character.
Although you can’t customise this sleigh bed with different fabrics, the velvet is gorgeous and of a similar quality to that found on beds costing three times more.
Flair Lucinda (£739, king)
We end our list with a sleigh bed fit for stately homes. The Flair Lucinda (available in grey or beige) is a side-lift ottoman sleigh bed with a stunning high headboard, footboard, deep padding, and a luxurious Chesterfield button pattern.
The luxurious velvet fabric has pin detailing at the sides of the headboard and footboard for an additional touch of class.
We adore this sleigh bed’s elegant soft-touch fabric, stylish buttons, thick padding, and high headboard, which give it a stately appearance.
