Choosing a bed frame is one of the most significant design decisions you'll make for your bedroom. Two of the most popular styles — sleigh beds and panel beds — offer very different aesthetics.
What is a Sleigh Bed?
A sleigh bed is characterised by its curved, scrolled headboard and footboard — a statement piece with a rich, classic heritage. Browse our upholstered beds for sleigh-style options in a range of fabrics.
Best suited to: Traditional, transitional, and maximalist interiors. Larger bedrooms where the frame can be appreciated.
What is a Panel Bed?
A panel bed features a flat, structured headboard with clean lines and a minimal profile — the more versatile of the two styles. Explore our bed frames collection for a wide range of panel bed options.
Best suited to: Modern, Scandinavian, and minimalist interiors. Works well in both large and smaller bedrooms.
How to Choose
Choose a sleigh-style bed if you want a dramatic focal point and your interior leans traditional or luxurious.
Choose a panel bed if you prefer a cleaner, more contemporary look or have a smaller room.
Final Thoughts
