Upholstered Bed Frame

An upholstered bed refers to any bed frame covered in fabric. It features a flat, usually solid wood or metal base that's meant to support a mattress without the help of box springs. You can buy separate upholstered exteriors like a headboard to surround a traditional bed frame, or you can buy a complete upholstered bed base to use on its own. Some upholstered platform bed frames, like the Casper Haven, already come with an upholstered headboard.

At Casper, our fabric bed frame acts as your bed base for your mattress, too. No need for an additional frame, foundation, or box spring — just lay down your mattress and sleep easy!

If you prefer a clean, minimalist look or a lower bed height, an upholstered bed might be the right choice for you. Our bed frame features foam padding and an extra two inches around the perimeter to protect your shins when getting in and out of bed. Additionally, upholstered bed frames add a touch of elegance and style to your bedroom, complementing your wall decor and overall bedroom furniture for a cohesive look.

Some models might—but not ours! 

Casper’s Upholstered Bed Frame is a two-in-one frame and foundation. The solid wood and steel interior provides strong support for your mattress without slippery bases or wobbly frames that mess with your sleep. The design includes slats for extra support, making it the perfect bed for a good night's sleep.

Furniture upholstering can quickly become very pricey. A full bed upholstering job will cost anywhere from $400 to $1200—and that’s not including the frame. With Casper, you can buy a king or queen upholstered fabric bed frame and foundation for much less — some complete with a stylish upholstered headboard.

The Upholstered Bed Frame has a simple and hassle free 1 tool assembly. It takes about 30 minutes to assemble but depending on the size, you may want an extra pair of hands to make things easier.

With the right tools and a little effort, cleaning upholstered furniture is easy. Ten minutes of vacuuming and disinfecting each week should quickly refresh most upholstered beds. Treating stains on your fabric bed frame is a bit trickier, but with gentle soap and fabric spot solutions, you can reverse the noticeable effects of pet accidents or food spills.

When cleaning your upholstered fabric bed frame the key is to be consistent and gentle. You’ll want to maintain a weekly cleaning schedule and an effective stain removal routine to keep upholstery fresh.

Weekly Cleaning

1. Vacuum – Vacuum all upholstery, preferably with a brush attachment.

2. Fabric Cleaner – Apply an appropriate cleaning solution for your upholstery. Spot test the solution prior to check for any discoloration or degradation.

3. Disinfectant – Spray a fabric-friendly and safe disinfectant across all surfaces.

With their luxurious, clean lines, upholstered bed frames can significantly enhance the overall style and elegance of your space. They seamlessly blend with other elements of your bedroom furniture, and their fabric finish can be an excellent contrast to a metal bed frame or other solid materials, bringing a cozy, warm aesthetic to your bedroom. Whether you're after a contemporary, minimalist, or a classic look, an upholstered platform bed frame can help you achieve the perfect bed setting you've always desired.
