What Features Are Most Important When Choosing a Bed?
- Some beds require a traditional box spring or a foundation, while others use slats to support your mattress without the use of a box spring. A platform bed is a modern approach to skipping the foundation and opting for simplicity.
- With a number of incredible design features, you’re sure to find the bed that speaks to your own style and sets the ideal tone in your space. Choose a platform bed for a minimalist approach, go for a design that incorporates storage to maximize your space, or use a canopy bed to add dimension and height. Opt for a highly-detailed headboard to make a statement, or choose a design that incorporates built-in nightstands for its unique, space-saving benefits.
- The color of bed you choose is a direct reflection of your individual tastes. Neutral tones easily complement any existing decor, from farmhouse to mid-century modern to contemporary and everything in between. Incorporate a deep, rich shade of gray or black to make a bold statement. Take advantage of natural wood grain textures and hues to draw inspiration from nature itself.
- Your lifestyle is an important consideration when selecting the perfect modern king bed. If you have pets who like to scratch at your wood surfaces, a metal frame may be the best choice for you. If you have young children, embrace their playful personalities by opting for an upholstered bed with padded corners. If you’re searching for an heirloom-quality, timeless design, wood is a material that never goes out of style.

- What are the Dimensions of a King Size Bed?
While king size bed frames may differ slightly due to headboard thickness or additional accents, king size beds are typically 76” x 80” and are perfect for a couple or for those who really enjoy stretching out.
- What Size Rug for King Bed?
Since a standard king size bed measures 76 inches wide, a 10’ x 8’ rug ensures you have 18-24 inches of space around your bed providing a soft touch underfoot as you get in and out. You may also opt to not have your rug fully under your bed in which case, as long as there are at least 18-24 inches on either side of your bed frame, it should look proportionate to your modern king bed.
- How Many Pillows on a King Bed?
In the end, this is up to your personal comfort and aesthetic needs. For a king size bed, there are many ways to arrange your pillows, with some being more formal than others. Stack, prop, mix sizes, and decorative shapes and textures, to achieve a custom look that is all your own. For a more formal look, start with three European-sized pillows layered with two king-sized pillows, and then finish with two 20”x20” decorative pillows centered in front of the king size shams.
