Victorian bed frames are as popular now as they’ve ever been. Some of the endearing qualities of Victorian bed frames is that they never go out of fashion, the style and detailing is always pleasing on the eye and the quality of build can be amazing.

Choosing the right Victorian bed frame for you is something to consider carefully. Do you want your Victorian bed frame to be an exact replica from days gone by? Or do you want your bed to be Victorian in style, but a with little more of a modern twist?

Here at UK Bed Store, we sell a fabulous collection of Victorian style bed frames by the Original Bedstead Company (OBC). They create fabulous reproductions of genuine beds of old from the very best cast metals. The weight of them gives the quality away immediately.

A beautiful example of a Victorian bed frame is above, the Ardmore from OBC. This amazing bed frame has ornate cast detailing and will last you for years to come.

The popularity of fabric upholstered beds has increased dramatically over the last year or so. At UK Bed Store, we are not at all surprised as a plush, fabric upholstered bed frame feels both comfortable and cosy. Almost like having your favourite couch or sofa turned into a bed! What’s more, fabric upholstered beds come in a range of styles and colours too. From neutral beige and light browns, to opulent and sumptuous mink, fabric upholstered bed frames are both a fashionable and practical piece of furniture.

Stylish Upholstered Beds To Suit All Budgets

You can have a beautiful fabric upholstered bed frame for an unbelievably low price too. The cost of a fabric bed frame is a lot less than you think. Fabric upholstered bed frames look very expensive, but can be purchased for a cheap bed frame price.

The Parent’s Guide To Mid Sleeper Beds

As a parent, you want your little one’s to sleep peacefully. You may think this solely depends on how much sugar they’ve had during the day, but the choice of bed also comes into play. Every child gets to a certain age where they grow out of their toddler bed (even though you wish they could stop growing up so fast!)

If you’re a parent and looking to promote your child to a bigger bed, but they are not quite ready for a single bed yet, the mid sleeper bed is the ideal choice. In this guide, we will look at why you should choose one for your child and list the differences between them and bunk beds, a bed which they are commonly confused with.

Why Choose A Mid Sleeper Bed For Your Child?

There are many reasons why you should choose a mid sleeper bed for your child over other types of children’s beds. These include:

Space-Saving – One of the best features is their space-saving design. Unlike a traditional single bed that rests directly on the floor, mid sleeper beds provide valuable space underneath for a cosy play area or additional storage. This is ideal for bedrooms with limited space.

Versatile – Mid sleeper beds are incredibly versatile and adaptable to the developing and growing needs of your child. As they grow, the under-bed space can be repurposed into a study nook for doing homework. This makes it a long-term investment that evolves with your child’s needs.

Suitable For Various Age Groups – Thanks to its unique design, the mid sleeper bed is suitable for various age groups. From toddler years when safety rails are a priority to pre-teen years when the under-bed space can be transformed into a functional area, providing a seamless and cost-effective transition.

What is The Difference Between Bunk Beds and Mid Sleeper Beds?

Bunk beds are another popular choice for children’s bedrooms. Some parents may find it hard to decide between bunk beds or mid sleeper beds. The main differences between bunk beds and mid sleeper beds include:

Design – At a glance, bunk beds are designed with two stacked beds, one above the other. Making them ideal for two siblings or children. As we have learned earlier, mid sleeper beds consist of one bed elevated at a moderate height and equipped with a safe ladder for access, providing more under-bed space.

Adaptability – Bunk beds and mid sleeper beds are both suitable for various ages. However, children may reach an age in their pre-teens where they desire their own bedroom and bed, making mid sleeper beds more adaptable as your child grows.
