A lot of thought goes into buying a mattress. You consider your sleeping position, preferred firmness and favoured materials, and may even choose one with a trial period in case you get it wrong.
The bed frame, by contrast, is often an afterthought. If it looks good, is easy to clean beneath and doesn’t creak at night, it usually makes the cut. But the humble bed frame has come a long way, so why not expect more from it?
At King Living, that means seeing a bed frame as more than just a headboard, four legs, and a place to rest your mattress. Think intelligent features that make thoughtful use of space while contributing to a more comfortable and functional bedroom.
Clever additions, seamlessly integrated
In bedrooms where space is carefully considered, additional furniture can quickly compete for valuable floor area. Yet, there is still a need for everyday essentials such as a bedside surface, charging point and reading light.
King Living’s Smart Accessories integrate these everyday functions directly into the Horizon Bed. The Smart Charge Table, for instance, rotates 360 degrees and comes with optional wireless charging, giving you a convenient bedside surface while keeping cables and additional furniture to a minimum.
The Horizon Bed’s optional side panels fold inwards to create a cosy retreat.
The Lume Light is similarly streamlined. This gesture-controlled LED light rotates 360 degrees and remembers your preferred brightness, so switching it on in the middle of the night returns it to the same gentle glow.
The clever part is how little visual impact these additions have. The bedhead measures just 9cm wide, with mounting points concealed behind discreet zips to preserve its tailored appearance.
Storage hiding in plain sight
The space beneath a queen- or king-sized mattress presents a valuable opportunity for additional storage. The catch, though, is that storage beds can be bulky, with deep bases that add visual weight and make an already compact bedroom feel more cramped.
The Jasper Bed, on the other hand, has all the practicality of a storage bed without looking the part. Sitting lower to the ground, it feels more grounded and unobtrusive, helping to preserve the proportions of the room.
The Jasper Bed’s integrated timber shelf doubles as a bedside table and can be fitted with optional wireless charging.
Access is easy, too. Easy-lift gas struts help raise the mattress platform smoothly with minimal effort, revealing plenty of space for suitcases, spare bedding and other bulky items you’d rather keep out of sight.
Comfort beyond sleep
The bed isn’t just where we sleep; it’s also where we wind down before calling it a night. That’s why many of King Living’s beds are designed to be just as comfortable sitting up as lying down.
Take the Neo Bed. Its plush twin bedhead doubles as a supportive backrest, making it comfortable to sit upright while reading or unwinding. Rather than treating the bedhead as purely decorative, its design considers how you use the bed throughout the day.
The Neo Bed’s rounded, padded base brings softness to its form while creating a more comfortable experience around the bed.
For greater flexibility, the Motion Bed Collection introduces adjustable positioning. Using a wireless remote, you can quietly raise the head or foot of the mattress to find a position that feels just right. Whether you’re reading, watching TV or simply putting your feet up after a long day, the bed can adapt to how you want to relax.
As the bedroom evolves, it makes sense that the bed frame is evolving with it. More than simply supporting a mattress, considered bed design can contribute to the comfort, functionality and overall experience of the room.
