Leather & Faux Leather Beds

What’s the difference between real leather and faux leather?

Both leather and faux leather beds are an eye-catching statement piece for any bedroom and many people enjoy the luxury aesthetic that these beds provide. These types of bed frame provides the ultimate in style and comfort, and are an opulent choice, especially for a master bedroom. These beds also have their own benefits:

Leather Beds are made from natural materials that are durable and long-lasting. The texture of this material is smooth and has a characteristic scent. Real leather beds are the ultimate in luxury, though they do require a fair amount of maintenance to keep them looking their best.

Faux leather beds, on the other hand, are made from a fabric base that’s treated to give it the look and feel of real leather. The synthetic material is animal cruelty-free and is a cheaper option than real leather. Maintenance of faux leather beds is also cheaper than real leather. A faux leather bed is a great option if you like the look and feel of real leather, but have a limited budget, want something that's easier to maintain, or want a cruelty-free option.

What different types can I get?

Our leather and faux leather bed frames come in a wide range of colours and styles to suit any bedroom décor. From dark colours such as brown or a black leather bed, you can create a sophisticated centrepiece in the bedroom. Even if you have a small bedroom, a darker option, such as a black leather bed, can create a dramatic look without making the room look smaller. Simply match the darker bed with lighter walls and plenty of light to make the room look spacious.

Faux leather beds with storage

Faux leather ottoman beds offer extra storage with a lift-up base, conveniently hiding bedding, cushions, and other household items within the under-bed storage. This storage leather bed is ideal for bedrooms that are short on space. For an eye-catching finishing touch, add a matching faux leather head-board to your faux leather ottoman bed base.

Leather sleigh beds

For the ultimate in statement beds, a leather sleigh bed is the choice to go for. These beds feature an elegant scrolled head and footboard, giving this type of bedframe a dis-tinctive look. A popular style statement, a sleigh bed in leather creates a lavish look in any room. Available in sizes from double leather bed to super king, these are a sumptuous centre-piece for a master bedroom.

Just be aware that these beds are larger than beds of the same size, as the headboard and footboard take up extra space, so they are not suitable for small rooms. Though if this isn't a problem, a leather sleigh bed can be an eye-catching addition to a luxury bedroom.

Faux leather low rise bedframes

For those short on space, a storage bed is not the only option for opening up a room. A faux leather low rise bedframe can help to give the feeling of space in a small room. Just because you have a small room, doesn't mean you have to sacrifice style and elegance.

Sizes for every bedroom

Leather and faux leather beds are available in a variety of sizes too. From smaller sizes such as small double and double leather beds for couples or singles who like more space as they sleep, to super king leather beds for the ultimate decadence. Leather bed frames aren't restricted to being a statement in a master bedroom either. Why not add a beautiful leather or faux leather bed to a guest room, so your guests will feel like they are sleeping in a 5-star hotel whenever they stay?
