King Size Bed Benches

Jump To Our Picks

If you have a particularly large bed, a king size bed bench will allow you to achieve a balanced result from a decorative standpoint since a bench should be around three quarters of your frame width. Don’t forget that the right design for you will depend on your room’s decor but also on the actual bed frame. To help you find one that ticks both boxes, our interior design experts have scouted for a varied range of large bed benches.

King Size Bed Benches

Buying Guide

Deciding which furniture you want to have in your bedroom can take a while. A bed is the obvious choice, but what about all the other extras? A king size bed bench is a great accessory if you want to add a warm and cozy touch in the form of a practical piece of bedroom furniture. Here are some of the styles which are available.

What is the most popular design of bed bench?

Perhaps the most popular style of bedroom bench that you'll come across is an ottoman bed bench. You may also find it being referred to as an 'ottoman' or 'ottoman storage'. This popular style can be seen within beds too, when the base lifts to reveal plenty of storage inside.

Leather: A sleek look for any bedroom, this style is well suited for beds which have a matching leather headrest. There are four sturdy but short wooden or chrome legs which carry the bed bench, while the bench itself is often covered with a brown or cream leather and padded with comfortable stuffing. Open up the bench and you can store your bedding, clothing and other items inside the felt layered box.
Fabric: Comfortable to sit on and convenient when used as a storage box, the fabric ottoman bed benches can be seen in many different colors, including beige, blues, pinks and browns. A soft linen look which surrounds the bed bench enables you to create warmer hues within the bedroom.

What is the best design of bed bench for a contemporary bedroom?

Mixing contemporary looks with a traditional style, a simple and sleek bed bench might not have storage like the ottoman bench, but it still provides extra seating in the bedroom. You can also store things underneath the bench, even although it won't be hidden away or contained.

This style normally consists of a cushioned top for sitting on, supported by a thin chrome or metal frame. The frame may be wooden although this is more typical of traditional benches rather than the modern style. Some bed benches are adjustable and you will find a mechanism at the side to adjust the bench accordingly.

What are the features of cabinet bed benches?

A king size cabinet bed bench is very spacious to allow easy storage of items. This at first looks like a TV cabinet or other shorter cabinet, but a foam or padded cushion along the top soon gives the game away that this can also be used for seating.

Most typically made from wood, these bed benches are almost the same length as the width of your king size bed. This means you'll generally be looking at bed benches which are around 4-5 feet in length. The cabinet bed benches have individual compartments and drawers within which you can store clothing, books, paperwork or makeup and jewelry. Gold or silver door handles on each of the drawers add an elegant and stylish look to the bedroom, and you will find this style in a vintage shabby chic “worn” design if you're looking for something a little unique for your home.
