Designer Advice:
Although the neutral colors of this bed frame make it easy to decorate with a variety of colors, we think that it would look exceptionally stunning in a dark-themed bedroom. Perhaps you can paint an accent wall in a cool tone like midnight blue or dark gray, or swap your bedding for something darker.

Streamlined Low Bed Frame King
Ebern Designs
Perfect For: Modern, industrial, and loft-style bedrooms
What We Like: Two-tone appearance
Not So Good For: People with knee and lower back problems
Available in gray wash or chestnut brown, this low-profile king bed channels a modern-meets-industrial aesthetic that is both stylish and timeless. The frame, being solidly built of steel, is kept rather minimal, while the bamboo footboard adds a warm note to the overall design. Sitting fairly low to the ground, it has a height of only 6 inches with a weight capacity of 700 lbs.
Designer Advice:
If you’re looking for a platform bed that is equal parts durable, fashionable, and stable, this award-winning furniture piece won’t disappoint. Another perk is that it includes all the tools and instructions needed for a quick, hassle-free setup. Just note that because the frame is of metal, we recommend using felt pads to protect your floors from scratches.
What Users Say:
Great low and stable bed. Easy to put together, took me 5-10 minutes. Highly recommended!

Modern king size low bed frame
Relying on solid wood but resulting in a luxurious dark teal finish thanks to its performance fabric upholstery, the headboard of this low profile king bed frame is extremely attention-grabbing with its patterned nailhead trims.

Designer Advice:
Given its bold hue, we only recommend this frame if your bedroom walls are white or light-colored. Otherwise, it could end up looking a bit too heavy.

Upholstered Low Profile King Bed Frame with Headboard
Greyleigh™
Perfect For: Classic and contemporary interior styles
What We Like: Feminine design
What We Don’t Like: Lightweight
Classy and charming, this king-size bed surely makes a grand centerpiece in the bedroom. It is made from a blend of solid and manufactured wood and then padded with foam for upgraded comfort. Adding to that, a soft-to-touch linen fabric in warm gray, light gray, or blue envelopes the entire piece. The highlight of this bed, though, is the wingback headboard, which has been beautifully embellished with button tufting and nailhead trim.
Designer Advice:
This beauty proves that not all low-profile beds have to look modern and minimalist. Conversely, it has more of a traditional feel to it that fits right in with classic furnishings, such as a crystal chandelier, long drapes, and a French end-of-bed bench. On another note, it gives luxury hotel vibes when paired with contemporary decors, like a geometric rug or bedside pendant lights.
What Users Say:
Beautiful and well made. Adds a touch of elegance to our bedroom!
