Who hasn’t dreamt of spending a night in a fairytale sleigh bed? If you’re one of those, we’ve curated the modern version of this fantasy. Some sleigh beds come with both a headboard and a footboard, adding to the cozy experience of crawling into bed. Ultra-modern sleigh beds don’t have a footboard but can still have the look of a sleigh bed. These six beds make a statement no matter which way they come.

Designer Advice:
This might be one of our favorites when it comes to modern sleigh beds. The combination of pale gray wood trim and detailing with the greige linen fabric hints at a sleigh bed design without being at all traditional. Perfect for a transitional style, you could decorate the rest of the room in soft neutrals for a serene palette or add in darker warm colors like russet and gold to create.

Designer Advice:
This modern sleigh bed gets its Zen look from the low-profile frame that folds in under itself. Entirely wrapped with off-white or black faux leather over foam fill, every piece of the bed is cushioned for comfort. To create the right proportions around your bed, you’ll need to make sure the height of your nightstands is the same as from the floor to the top of your mattress.
Contemporary Sleigh Bed
The platform frame on this contemporary sleigh bed is fully upholstered in a nylon and wool blend and comes in six color options. The bed doesn’t require a boxspring, as the platform serves to keep the mattress supported. Comes in four sizes: twin, double, queen and king.
Designer Advice:
Making up your bed couldn’t be easier than with this modern sleigh bed. To create a Scandi or Japandi look, simply tuck a coverlet tightly around the sheets and mattress. A hospital corner will keep the corners from looking messy, and you’ll be able to see the fabric-wrapped bed frame. Lay your sleeping pillows flat on the mattress and layer them with shams the same fabric as your bed cover or the same fabric as your sheets.

Tandem Arbor
Upholstered in genuine leather, this modern sleigh bed comes in five sizes. You’ll need to purchase a mattress and box spring separately to place on the four slats. Compatible with an adjustable bed, the recommended mattress thickness is 10”.
