Pioneered in Japan, these zen platform beds are the perfect addition to a home with an eye on minimalism. Take out the box spring and the frame, and replace it with a traditional zen platform, and your bed will have an alignment with the earth that may just improve the Feng Shui of your bedroom, which has been found to lead to better sleep, and mental clarity.
Our Picks
Upholstered Japanese Platform Bed Frame
Modway Inc.
Instantly transform your bedroom landscape by fusing Western and Japanese style with a platform bed with an upholstered headboard. Unlike Western-style beds, Japanese bed frames are low to the floor, for an inconspicuous look. Upholstered headboards make the bed a more prominent feature and add soft textures to contrast the hard, chiseled wooden frame.
If you’re looking to fill a large bedroom, consider choosing a platform with attached matching nightstands. The added width grounds the room and creates a sense of coziness. Plus, it saves you the job of looking for matching low-level nightstands!
Japanese Style Sunken Platform Bed
Limari Home
Restore your energy to its fullest potential each night with a Japanese-style sunken platform bed. In Japanese culture it is believed that the closer to the floor you sleep, the more rejuvenated you will awake, because it allows the earth to absorb your excess energy. If you’re not ready to sleep on the floor, sunken platform beds allow you to get as close to it as possible.
Introduce symmetry with built-in nightstands on either side of the bed, to create a sense of balance and visual harmony.
Modern Grey Upholstered Japanese Bed Frame with Built In Nightstands
Limari Home
Looking for a Japanese Zen bed frame to suit a modern, gray bedroom decor? Try an upholstered sunken platform bed in a muted gray color palette. Whilst textiles are kept to a minimum in traditional Japanese interior design, upholstered bed frames are increasingly popular in modern interiors. This is because of their inherent softness and array of colors and textures, for added personalization.
Japanese minimalism prefers natural floor materials, such as wood and stone. However, to create a cozy atmosphere in the bedroom, you can use textile floor coverings or rugs in natural materials such as straw, jute, sisal, or wool.
Japanese Floating Platform Bed
Nexera
Bring a light and airy feel to your bedroom with a Japanese floating platform bed. The unique design creates the impression that the bed is levitating above the ground, for a clean and uncluttered appearance.
Walnut laminate creates a soft and natural-looking finish, suitable for a range of interior styles from bohemian to Scandinavian, or mid-century modern. If you have a big bedroom, consider opting for an extra-wide headboard. Not only will this create a solid focal point and design statement, but it will also add a feeling of coziness.
Modern Black Glossy Japanese Platform Bed
Matisse Co.
Place a modern twist on traditional Japanese design with a black, glossy floor-level bed frame.
Sleek, clean lines and a minimalist aesthetic characterize both traditional Japanese and modern Western design. A black bed frame becomes a focal point, creating high contrast and a sense of dynamism.
The color black can feel overpowering, especially in small bedrooms. Maintain a sense of calmness and harmony by pairing it with white tones and accents of a primary color, such as red.
Natural Wood Zen Platform Bed with Headboard
Incorporate Japanese philosophy into your bedroom decor with a platform bed made of solid wood. Natural materials are often used in Japanese interior design to maintain the dialogue and harmony between people and their natural environment and add a sense of warmth and relaxation.
Solid wood bed frames come in a range of natural wood grains and stains, suitable for a variety of interior decors from Scandinavian to rustic, or farmhouse. When choosing a wooden frame, make sure it integrates into the design and compliments the other tones of the room.
Modern Industrial Japanese Style Bed Frame
Zinus
Infuse your modern industrial style bedroom with Zen aura with a low-lying Asian platform bed. Solid wood floor-level bed frames offer sturdy support for you and your mattress and guaranteed durability. And, eliminating clearance space keeps those dust-bunnies at bay, creating a healthier sleeping environment.
Anchor the industrial decor with a slatted headboard in natural wood grain with brass accents, providing an alternative modern take on traditional Japanese design.
Japanese Storage Platform Bed
Memomad
Looking to create a tranquil escape from the hectic cityscape? Those of you who live in a busy metropolitan area know that every square foot counts. So, why not pair functionality and style with a Japanese storage bed? The clever design optimizes your bedroom space, providing plenty of closed or trendy open storage space for your personal belongings, clothes, or bed linen.
Out of sight, out of mind; the secret to a Zen space is to remove visual distractions and potential anxiety triggers. Stick to a modest, minimalist bedroom design with practical storage, avoiding complicated detail and excess ornamentation, and you will quickly achieve the peaceful oasis you are seeking.
White Leather Platform Bed with Adjustable Headrests
Zuri Furniture
Instill modern sophistication and serenity into your restful retreat with a white platform bed frame. Clean lines and a sleek silhouette, laid in close proximity to the ground, create a sense of spaciousness and order. A color symbolic of spiritual and physical purity in Japanese culture, a white bed frame makes the perfect centerpiece for your sleep sanctuary.
For an authentic Japanese style bed, opt for a platform without a headboard or footboard. You can also find platform beds with adjustable headrests if you want something to occasionally lean on.
