King size Modern Black Velvet Upholstered Platform Bed with Headboard

This King size Modern Black Velvet Upholstered Platform Bed brings luxury hotel vibes into your bedroom. Designed by Sean Lavin, the sleek upholstered headboard and footboard create a sophisticated focal point that works with contemporary or transitional décor.

Construction and Support
Built with a steel frame and 12 kiln-dried wooden slats spaced 5-6 inches apart, this platform bed delivers serious stability without requiring a box spring. The real workhorse here is the system of 6 center support legs distributed across the frame—they're engineered to handle an 800 lb weight capacity, making this bed suitable for couples or heavier sleepers. The bolt joinery method keeps everything locked in place during nightly movement and shifting.

Plush Velvet Upholstery
The black velvet upholstery covers the headboard (23.6" tall), footboard (11" tall), and frame exterior, creating that tufted luxury aesthetic. It's partially upholstered, so the construction underneath remains practical and durable. The 4.33-inch thick headboard provides substantial presence without overwhelming the room. When cleaning, skip harsh or corrosive solutions to keep the velvet looking pristine.

Practical Dimensions and Mattress Compatibility
At 76.4" wide × 83.1" long × 44.9" tall, this bed fits standard king size spaces. The side rail sits 12 inches from the floor—high enough for storage bins underneath but low enough to avoid looking bulky. Recommended mattress thickness is 8", and this frame works with premium mattresses including Tempur-Pedic. The minimum ceiling height needed is 70" to avoid any overhead restrictions.

Assembly
Two people can handle the full indoor assembly, and all tools are included. The weight is manageable at 79 lbs, so this isn't an unwieldy piece to maneuver during setup.

Headboard Details
The headboard bottom measures 69.3" and the top measures 76.4" wide, providing a full backdrop that extends the entire width of the king bed. The 6.3-inch leg height offers clear floor visibility for cleaning underneath.
