Bedroom Furniture

Bed style affects more than looks: platform beds sit lower and skip the box spring, panel beds offer a clean traditional headboard, sleigh beds add a curved statement footboard, and storage beds build drawers into the base — useful in bedrooms without a walk-in closet. Poster beds work best in rooms with at least 9-foot ceilings so the posts don't overwhelm the space.

Before choosing a size, measure your room and mark out the bed's footprint with tape, leaving at least 24-30 inches on each side for walking room and dresser access; our measuring your furniture guide covers exact clearances for California king and other oversized frames. Complete sets from Vaughan-Bassett and Kincaid keep bed, dresser, mirror, and nightstand finishes matched, which is the easiest way to furnish a whole room without piecing it together over multiple trips.

If closet space is tight, a storage bed with built-in drawers or a dresser with deep bottom drawers can replace a chest of drawers entirely — pair a six-drawer dresser with a nightstand from the same Vaughan-Bassett or Liberty bedroom group seen in our showrooms for matching hardware and finish. Solid wood pieces from Riverside and Vaughan-Bassett should be dusted with a dry or slightly damp cloth; see our wood furniture tips guide for advice on avoiding sun fading and humidity-related warping.

Bunk and loft-style bedroom furniture, along with any bed with drawers a child might climb, should be anchored to the wall — our furniture safety tips guide covers anti-tip anchoring for dressers and chests, which is especially important in households with young children. Once your furniture is chosen, delivery includes assembly of headboards and footboards, and a six-month in-home service window covers any adjustments needed after move-in.
