augustine arched bedroom

With an impressive height of 63 inches, this arched headboard offers substantial surface area for back support. The height is strategically designed to remain a functional and visual centerpiece even when paired with today’s thicker, high-profile mattresses. This ensures that you have a stable, supportive backdrop for sitting up comfortably in bed.

Yes, this bed is well-suited for a standard bedroom layout. While a queen mattress is typically 60" x 80", the total footprint of this frame is 63"w x 88"d. In a 10' x 12' room, this leaves approximately 30 inches of space on either side for nightstands and over 4 feet of clearance at the foot of the bed. For homeowners in smaller spaces or urban apartments, the raised turned legs provide "visual breathability," making the room feel larger by allowing light to pass under the frame.

The Augustine bed is engineered for long-term stability using a 3-piece construction that includes a headboard, footboard, and heavy-duty side rails. The use of robust turned legs provides a wide, stable base that distributes weight evenly. This traditional assembly method, when tightened correctly during setup, minimizes the metal-on-wood or wood-on-wood friction that typically leads to squeaking. For the best ownership experience, we recommend a quick check and tightening of the assembly bolts every six months.

This is a panel-style bed, which is specifically designed to be used with both a mattress and a foundation or box spring. Utilizing a foundation provides the necessary height and structural support to ensure your mattress remains level and its warranty stays valid. For a lower-profile look without sacrificing support, you may consider a "bunkie board" as an alternative to a standard box spring.

The Augustine bed features resin moldings that allow for the highly detailed, ornate carvings seen on the arched headboard. These moldings are exceptionally durable and resistant to the cracking or warping that can sometimes affect intricate wood carvings in fluctuating indoor climates. Combined with the rich, ivory-brush glaze finish, these elements provide a high-end, traditional aesthetic that maintains its sharp detail over the life of the furniture.

To preserve the depth and luster of the hand-applied glaze, we recommend regular dusting with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Our care guidelines suggest avoiding harsh chemical cleaners or silicone-based polishes, which can create a dulling buildup over time. For light cleaning, a slightly damp cloth followed immediately by a dry one will protect the finish and the resin moldings from moisture.
