mill valley ii bedroom

While a standard king mattress is 76 inches wide and 80 inches long, this bed frame has a larger footprint of 80"w x 95"l. The signature curved sleigh headboard and recessed panel footboard add approximately 15 inches of additional length compared to the mattress alone. We recommend measuring your bedroom carefully to ensure you have adequate walking clearance at the foot of the bed.

Yes, this bed is designed to be used with both a mattress and a foundation (or box spring). Using a proper foundation is essential for maintaining the structural integrity of your mattress and ensuring it sits at the intended height within the sleigh frame. Both the mattress and foundation are sold separately.

To comfortably accommodate this bed's 95-inch length and 80-inch width, we recommend a bedroom that is at least 12' x 14'. This allows for the bed to be the focal point while still providing the necessary 30 to 36 inches of "traffic path" space around the perimeter for nightstands and dressers.

To preserve the gray finish, our furniture care expertise recommends dusting regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with a touch of mild soap and water, then dry immediately. Avoid the use of harsh chemical cleaners or wax-based polishes, as these can build up and dull the specialized gray topcoat over time.

The sleigh bed is a timeless design that has been updated here for modern homes with a neutral gray finish. While the silhouette is classic, the use of birch veneers and turned legs gives it a "casual-classic" aesthetic that fits well in both traditional suburban homes and more contemporary urban spaces. It serves as a substantial centerpiece that anchors the room without feeling dated.

This bed is constructed with high-quality birch veneers, which are prized for their stability and resistance to warping. Unlike solid wood, which can expand or contract significantly in humid or varying climates, veneers are bonded to a stable core, ensuring the elegant recessed panels and curved headboard remain beautiful and structurally sound for years to come.
