Steagall Ivory King Canopy Bed

This bed stands at 83.5 inches tall, which is just under 7 feet. In a standard 8-foot (96-inch) bedroom, you will have approximately 12.5 inches of clearance between the top of the canopy and your ceiling. This provides a comfortable amount of breathing room, allowing the dramatic vertical lines of the mid-century design to make a statement without the space feeling cramped or overwhelming.

Surprisingly, an open-frame canopy bed can be an excellent choice for smaller spaces. Because the frame consists of thin, defined lines rather than solid panels, it allows your sightline to pass through to the walls, creating an airy feel. Additionally, the tapered legs lift the bed off the floor, revealing more "visual square footage," a strategic design choice often used in urban apartments to make a room feel larger and more organized.

With a height of 83.5 inches, the top rails of the bed will sit several inches below most standard-mounted ceiling fans. To ensure the best air circulation, particularly in warmer climates, we recommend checking that your fan blades have at least 12 inches of horizontal clearance from the vertical canopy posts. This ensures that the dramatic frame does not obstruct the fan’s ability to move air throughout the sleep area.

To preserve the refined ivory finish and the artisan-inspired fluted detailing, we recommend dusting the frame regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth. For minor stains, a light application of mild soap and water is the safest and most effective method. Based on our expertise in wood furniture care, you should avoid harsh chemical polishes or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the finish and dull the classic fluted texture over time.

No, a box spring is not necessary for this model. This bed is constructed with a built-in wood slat support system designed to support your mattress directly. This platform-style design not only streamlines the assembly process but also ensures your mattress—whether it is memory foam, hybrid, or innerspring—receives the flat, sturdy support needed to prevent sagging and maintain the manufacturer's warranty.
