If you’ve ever walked into a bedroom and immediately felt drawn to the bed—its softness, charm, and effortless elegance—there’s a good chance it was upholstered.
So, what is an upholstered bed?
Simply put, an upholstered bed is a bed frame wrapped in fabric, padding, and personality. Far from just another piece of bedroom furniture, an upholstered bed makes a statement and sets the tone for everything around it. From bold velvet numbers to sleek linen frames and playful patterned headboards, modern upholstered beds bring warmth, comfort, and a designer touch to your personal retreat.
oomph’s take? Refined but never stuffy. Inviting, yet full of personality. Keep reading to explore what makes these beds the cozy crown jewel of the bedroom—and how to find your perfect fit.
Upholstered Bed Styles with Signature oomph
With oomph, the details do the talking. From bold silhouettes to tailored finishes, every bed is built with character — and built to last.
Sculptural Headboards
oomph's sculptural fabric headboards are a mix of architecture and comfort, where curves, angles, and proportions are thoughtfully crafted to make a visual impact. Whether you're into scalloped edges, tall arches, or clean-lined forms, there's a headboard here that fits your style and adds drama (the good kind) to your bedroom.
Classic Platform Foundations
Say goodbye to uncomfortable box springs. Our platform beds offer clean lines, solid support, and a tailored look that suits just about any décor. With their low profiles and structured bases, they bring a sense of calm and order to the room — perfect for minimalist or modern interiors.

Traditional can still be playful. oomph brings a lighthearted twist to timeless design with unique trims, luxe finishes, and a color palette that feels current, not conservative. It’s all about mixing comfort with a confident point of view.
Designed for a Room with Personality
Every oomph upholstered bed is meant to stand out, not fade into the background. These pieces are designed to reflect your style — bold, classic, relaxed, or a little bit daring.

Materials That Set the Tone
The fabric you choose affects the whole feel of your bedroom. oomph offers a wide range of upholstery options to match your lifestyle and taste.
Linen, Cotton, and Everyday Textiles
For a laid-back, breezy feel, natural fibers like linen and cotton are the go-to. They’re breathable, soft, and look even better as they wear in. Perfect for a relaxed, beachy, or classic space that’s all about comfort.
Velvet, Leather, and Elevated Finishes
Looking for a little drama? Velvet catches the light and instantly adds depth. Leather, on the other hand, adds sleekness and edge — plus it’s easy to clean. These finishes make your fabric bed frame feel intentional and perfectly luxe.
Choosing the Right Frame for Your Space
How do you decide which bed is “the one”? A few key things can help you zero in.
Sizing, Scale, and Room Layout
A king-size bed looks majestic, but it needs the right room to breathe. If you're working with a smaller space, a queen or full might be a better fit. Think about your layout — do you want walking room on both sides? Enough space for nightstands? Don’t let your bed feel cramped or oversized.
Texture, Tone, and Light
Consider how your chosen material will work with the natural light in your space. A darker velvet might absorb light and feel cozy, while a pale linen reflects it and brightens the room. Play with contrast to make the bed pop—or go tonal for a serene vibe.
Cleaning and Care Considerations
If you have kids or pets, stain resistance might be your best friend. Performance fabrics like treated linen or easy-clean cotton blends are smart picks — they’re durable, low-maintenance, and still feel luxurious to the touch.
oomph offers materials that are as practical as they are beautiful, so your upholstered bed stays looking sharp without the stress.
A Bed That Anchors the Room
A beautiful bed sets the tone for the entire space. It draws the eye, creates a visual anchor, and helps everything else in the room fall into place. From the shape of the headboard to the texture of the fabric, every detail plays a role in how the space feels.
Design Presence and Practical Comfort
oomph’s upholstered beds strike a rare balance between standout design and everyday livability. Our elegant silhouettes and refined detailing bring a designer’s touch to the room without sacrificing comfort. A sculptural headboard can echo architectural elements or introduce a striking focal point, while the soft fabric wrapping invites you to lean back, unwind, and stay a while.
And because every piece is American made, the craftsmanship is something you can truly feel — right down to the hand-finished frame and carefully chosen fabric. With oomph, form and feel go hand in hand, creating a space that looks beautiful and lives beautifully too.
Bringing the Look Together
Your bed might be the centerpiece, but what surrounds it can bring the whole picture to life.
Pairing with Lighting, Nightstands, and Bedding
Professional design tip: Focus on symmetry with your lamps, contrast with your nightstands, and textures with your bedding. For example, a velvet bed looks
incredible next to matte ceramics or crisp white linen. Find that balance between soft and structured, bold and quiet.
Looking to add a little more oomph? Use lighting to highlight the shape and texture of your headboard—sconces or pendants draw the eye upward and frame the space beautifully. For nightstands, mix materials like lacquer, brass, or wood to bring in a layered, designer look without overwhelming the room.
The Role of Rugs, Wall Color, and Art
A patterned rug under a neutral bed? Yes, please. Dark walls with a pale frame? Stunning.
Add layered window treatments or a bold piece of art, and suddenly the room feels intentional and pulled together. Even small details — like matching trim colors or complementary throw pillows — can tie the whole space into a visual story. These finishing touches turn your bedroom into a cohesive, thoughtful space where everything feels connected.
