When you drift off to the land of nod, you want to make sure you do it in style. And a well-designed bed with good looks to boot is just the ticket.
Your bed can make a real statement and be the focal point of the room. It can be the one thing that the rest of the bedroom is designed around, or you can opt for a neutral bed that seamlessly sits in a calm, restful space.
Firmly in the statement-making bed camp are those with gorgeous Art Deco-inspired headboards (think shell-shaped and velvety); beds with a distinct French style (think large button-backed headboards with pretty carving); or, wait for it, four-poster beds — yep, they’re making a comeback — think shutting the curtains around your own snooze cabin.
If you like more of a natural style, opt for a pared-back Scandi frame, or a low-backed bed in a neutral shade like grey or cream. Industrial-lovers should look to buy a metal bed frame, retro fans will love a mid-century modern frame, while you can’t beat rattan for a cool boho vibe.
Whatever your preference, we’ve rounded up the best beds from high end to high street below. Scroll on to see our edit of stylish sleeping beauties

Get Laid Beds Moroccan Four Poster Bed
Influenced not by Marie Antoinette but by Moroccan glamour, this is a four-poster bed with a twist.
The canopy has been excluded completely, allowing the posters with their block-and-vase legs to shine. Made with sustainable wood and painted in an inviting shade of warm white, it comes in the biggest size range we've seen from Small Single (£684) all the way up to EU superking with all UK sizes catered for along the way.
As each bed is made to order, you can opt to include a motorised bed base, have a different coloured frameand add a flating bedside shelf and underbed storage for additional costs. A far more enjoyable way to make your bed.
