My husband and I are going to go from a queen to a king bed so we need the works: bed frame, mattress, sheets, duvet. Shit, maybe we will even get new pillows. Please send all your recs for the best bed and accoutrements

Question

Lulu Lefferts · Answer

A Split King Bed: Did you know a King mattress is exactly the same size as two Twin XLs pushed together? Let me introduce you to the beauty of a Split King. You like it soft but he likes it firm? Split King. You run cold but he’s a sweaty mess? Split King. All the joy, none of the compromise.

floyd bed frame: one of the best investments my partner and i made back in 2022, and has lasted three moves :)

i recommend getting the headboard as an addition, and skipping out on the drawers (the mechanism broke after one move).

Mila Matelassé Duvet Cover + Shams Set | Riley Home: I love the heft of this matelassé duvet option from Riley. I also love stripes / ribbed textiles. We got both standard and euro shams and the duvet cover. Have two sets, alternate on laundry day. Wash well. Wear well. Never have to iron or deal with wrinkles! Highly rec!

Jess · Answer

Tempurpedic adjustable bed frame: This genius thing sits between your bed frame and your mattress. Bring up the head for reading in bed, or go zero-g for fabulous relaxation. It’s so good it turned me into a back sleeper after literally decades of side sleep!

You’ll want to get “deep pocket” sheets or invest in a Bed Scrunchie; otherwise, your sheets will ruck up when you adjust it. That is literally the only downside I’ve had in several years of use.

Did I mention it also has massage mode?

Nate · Answer

Casper Pillow: Needed a pillow, saw these at wal-mart, picked a couple up and was very pleasantly surprised. They have different firmness and one that cools.

JV · Answer

Morrow Soft Goods Vintage Stripe Coverlet: I picked up the morrow coverlet based on @katie duplass Rec, and we love it. Our room feels like a cozy hotel room now alongside the bolster and a new set of buttery sheets.

Kaylan · Answer

Blu Dot Woodrow Bed: Blu Dot’s Woodrow frame is veneer over sturdy, solid wood. Modern design and I love that the headboard has a gentle angle (great for reading in bed)! We’ve had this for a few years now and it has no wobbles or creaks. The black color in king size is 30% off right now!

Wait for Black Friday!: We did this last year, and timing it right saved up loads of money and made sure we got all the goods at the same time. We did:

solid wood frame from Get Laid Beds. Easy to build, super sturdy, looks great, reasonably priced, great delivery. Classic and not trendy! Get some stain samples!

cushion firm mattress from Naturpedic. Came with free pillows that I love and a mattress de protector that is undetectable.

Mix and matched classic percale sheets from Brooklinen.

Flannel sheets from LL Bean.

It’s a doozy to throw down but sooooo worth it.

Sarah Cooney · Answer

Piglet in Bed Timeless Bedding: English bedding that ships to the States--just reach out to them about sizing! We LOVE their sheets.

Ginny Branch · Answer

Frette Hotel Classic Bedding: This is absolutely such a bougie and ridiculous rec but my husband and I just stayed in a hotel that had these sheets and they live up to their hype. Felt like silk but weren’t, they were just that soft and delightful. There’s a reason why Frette is a gold standard and I will have these on a probably-never-gonna-happen wishlist 😂

LAUREN! · Answer

Lola blanket: I promise you I don’t play about my Lola. Top ten most worth it things ever.

Adelaide · Answer

Coyuchi: The longest lasting, comfiest sheets in beautiful prints and colors. Pricey but shop the sales! We have these on our guest room bed and have converted many a friend/family member to their excellence.

Karen Fischer · Answer

Luuna Mattress: This may only be available in Mexico, but I really love my Luuna! I got a cooling mattress, I think it was about $1,000 USD for a queen? Not sure if king is even available, but the mattress is made in Mexico and I really like that. The firmer one is great. And their return policy is wonderful - if you have any issues, they give you a new mattress. Few Mexican brands are so chill about returns in this way. We thought one of our edges was a little soft, for example, so they sent us a brand-new second mattress.

Meg · Answer

Shepherd's Dream All-Natural Organic Wool Bedding: Have you discovered organic wool bedding yet? Allergen free, temperature regulating, and deeply comforting, this stuff has been on my bed for over a decade. It’s worth the cost and the patience to slow collect. I’d start with a comforter first and then get a mattress topper. Your central nervous system will thank you. It’s just everything to sleep well.

chiarabelle · Answer

Target Threshold Cotton sheets: They are super soft, have deep corner pockets, and are not outrageously priced.

Sophia Lucchesi · Answer

Parachute Cloud Duvet Cover: The dreamiest, softest, gauze duvet cover.

Julia · Answer

Get Two Duvets and Sleep like an actual king!: This was the best thing we ever did (second only to getting a king sized bed). You can cocoon to your hearts content come winter time. Trust me.

Clara · Answer

IKEA duvet set in green stripe: I really adore this duvet cover/pillowcase set! Comfy and quietly chic, imo. Goes great with a dark (think navy) solid or light patterned fitted sheet.

Maryn · Answer

Thuma The Classic Bed: We’ve had our Thuma frame for 6 years and absolutely love it. The tool-free assembly and Japanese joinery are as rad as they sound. We’ve been thinking of upgrading to a king and if we do, we’ll get another Thuma!
