What are different kinds of beds?

Overview of Bed Styles by Design and Function

Beds are no longer just sleeping surfaces—they are design, comfort, and functional features. They are designed to save space, some to make a design statement, and others to offer medical or ergonomic assistance. Being aware of the broad categories makes it easier to select the right model for your bedroom, wallet, and usage.

Why Choosing the Right Bed Matters

The correct bed affects everything beyond sleeping—it also affects posture, mood, room decor, and daily usability. No matter if you are designing a master bedroom, a kid’s bedroom, or a guest bedroom, the right bed:

● Supports sleeping position and quality
● Works with interior design and color scheme
● Offers storage or space-saving when needed
● Demonstrates long-term quality and reduces the necessity for future replacement
● Impacts energy, mood, and overall health

By Bed Style & Design

Your bed is the stylish focal point of your room. At HOC Furniture, our experts create customized beds that balance functionality with architectural beauty.

● Platform Beds

Platform beds offer a low, streamlined look with an unbroken foundation. They’re ideal for contemporary rooms and don’t require a box spring. Storage options integrated into them make them the best fit for UAE homes where floor space needs to be maximized. Read more about platform beds…

● Daybeds

Both functional and stylish, daybeds function as a seat by day and a bed by night—ideal for guest rooms or multi-purpose living spaces.

● Sofa Beds

Sofa beds flip into full-size sleeping areas without compromising style. Perfect for small apartments or homes with overnight visitors.

● Canopy Beds

Vertical posts and an extra overhead frame give canopy beds an enclosed, retreat-like atmosphere—ideal for adding dignity and drama to large bedrooms.

● Sleigh Beds

Their bent headboards and footboards provide sleigh beds a traditional refinement. Made in solid wood, they are ideal for studio, transitional, or traditional design looks.

● Murphy Beds

Also known as wall beds, they fold into a cabinet to free up the floor space. Excellent in studio apartments or multi-purpose rooms in small urban houses.

● Poster Beds

Poster beds feature four side posts and introduce an element of colonial or vintage flair. They are best suited to rooms that value vertical drama without the full canopy encasing.

By Bed Size

Choosing the right size offers comfort with room for the room proportions. At HOC Furniture, we build beds in all the standard and custom sizes.

● Single / Twin Beds

90 x 190 cm – Best suited for children, teenagers, or small guest rooms.

● Twin XL Beds

90 x 200 cm – Offers extra leg room for taller individuals. Prevalent in dormitory-style or shared accommodation spaces.

● Full / Double Beds

135 x 190 cm – Spacious for solo users or occasional shared use in guest rooms.

● Queen Size Beds

150 x 200 cm – A favourite among couples or spacious single sleepers. Perfect in most modern bedrooms.

● King Size Beds

180 x 200 cm – For couples who need a little extra space or for children who share a bed from time to time.

● Super King Beds

200 x 200 cm – The ultimate sleeping luxury. Ideal for spacious villas and master suites with expansive floor areas.

By Functionality & Purpose

Functional beds are designed for space-saving, health, and lifestyle needs. They are ideal for smart homes or multi-users.

● Storage Beds

Storage Beds incorporate drawers or hydraulic lift systems. Ideal for small apartments or closets with scarce closet space, allowing you to store linens, pillows, or seasonal items.

● Bunk Beds

Ideal for kids’ bedrooms or vacation homes. Bunk beds allow stacking of mattresses vertically, saving horizontal space and adding excitement for children.

● Loft Beds

Lifting the mattress creates space underneath for desks, storage, or chairs. Ideal for teenagers or tiny studio apartments.

● Adjustable Beds

With the ability to tilt the head and foot sections, these beds are ideal for seniors or anyone with medical or therapeutic needs.

● Trundle Beds

A second bed rolls out from underneath the main bed—ideal for sleepovers or tiny guest rooms.

● Folding / Rollaway Beds

Lightweight and compact, they are most often used in hospitality or temporary sleeping use.

By Features & Materials

Material has an influence on looks, longevity, and upkeep. We help you at HOC Furniture to select materials that suit your lifestyle as well as your interior design concept.

● Wooden Beds

Traditional and long-lasting. In oak, walnut, teak, or ash. Wooden beds make for a cozy atmosphere and can be customized with carvings, finishes, or stains.

● Metal Beds

Heavy, modern, and often used in industrial or minimalist settings. Pest-resistant and easy to maintain.

● Upholstered Beds

They feature padded headboards upholstered with fabric, velvet, leatherette, or suede. They provide a soft, luxurious feel to any setting.

● Rattan / Cane Beds

Lightweight, natural, and ideally suited for tropical, beach, or bohemian-themed rooms. Cane is rugged but needs proper sealing for UAE’s climate.

● Leather or Faux Leather Beds

Soft and sophisticated, leather beds are easy to maintain and add sophistication to minimalist and masculine bedrooms.

● Engineered Wood Beds

Budget-friendly and designer-accepting. Engineered wood mimics solid wood appearance and feel, allowing for greater flexibility in finishes and colors.

How to Choose the Best Bed for Your Needs

When choosing a bed, think beyond size and color. Ask yourself:

● Who will be sleeping on it? (Adults, children, visitors, seniors)
● Room size and shape – Don’t overcrowd; leave space to move and stash
● Bed support – Support correctly (platform vs. slatted vs. box spring)
● Design cohesion – Tie in with flooring, lighting, and other furniture pieces
● Storage needs – Choose between drawer, lift-up, or open storage
● Material aesthetic – Factor in climate, maintenance, and personal style

Our team at HOC Furniture works with residents, interior designers, and property developers to design beds that meet functional and aesthetic goals.
