Black King Bed Frames

Seattle black ribbed king bed frame in a bedroom

Our black king bed frames come in matte or satin wood, metal, faux leather, ribbed fabric and velvet. Each card shows its current price, and 17 of the 20 need no box spring, as their makers say.

You will find three black canopy beds, five with storage, a plain black steel platform bed, a king bed frame with no headboard, low frames close to the floor, a black wood frame with two velvet headboard cushions (the Greenwich) and a low post bed with a cream tufted headboard (the Augusta), for a standard 76 x 80 in king mattress, plus two California king beds (the Encinitas, and the Davis in its black finish). Each product page gives the outside size and the materials the maker lists. Planning the room? Start with our king size bed dimensions guide.

Want a black canopy? The Biloxi black metal canopy king bed pairs slim black posts with a white channel-tufted headboard.

For black fabric, the Seattle has a wave-topped headboard in black ribbed fabric; for low black wood, the Tahoe sits about 2 inches off the floor.

Up close: the Mystic canopy bed is upholstered in black diamond-tufted flannelette up to 87.4 inches, the Madison comes in black solid mahogany and needs a box spring, and the Davis California king stands on tapered legs.

Want black steel rather than wood or fabric? Our metal king bed frame page gathers 10 beds, 6 of them in black.

Black and low? The Wichita and the Tahoe also appear in our low profile king bed frame collection.

Need a black extra sturdy king bed frame? The Brooklyn, the Pittsburgh and the velvet Orlando carry makers' ratings of 1,000 to 1,200 lb.

In black velvet, look at the Natchez sleigh bed, the Memphis storage bed and the Orlando, then weigh them against every velvet king bed we sell.

Black frames such as the Madison sit on a box spring; our king foundation guide explains the solid option with no springs inside.

Prefer a warmer color? Our brown king beds go from walnut and cherry finishes to dark brown.

Sizing and buying guides

Before you choose

Which black king bed for your room?

Black wood

The Tahoe comes in matte black (or white, or oak) with a 35.4 inch panel headboard and about 2 inches of clearance under the frame. The Madison is a mid-century bed in solid mahogany, according to its maker, with a satin black finish, round tapered posts and a 52 inch headboard; it is the only bed on this page that needs a box spring or bunkie board. The Reno has a black and gray striped headboard with a silver faux crystal band and two drawers in the footboard.

Black metal

The Biloxi is a four post canopy bed in slim black metal, 77.7 inches tall, with a white channel tufted headboard. The Detroit builds a black metal frame around a shelf headboard with LED lighting, outlets and USB ports, and leaves 10.43 inches of open floor underneath. The Newport is a metal canopy bed with brown faux leather panels, and the Pittsburgh a black metal bed with 4 drawers. The Brooklyn is a plain black steel platform bed with brown headboard and footboard panels, 39 inches tall.

Black fabric, velvet and faux leather

The Seattle is wrapped in black ribbed fabric, with a wave shaped headboard and a base 1 inch off the floor. The Memphis in black velvet lifts its slatted deck on gas struts over a storage compartment. The Wichita is a black faux leather platform with no headboard, 10.6 inches high, and the Savannah pairs black wood with a gray or white faux leather headboard and a nightstand shelf on each side.

Check the width first

Fourteen of these frames stay within 6 inches of the mattress width: the Fargo is 76 inches wide, the Augusta 76.4, the Pittsburgh 77.6, the Orlando 78, the Brooklyn 78.2, the Newport 78.7, the Reno 79, the Tahoe 79.2, the Kailua 79.2, the Biloxi 79.29, the Greenwich 79.4, the Madison 81, the Wichita 81.9 and the Seattle 82. The Mystic is a little wider at 83.6 inches. Three are much wider because the headboard carries storage: the Detroit measures 101.77 inches with its shelf towers, the Memphis 105 inches across its headboard wings and the Savannah 137 inches from one nightstand shelf to the other. Measure your wall, and our headboard sizes guide shows how a headboard width relates to the frame.

Living with a black frame

Dust and light pet hair show more on black than on a mid-tone finish, most of all on velvet and ribbed fabric. A soft brush or a lint roller keeps fabric even, and a dry cloth does for wood and metal. The Wichita's maker describes its faux leather as waterproof, so spills can be wiped off. Test any cleaner on a hidden spot first. For lighter finishes, see our white king bed frames.

Black king bed frames: questions people ask

Is a black bed frame a good idea?

It suits most rooms if you like the look: black sits with any bedding color and stands out against a light wall. The one trade-off is that dust and light pet hair show more than on a mid-tone finish, especially on velvet and ribbed fabric.

Do black king bed frames need a box spring?

17 of the 20 do not: they carry the mattress on slats or a platform. The Madison needs a box spring or bunkie board on its three cross slats, and the Brooklyn has a steel slat deck, but its maker does not say whether a box spring is needed; neither does the maker of the California king Davis.

What is the least expensive black king bed frame?

The Wichita: a low black faux leather platform with slats and no headboard, 10.6 inches high.

Do you have a black metal king bed frame?

Six: the Biloxi canopy bed in slim black metal, the Newport canopy bed with a black metal frame and brown faux leather panels, the Detroit, a black metal frame with a shelf headboard, LED lighting and charging ports, the Pittsburgh, a black metal bed with 4 drawers and LED lighting, and the Brooklyn, a plain black steel platform bed, and the Fargo, a 14 inch black steel frame with no headboard, the lowest priced of the six.

Is there a black canopy bed in king size?

Yes, three: the Biloxi with four black metal posts and a top frame, 77.7 inches tall, the Newport with a black metal frame, 78.7 inches tall, and the Mystic, upholstered in black tufted flannelette, 87.4 inches tall. Under an 8 foot ceiling, they leave about 18, 17 and 9 inches above the frame.

Which black king bed has storage?

The Reno has two drawers in its footboard, the Memphis lifts its deck over a storage compartment, the Detroit has open shelves in its headboard and towers, and the Pittsburgh has 4 drawers. See all our king bed frames with storage.

Which black king bed has a tall headboard?

The Madison stands 52 inches tall, the Reno 50 inches and the Seattle 49.4 inches. For more, see our tall headboard king beds.

How do you keep a black bed frame looking clean?

Dust it often with a dry cloth on wood and metal, and use a soft brush or a lint roller on velvet and fabric. Blot spills instead of rubbing them, and test any cleaner on a hidden spot first.
