King Cloud Bed Frames
A cloud bed frame is upholstered all around in thick padding, with soft edges instead of hard corners to knock a shin on. Ours come in boucle, sherpa and chenille, and all but one say they need no box spring.
Here you will find them in boucle, sherpa and chenille, from very low beds to frames with a tall padded headboard, in king (76 x 80 in mattress) and California king (72 x 84 in). Cloud beds are wider than most frames, so each product page lists the real outside size: check it against your room with our king size bed dimensions guide.
Two of them: the Ventura, a low white boucle bed 23.8 inches tall, and the Palo Alto, a beige chenille California king that rests on the floor.

Sizing and buying guides
Before you choose
What to check before you choose
The extra width
The padding that makes a cloud bed soft also makes it wide. Our king cloud beds measure from 82.67 inches wide (the Provo) to 92.91 inches (the Tacoma, whose headboard runs past both sides), that is about 7 to 17 inches more than the mattress itself. Measure the space between your nightstands before ordering.
How low you want to sleep
The Ventura in white boucle is 23.8 inches tall in total and the Provo 25.2 inches, headboard included: both sit very close to the floor. The Burbank (37.6 inches) and the Bend (37.5 inches) add a taller padded headboard to lean on. Both also appear in our modern king bed frames.
The fabric
Boucle (Ventura, Bend, Sausalito) has a looped, nubby texture; sherpa (Burbank, Pasadena) is fluffier; chenille (Provo, Palo Alto) is smooth and velvety. Light colors show marks sooner than darker ones. For more light finishes, see our white king bed frames.
California king cloud beds
For a 72 x 84 inch mattress, see the Pasadena in cream sherpa, the Palo Alto in beige chenille with square tufted padding, and the Berkeley in white. All three are also listed with our California king bed frames.

Cloud beds: questions
What is a cloud bed frame?
It is an upholstered platform bed with thick padding all around and soft rounded edges, so the whole frame looks and feels soft. Most have a low base and a padded headboard. The name describes a style, not a brand.
Do cloud beds need a box spring?
No. The frames here carry the mattress on slats or a solid deck. For the Sausalito, the maker does not say: write to us before ordering and we will ask.
How much bigger than the mattress is a cloud bed?
Our king cloud beds are 82.67 to 92.91 inches wide, about 7 to 17 inches wider than a 76 inch king mattress. Check the outside size on each product page and leave room to walk around the bed.
Is a cloud bed worth it?
If you like a soft, quiet look with no sharp corners, yes. Keep in mind that it takes more floor space than a slim frame, light fabrics need more care, and very low models are harder to get out of for people with knee or hip trouble.
Do you have cloud beds in California king?
Yes: the Pasadena, the Palo Alto and the Berkeley fit a 72 x 84 inch California king mattress.
How much is a cloud bed?
The Pasadena and the Burbank are the lowest priced and the Sausalito the highest; each card above shows the current price, with free shipping to the lower 48 states and Washington, DC.
Where can I buy a cloud bed?
Here: this page lists 9 cloud bed frames in king and California king, each with its real outside size.
How do you make your bed feel like a cloud?
The frame gives the soft look; the feel comes from what is on it. A plush mattress topper, a down or down-alternative duvet and a couple of large pillows against the padded headboard do most of the work.
