King Beds with Bookcase Headboard

A king bed with a bookcase headboard has open cubbies or shelves where a plain panel would be, for books, a lamp or a phone on charge. We have six, all for a 76 x 80 inch king mattress; four have a light or charging ports built in, and five need no box spring, as their makers say.

In short: six king beds come with a bookcase headboard here, checked on November 13, 2026, and each gives you open cubbies or shelves; three add a built-in light, three have USB ports and four have drawers. The light is an LED strip on the Detroit and the Annapolis and a touch-control strip on the Asheville. USB ports: the Asheville (USB-A and USB-C), the Detroit (2 outlets, USB-A and USB-C) and the Missoula (2 outlets and 2 USB). Drawers: two on the Annapolis and the Missoula, eight on the Montauk and the Charleston. You may also see this kind of bed sold as a bookcase bed or a headboard with storage.

A bookcase headboard is deeper than a panel, 9 to 11.3 inches on the beds whose product pages give it, so the frame runs longer than the mattress and stands further from the wall. Each product page gives the outside size and the shelf sizes. For storage behind sliding doors instead, see our farmhouse king bed frames, and for every bed with storage, our king bed frames with storage.

Bookcase plus drawers: the white Montauk pairs its 53.6 inch bookcase headboard with eight drawers, two deep ones on each side and four at the foot.

Included with all six: the bookcase headboard and the frame, which you assemble at home. The mattress, pillows and bedding are not included. Delivery is free to the lower 48 states and Washington, DC: five come by parcel carrier in 1 to 3 boxes, and the Charleston by freight truck in 4 cartons, on a delivery appointment the carrier calls you to book. Returns are accepted within 30 days, unused and in the original packaging, less a 15% restocking fee and the return shipping; damaged or missing parts reported within 48 hours, with photos, are replaced or refunded at no cost.
