King Panel Beds
A panel bed has a headboard and a footboard built from panels set in a frame, like a cabinet door: flat wood, raised panels, planks or inserts of cane or fabric. We have nine, seven for a 76 x 80 inch king mattress and two for a 72 x 84 inch California king, from $379.99 to $1,539.99 at current prices.
Five carry the mattress on slats with no box spring; the other four need a box spring, a foundation or a bunkie board, as their makers say. Each product page gives the outside size and the headboard and footboard heights. For every wood frame, see our wood king bed frames, and for a headboard without a footboard, our king bed frames. The seven king-size panel beds also appear in our king bed frames with a headboard and footboard, alongside sleigh, upholstered, canopy and storage beds whose footboard stands above the side rails.

Which king panel bed for you?
Raised panels, the cottage look
The Burlington, $549.99, is a white painted pine bed with a 52.8 inch headboard of three raised panels under a crown molding, a 20.3 inch paneled footboard on turned bun feet, and a power strip with 2 outlets and 2 USB ports under one side rail. The Burlingame, $1,034.99, is the California king version of that look: two raised panels under a crown molding on a 54 inch headboard, a matching 20 inch footboard and bun feet, delivered by freight truck.
Plain and planked wood
The Tahoe, $659.99 in black, white or oak, keeps the panels low: a 35.4 inch headboard, a 13.8 inch footboard and about 2 inches of clearance under the frame. The Greenville, $724.99, has horizontal planks framed in black on a 48 inch headboard and a matching low footboard, in a weathered antique gray, and at 81 inches long it takes barely more floor than the mattress. The Westport, $379.99, is a mid-century bed with an open top rail over two recessed panels, slim turned legs and a 47.7 inch height, in gray oak, dark walnut or walnut finish. The Kingston, $489.99, has two recessed panels under a flat cap at 42.3 inches and a matching footboard, in a light seadrift wood finish.
Panels of linen, cane or texture
The Bozeman, $579.99, sets three padded linen panels in a walnut-finish wood headboard with turned finials on all four posts and a low footboard with recessed panels. The Capitola, $1,539.99, uses open natural cane panels in a sand-washed wood frame, on a 56.25 inch headboard and a 24.75 inch footboard, with brass-tone tapered legs. The Solvang, $1,024.99, is a white California king with a fine wave texture across three headboard panels and the footboard, framed by mitered moldings.
Size, support and delivery
Outside, these frames measure 77.7 to 82 inches wide and 81 to 90 inches long, and stand 35.4 to 56.25 inches tall. The Westport, the Kingston, the Burlington, the Bozeman and the Tahoe come with slats and need no box spring. The Greenville needs a box spring or a bunkie board, and the Solvang, the Burlingame and the Capitola a box spring or a foundation. Eight ship by parcel carrier to your door, in 1 to 3 boxes; the Burlingame comes by freight truck.

King panel beds: questions people ask
What is a panel bed?
A bed whose headboard, and usually footboard, are made of panels held in a frame, like a cabinet door. The panels can be flat, raised, planked or filled with another material: on ours, raised wood panels on the Burlington, planks on the Greenville, cane on the Capitola and padded linen on the Bozeman. Our guide what is a panel bed? explains how it differs from a platform bed and which panel beds need a box spring.
Do panel beds need a box spring?
Some do. Of our nine, the Westport, the Kingston, the Burlington, the Bozeman and the Tahoe come with slats and need none. The Greenville needs a box spring or a bunkie board, and the Solvang, the Burlingame and the Capitola a box spring or a foundation, as their makers say.
What is the cheapest king panel bed?
The Westport, $379.99 at current prices, then the Kingston at $489.99 and the Burlington at $549.99.
What is the difference between a panel bed and a sleigh bed?
A panel bed has straight, flat-topped panels; a sleigh bed curls its headboard and footboard outward like a sleigh. Our guide what is a sleigh bed? compares the two, and our king size sleigh beds show the curved style.
Do you have a California king panel bed?
Yes, two: the white Solvang ($1,024.99) with wave-textured panels, and the white Burlingame ($1,034.99) with raised panels under a crown molding. All our California king frames are in our California king collection.
Does a footboard make the bed longer?
A little. Our nine panel beds measure 81 to 90 inches long outside, against an 80 inch king or 84 inch California king mattress; the Greenville adds only an inch. Each product page gives the outside size from the maker.
How are king panel beds delivered?
Eight ship by parcel carrier to your door, in 1 to 3 boxes. The Burlingame comes by freight truck. Shipping is free to the lower 48 states and Washington, DC.
