Wingback King Beds

Charlotte cream velvet wingback king bed in a bedroom

A wingback king bed has a headboard whose sides fold forward into wings around the pillows. Ours stand 37.7 to 60 inches tall. Ten fit a 76 x 80 inch king mattress, three a 72 x 84 inch California king, and 11 of the 13 need no box spring; on the Phoenix and the Flagstaff, the makers' listings contradict themselves.

You will find velvet, boucle, linen and canvas wingbacks, two fluted wood-look frames and a tall faux leather bed. Each product page gives the outside size and the materials the maker lists. For more padded beds, see our upholstered king beds; for headboards over 50 inches, our king beds with a tall headboard.

Measuring the wall first? Our guide to headboard sizes explains what to check.

Wingbacks by overall height: the cream boucle Hanover sleigh bed at 56 inches, the arched bouclé Coronado at 53.35 inches and the Sacramento at 52.5 inches, both for a California king, then the fluted Phoenix lift storage bed at 44.5 inches and the white boucle Scottsdale at 37.72 inches.

Several of these headboards are upholstered in velvet: see all our velvet king beds.

Two of these wingbacks also sit in our king sleigh bed collection: the Hanover in cream boucle and the Natchez in tufted velvet.

Six of these wingbacks, from the velvet Orlando to the fluted Flagstaff, also appear on our heavy duty king bed frame page, each rated for 1,000 lb by its maker.

Sizing and buying guides

Before you choose

Which wingback king bed for your room?

Upholstered wingbacks

The Charlotte has a cream velvet wingback headboard quilted in deep diamond button tufting, with a low scalloped footboard to match. The Hartford is an ivory bed whose 54 inch camelback headboard curves up at the center and folds forward into soft wings. The Scottsdale, in white boucle, has a softly winged headboard split into two padded panels over a wood-tone base closed down to the floor.

Wingbacks with extras

The Santa Fe pairs a button-tufted gray linen wingback with an all-metal frame, a color LED strip and 4 drawers. The Natchez is a sleigh bed in beige or black velvet whose diamond-tufted headboard has curved side wings. The Hanover, in cream boucle, is a sleigh bed with a 56 inch wingback headboard and a thin band of oak at the base. The Phoenix is fluted from its winged headboard down to the base, and its whole slatted deck lifts over a storage well.

Fluted wood look and faux leather

The Flagstaff has a tall wingback headboard and an enclosed base, both clad in vertical fluting with a light natural wood look, 52.4 inches tall. The Vail is the tallest here: a 60 inch headboard with three channels of white faux leather held between two gray wood-grain wings.

California king

The Irvine has a 54 inch headboard whose two side wings curve gently toward the pillows, in chenille or canvas. The Sacramento has a 52.5 inch headboard with straight wings, in boucle or canvas, on a wood base. The Coronado has a 53.35 inch arched headboard that curves forward into two slim wings, in beige, light gray or dark gray bouclé. All three fit a 72 x 84 inch mattress; more in our California king bed frames.

Check the length and the width

Wings and padding take room. The Santa Fe's winged headboard adds close to 8 inches to the length of the mattress, and the Vail measures 89 x 96 inches outside. The others run 77.5 to 87.4 inches wide. Our room calculator checks the outside size against your walls.

Slats, weight and delivery

Every bed here carries the mattress on slats or a platform, so you skip the box spring; only on the Phoenix and the Flagstaff do the makers' listings contradict themselves, so check those two with us before buying. Where the makers give a weight capacity, it is 440 lb (the Vail) to 1,000 lb. Eleven ship by parcel carrier in 1 or 2 boxes; the Vail and the Hanover come by freight truck, by appointment. Shipping is free to the lower 48 states and DC.

Wingback king beds: questions people ask

What is a wingback bed?

A bed whose headboard has side panels, the wings, that fold or curve forward around the pillows, like a wingback chair. They can be padded and upholstered, or clad in a fluted wood-look finish.

How tall is a wingback king headboard?

Ours stand 37.7 to 60 inches from the floor. The tallest is the Vail at 60 inches; the Hartford and the Irvine reach 54 inches.

Does a wingback bed take more space?

A little. The wings and the padding add width and length: the Santa Fe's winged headboard adds close to 8 inches to the length of the mattress, and the Vail measures 89 x 96 inches. Check the outside size on each product page.

Do wingback king beds need a box spring?

Eleven of the thirteen do not: they carry the mattress on slats or a platform. On the Phoenix and the Flagstaff the maker's listing contradicts itself, so check with us before buying.

Do you have a California king wingback bed?

Yes, three: the Irvine, with a 54 inch headboard in chenille or canvas, the Sacramento, with a 52.5 inch headboard in boucle or canvas, and the Coronado, with a 53.35 inch arched headboard in bouclé.

Which fabrics do your wingback beds come in?

Velvet (Charlotte, Natchez), boucle (Scottsdale, Hanover, Coronado, and the Sacramento in one of its two fabrics), linen (Santa Fe), canvas or a canvas look (Hartford, and the Irvine and Sacramento options), chenille (Irvine) and white faux leather (Vail). The Flagstaff and the Phoenix have fluted wood-look panels instead of fabric.

How much weight does a wingback king bed hold?

Our makers give 440 lb for the Vail and 800 to 1,000 lb for the others, except the Hanover and the Coronado, whose makers give no figure.

Is a wingback bed good with a tall headboard?

Yes: wings are most visible on a tall headboard. Eight of ours stand 48 inches or more; see also our king beds with a tall headboard.
