8 black king size bed frames, every one measured outside-in

Black King Size Beds

Miami king size metal bed frame in ivory with curved rails, in a bright UK bedroom

Eight king size bed frames finished in black, from £319. Black is the finish that shows dust and shows scratches, so what matters is the material underneath: powder-coated steel wipes clean and touches up, black crushed velvet holds light and hides marks, and a painted wooden frame chips at the corners. Each one below says which it is.

Every frame here lists its outside width and length, not just the mattress size, because a 150 x 200 cm mattress sits in a frame that is 159 to 175 cm wide. Compare the full range in king size beds, or see metal king size bed frames, which is where most of the black finishes are.

Room check

Black makes a bed look bigger, not smaller

A dark frame reads as a solid block against a light wall, so in a small room it draws the eye more than a pale one. That is a matter of taste rather than measurement, and the measurement is what decides whether the bed fits: allow a room about 2.8 x 3.0 m for a king size frame with one 60 cm walkway, and 3.2 x 3.4 m for a walkway on both sides with bedside tables.

The frames here are 150 x 200 cm of mattress inside a larger frame. Check the outside figure on the card against your wall before you order, and read the king size bed dimensions guide if you want the full chart.

Questions

Black king size beds, answered

Does a black metal frame chip?

Powder coating is baked on and hard, but a sharp knock on an edge will chip it, and on black the bare steel underneath shows as a pale mark. A touch-up pen covers it. If the bed will be moved often, the wrought iron Callum has a heavier gauge and a five year guarantee.

Is black crushed velvet actually black?

It reads as deep charcoal in daylight and close to black at night. Crushed velvet has a pile that catches light from every direction, so the colour shifts as you walk round it. If you want flat, even black, choose a plain fabric or a steel frame instead.

Do black frames show dust?

Yes, more than pale ones, and velvet more than steel. A dry microfibre cloth on the hard finishes and a soft brush attachment on the velvet is all it takes. No black finish here needs a special cleaner, and abrasives should not be used on any of them.
