High Foot End Beds

High Foot End Beds buying guide

High Foot End Beds create a more enclosed, traditional bed shape, with a matching or taller panel at the foot as well as the head. In this collection, that look appears across modern, farmhouse, traditional and classic designs, so it can suit anything from a cleaner painted bedroom to a warmer oak-led scheme.

Size is one of the first things to check. Measure the mattress space and make sure there is enough room to walk around the foot end, with comfortable clearance for wardrobes, drawers and the bedroom door. A higher footboard can make the end of the bed feel more defined, which many shoppers like in larger rooms. Common sizes here include 4ft 6in Double Beds, along with some 3ft Single Beds, 4ft Small Double Beds and 5ft King Size Beds.

High Foot End Beds materials and finishes

High Foot End Beds in this range are mainly made in oak, MDF and pine, with some mixed constructions such as solid oak with veneers, pine with MDF, and painted beech solids with MDF. That gives you a choice between natural wood grain looks and painted finishes, including white, grey, cream, ivory painted, soft white and oak, light oak and rustic oak. For day-to-day care, wood and painted surfaces are usually easiest to keep looking tidy with a soft cloth and gentle treatment around edges and corners.

The overall look varies more than the bed shape might suggest. Oak and rustic finishes lean neatly into farmhouse and country interiors, while white and grey painted frames can feel lighter and more modern.

All products in this category are supplied flat packed, so checking access on stairs, around landings and through tighter doorways is a useful step before ordering.
