RH Cloud Slipcovered Bed

RH's cloud bed: a low, footless frame wrapped in a plush slipcover, the look a whole Amazon category now copies.

At RH$5,680Queen, White Washed Belgian Flax Linen, regular price

Dupes from $270 · save up to 95%

A low platform with a wide padded rail all the way round and a slipcovered headboard backed by goose-feather cushions, so there's no hard edge anywhere. It's the bed behind the cloud-bed trend.

The price buys a washable Belgian linen slipcover (or one of RH's many other fabrics), made-to-order sizing and RH's in-home delivery. What the Amazon versions copy is the shape: soft, deep and edge-free.

    • Rounded foam all round: no stubbed toes
    • Goes together quickly

    Keep in mind

Questions

Do the Amazon versions need a box spring?

No. Each has a steel or metal frame with slats inside its padding, so a mattress goes straight on top.

Can you sit on the edge?

Gently. The rails are soft foam over a frame, which is the point of the look, and owners of the RECCI say standing on it or dropping onto the edge can tear it.

What size rug goes under a queen cloud bed?

An 8×10 for most rooms, turned across the bed. Our rug size guide draws every size to scale.
