Berkeley Super King Size Bed Frame – Cream and Black

The Berkeley super king size bed frame pairs plush cream velvet upholstery with a black metal headboard surround. The tall fluted headboard gives the frame plenty of presence, while the neutral cream and black colourway keeps things simple to work with in almost any bedroom. Measuring 1990mm wide, 2200mm deep and 1410mm high, it suits a standard UK super king mattress and arrives across two boxes for full assembly at home. The velvet panels and metal frame come together in a look that feels soft yet structured.

This bed frame settles into a main bedroom or guest room without demanding a particular look. The monochrome finish works alongside soft pastels, warm woods or darker walls, so you can build the rest of the room around it. The height of the headboard makes it a natural anchor for the space, comfortable to lean against for reading, and the velvet adds a softer feel against the cooler tone of the metal frame. It suits both open, airy rooms and cosier layouts where you want a clear focal point.

The frame is built from velvet-covered panels and a metal structure, with the headboard surround finished in matt black. A sprung slatted base sits within, giving the mattress a little give for added comfort and support over time. Assembly is required from two packs, and the frame weighs 62.5kg in total, so a second pair of hands helps with lifting and positioning. To keep it looking its best, wipe the velvet with a damp cloth or lift dust away with a soft brush, working gently in the direction of the pile.

What size mattress does this bed frame take?

This is a super king size frame, so it takes a standard UK super king mattress measuring 1800 by 2000mm. The overall footprint is 1990mm wide and 2200mm deep, so allow room around the frame for the headboard height and for making the bed comfortably.

What is the headboard made from?

The headboard has a tall fluted velvet-covered front with a metal surround finished in matt black. The velvet gives a soft feel for leaning against, while the black metal frames the panel and gives the whole piece a clear structure and a bit of height in the room.

Does it come with a base for the mattress?

Yes, the frame includes a sprung slatted base within the structure. The slats have a little give, which adds comfort and support beneath the mattress. There is no need for an additional bed base, as the mattress sits directly on the sprung slats inside the frame.

How do I clean the velvet upholstery?

Keep the velvet looking its best by wiping it gently with a damp cloth, or lift away dust and light debris with a soft brush. Work in the direction of the pile and avoid soaking the fabric. The same gentle approach suits the matt black metal parts of the frame.

Is assembly difficult?

The bed frame arrives in two boxes and needs full assembly at home. At 62.5kg in total it is fairly heavy, so we recommend a second person to help with lifting and positioning the panels and headboard. Follow the supplied instructions and secure all fixings before use.
