The story

For a bedroom kept low and quiet, where the bed is the softest thing in it.

A low bed changes a room. The ceiling seems higher, the window looks bigger and the whole space feels calmer. The Fontenoy keeps close to the floor, with a headboard only 27.5 inches high, so it sits easily under a window or a wide piece of art, and in a small bedroom it leaves the walls clear.

Broad padded rails wrap the sides and foot, and the mattress settles down inside them, so the bed reads as one soft, solid shape. Everything is upholstered in a warm ivory beige chenille over foam, on a solid wood base frame with 12 wooden slats. It comes as a queen or a king.

The design

Three details that make the Fontenoy.

The Fontenoy is plain on purpose, so the few details it has matter. These three explain the fabric, the rails and the sizes.

Soft Ivory Chenille

Up close, the headboard and rails are padded with foam and covered in a warm ivory beige chenille with a fine woven texture, plain on every face.

Broad Rails, the Mattress Inside

Broad Rails, the Mattress Inside

Flat-sided rails 10.5 inches high and 3 thick wrap the sides and foot. The slats sit 6.5 inches below their top, so the mattress settles into the frame.

The queen is 66.5 inches wide and the king 83.1, both 87.5 long, with a plain headboard 27.5 inches from the floor. Twelve wooden slats on a solid wood base frame hold up to 800 lb.

Dimensions

Will it fit?

Queen

Width 66.5″ 169 cm
Depth 87.5″ 222 cm
Height 27.5″ 70 cm

Planning tip. The queen is 66.5" (169 cm) wide and the king 83.1" (211 cm), both 87.5" (222 cm) long. Allow about 30" (75 cm) at the sides and foot: roughly a 10.5 x 10 ft (3.2 x 3 m) room for the queen and 12 x 10 ft (3.7 x 3 m) for the king. The headboard is only 27.5" (70 cm) high, below most window sills. The slats sit 6.5" (16.5 cm) below the top of the 10.5" (27 cm) rails, so an 8" to 12" mattress puts the top of the bed roughly 12" to 16" (30 to 41 cm) from the floor; lower nightstands suit it best.

Good to know

Questions, answered.

What is the difference between the queen and the king?

Only the width. The queen is 66.5" (169 cm) wide and the king 83.1" (211 cm); both are 87.5" (222 cm) long and 27.5" (70 cm) high, and both hold up to 800 lb. The queen has 3 support legs under its slats and the king 6.

What mattress does it take?

A queen or king mattress, to match the size you choose, 8" to 12" thick. It rests on 12 wooden slats on a solid wood base frame, inside rails that rise 6.5" (16.5 cm) above the slats. Mattress and bedding are not included.

How high is it?

The headboard is 27.5" (70 cm) from the floor and the padded rails 10.5" (27 cm), with small black feet at the corners, so it is a low bed.

How does it go together?

Every part is labelled and all tools are included. Two adults can assemble it in about an hour.
