Frequently Asked Questions
What is channel tufting and why is it special?
Channel tufting is an upholstery technique that creates parallel rows of raised, padded sections separated by stitched seams. On the Daphne Bed, horizontal channeling runs across the headboard and footboard, creating a linear, textured appearance that adds visual depth and architectural sophistication. This design technique originated in mid-century modern furniture and remains a timeless choice for contemporary bedroom styling.
What is performance fabric and how does it work?
Performance fabrics are specially engineered textiles designed to resist stains, spills, fading, and wear far better than standard upholstery. The Daphne Bed's performance fabric features tightly woven fibers and advanced treatments that prevent liquids from absorbing into the material, making spills easy to blot away before they become permanent stains. This technology ensures your bed maintains its beautiful appearance even with daily use.
Is the performance fabric really stain-resistant?
Yes! The Daphne Bed's high-performance upholstery is specifically created to withstand common household stains including water, coffee, wine, and food spills. While no fabric is completely stain-proof, performance fabrics dramatically reduce stain absorption and make cleanup significantly easier. Simply blot spills promptly with a clean cloth, and most will wipe away without leaving marks.
What are the exact dimensions for each size?
The King size measures 68.75"W × 89.75"D × 56.25"H and weighs 231.50 lbs, perfect for spacious primary bedrooms. The Queen size measures 64.75"W × 88.25"D × 56.25"H and weighs 214.96 lbs, ideal for smaller primary bedrooms or guest rooms. Both sizes feature the same impressive 56.25" headboard height for a commanding, luxurious presence.
What bedroom styles does the Daphne Bed complement?
The Daphne Bed's horizontal channel tufting and clean lines work beautifully in modern, contemporary, mid-century modern, transitional, and minimalist bedroom interiors. The linear channeling creates a sophisticated focal point that pairs perfectly with streamlined furniture, geometric décor, and both neutral and bold color palettes. It's ideal for creating a hotel-inspired, upscale bedroom aesthetic.
How do I clean and maintain the performance fabric?
Regular maintenance is simple: vacuum the upholstery weekly with an upholstery attachment to remove dust and debris. For spills, immediately blot (don't rub) with a clean, damp cloth—the performance fabric's stain resistance will help prevent absorption. For deeper cleaning, use a mild fabric cleaner specifically designed for performance upholstery. Always follow the care instructions included with your bed.
Is performance fabric pet-friendly?
Absolutely! Performance fabrics are an excellent choice for pet owners. The Daphne Bed's upholstery resists pet hair accumulation, cleans easily, and stands up to the wear and tear pets can cause. The durable construction and stain-resistant properties make it ideal for households with cats or dogs, providing peace of mind without sacrificing style.
What colors are available?
The Daphne Bed is available in four sophisticated performance fabric colors: Alcala Taupe (warm neutral), Cambric Ivory (soft cream), Sage Worn Velvet (muted green), and San Remo Ash (cool gray). Each color option features the same high-performance properties and horizontal channel tufting design, allowing you to choose the perfect match for your bedroom décor.
Is the headboard tall enough to lean against comfortably?
Yes! At 56.25" high, the Daphne Bed's headboard provides ample height for comfortable support when sitting up in bed to read, watch TV, work on a laptop, or relax. The horizontal channeling also adds cushioned comfort against your back. This tall headboard creates a luxurious, hotel-style bedroom experience.
Do I need a box spring with the Daphne Bed?
The Daphne Bed's platform design accommodates standard mattresses. Depending on your preferred mattress height and the bed's internal support structure, you may or may not need a box spring. For optimal proportions with the tall headboard, we recommend a mattress thickness between 10" and 14". Contact our customer service team for specific recommendations based on your mattress type.
How difficult is assembly?
Assembly is straightforward and typically takes 2–3 hours with basic household tools. The bed arrives with detailed step-by-step instructions, and all necessary hardware is included. The substantial weight (214–231 lbs) ensures excellent stability once assembled, though we recommend having two people available during setup. Our customer service team is available to assist with any assembly questions.
Will the performance fabric fade over time?
Performance fabrics are specifically engineered to resist fading from sunlight and everyday exposure far better than standard upholstery. While all fabrics will eventually show some wear with years of use and direct sunlight exposure, the Daphne Bed's high-performance upholstery maintains its color vibrancy significantly longer than traditional fabrics, ensuring your bed looks beautiful for years to come.
Is the Daphne Bed suitable for everyday use?
Absolutely. The Daphne Bed is specifically designed for everyday life with its durable construction and high-performance fabric technology. Unlike delicate upholstered beds that require careful handling, the Daphne Bed welcomes daily use, active households, and real-world living while maintaining its sophisticated appearance and structural integrity.
Can I use different mattress types with this bed?
Yes! The Daphne Bed accommodates all standard mattress types including memory foam, hybrid, latex, and innerspring mattresses. The platform design provides proper support regardless of mattress construction, giving you flexibility to choose your preferred sleep surface while enjoying the bed's beautiful channeled upholstery and performance fabric benefits.
Is this bed compatible with an adjustable mattress base?
Yes, this bed is fully compatible with adjustable mattress bases and will work seamlessly with your adjustable base setup.
