Overview

A velvet bed sized for smaller bedrooms

The Aurora brings velvet-textured upholstery to smaller bedrooms and first homes — a tall vertical channel-tufted headboard with soft curved edges at the top corners, a clean low-profile upholstered base, and dark tapered legs. It's a plain platform bed with no storage drawers or bench — the emphasis is on a simple, uncluttered base that keeps the price accessible. Available in Grey or Oatmeal velvet-textured upholstery, in Double and Queen sizes.

Vertical channel-tufted headboard

Tall channel detail runs the full width of the headboard, adding visual height and depth without dominating the room.

Subtle curved wing edges

The top corners of the headboard flare gently outward — a softer interpretation of a wing-back profile, without the bulk of a full statement headboard.

Slat base, wooden middle bar

Straight wooden slats sit on a wooden middle support bar included where applicable for the size — it takes a standard mattress directly, no box spring needed.

Two velvet colourways

Warm Oatmeal for cosy, traditional bedroom schemes, or cool Grey for contemporary palettes — same construction, two distinct looks.

Works with your mattress

Will it fit your mattress?

A bed frame is only right with the right mattress. Here's what's included, what to buy, and how the slat base supports it — the details most bed listings leave out.

🛏️

Mattress not included

Sold as the frame only. Choose your size, then pair a standard Australian mattress of the same size. See mattress options →

📏

Buy the matching size

Each frame fits a standard AU mattress of the same name — a Queen frame takes a 153 × 203 cm Queen mattress. The full size chart is in Dimensions.

🪵

Slat base, no box spring

The wooden slat base with centre support bar holds the mattress directly — no box spring or extra foundation needed. Works with foam, hybrid and spring mattresses.

Slat base & mattress support

Slat base included — suited to spring mattresses, and supports most foam and hybrid mattresses too. If you're matching a specific foam or hybrid mattress, check the slat spacing with our team before ordering, since some foam-mattress warranties require gaps under ~7.5 cm.

Total height = slat height (33 cm) + your mattress depth. Footboard height isn't confirmed on our current spec sheet — contact our team on 07 3161 5415 if you need it. Ships flat-packed in 4 boxes; measure your access route and check the boxes fit your vehicle for pickup. A screwdriver is needed (electric drill recommended); two people recommended. Measurements are taken by hand and can vary slightly between shipments.

📦Ships flat-packed

Cartons clear a standard ~80 cm doorway even when the assembled piece is large. Still worth measuring for the bigger sizes.

🧭Room clearance

Allow 60–75 cm around the piece to move comfortably; remember the frame footprint runs a few cm larger than the mattress.

📐Total height

Total height = base + your mattress, so a tall base plus a deep mattress can sit high — worth checking for getting in and out.

🚙Pickup vehicle

For free Rocklea pickup, a flat-pack fits most cars, but an assembled or oversized item needs a van, ute or trailer.

Care instructions

🌀

Vacuum lightly each week

Use a soft-brush vacuum attachment on low suction across the channel detail and side rails. Velvet pile is more delicate than flat fabric — aggressive vacuuming flattens the pile over time.

💧

Address spills right away

Blot fabric spills with a clean dry cloth, working from the outside in. Don't rub — rubbing on velvet smears the pile direction and can leave a permanent mark even after the stain clears.

☀️

Position away from direct sun

Sustained UV fades velvet visibly over time. Oatmeal shows fading more than Grey, but both colours benefit from being kept out of harsh afternoon sun.

↕️

Brush the pile in one direction

If the velvet looks uneven after vacuuming or sitting up against the headboard, run a soft brush across the pile in one consistent direction to restore the even finish.

Specs, styling & related ranges

Velvet beds are usually reserved for master bedrooms — large headboards, King-sized frames, and prices to match. The Aurora Bed Frame brings the velvet look into smaller bedrooms and first homes at a more accessible price point. The headboard is tall enough to read as a statement piece, with vertical channel-tufting and subtle curved wing edges at the top corners, but the bed itself sits on a clean low-profile base — no storage benches, drawer mechanisms, or full wing-back silhouettes, which is exactly what keeps a premium-look velvet bed at this price.

The upholstery is a velvet-textured fabric across every visible surface — headboard, side rails and footboard. Most modern furniture velvet is a synthetic polyester blend rather than silk or cotton velvet; the visual depth and soft-touch feel are typical of velvet regardless of fibre composition, and care is straightforward — gentle vacuuming, prompt spill response, and keeping the bed out of harsh direct sun. Oatmeal suits traditional, transitional and cosy bedroom schemes; Grey suits contemporary and minimalist palettes.

Available in Double and Queen only, the Aurora is built around a wooden internal frame with straight wooden slats included, and a wooden middle support bar where applicable for the size. It's a plain platform bed with no under-bed storage drawers or bench. Pair it with the right mattress — browse our Mattress-in-a-Box, memory foam and full mattress range.
