Where to Find the Best Upholstered Bed Frames

You can find the best upholstered bed frames in Houston, Texas, at Texas Mattress Makers and Living Designs Furniture. We have over 45 years of furniture manufacturing experience, and it shows up in our products and craftsmanship.

Let’s talk about the foundation of good sleep — literally. Your bed frame isn’t just a platform that holds your mattress off the floor; it’s the basis of everything from your sleep quality to your bedroom’s entire aesthetic. And if you’ve been shopping around Houston for the perfect bed frame, you’ve probably noticed that upholstered bed frames are having a major moment right now. But here’s the thing: not all upholstered bed frames are created equal.

At Texas Mattress Makers, we sell upholstered bed frames that are handcrafted by our sister company, Living Designs Furniture, right here in our Downtown Houston factory. These aren’t mass-produced imports that look good in photos but fall apart in two years. We’re talking about locally made, custom-quality bed frames built to last — and we’re going to tell you exactly why they’re worth your investment.

Are upholstered bed frames worth the investment?

The short answer? Absolutely. Upholstered bed frames do more than just look beautiful — they provide genuine stability and support to your mattress, which means your body rests more comfortably and you sleep better. A well-constructed bed frame with proper support prevents your mattress from sagging prematurely and keeps everything aligned for optimal comfort.

Here are some benefits of upholstered bed frames:

Durable construction that lasts

Our local craftsmen make our handmade upholstered bed frames using solid hardwood — not particle board or flimsy materials that flex and creak. We’re talking about real craftsmanship built to standards you simply won’t find with imported furniture. This kind of construction means your bed frame won’t warp, won’t weaken, and won’t start falling apart after a few years. It’s furniture built the old-fashioned way, with quality materials and expert techniques that ensure it lasts for decades.

Superior support

If you’re sleeping with your mattress on the floor, you’re basically cutting your bed’s lifespan in half. Your mattress needs to be elevated off the floor and properly supported so that it can support you.

Every frame comes with wooden slats installed for extra support, which means your mattress gets the foundation it needs to perform properly. The slat system provides even weight distribution across your mattress, preventing sagging and extending the life of your mattress. It also allows for proper air circulation, which helps regulate temperature and prevents moisture buildup that causes mold and mildew.

Compatible with adjustable bases

This is a game-changer. If you have (or are considering) adjustable foundations, you need a bed frame that can accommodate them properly. Many upholstered frames on the market can’t handle adjustable bases, forcing you to choose between functionality and aesthetics.

If you’re searching for an upholstered bed frame for adjustable base compatibility, you’ve come to the right spot. With Texas Mattress Makers, you can enjoy the full functionality of your adjustable foundation wrapped in a beautiful upholstered frame. Elevate your head for reading, raise your feet for circulation, and find the perfect sleeping position — all while maintaining that polished, complete bedroom look. It’s the best of both worlds.

What makes our upholstered bed frames different

Purchasing your bed frame directly from a mattress manufacturer like Texas Mattress Makers comes with a lot of perks that save you time and money.

1. Local manufacturing

There’s something reassuring about knowing exactly where your furniture comes from. Every upholstered bed frame we sell is made by our sister company, Living Designs Furniture, right here in our shared Downtown Houston factory. You can literally visit the factory where your bed frame is being made! All of the materials we use, from the screws to the wood to the fabric, are sourced in the United States as well.

Here are a few benefits to shopping local:

• Supporting local Houston craftsmen 
• Keeping your dollars in the Houston community
• Less environmental impact (no crazy shipping or importing)
• Shorter lead times (we can create your bedframe in just 8-10 weeks)
• Better quality control when buying directly from the manufacturer

No assembly line. No supply chain issues. Just top-quality, American-made products that live up to your standards and expectations.

2. Full customization capabilities (for less money)

Beyond the manufacturing itself, we offer a level of service and customization that big retailers can’t match. While we do have models on our showroom floor, you can fully customize your very own upholstered bed frame to meet your needs. Have questions about construction? We can answer them. Need to adjust dimensions for your specific space? We can do that. Want performance fabric in a particular color? We’ve got what you’re looking for. 

Whether you need a queen upholstered bed frame​ that’s adjustable-friendly or a kids’ twin bed frame with storage underneath, our craftsmen can make what you envision — without the crazy markups. 

3. Stylish yet sturdy

Our upholstered bed frames aren’t just functional — they’re works of art. If you’re looking for ways to elevate your bedroom or guest room, design details like elegant tufting or modern channeling transform a simple bed frame into a true focal point. After all, the best mattress for guest rooms, kids’ rooms, or master bedrooms is one that makes you feel invited and comfortable.

Tufting and channeling also add structural integrity to the upholstery, ensuring the fabric stays smooth and beautiful for years to come. It’s not just about looks; it’s about longevity and quality construction.

With over 100 fabric options available, you can find the perfect match for your bedroom’s color palette and your lifestyle needs. Whether you’re looking for a queen upholstered bed frame in a neutral Crypton or a king-sized statement piece in rich velvet, we have fabrics to suit every style. 

Upholstered bed frames FAQ

How long do upholstered bed frames last?

A well-made upholstered bed frame can last 20+ years with proper care. A cheap one will need to be replaced every few years.

Our upholstered frames made by our sister company Living Designs Furniture are built to last decades, not just years. The solid hardwood construction provides a sturdy foundation that won’t warp or weaken over time. The professional upholstery work uses techniques and materials designed for longevity — we’re talking about proper padding, quality fabrics, and construction methods that ensure the upholstery stays smooth and beautiful for the long haul.

Cheap imported frames might give you a few years before the fabric starts wearing thin, the frame starts wobbling, or the whole thing needs to be replaced. If you’ve ever bought furniture that seemed fine at first but fell apart surprisingly quickly, you know exactly what we’re talking about.

Yes, our upholstered bed frames are an investment upfront, but when you calculate the cost per year over decades of use, they’re actually more cost-efficient than constantly replacing cheaper options.

Is an upholstered bed frame good for kids?

Absolutely! Upholstered bed frames are perfect for toddlers and teens alike. 

The padded edges provide a safer, softer surface compared to exposed wooden or metal frames — especially important for younger children who might bump into the bed during play. Plus, upholstered frames in fun fabrics or colors can grow with your child in a way that themed furniture can’t. 

Pair it with the right mattress for kids, and you’ve created a bedroom that’s both stylish and age-appropriate. Unlike character beds they’ll outgrow in two years, a well-made upholstered bed frame works from toddler years through their teenage phase.
