Choosing a new bed is one of the most impactful decisions you can make for your bedroom. The frame sets the tone for everything else in the room: the colours, the furniture, the overall feel. But for most buyers, style alone is not enough. Storage matters just as much, especially in homes where space is genuinely limited.
Wingback beds with storage solve both problems in a single purchase. MoonSleep Beds, a UK bed specialist based in West Yorkshire, offers a wide collection of wingback storage beds spanning every size, fabric, and style preference. Whether you are furnishing a compact spare room or a spacious master bedroom, the ideas below drawn directly from the MoonSleep Beds range will help you find the right direction.
Go Timeless with a Classic Wingback Ottoman Bed
If you want a bed that will not date, a clean-lined wingback ottoman design is the most reliable starting point. The structured headboard with side wings gives the room a timeless, well-considered look, while the gas-lift ottoman base underneath handles all your hidden storage needs in one smooth mechanism.
The Phantom Wing Back Bed is one of the strongest examples of this idea. Its handcrafted frame and balanced wing proportions work equally well in traditional and modern bedroom settings. Available from 3ft Single through to 6ft Super King, it suits everything from a teenager's room to a master bedroom. If you are unsure where to start, a classic ottoman wingback in a neutral plush velvet or chenille is almost always the right answer.
Choose Crushed Velvet for a Glamorous Bedroom Upgrade
For buyers who want their bedroom to feel genuinely luxurious, crushed velvet is the fabric choice that delivers the most visual impact. Its light-reflecting finish adds depth and drama to any wingback headboard, making the entire room feel more considered and styled without any additional effort on your part. Rich jewel tones of midnight blue, emerald, or charcoal work especially well with this fabric, turning the bed into an undeniable centrepiece.
The Colette Wing Bed and the Pancake Puff Wingback Bed are both strong choices for a glamorous bedroom upgrade. Their wingback silhouettes carry visual weight confidently, and the ottoman storage base keeps the floor space clean and uncluttered allowing the headboard to do all the work.
Maximise Storage in a Small Bedroom with an Ottoman Base
Small bedrooms in homes particularly in flats, terraced houses, or older properties rarely have enough wardrobe or shelf space to meet everyday needs. An ottoman wingback bed addresses this directly by turning the space beneath the mattress into a large, accessible storage compartment.
The Monaco Wingback Bed, Christopher Wingback Bed, and Crungy Wing Bed are all strong budget-conscious choices for this idea. Each uses a full ottoman base, includes a headboard and mattress as standard, and is available in compact sizes including 3ft Single and 4ft Small Double. For anyone trying to make a smaller room work harder, this is one of the most practical upgrades available.
Make a Statement in a Master Bedroom with a King or Super King Wingback
A large master bedroom deserves a bed that fills the space with intention. Oversized wingback headboards particularly at King or Super King size give a master bedroom the kind of presence that is usually only seen in high-end hotels. The wings frame, the sleeping area generously, the upholstered fabric softens the room acoustically, and the ottoman base keeps seasonal items, spare bedding, and extra pillows neatly hidden away.
The Pancake Wing Bed is the standout option for this idea. With its bold, structured headboard silhouette and generous ottoman storage, it is built for rooms where scale and statement matter.
Keep It Light and Modern with a Contemporary Fabric Finish
Not every buyer wants a dramatic or deeply saturated bedroom. Many homeowners prefer a clean, contemporary feel with light walls, minimal furniture, and a bed that feels polished without being overpowering. For this direction, choosing a wingback bed in a lighter, matte-finish fabric such as Naples velvet or a soft neutral tone keeps the room feeling open, calm, and well balanced.
The Lightly Wing Bed and the Looney Wing Bed suit this aesthetic well. Their proportions are refined rather than imposing, making them a strong fit for modern new-build homes or bedrooms with limited natural light. Styled with pale, neutral tones, either of these beds creates a calm, hotel-inspired atmosphere that is easy to build a room around.
Add Glamour with Diamante Detailing for a Truly Unique Bedroom
If you want a wingback bed that goes beyond fabric and silhouette alone, diamante detailing is the finishing touch that sets a bedroom apart entirely. It brings a decorative, jewellery-like quality to the headboard that no plain upholstered design can match. For the best effect, keep the surrounding décor simple and walls neutral; this allows the detailing to catch the light naturally and create atmosphere without the room feeling overdone.
The Linen Diamante Wing Bed is the standout choice for this idea. Its wingback headboard combines a linen-effect base with exquisite diamante detailing, creating a look that feels genuinely opulent while remaining refined. The full ottoman storage base keeps the floor clean and uncluttered so the headboard remains the visual focus at all times.
Elevate a Traditional Bedroom with a High Footboard Wingback Design
Most wingback beds focus all their visual weight on the headboard, leaving the foot of the bed as an afterthought. A high footboard wingback design changes this entirely; it creates a fully framed, architectural sleeping space that feels equally impressive from every angle. For traditional or period-style homes, pairing this frame with a deep, textured fabric such as chenille or plush velvet in a warm tone reinforces the sense of permanence and quality the design naturally suggests.
The High Footboard Wingback Bed is the model in the MoonSleep Beds range that combines a full wingback headboard with a tall, structured footboard. The ottoman storage base lifts smoothly from the side, so practical storage is not compromised by the footboard height. This bed is best suited to larger bedrooms with higher ceilings where its proportions can be fully appreciated.
What to Keep in Mind When Choosing Your Wingback Storage Bed
With so many strong options across the MoonSleep Beds range, the right choice comes down to a few key considerations. Room size and bed size should always come first; measure carefully, accounting for the additional width and depth that wingback headboards add beyond the mattress footprint. Storage type is the next decision: ottoman bases suit rooms where drawer clearance is limited, while drawer bases offer more convenient daily access if your room layout allows for it.
Fabric choice will shape how the bed sits within the room. Crushed velvet and plush velvet create warmth and luxury, Naples velvet suits contemporary and minimal interiors, and chenille is the most practical choice for family homes. All models in the MoonSleep Beds wingback collection come with the headboard and optional mattress included, across sizes from 3ft Single to 6ft Super King.
For buyers exploring alternatives alongside wingback styles, MoonSleep Beds also offers a divan beds collection and a luxury beds range worth considering.
FAQs
Which MoonSleep wingback bed is best for a small bedroom?
The Monaco Wingback Bed or Christopher Wingback Bed are both strong choices for smaller rooms. Both use full ottoman storage bases, come in compact sizes including Single and Small Double.
Is crushed velvet easy to maintain on a wingback bed?
Crushed velvet requires light brushing in one direction to maintain its signature finish. It should be kept away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. For everyday maintenance, a soft fabric attachment on a vacuum is sufficient.
Can a wingback bed work in a room with low ceilings?
Yes, with the right model. A mid-height wing profile in a lighter fabric colour keeps the proportions balanced in rooms with lower ceilings. Avoid the tallest headboard options in these spaces to prevent the room from feeling top-heavy.
What sizes are available across the MoonSleep Beds wingback range?
All models are available in 3ft Single, 4ft Small Double, 4ft 6" Double, 5ft King, and 6ft Super King, covering every standard UK bed size.
