14 French Wood and Upholstered Beds
Today I’m sharing 14 French beautiful wood and upholstered beds that are similar to mine.

Every year I update this post because I still get questions as to where I got my French upholstered bed from. I bought it just before I moved in this house 10 years ago now from Restoration Hardware and unfortunately they no longer carry it. Isn’t that always the case?
But I’m sharing 14 French wooden and upholstered beds and that are similar to the bed frame I have.
You can see how my bedroom style as changed slightly over the years and the bed has never changed. This is how it currently looks. I’ve recently updated the room with a new light fixture.
French bed Details
My French bed has curved feet and white distressed wood and a soft linen upholstered headboard. I do not have a footboard as it’s nice to be able to sit on the end of it and have the duvet hang over the end of the bed. The ones I found had either no footboard or a short footboard.
So these are the features that I kept in my mind while searching for beds that were similar to mine:
- Wooden frame
- Upholstered linen headboard
- Wooden feet
14 French style beds
1. Toulouse wood and upholstered bed
Although this bed isn’t curved like my headboard, I really love the natural wood finish with the linen fabric and nail heads. And it’s a bestseller!
This bed does come in neutral fabric options but I thought it would be fun to show this pretty blue pattern. It’s a gorgeous bed.
This upholstered bed has a lot of wood features which is so nice. I love the curved headboard.
4. Layton upholstered platform bed
I love the big upholstered headboard to this bed. It gives you a feeling of a modern but still gorgeous French bed.
I love the masculinity of this bed but with the touch of linen. A great compromise for a spouse that is opposed to the curved lines of a French style bed.
This headboard reads curves but only slightly. There is even upholstery on the small footboard area. This is gorgeous bed with lots of 5 star reviews.
7. Lafayette beige upholstered bed
The only wood on this bed are the feet but I still wanted to include it. There is a subtle nod to the French style with the curvature of the headboard and I love the upholstered sides to it as well. Very cozy.
This is another one with great reviews. The lines are pretty especially the waves on the footboard.
This is the only tufted bed I included in my list. It has wooden legs which I like and the tufted headboard is curved.
This is very similar to the Toulousse and has great lines, although no curves, a great contender if your partner doesn’t like curves.
11. Parker bed
This upholstered bed is a part of a collection that is very mid-century modern but I like the wooden legs and how the wood detail continues all around the bed. I think it’s a very pretty bed that would still go with the French style.
12. Pim Carmine upholstered bed
This upholstered checkered bed is whimsical but still hits those French style points. I even love that it comes in a velvet green color!
13. St. Martin upholstered bed
I love this one! It looks so similar to my bed. It’s curved without it looking too feminine. The legs are my favorite.
This one is so, so pretty and is probably the closest to what my bed looks like now but the only difference is I do not have a footboard. It also comes highly rated.

Jamie, these are all stunners. Discontinuing products seems to happen quickly now.
CIndy
Thanks Cindy. It’s so true and so annoying 😉
Hugs, Jamie
It’s a great roundup of beds. My favourite for the shape is the Elwyn. Unfortunately, you can’t buy just the headboard. Buying the whole bed really ups the price. Like you, I like to see the bedskirt show (custom made). I have a beautiful bench at the bottom of the bed so a footboard would not be seen anyway. I’m sure this will be helpful to others though. Thank you for doing this
PS If you ever decide to sell yours, let me know and I’ll be there.😉
Hi Joanna,
I agree, the price is definitely steep as you’re not just buying a headboard. I love the Elwyn too. This bed was definitely a splurge for me but the bed I had before this one lasted 25 years so I thought it was about time.
Hugs, Jamie
Love all of the beds…I recently bought an Eloquence bed….have not placed it in the Master yet..waiting to add more pieces to compliment the bed….Love your bed!
I would die over an Eloquence bed!! Did you buy it from Lidy? I thought I remember seeing something about that awhile ago. I think you should just set it up already!
Hugs, Jamie
Okay…so I just might have signed up for a Beautiful Bedrooms Home Tour that starts in 2 weeks…and I absolutely do not have a beautiful bedroom! We don’t even have a headboard! Our bedroom was way down on the makeover list, and I thought I might try doing something with it later this summer, but now am trying to pull something together before this blog tour! This post was perfect inspiration! We have several different wood tones already in the room, so I am thinking a linen or leather headboard or maybe a metal bed might be the best choice. Thanks for sharing!
Oh Amber, you sound like me! I use tours as a deadline to get my butt in gear, haha. Good luck putting together your bedroom. I’m sure it will be gorgeous!
Hugs, Jamie
I like your style and this article. I really liked the Fallon Upholstered Bed because it’s romantic and classic French. It reminds me of the Villa Royal Upholstered Bed, the traditional style bed we carry on Bombay. Bombay carries a lot of French style vintage furniture. You should come check it out. Are you Canadian or based in WA?
Hi Monica,
I’m very familiar with Bombay, I live in Vancouver.
Thanks!
Jamie
Sorry, Vancouver, Canada, not Washington 😉
Hi Jamie,
Your bed looks stunning!
Was your bed frame in white distressed wood when you bought it or did you paint it yourself?
Thanks Annick! My bed frame came exactly as it is, a white distressed wood. Hope this helps!
Hugs, Jamie
Where did you get the spread your kitty is on? As well as the bench in the same photo? Both are gorgeous. Your cat is beautiful, too!!! TIA
Hi Jeanie,
I bought 2 throw blankets and sewed them together to make a big enough blanket for my king size bed. Because they are ‘wrinkly’, it hides the seem in the middle. I got them at H&M and I noticed they still sell them online: https://www2.hm.com/en_ca/productpage.1045193001.html
Hugs, Jamie
Jamie, your bed is so beautiful. I thank you for taking the time to write this article almost 2 years ago. But of all the beds shown…yours is my absolute favorite! Since this article is a couple of years old now…I was wondering if you have had any recent epiphanies on where I might be able to find a bed similar to yours?
Thank you so much for any help you can give me.
