You know when you sink into a really comfortable bed and think, "Why doesn't my bed at home feel like this?" It's natural to want to recreate that comfort at home, and you'll probably do anything to achieve that. Of course, the softness of your sheets and the fluffiness of your pillows make a difference in comfort, but there's one other piece you shouldn't neglect: the bed frame. One of the most popular bed frame options we've seen lately? The cloud bed, which has taken over our feeds.
So, what exactly is a cloud bed? Popularized by RH's Cloud Slipcovered Platform Bed, it's an upholstered bed frame. The defining feature is an extended lip cocooning the border of your mattress. Like its cousin, the Cloud couch, it's a footless, low-profile piece, often light white or gray, and covered in plush upholstery that gives the bed that cloud-like look.
The silhouette of the cloud bed is warm, inviting, and relaxing. Since the look is so popular right now, you can find them at all price points, from low to high. We searched the internet for the best cloud bed dupes to shop and found 11 options worthy of your bedroom ahead. Add your favorite to your cart to turn your space into a dreamy oasis.
This is one of the closest matches we could find to the cloud bed silhouette. The low-profile headboard and seamless upholstery make the room feel sophisticated. Even better, the slipcovers are completely removable and machine-washable, so you can refresh them over time. "I love how this fits in our master bedroom," one reviewer wrote. It is close to the ground, so no one gets injured if they fall off (kids), but also just high enough to get out of bed easily."

For a more budget-friendly way to get the cloud bed look, try this bouclé frame from Amazon. It keeps that upholstered headboard, adding rounded corners for a softer touch, At under $300, it's a steal, and it even comes with a thickened footboard. "I love this bed!" wrote one reviewer. "It is low to the ground but you can always get a thicker mattress to solve that. Very easy assembly and sturdy for a perfect price!"
Colors: Two | Sizes: Twin, Full, Queen, King | Upholstery: Bouclé
This cloud bed from editor-favorite brand Sundays totally lives up to its namesake. It keeps that soft, neutral, rounded frame, and it uses sofa-like cushions propped against the headboard. It's sure to be a favorite with anyone who loves to read in bed. "I’m so happy with my new bed!" wrote one reviewer. "The storage is three times what I thought it was going to be, the design is gorgeous, it’s made so well and fits our space like a dream! I swear it’s somehow more comfortable than my last frame, but our mattress is the same!"

For those who aren't fans of the traditional boxy headboard shape, this arch one provides a softer look. It breaks the cloud bed mold by using small, solid wood legs, so if you need a little bit of clearance for under-bed storage, this is a great alternative. "I really wanted to buy this half-moon bed frame design for a while now," one reviewer wrote. "I finally bought it without breaking the bank."
Colors: One | Sizes: Twin, Queen | Upholstery: Bouclé
If you prefer your cloud bed to have a plush, teddy bear-like fabric, this one from Wrought Studio is the perfect pick. It seems to be a hit with both adults and kids alike. One reviewer wrote: "This bed is amazing! Looks like CB2 but half the price. The black boucle is gorgeous and really soft and bed was easy to install," while another said: "Love this bed so much, it was not the easiest assembly but it gives you the expensive look for way less, it’s a creamy tone and very comfortable headboard."

Can you spot the storage on this cloud bed? If you can't, we don't blame you—the hidden storage design is impeccable. Unlike some beds, where you have to lift the frame and mattress to reach for items, this one only requires you to open the spacious drawer at the front of the bed to access your seasonal clothes and bedding. Make sure you have enough space between the foot of the bed and your wall before purchasing it. This bed also comes in a leather version, which we haven't seen much of from other brands. One reviewer said: "Absolutely in love with this cozy bed! Makes our bed feel like a cloud - so comfortable and functional with the spacious drawer that is also super easy to access. Would definitely recommend!"
Colors: Two | Sizes: Queen, King | Upholstery: 96 percent polyester, four percent linen
Maiden Home's take on the cloud bed trend is similar to Article's, but the headboard curves slightly at the ends. The wings on either side provide extra shelter and definition. The bed has 80 upholstery options and is customizable in six different finishes. It sits on a wooden base.
Colors: 80 | Sizes: Queen, King, Cal King | Upholstery: Bouclé, Linen, Mohair, Tweed, Velvet
If you really want to recreate hotel-style comfort, start by tucking crisp sheets into the corners of this plush bed frame. The gentle lines of the frame feel fresh out of a spa, and the dark wood legs are tucked away under the bed for sturdiness. "Stunning! This bed is perfection—the low profile, the bouclé fabric, the gentle curves. We absolutely love it and highly recommend it!" wrote one reviewer.
Colors: One | Sizes: Queen, King | Upholstery: Polyester Blend
Clean, boxy lines make this cloud bed a good fit for any minimalist lover looking to upgrade their bedroom. The cloud-like upholstery extends slightly beyond the mattress but not far enough to constantly hit you in the shins. "It’s compact, doesn’t take up too much visual space, so it’s perfect for small rooms," wrote one reviewer. "Very sturdy, however a tad squeaky at the foot of the bed. The bed is beautiful and I think can match with so many different decor styles."
Colors: 26 | Sizes: Full, Queen, King, Cali King | Upholstery: Poly fabric
One of the first steps to creating a moody bedroom is painting the walls and choosing dark furniture. We love that Lulu and Georgia offer cloud beds in deep navy, green, and rust colors. This makes it easy to incorporate the trend into your moody bedroom and since the brand is focused on made-to-order pieces, you know what you're getting will last for years.
