Lee Tailor Made Bed

A bed is more than just a piece of furniture; it's a sanctuary where we retreat after a long day. At Saybrook Home, we’re fortunate to work with manufacturers like Lee Industries who have made designing a custom bed a seamless experience, allowing our guests to infuse their personal style into the creation. In this guide, we'll walk you through the steps of designing a Lee custom upholstered bed frame that not only complements your aesthetic but also ensures the ultimate restful and comfortable sleep environment. 

Define Your Style

Before diving into the design process, take a moment to define your style. Are you drawn to a minimalist, modern look, or do you prefer a more classic and opulent design? Consider factors such as color preferences, textures and patterns that resonate with you. This initial step sets the tone for the entire design process and a clearly defined look will ease the decision making process. 

Measure Your Space

Accurate measurements are crucial for a custom bed frame that fits seamlessly into your bedroom. Measure the dimensions of your mattress, ensuring to account for any extra space you'd like around the bed. 

Take note of the height you desire for your bed frame, keeping in mind both aesthetics and functionality. Based on where in the room the bed will be positioned, Lee has options for headboard heights of 48”, 60” and 72” and frames in twin, full, queen, california king and king. Will the frame sit in front of or between windows and what height are the windows?

Which components will you need for your bed frame - headboard and footboard, headboard and rails or headboard only? Each option lends itself to a different look.

Choose Your Upholstery Fabric

The upholstery fabric you choose plays a significant role in the overall look of the finished custom bed. With hundreds of fabric and leather options to choose from, this could be the most difficult part of the design process. Consider the durability, texture, and color of the fabric. Another important factor to consider is how you dress your bed. If you like to swap out your bedding seasonally, then you’ll want to go with something more versatile and neutral for your fabric selection.

Customize with Detail

Add a personal touch to your upholstered bed frame by incorporating custom details. With Lee tailor made beds, there are so many fun options to consider. Paneling on the headboard can be plain, waffle tuft or diamond tuft with buttons. Choose from a tapered or round leg in several different finish options. For the border, a variety of combinations of nail heads and welting add an additional dimension to the customization.
