Border Strip with Piping Bed

Border Strip with Piping Bed, The Strip Bed That Looks Like It Cost Twice as Much

Not every bed commands attention. This one does. The Border Strip with Piping Bed takes the clean, structured appeal of a strip panel headboard and adds one detail that separates ordinary from considered: a tailored piping border — the same cord-edge finishing technique used by luxury interior designers to define edges, add contrast, and give upholstery that unmistakable “made with intention” quality.

The result is a strip bed that doesn’t just sit in your bedroom. It anchors it.

Why the Piping Detail Actually Matters

Piping — the wrapped-cord edging sewn along the headboard seam — is a hallmark of bespoke upholstery. It sharpens the silhouette, adds tactile depth, and is the reason this bed looks like it belongs in a boutique hotel rather than a flat-pack catalogue. In headboard design, piping serves both a decorative and structural role — reinforcing edges while adding a refined, tailored finish that plain upholstered frames simply cannot replicate.

FAQ Section

What is a strip bed?

A strip bed is an upholstered bed frame that features structured horizontal or vertical panel detailing across the headboard — creating clean, architectural lines that give the bed a contemporary, high-end appearance. The Border Strip with Piping Bed takes this a step further by adding a tailored piping border along the headboard seam for a refined, bespoke finish.

What does the piping border detail mean on this bed?

Piping is a cord-edge finishing technique wrapped in matching or contrasting fabric, sewn along the seam of the headboard. It sharpens the silhouette, adds structure, and gives the bed a tailored, designer quality that plain upholstered frames don’t have. It’s the same detail used in high-end furniture and interior design upholstery.

How much does the Border Strip with Piping Bed cost?

The Border Strip with Piping Bed starts from £279 for a single 3ft frame — currently 43% off the original £489 price. Larger sizes, headboard height upgrades, storage bases, and mattress bundles are optional extras available at checkout.

What sizes is the strip bed available in?

The bed is available in five UK standard sizes: Single 3ft, Small Double 4ft, Double 4ft 6, King Size 5ft, and Super King 6ft. It was previously also offered in Small Single 2ft 6.
