Choosing a Style: Traditional or Contemporary
If you want the classic look, carved wood, maybe curtains between the posts, go look at Aurora Natural or Boho. If you'd rather have the four post shape without the period feel, Juliette and the Manhattan range do that. I wouldn't call one better than the other. It really just depends what the rest of the bedroom is doing.
Sizes and Room Fit
Sizing covers double, king, and super king, but not every bed comes in every size, so check that before you get attached to a specific one. Also worth knowing: a four poster eats more vertical space than people expect. If you've got a low ceiling or a slanted attic room, measure the actual clearance above the posts, not just the floor footprint.
Why the Price Range Is So Wide
Here's the thing about a four poster bed specifically: even in an otherwise empty room, it sets the tone for everything else you bring in. If you're furnishing from scratch, it's worth locking this decision in first rather than working around a bed you added last. That's part of why the price spread here is so wide, a simpler contemporary frame and a heavily carved, gold highlighted piece are solving very different jobs even though both count as a four poster bed.

FAQs
What sizes do four poster beds come in?
Double, and super king. Not every style comes in every size though, so check the product page before you order.
Do I need curtains with a four poster bed?
Not necessarily. Traditional carved styles suit them, but Manhattan and Juliette are designed to stand on their own without fabric.
Why does the price jump around so much in this range?
Mostly it's the detailing. Plainer contemporary frames come in under £3,000. The carved or gold highlighted pieces climb past £10,000, and you're paying for the extra work that goes into them.
Will a four poster fit under a low ceiling?
Possibly, but measure the clearance above the posts, not the floor space. Some frames sit a fair bit taller than others.
Do you deliver these already assembled?
Our two-man delivery team builds it on-site. Given the weight and size of a four poster frame, that's not something you'd want to do yourself.
