The adjustable bed market has been a fast growing sector in sleep products and Axel Bloom has 8 mattress models, 7 slat bed bases, and more than 20 bed frames in stunning European designs to make the experience complete. Axel Blooms Aerospace-engineered products are the most advanced German beds offering excellent back, shoulder, and neck support with ergonomic foam and latex mattress with slat bed technologies. The unique pocketed latex foam and micro-spring mattress construction conforms to the three way adjustable bed frame to allow you the perfect position for sleeping, reading, or tv viewing. I am very impressed with the collection of modern beds Axel Bloom offers to accommodate their adjustable bedding products. You can choose from various fabric and woods and have the perfect bed made to order from.
The Expect cabinet was designed and created after some research on the experiences and expectations on interior furniture products. This is another most unique piece by Oooms which offer four different storage compartments all in a simple unassuming compact cabinet. I really like the bent metal structure that utilizes two back legs eliminating the front ones. Made of MDF and Steel 130x 70 x 40 cm Available Here
In decorating the spare bedroom, it is often a guess as to what bed to get to accommodate your guests properly. At times you may need a double bed for a couple and at other times single beds for "non-couple" guests. Some guests will not feel comfortable sharing the same bed if they are not a couple. Designer Marcia Hanvey Isaksson has created a solution to this dilemma. This modular bed can be pushed together to create a double bed or separated to create single beds. I really like this design concept for two reasons. One is that it solves a decorating challenge in the home. Secondly, besides it functionality it actually looks cool and very chic modern. Via.
The Anristar canopy bed is the creation of California designer, Jiun Ho. The Anristar is a transitional piece with a touch of modern styling combined with influence from traditional furniture. The wooden frame features extra detail in both the headboard and the footboard as seen in the picture. Often canopy beds have bulkier frames, but in this design it is more streamlined and slim. The dark color of the wood would compliment a bedroom featuring Asian home décor. Measurements: 88" L x 41" W x 93" H. Available: Here.
The case study bedside table is a companion to a popular bed from DWR's furniture store. If you are like me you prefer to have some beside storage and a place for a reading lamp and alarm clock. Construction consists of steel legs with a walnut veneer. Available colors are natural, pictured here, and walnut. Measurements: H 19" W 23.5" D 18". Price: $578. Via.
Looking for an upholstered bed to add some style to your existing bedroom furniture? The Angle from Flou has two distinctly different looks both of which are new to the Italian manufactures line up of fabric beds with a wide variety of looks and features. On one hand the tufted version adds some more traditional style, while the flat panel model works perfectly in a modern decor requiring straight lines. Flou has a very complete line of upholstered beds with storage, suspension, and tilt headboard options, some with removable covers for washing. I really like the cool lamps Flou added for reading in bed.
Tired of waking up on the wrong side of the bed then get a bed with only one side.

Dom edizioni has caught the eye of architects and designers in modern hotel, nautical, and residential furniture markets. The LoveBoat is available in 224, 234, 244, 254, 264D X 76H cm sizes
I am always on the look out for tips on great stories that our readers can enjoy. Our friends at Freshome ran a great story on beds featuring 16 examples of extreme modern beds. I included two of the featured pieces in this article. The first example doubles as a bookcase and focuses on using a minimal amount of space. The second picture highlights a canopy bed featuring contemporary styling. Via - Freshome.
When a name like Armani is involved, be prepared for some really stunning designs. Armani Casa does not disappoint the lovers of fine home furnishings who have a discerning taste and demand the ultimate in contemporary furniture. The two beds shown here have completely contrasting themes, yet a universal "zen" like quality that offers a crisp clean addition to modern architecture. The Osaka four poster bed with upholstered headboard and frame, comes in brown oak, grey oak, or sucupira for a distinctly Asian theme. The upholstered headboard can be dismantled, all the covers removed, and is available in leather or in various fabrics from the collection. The canopy is made in silk taffeta, inserted laterally in the frame, and can be removed in full for a change of pace. The Omega, is a much lighter but very bold platform bed with upholstered headboard and frame in brown oak, sucupira or anthracite grey lacquer. The upholstered headboard can be dismantled and all the covers removed and is also available in leather or fabrics from the collection. The Osaka canopy bed is available in King or California King while the Omega platform bed is available in King, California King, and Queen sizes. You must see the entire Armani Casa collection, beware the stuff isn't cheap!!
As many of you readers know, I am a fan of mid century modern. I think a lot can be learned from the past as a lens to the future. Many new furniture designs are interpretations and tweaks from past furniture designers. Paul McCobb was a mid century modern master that brought many creations to the public during his career. The Paul McCobb nightstands here detail the quality and artisanship of his work. The first descriptive term that comes to mind for me is minimalist. There is very little wasted space. But when you think about this piece, it has very basic elements that are quite common today. I saw some retail pieces a few weeks ago that featured one drawer with a space atop it for tucking away a book or other items. The difference between the two items was that these were made 40 years ago in the 1960s. A pair of Paul McCobb nightstands such as these would cost around $1,400 from a dealer.
