Christopher Knight Home King Linen Upholstered Platform Bed vs King Size Upholstered Bed

Both are king upholstered platform beds from Christopher Knight Home with slat systems that skip the box spring, so the choice comes down to headboard style and frame footprint. The King Size Upholstered Bed with Thick Headboard is the sturdier pick: an 800 lb rating, a rubberwood center support and a 7.5-inch padded headboard. The Christopher Knight Home King Linen Platform Bed leans on a tall curved wingback headboard and rounded edges for a softer, more tailored look. Owners of this family of beds generally praise the look and easy assembly, but note the upholstery is thin and the slats can squeak over time.

• Choose the Christopher Knight Home King Linen Platform Bed if you want a tall curved wingback headboard and rounded, tailored styling as the focal point of the room.
• Choose the King Size Upholstered Bed With Thick Headboard if you want a published 800 lb weight rating, a center foot support and a thickly padded headboard and footboard.
