What customers say
Customers consistently praise the Vella Bed for its exceptional design, noting how the low profile and floating appearance instantly elevate a bedroom space.

Know before you buy
The bed is upholstered in split grain saddle leather that has been specially treated for enhanced stain resistance. While it is durable, it should still be kept away from direct sunlight and sharp objects to maintain its finish.
The Vella Bed measures 80.75 inches wide, 90.25 inches deep, and 39.75 inches in total height. Ensure you measure your bedroom floor space to account for the frame's footprint before purchasing.
The frame is built from a combination of solid beech wood and plywood. This pairing provides a sturdy, long-lasting structure designed to support your mattress securely.
As a pre-owned item used for only a few months, the bed may show light surface wear consistent with brief residential use. These minor imperfections are cosmetic and do not affect the structural integrity or comfort of the piece.
The Vella Bed is designed with a supportive frame that typically accommodates a mattress directly or with a low-profile bunkie board, depending on your preferred height. We recommend checking your mattress manufacturer's requirements to ensure proper support.
