I love the one you have in your bedroom, but I am not crazy about the other two.

Have you looked at the selections at Room and Board? Some of those might work. They are less costly than DWR, and they'll set the bed up for you.

I love them both. I like the looks of the first one but I think the second one would be more comfortable due to the slanted back. depending on who you have visit (how elderly they are) they both might be a tad low.

I ike the Fastback, but my question about it is, will the mattress slide of the end. Yours has that barrier to keep that from happening.

Guests at our house like comfort. What are all the mattresses like?

It looks like either the fastback or the dwr bed? Here are some more pics of the dwr bed. I'm considering getting it, even though I'd rather not spend the extra money.

@bpathome - that is a good point. I am also worried about hitting the corner of the frame that sticks out under the mattress.

@sas95 - I am leaning towards getting a second one for the guest room. I am also thinking of me because I may need to sleep on this bed when they start construction on the house next door to escape the noise. I did look at RB, but I didnt find anything that I liked.

@jmc101 - I was thinking of purchasing the same foam mattress I have for my bed - the sonna prima mattress from dwr. It's the same one that's on the pic of the am modern bed.

I am leaning towards getting another am modern bed. What do you guys think? I was just hoping to get something different for the guest room, but it is on the other side of the house. Here's some more pics.

I love your bed! I would not wory about it being to similar if bedding and paint are different. If the price is too dear than out of the other beds I prefer the look of the fastback.

I really do like your bed the best. But at twice the price of the first bed, is that too much for you to spend for a guest room, what with mattress, pillows, and linens, too? That part is up to you.

Thanks roarah and bpathome! I dont mind spending the extra money. I think the difference is $1300, which is worth it to get a nice looking bed. Plus I wont have to worry about getting it into the house. DWR will assemble it where I want it. I also think that bed would look the best in the guest room. And I know it's comfortable since I have the same one.

Rockybird,

Have you considered the Hepburn from DeLa Espada? Hepburn Bed

Good luck!

Oh I like the Hepburn bed a lot, great idea with the little side table.

I like this one too. I am always afraid of the mattress sliding off on the totally flat ones.

You guys are awesome. I love the hepburn bed, but I think the price is starting to get up there at $5000.

I was just going to order the american modern bed today, but I had considered the dwr alpine bed that ravencajun posted above before. At first I didnt like it, as it appeared kind of heavy, but the more I look at it, the more I like it. I especially like the little table that comes with it.

What do you think should I go for the alpine bed? It's $3200, more than the am modern bed, but at least it will be a different bed. Maybe if I like it enough, I will put it in my room and move my bed to the guest room?

Here's some more pics. I guess it's between the alpine bed and the american modern bed.

Hopefully, the alpine bed doesnt look too heavy for a smallish room? It will be in front of an arcadia door.

How about the Arco from scandesign.com? Queen is $1399.

Arco bed

I love the matthew hilton bed-- in fact, I am a huge fan of many of his designs! It's pretty pricy for a spare room though.

I like the alpine and I dont think it looks too heavy at all.

I love Matthew Hilton. I did not realize the price of the Hepburn had gotten so high it was in the low $3k when I looked at it a few years ago. I do like the alpine bed!

Good luck!

Of course I love the Alpine and the table. Yes get it and you can always decide it goes in your room instead. I like it better than any of the others. I don't think it looks heavy at all, it almost looks like it's floating in some pictures.

I really like this back view of it, too bad it's hidden against the wall. http://modernica.net/case-study-alpine-bed.html

But I wonder with the alpine if they wouldn't constantly be having to pull pillows jammed in that space between the headboard and the mattress, and if their heads move up as a result of the pillows getting jammed in that space, they might not hit their heads on the headboard.

Thanks Tibbrix - that is a nice looking bed, but I think I might want something less contemporary, more modern.

I just need to bite the bullet and buy the alpine bed. I wish I could see one in person first.

Hopefully, the hole in the frame will not be an issue.

Ravencajun, do you like the alpine bed more than the am. modern bed?

I'd put the Hepburn bed in my room and move the one from the master to the guest room, but I stray easily....

Absolutely yes I like the Alpine much better and I like the associated furniture pieces for it too. I would definitely get the Alpine for my mcm house if I did not already have more beds than I need lol. It just looks like a piece of art as well as a functional piece of furniture.

As one who tends to 'burrow' into pillows, I think that space between the headboard and mattress in the Alpine bed would be a problem for me.

Modernica is the most trendiest for me. As the stands are really innovative and it will take less space to get accommodated in a city home.

I wanted to update the thread. I ordered the alpine case study bed today. I bought one case study nightstand I also bought an american modern night stand to match the american modern bed in the master. Thanks for everyone's help!

Congrats!!!!

Oh you lucky bird lol! I'm jealous. Be sure to post pictures of it.

I will! Thanks for all your help. :)
