ALEXANDRA WINGED BED FRAME

The Alexandra Winged Bed Frame is a bed that understands the difference between making a statement and making a room. The winged headboard a central upholstered panel flanked by two upholstered wings that extend outward at a gentle angle does something a flat-topped bed cannot. It frames the head of the bed, creates a sense of enclosure and intimacy at the sleeping end, and gives the whole room a more complete, considered feel. It is a shape with genuine presence, but it carries that presence with refinement rather than drama.

The wings of the Alexandra are proportioned for elegance. They are not the wide, assertive wings of a statement headboard they extend with a measured grace that adds depth and dimension to the headboard without overwhelming the room. The angle of the wings draws the eye inward toward the centre of the bed, creating a natural focal point that makes the bedroom feel more intentional. In a well-dressed room the Alexandra acts as an anchor. In a simpler room it does the work of elevating everything around it.

The Alexandra is available in over 25 fabric and colour options across Plush Velvet, Naples, Boucle, Linoso, and Marble ranges. The full headboard central panel and both wings is upholstered in the same fabric, giving the Alexandra a consistent, pulled-together look from every angle. In Plush Velvet, the wings catch the light along their angled faces and give the headboard a rich, three-dimensional quality. In Boucle or Linoso, the wings read as softer and more organic. In Naples, the woven texture adds a layer of craftsmanship to the angled surfaces.

The frame is built from solid timber and engineered hardwood throughout, with a full-width solid wood slat base included as standard. The wing structures are built over solid timber frames that hold their angle correctly over years of use. Under-bed drawer storage is available at checkout.

Every Alexandra comes with a 100-day free trial and a 5-year warranty covering the frame, headboard, and wing structures elegance backed by long-term cover.

KEY FEATURES & BENEFITS

🔹 Elegant Winged Headboard

The Alexandra's central panel is flanked by two upholstered wings that extend outward at a measured angle not wide and assertive, but refined and considered. The wings create a natural frame around the head of the bed, drawing the eye inward and giving the sleeping space a sense of enclosure and intimacy that a flat-topped headboard cannot achieve. It is a shape that adds depth and dimension to the bed without crowding the room.

🔹 Wings That Catch the Light

The angled faces of the Alexandra's wings sit at a different plane to the central headboard panel, which means they catch and reflect light differently throughout the day. In Plush Velvet the contrast between the wing faces and the central panel is most visible the pile picks up light along the angled surface and gives the headboard a rich, three-dimensional quality that changes subtly as the light in the room shifts. In textured fabrics like Boucle or Naples, the same effect adds warmth and craftsmanship to the wing surfaces.

🔹 Fully Upholstered Throughout

The entire Alexandra headboard the central panel, the inner faces of both wings, and the outer edges is upholstered in the same fabric. There are no mismatched materials, no raw edges, and no unfinished surfaces visible from any angle. The Alexandra looks as considered from the side as it does from the front.

🔹 Wing Structures Built Over Solid Timber

The wings are not flat panels bent into position they are built over solid timber frames shaped to the wing angle from the start. This means the wings hold their angle and their upholstered finish correctly through years of daily use, without sagging, splaying, or losing their precise proportion relative to the central panel.

🔹 25+ Fabric & Colour Combinations

Over 25 options across Plush Velvet, Naples, Boucle, Linoso, and Marble give the Alexandra's wing shape a genuinely different character depending on the fabric. Plush Velvet gives the most depth and contrast across the angled wing faces. Boucle and Linoso soften the wings and bring warmth. Naples adds woven texture and structure. Marble gives a quiet, sophisticated finish. The wings are consistent in their angle the fabric changes what kind of room they belong in.

🔹 Solid Timber & Hardwood Frame

The Alexandra is built from solid timber and engineered hardwood throughout. The main frame stays flat, firm, and silent through years of daily use, and the solid construction supports the wing structures correctly at their precise angle without any flex or movement over time.

🔹 Solid Wood Slat Base Included

A full-width solid wood slat system is included as standard, providing even mattress support right across the frame. Compatible with all standard UK mattress types pocket sprung, memory foam, and hybrid and arrives ready to fit with no extra components needed.

🔹 Optional Under-Bed Drawer Storage

🔹 Four Headboard Heights Up to 60 Inches

Choose from 40, 48, 54, or 60 inches measured floor to the top of the headboard. The Alexandra's wings are most elegant at the 54 and 60 inch settings the full height gives the wings more surface area and allows the angled faces to read properly from across the room. The 60 inch setting is the defining look for the Alexandra.

SECTION 9 CARE & MAINTENANCE

Upholstery Headboard Panel & Wing Surfaces

Use a soft upholstery brush or vacuum on a low setting for everyday cleaning. Clean the central headboard panel and both wing surfaces separately, working in the direction of the fabric on each face. The angled wing faces and the inner wing edges gather dust at the joins pay attention to these areas during routine cleaning. For spills, blot immediately with a clean dry cloth do not rub. For marks, use a lightly damp cloth with a small amount of mild fabric cleaner and leave to air dry away from direct heat. Do not use a steam cleaner. For Plush Velvet, run a soft brush over the pile after cleaning to restore the direction and lustre of the nap on each face. Keep the headboard out of prolonged direct sunlight to preserve the fabric consistently across all surfaces.

Wing Structures

The wings are built over solid timber frames and hold their angle correctly under normal use without any specific maintenance. Do not apply sideways pressure against the outer edges of the wings or use the wings as a handle when repositioning the bed the angle is structural and any force applied against the wings from the outside could stress the upholstery or the internal frame over time. Treat both wings as you would any quality upholstered furniture surface.

Wing Clearance

Ensure the wing edges have adequate clearance from adjacent walls, furniture, or bedside tables. Sustained contact between the wing edges and a rough or hard surface can wear the upholstery at the outermost points over time. A clearance of at least 10–15cm on each side is recommended for both practical and maintenance reasons.

Frame & Drawers

Check and tighten all fixings every few weeks, particularly during the first month of use. Pay particular attention to the headboard attachment points keeping these tight ensures the wing angles are maintained at their correct position relative to the base. If drawer runners stiffen, a small amount of candle wax or dry lubricant along the track will quickly restore smooth operation.

Slat Base

Check the slats periodically to ensure they are all correctly seated in their holders. Press any shifted slat back into place by hand. Evenly distributed slats give the mattress consistent support right across the frame.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: How does the Alexandra differ from other winged beds in the Macba Beds range?

A: The Alexandra and Majesty Winged are both winged beds, but they have distinct characters. The Majesty is a divan bed with wider, more assertive wings that give it a bold, statement quality. The Alexandra is a bed frame with more refined, elegantly proportioned wings that extend at a measured angle the emphasis is on grace and enclosure rather than width and drama. The Alexandra suits rooms where refinement is the priority. The Majesty suits rooms where impact is. Both have the same fabric options, storage configurations, and headboard heights the difference is entirely in the wing proportion and the character that creates.

Q: How much room do the wings need on each side?

A: The wings extend slightly beyond the width of the mattress base on both sides. When positioning the Alexandra, allow at least 10–15cm of clearance between the outer edge of each wing and any adjacent wall, furniture, or bedside table. This prevents the upholstered wing edges from making sustained contact with hard surfaces, which can wear the fabric over time. If you are working with a tight bedroom layout, contact the Macba Beds team before ordering and they can confirm the exact wing extension dimensions for the size you are considering.

Q: How does the fabric affect the way the wings look?

A: The angled wing faces sit at a different plane to the central panel, which means they catch and reflect light differently and that effect varies significantly with the fabric. In Plush Velvet the contrast between the light catching the wing faces and the central panel is most pronounced the pile picks up directional light and gives the headboard a rich, almost sculptural three-dimensional quality. In Boucle the same geometry reads softer and more textural the loops catch light diffusely rather than reflectively. In Naples the woven texture adds an artisanal quality to the angled surfaces. Fabric samples are available on request so you can compare options before committing.

Q: Is the Alexandra suitable for a bedroom with a feature wall or wallpaper behind the bed?

A: Yes the Alexandra is an excellent choice for exactly this situation. The winged headboard creates a natural frame around the bed that complements rather than competes with a feature wall or patterned wallpaper behind it. The wings draw the eye inward toward the centre of the bed, which actually helps showcase whatever is on the wall above and around the headboard. Choose a fabric that either picks up a tone from the wallpaper or contrasts cleanly with it neutral Linoso or Boucle tends to work well against patterned walls, while a deep Plush Velvet creates a strong contrast against lighter feature walls.

Q: Will this bed fit a standard UK mattress?

A: Yes. Every size of the Alexandra is made to standard UK mattress dimensions, so your mattress will fit properly within the base with no gaps. The wings extend beyond the base width but the sleeping surface is fully within standard dimensions. Remember to allow clearance on each side for the wings when planning your room layout.

Q: How long does delivery take and is it actually free?

A: Yes free tracked delivery is included on every order to mainland UK addresses. No minimum spend, no extra charges at checkout. You will receive a tracking link by email once your order has been dispatched. If you are in a remote area such as the Scottish Highlands or Northern Ireland, contact the Macba Beds team before ordering to confirm lead times for your postcode.

Q: How hard is it to put together and how long does it take?

A: Straightforward. Most customers complete the full build in under an hour. The winged headboard arrives pre-finished with the wing angles already built in no on-site adjustment is required. All fixings and an Allen key are included. If you have added drawers, they slot in as part of the same build. The Macba Beds team is on hand if you get stuck at any point.

Q: Does the bed make noise or creak?

A: Not when assembled correctly. The solid timber and hardwood construction keeps the frame quiet under normal use. Make sure all fixings are fully tightened at the headboard and wing attachment points during the build, and check again after the first couple of weeks.

Q: Can I get a fabric sample before I order?

A: Yes fabric samples are available on request. Because the fabric changes how the wing faces catch and reflect light which significantly affects the three-dimensional character of the headboard seeing the material in your room before committing is particularly worthwhile for the Alexandra. Contact the Macba Beds team and they will send out samples for your shortlisted choices.
