In news that’s surprising only to those living under a rock (or just those without TikTok), Restoration Hardware’s Cloud Bed is truly the bed of all beds. It's dreamy, low-profile, and cozy, with a super comfortable plush headboard, oversized goose-feather cushions, and a wide upholstered rail that wraps your mattress up in a big hug. Basically, it's a viral sensation (along with its sister piece, the Cloud Couch) that's totally worth the splurge-y price.

But because the cloud bed demand is high, other home brands have taken notice and started rolling out their own versions of the chic platform bed for a fraction of the price of the original, which will set you back more than $4K. So if you've always wanted a cloud bed but don't know which one is right for you, rest assured that there are several budget-friendly options that boast features like extra storage, a variety of headboard sizes, and fabrics that'll withstand dog hair and cat claws. There's even a faux leather option! Take a sneak peek here...

Our top picks for the best cloud bed dupes of 2025:

TL;DR: I've gone into major detail on both the original RH Cloud Bed as well as some really excellent (and more affordable!) dupes below. No, this isn't a dream!

Pros

  • High-quality frame (kiln-dried wood) and upholstery
  • Several upholstery options to choose from
  • Back cushions are goose-feather-filled and detachable
  • Plenty of padding throughout

Cons

  • Just... so expensive

There she is... the OG in all her glory. I mean, this bed didn't break the internet for no reason. As I mentioned above, it's super plush throughout, is incredibly comfy whether you're sitting up or lying down, and just looks so damn chic. There are also so many unique colors options, from sand to twilight, so you know you'll find a shade that matches your bedroom's aesthetic. It's definitely an investment, but there's nothing quite like the real thing, am I right?

Pros

  • Fabric can be removed and washed
  • Solid construction, will last you years
  • High-quality make and build
  • Looks way more expensive than it is

Cons

  • Might need help assembling

Why we love it: The Dawson bed is the closest dupe to the original RH bed that we've found. It's made of a high-quality upholstery with solid construction that'll last you a long, long time.

If you want the classic white cloud bed look for less, here it is! The Dawson Bed by Castlery comes in at a quarter of the price of the Restoration Hardware cloud bed, and honestly looks pretty damn similar. And if you're really on a furnishing kick, you can add a couple of Castlery's gorge matching nightstands and/or lamps to your purchase—they offer the pieces as a bundle buy!

Hydraulic Lift Up Platform Bed

Credit: Wayfair

Pros

  • Provides added storage space
  • Amazing quality
  • Several color options
  • Very budget-friendly

Cons

  • Not the clearest instructions for assembly

Why we love it: When you're working with a small space, under-bed storage is everything. This particular frame has a tremendous amount of storage, and it's not hard to lift up the mattress to access the items underneath thanks to the hydraulic lift technology!

Not sure where to store your bulky luggage when you aren’t jet-setting across the globe? Or maybe you always have trouble stuffing that puffy winter coat in the back of your closet when the weather warms up? This dupe has both (hidden!) storage and style. Just lift the mattress frame up and you've got storage space for days—trust me, it's way chicer than having miscellaneous Rubbermaid containers sticking out from under your bed (@ me). Plus, the upholstery comes in five different colors (that moss green shade is a gem).

Lulu and Georgia Nabiha Platform Bed

Nabiha Platform Bed

Pros

  • Several color and print options
  • White glove delivery available for a small fee
  • Box spring optional
  • Very supportive with both slats and a center support leg

Cons

  • Purchase is final sale

Why we love it: For half the price of the original, this bedframe offers a similar profile with a thick headboard and thick sides for that all-around cushy look.

Similarly to the RH Cloud Bed, this option has a soft, lower, thicker headboard that allows you to easily lean back and lounge on it. You'll love how plush and cushioned it feels. Plus, there are tons of fabric, pattern, and color options, in case the O.G. neutral isn't speaking to you.

Pros

  • Amazing quality for the price
  • Free shipping
  • Chic wooden details
  • Higher headboard makes a nice visual statement

Cons

  • Pieces are heavy

Why we love it: If you're looking for a sleek, minimal silhouette with some pretty accents, this is it. It comes in a range of neutral colors, from Oat to Stone to White.

This dupe from Wayfair sits upon a sleek wood base and comes in six lovely neutral tones. With the queen size coming in at $1,300 and glowing review after glowing review, this baby will provide you with some high-quality design. Plus, the included free delivery and the ability to throw in assembly for under $100 isn't half bad.

Pros

  • Easy to assemble, with additional assembly help for purchase
  • Sturdy and low profile
  • All sizes are under $800
  • Easy to clean

Cons

  • Some reviewers mentioned long delivery times

Why we love it: This low-to-the-ground option is an excellent dupe for the RH Cloud Leather Bed at a much more affordable price point. The wide exterior frame adds an extra modern touch.

Yes, there is a leather version of RH's cloud bed, and yes, it costs almost $2,000 more than the original. It's amazing, but if you don't have that sort of cash to blow, look to this faux leather platform bed from Wayfair. It's not exactly the same, but it offers a similar look for under $800, and doesn't even require a box spring.

Pros

  • Made from high-quality materials
  • Durable and withstands pet wear and tear
  • Gorgeous oak base

Cons

  • A few reviewers mention gaps at the corners of the bed

Why we love it: If you have a fuzzy friend in your home who tends to shed, this piece is easy to clean hair off of. It's also incredibly sturdy and a "forever piece," according to happy customers.

My cat has made it very clear that my partner and I are merely guests in *her* bed. And although her comfort is a top priority (she literally sleeps on my pillow), I definitely want to make sure my furniture can stand up to her a) shedding and b) tendency to see most objects as scratching posts. This dupe fits the bill, receiving rave reviews for its style and being pet-friendly—cleaning the upholstery is such a breeze.

CB2 Façade Bed

Pros

  • Made to last from high quality materials
  • Lots of cool upholstery options
  • Comes with in-home assembly and packaging removal
  • Doesn't creak or make noise

Cons

  • A little more on the expensive side

Why we love it: This entire frame is incredibly soft, meaning that your chances of stubbing your toe or bonking your head on it are minimal. It also comes with in-home assembly!

My wildest fantasies consist of having enough money to afford a beautiful brownstone that I furnish exclusively with CB2 pieces. Oh, and sometimes Pedro Pascal is there, too. With that being said, CB2’s simplified take on the platform bed trend gets you the look for less. Plus, this sleek design is available in more than 40 customizable upholstery options, including leopard print, if that’s your thing!

Williams Upholstered Bed

Pros

  • Easy assembly
  • Cool mid-century modern design
  • Under the $1K price point

Cons

  • Support slats are slightly visible, but easily hidden by bedding

Why we love it: This budget-friendly option has the same general aesthetic and vibe of the much-more-expensive RH bed, and is very durable for the price.

Do you remember that episode of Lizzie McGuire where she wanted a super-expensive pair of jeans from Style Shack, so her mom went bargain shopping and found an equally cool pair for wayyy less? This is that situation in bed form. It's not an exact replica of the RH Cloud Bed (sigh, nothing is), but it's a fraction of the price and ab-so-lute-ly gives the look for less. I also appreciate how the tiny wooden legs on AllModern's bed add a cool mid-century modern element to its look.

Pros

  • Easy to assemble
  • Soft boucle upholstery
  • Rounded corners and soft lines for a cozy, inviting look

Cons

  • One reviewer said their mattress was a tight fit

Why we love it: This bed frame is all smooth, swoopy lines and cozy boucle that'll create for a totally welcoming atmosphere.

You know when you stub your toe on the corner of your bed frame and instantly become filled with rage and expletives? Same. If you have fallen victim to the sleek, angled lines of your furniture but still love a modern look, this dreamy dupe is for you. It has soft, rounded edges, so it's comfy as a cloud and prevents bruised toes! The comfy foam-filled headboard is yet another a plush pro.

Pros

  • A+ customer service
  • Super quick and easy installation

Cons

Why we love it: This plush bed is another excellent budget find that accommodates an existing box spring + mattress combination. It'll elevate your room in a snap.

This dupe is BYOB: bring your own box spring. That’s right, this bb goes right over and around your current box spring, and your mattress will sit on top of both, giving your bed an instant—and surprisingly affordable—update. I'm LOVING the ingenuity (and super-low price point)!

How to choose the best cloud bed dupe

line break

Buying a bed frame for the first time, or just not sure how to go about making sure that the option you choose for such a major purchase is the best one for your lifestyle? Here are a few factors to consider.

Keep budget in mind

Sure, all the dupes on this list cost hundreds to thousands of dollars less than RH’s cloud bed, but they are still an investment. Consider how much you are willing to pay before you break out your credit card. Many retailers offer monthly payments for big purchases, which hurts a hell of a lot less than dropping all the cash at once. Just make sure you do your research first, and ensure that you can pay it back.

Also, I am a big fan of the very mathematical equation “cost per sleep.” So, yes, although you may spend a decent chunk of change at once, when you break the cost down per sleep, that $1,500 dream bed runs you less than a dollar per sleep assuming you have it for the next five years. I love being a woman in STEM.

Make sure to measure twice

Because of the low profile and all-around rail that cloud beds have become famous for, you will want to make sure your mattress can properly fit into your new bed frame. Take advantage of customer reviews and get that measuring tape out so you can be certain that your cloud bed will comfortably accommodate your mattress.

Consider the upholstery

Like to drink red wine in bed? Parent to a cat that thinks all surfaces are for scratching? Or maybe like to get a little messy in the bedroom from time to time (wink wink)? Then the classic all-white frame might not be the best upholstery option for you, which is totally okay! There are plenty of options that can withstand spills, pets, and day-to-day wear. So, make sure you pick a color and fabric type that will work for your lifestyle.

Build smarter, not harder

Moving furniture is a major pain in the ass. And despite the fact that it'll look uber dreamy in the end, lugging such a large bed frame into a different room (or house) is definitely going to test your patience. Make sure you have enough room to build your new cloud bed in a long-term location. And if you are looking to avoid the heavy lifting, go with a lightweight option like the one from SoftFrame that slips over your current box spring or pay a small (and totally worth it) fee for white glove delivery, if it's available.
