We Tested (and Rated!) Every Bed at CB2

"It's easy to play it safe when it comes to choosing a bed frame. The market seems to be saturated with simple silhouettes and materials - which is great if you're a minimalist, but not as fun if you like a little pizzazz. If you're looking for a bed frame that makes a statement then one of the best places to shop is CB2, which is full of beds that have unique shapes, bright upholstery, and gorgeous detailing."

"That's why we visited the retailer for our Personal Shopper series, where we test out products in person at our favorite brands' storefronts. Our visit to CB2's New York City-Soho location focused on bed frames, of which there were four in store (with many more online). All of the models we saw are part of a CB2 collaboration with a top designer, and they all stand out for their modern appearance and gorgeous materials."

"We judged every CB2 bed frame based on the following criteria: Customizability: Does it come in different varieties? How many colors, finishes, materials, or sizes is it available in? How granular can you get when customizing the bed frame? Does it require a box spring? Space needs: How much space does the bed frame require? Does it have a canopy or an extra-wide frame? Is it particularly bulky or does it stay close to its appointed"

CB2 specializes in contemporary, trend-forward bed frames featuring bold silhouettes, bright upholstery, and high-quality materials. The New York City–Soho storefront displayed four designer-collaboration models and highlighted many more online. The brand operates a Designer Collective that produces exclusive collections with top designers, resulting in modern, eye-catching furniture that differs from sister brand Crate & Barrel. Product evaluation prioritized criteria such as customizability and spatial requirements. Customizability considerations include available colors, finishes, materials, sizes, and box-spring needs. Space considerations include overall footprint, canopy or extra-wide frames, and whether designs are bulky or low-profile.
