Classic Beds
Classic Upholstered Beds: Buttoned, Baroque and Chesterfield Designs
VAMA classic upholstered beds are handcrafted in Tuscany with very different headboard architectures: deep-buttoned Chesterfield designs, carved Baroque frames, curved and wave-shaped backs, oversized upholstered headboards and sleigh-style beds with a matching footboard. Made-to-order models can be configured in sleeping size, storage base, frame profile, feet and finishing details. For the same deep-buttoned language in living-room seating, compare our Chesterfield sofas.
How to Choose a Classic Upholstered Bed
Buttoned and Chesterfield headboards
Chesterfield, Chesterino and Leichester all use deep buttoning but create very different footprints. Chesterino reduces headboard depth, the standard Chesterfield keeps a lower traditional profile, and Leichester adds high inward-curving side wings for a more enveloping effect.
Baroque beds with carved wood
Ilaria and Elisabetta combine upholstery with visible woodwork. Ilaria uses a hand-carved Baroque surround, while Elisabetta frames the buttoned headboard with a decorative solid-wood element that can receive different finishes.
Curved classic headboards
Agnes, Wave, Rondeau, Layka and Queen use curved or shaped headboards rather than a straight rectangle. Compare the maximum headboard width and height as well as the sleeping size, because some models extend significantly beyond the mattress.
Classic beds with storage
Several models can be configured with a lift-up storage base. The choice should be checked together with bed-frame height, room clearance and the selected headboard proportions rather than treated as a purely cosmetic option.
Sleigh-style beds with a footboard
Boat is structurally different from the rest of the collection because it has an upholstered headboard and footboard of equal height. This increases the final overall length and gives the bed a traditional sleigh-style silhouette.

Several models can be ordered with a lift-up storage base. The available configuration depends on the selected dimensions and bed-frame construction.
What is the difference between Chesterfield and Chesterino?
Both use deep buttoning, but Chesterino has a slimmer headboard in the source specification, reducing overall depth while retaining the same classic upholstery language.
Which classic bed has a footboard?
Boat uses both an upholstered headboard and footboard of equal height, creating a sleigh-style profile and a longer overall footprint.
