Hanging a swing bed outside on your porch is a fantastic way to decorate your home. View our collection of 6 Feet or More Porch Swing Beds, guaranteed to bring fun, solace, and beauty into your outdoor space. In simple terms, a porch swing that turns into a bed. Fill it with cushions and pillows of various sizes and textures for a cozier swing. You should check the porch swing bed dimensions before making the purchase. Here are some frequently asked questions for your reference.
A: This collection is dedicated to oversized, custom, and specialty swing beds that exceed the standard 6-foot bench size. These typically include:
Extra-Long Swing Beds: Pieces designed to fit longer mattresses (e.g., California Twin/Full, or custom lengths up to 8 feet).
Queen/King Swing Beds: Beds built to accommodate standard Queen (60" x 80") or King (76" x 80") mattress sizes, designed for maximum sleeping capacity and extreme luxury.
L-Shaped or Sectional Swings: Custom configurations built for large corner spaces or unique porch layouts.
The primary feature is that these are designed for maximum adult sleeping capacity, extreme lounging, and creating an outdoor living room focal point. They offer the ultimate in outdoor relaxation, blurring the line between furniture and structure.
A: A Swing King Bed is a luxury outdoor hanging daybed specifically designed to accommodate a standard King-size mattress (76"x 80"). While traditional porch swings are designed for sitting, the Swing King Bed is engineered for full-body reclining and sleeping, essentially serving as a floating "outdoor bedroom."
Unmatched Scale: It is the industry's largest standard size. Because a King mattress is nearly 7 feet wide, the frame of a Swing King Bed typically extends even further, often reaching total exterior dimensions of 84"x 88" or more.
Capacity for Multiple People: Unlike smaller swings that may feel crowded with two adults, a Swing King Bed provides enough surface area for an entire family to lounge together or for two adults to sleep side-by-side with room to spare.
High-End Comfort: These beds are almost always paired with deep-seating foam mattresses and an abundance of oversized back pillows. This design transforms a standard porch into a high-end resort experience, prioritizing maximum comfort and "solace" over simple seating.
Design Statement: Due to its massive footprint, the Swing King Bed acts as a primary architectural focal point. It is often the first piece chosen when designing a luxury outdoor living space, with the rest of the patio layout planned around its swinging radius.
A: This is the most crucial section for this product line, as these pieces require commercial-level planning and installation.
Extreme Space: A Queen-size swing bed (80 inches long) requires a porch width of at least 12-14 feet (144-168 inches). The porch must be deep enough to allow for a minimum of 7-8 feet of clearance for swinging. These beds are often installed on dedicated, covered patios or large pergolas, rather than in standard residential porches.
Structural Engineering is Mandatory: Due to the immense size, weight, and the potential for a static load well over 1,500 lbs (and a dynamic load potentially exceeding 3,000 lbs), you must engage a licensed structural engineer to certify your overhead support structure.
Rigging Complexity: These beds often require eight suspension points (two per corner) or complex rigging systems with spreader bars to ensure the massive weight is safely distributed across multiple load-bearing beams. Never attempt a DIY installation for beds in this category.
A: As the top tier of your product offering, this collection is characterized by bespoke features:
Integrated Canopy/Curtains: Many long beds feature integrated frame extensions that allow canopies, mosquito netting, or privacy curtains to hang, enhancing the "outdoor bedroom" feel.
Premium Materials: Exclusive use of marine-grade HDPE poly lumber, high-end teak, or powder-coated aluminum, often with custom finishes.
Integrated Lighting/Speakers: Some custom builds can incorporate recessed LED lighting or Bluetooth speaker systems directly into the frame or mounting structure.
Bespoke Cushioning: Custom-cut, outdoor foam mattresses wrapped in luxury, high-performance fabrics like Sunbrella are the standard, often with waterproofing and drainage features built into the frame.
A: These beds are generally built-to-order and are not stock items.
Consultation: The process typically begins with a detailed consultation to confirm dimensions, material choices, and hardware specifications.
Production Time: Expect a longer lead time of 8 to 16 weeks, depending on the design's complexity and material availability.
Shipping & Installation: Due to the size, these often ship via specialized freight and may require assembly by a professional team at the delivery site. Be sure to factor in the installation costs and time when planning your project.
You need to check the porch swing bed dimensions before placing an order.
A: Absolutely. If a porch does not meet the necessary depth or weight-bearing requirements, many customers opt for a freestanding installation. To accommodate the massive footprint of a King-size or extra-long bed, a popular design solution is to install two pergolas side by side.
Expanded Footprint: Placing two pergolas side by side creates a sprawling "outdoor room" that provides ample clearance for the 7-8 feet of swinging radius required for luxury beds.
Structural Support: This configuration allows for more vertical posts, which can be reinforced to handle the high static and dynamic loads of an oversized bed. It also provides multiple overhead beams, making it easier to distribute the weight across several heavy-duty suspension points.
Aesthetic Impact: Beyond the functional benefits, using two pergolas side by side creates a grand architectural focal point in a garden or poolside area, perfectly matching the luxury scale of a 6-foot or longer swing bed.
