Help me find a bed

[kc421]

Ladies,

I'm new to posting here but have been lurking on these board for years, and on the nest before that.  I really need your help.  We purchased a home recently and I am having the hardest time picking out a bed.  We moved our old bed (queen) into the guest room and we purchased a new king mattress.  Since then, we've been sleeping on our new mattress, on the floor.  I just can't seem to make up my mind on what I really want. 

I know that want an upholstered headboard and preferably a platform bed.  Does anyone have a similar bed that they absolutely love?  Here are a couple of options that have caught my eye. 

Option 1

Option 2

I like the look of the first option but it has only one review - a really bad one.  I don't want to get something that will fall apart.  I'm not sure about the second option.  Thoughts?  Thanks for all your help.  Any other similar recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

They're both so different! The first one is very transitional (leaning on the side of traditional for me), while the second is very modern (not contemporary, but modern). What is your style? What is the rest of your bedroom furniture like? What is your house like?

Both are similar to the one we ended up getting about a year ago.

I like the one nomad posted.
Costco has a similar one (in many colors, but none that gray) that has great reviews:

I also like this one with a single row of buttons.

Or this one with the very uniform placement of pin-tucks

Can you see the price on that?  I don't have a Costco membership so it's not showing the price for me.  

Nevermind.  I just needed to pick a size.

I really like this one! I'm in the Midwest (suburb of KC) and I haven't been able to find anything similar at a reasonable price around here. How do you like it? Is it study? Is it a platform bed or does it need a box spring?

Thank you all for your suggestions.

I'm honestly trying to find my style. We don't have any other bedroom furniture that I'm planning to keep. The style of my house? Cookie-cutter suburbian home. It's an atrium split level that was built in 2003. Thanks for the help. I do think the second one would have been a little too modern.

kc421 We love it! And we have had it together for almost a year and still love it.

It should have a box spring but we made our own platform out of 2x4s and plywood since we wanted it to be lower than if we had )

Here are some pics from when we put the platform together.

Thanks for the pics, nomad100.  It looks great. I also absolutely love the color and design on wall behind the bed.

I haven't bought a bed from them, but I've also been impressed with J.C. Penney's furniture (and return policies). This bed looks similar from there.

I looked up other Overstock items from that same line and it does seem to have quality issues.
