Are bouclé beds trending in 2025?
Many retailers are worried about inventory sitting too long. If a trend cools off, margins disappear. Bouclé beds were hot in 2023—but are they still selling in 2025?
Yes, bouclé beds are still trending in 2025, especially in Canada, Germany, and Australia. But the styling, packaging, and pricing must evolve to match shifting consumer preferences.
Retailers aren’t just asking if bouclé looks good. They want to know if it sells, ships well, and meets current design trends. I’ll share insights I’ve gathered from our wholesale clients and factory-side data.
Are bouclé beds a growing trend in 2025 for North American markets?
More designers are embracing soft, tactile surfaces—but are buyers still interested?
Yes, bouclé beds remain a strong trend in North America, especially in cooler regions like Canada and the northern U.S.

Bouclé remains one of the go-to fabrics for creating warmth and minimalism in modern bedrooms. In Canada, we’ve seen retailers like Structube and Mobilia continue to push bouclé textures—especially in curved bed frames and off-white palettes.
From what I’ve tracked, retailers who lean into neutral palettes and lifestyle photography are seeing consistent results. Even as micro-trends shift (like shearling or sheepskin entering the market), bouclé still owns the affordable-luxury niche.
Here's what I’ve seen work:
| Region | Trend Momentum | Preferred Bouclé Color | Recommended Style |
|---|---|---|---|
| Canada | Strong | Ivory, Cream, Beige | Rounded corners, plush |
| Northern USA | Moderate | Off-white, Taupe | Minimalist |
| Germany | Strong | Textured Greige | Low-profile bases |
| Australia | Stable | White, Grey | Storage bases |
Bouclé trends will continue in 2025—but the form factor matters. Soft headboards and compact structures perform better than oversized frames, especially for online sellers targeting apartment dwellers.
What are the top design features driving bouclé bed sales in 2025?
Consumers are not just buying materials—they're buying vibes.
In 2025, curved edges, low profiles, and neutral colors are the key design features driving bouclé bed sales.
Dive deeper:
Buyers want furniture that blends into modern lifestyles. Bouclé checks that box. It feels soft, looks calming, and pairs well with Japandi or Nordic interiors.
Retailers like Wayfair and Temple & Webster highlight features like:
- Rounded corners
- Textured headboards
- Compact frames (under 1.8m in length)
- Neutral tones: ivory, oatmeal, greige
- Slim matte black or wood legs
Here's what makes bouclé beds appealing in 2025:
| Feature | Why It Sells |
|---|---|
| Soft tactile texture | Encourages touch in showrooms |
| Visual warmth | Adds comfort to minimalist interiors |
| Photo-friendly surface | Shows depth in product imagery |
| Quiet luxury aesthetic | Appeals to higher-income shoppers |
If you're selling online, this visual softness matters. I always recommend shooting bouclé beds in bright natural lighting, paired with natural fiber bedding and light wood accents. It lifts the entire listing.
Are bouclé beds considered a profitable category for mid-size furniture retailers?
Margins matter. But so does delivery, returns, and repeat business.
Yes, bouclé beds are profitable if packaging is optimized and customer expectations are well-managed.
Dive deeper:
Most of our clients—especially those in Canada and Germany—report healthy profit margins on bouclé beds. On average, we supply them at RMB 780–1280 per set (frame only), with retail prices reaching $899–$1399 CAD.
However, profit depends on execution:
- High packaging volume: Bouclé fabric is bulkier. If not compressed well, it takes more container space.
- Surface recovery time: After vacuum packing, it may take 1–2 days to fluff back up, which can affect unboxing satisfaction.
- Potential pilling issues: Cheaper bouclé pills faster, increasing return rates.
Solutions I’ve used with clients:
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| High shipping volume | Custom air column packaging + soft roll |
| Pilling complaints | Use 18–28 RMB/m bouclé only |
| Visual inconsistency | Consistent lighting in product images |
| Unboxing issues | Include card with “let fabric breathe” |
We’ve seen complaint rates fall below 1% once these were implemented.
Which wholesale price and supplier terms work best for bouclé beds in 2025?
Every retailer wants better pricing—but without compromising visual impact.
In 2025, bouclé bed frames sell best at FOB $118–168 USD, with a wholesale MOQ of 20–30 units per color and support for compressed packaging.
Dive deeper:
Bouclé isn’t cheap to work with. Good yarn density and durability start at RMB 18/m and go up to RMB 28/m. If you want to avoid customer returns, don’t go for the basic 13 RMB/m fabric.
Here’s a breakdown:
| Fabric Grade | RMB/m Price | Suitable For | Complaint Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Low-grade bouclé | 13–15 | Offline stores only | 3–6% |
| Mid-grade bouclé | 18–22 | E-commerce sellers | 1–2% |
| High-grade bouclé | 24–28 | Premium showrooms | <1% |
I always advise offering 2–3 colors per model (ivory, oatmeal, light grey) and bundling the MOQ accordingly—20 units/color usually makes production smoother.
Good factories will also include:
- Free lifestyle photography
- Assembly videos
- Label customization
- Packaging tests for bounce-back
If you're buying under EXW or FOB terms, make sure you include fabric quality details in your PO to avoid surprises.
Conclusion
Bouclé beds are still trending in 2025—but only when sold with care, updated styling, and supplier alignment.
