Criteria Used for Evaluation
Stability
Whether you’re buying a mesh netted bed canopy for protection or for any other reason, the last thing anyone wants to worry about is flushing money away.
We took building materials, and company practices into great consideration when choosing our list items here. This includes going back into the manufacturer’s product history, ensuring a long lineage of well-maintained production practices, and high-quality end products.
As proven by end-user reviews, everything on this list is a prime example of the value of the price you pay for it.
Most (if not all) of these bed canopies are made with 100% polyester mesh netting, and well-made pipes and poles used to frame the bed canopy. Some of the products listed here come with mounting hardware, whereas others do not. Some are self-sustaining and stand up on their own, and the make and quality of all these aspects were taken into consideration when narrowing our search.
Versatility
Oftentimes products that are specifically used for one thing in the past are maneuvered around their intended use to produce a different result.
In the world of bed canopies — which all began to provide users with added privacy, insect protection, and heat collection — people have gotten very artistic and interesting with the things that they adapt their canopies for.
It’s imperative that a loose product like a bed canopy isn’t pigeonholed into a single corner, but rather extends beyond an invented purpose.
Aside from the unintended use cases, a good or great bed canopy should have many options, whether it be colorways, mounting options, or aesthetically generous with variable outcomes.
Style
In the 21st century, bed canopies are generally used to bring a lot of added glamour to your bedroom, whether it be just desired extension of aesthetic, or purposefully attempting to add a little romantic flair to your situation, they’re used mostly for looks.
Yes, some of the canopies on our list are plain. Some are standard on purpose. These are fantastic in two specific scenarios. The first is a world where you want just that. Plenty of people prefer to have a no-frills look in their accessories and furniture. The plain standard for bed canopies is exactly as advertised. You can’t go wrong there. The second scenario are those that want to add the flair themselves, and starting with the blankest canvas you can is key in this case.
Atop the list of elegance and flair, our choices look at aspects like the Goplus Four Corner that simulates extra elegance by mirroring the look of a four post bed canopy without the need to actually own a four poster yourself.
Others like the Princess Canopy add colorful flair and cute aesthetics to your bed canopy and can evoke feelings from fantasy worlds, or royalty. Additions include things like embroidered flowers, lace fringe, stars stitched on the mesh, or a feather halo on the peak.
The flare and added elegance when shopping for bed canopies are extremely key.
10 Best Bed Canopies
1. Timbuktoo
They call it a “Luxury” right there in the name, and if Timbuktoo’s brand loyalty and reputation has anything to say about it, that’s exactly what it is. This easy to hang luxury bed canopy has a classic flavor, with a fancy feel. It has more holes per inch than almost every single of its competitors and refuses to keep fresh air out while keeping everything else from having access to your bed. Also included is a protective skirt design at the bottom of the veil, and a wonderfully protective carrying or storage bag.
Entrances
Most bed canopies have a glaring flaw, and it becomes dangerous for those that might get out of bed in the middle of the night, or fall off while sleeping: The only have a single opening and that opening is usually located at the foot of the bed. The Timbuktoo Mosquito Net has one opening on each side, making it extremely convenient to get out of bed without disrupting your partner (if you have one) or getting tangled in your canopy.
Internal Hook / Loop
There’s something to be said for manufacturers and designers that allow for more from their products. The fine folks at Timbuktoo added a hook (they call it an internal loop) within their canopy that is extremely easy to hang things off of. Add a mood light to your canopy. Hang a baby monitor or swirling mobile. Or be weird and hang another canopy within your canopy.
Cost and Value
Sitting atop our list of best bed canopies this luxury item offers a lot of value for a small investment. If you -- like we have -- consider for a moment the quality in construction, the thoughtfulness of its two biggest features, and the absolute ability to cover any size bed that exists in normal homes, you’ve got the perfect package, for barely any dough. That’s value.
2. Goplus
Remember not a few moments ago when we mentioned that most canopy veils are used for glamour and show, well this Goplus 4 corner canopy is the pinnacle of such a desire. In a year where most of us cannot afford a premium bedroom furniture, we sure aren’t going to be affording any four-post fancy beds designed specifically for the king and queen of game of thrones land (I’ve never watched that show). But this canopy will glamorously simulate such an elegance.
Four Post Simulation
This egregiously gorgeous bed canopy takes the simple and aged design of a circular drop veil and adds four connecting corners to the mix. Using the screw hooks that come in the box, you can easily set up your Goplus, and have an elegant four-post feel without any of the actual posts. Step up your Malm game, and create a unique looking bedroom environment that can keep those bugs off at the same time.
Polyester
Sometimes people mistakenly purchase nets or canopies thinking that the will do well as curtains, or blot out the sun. But if what you’re after is something that looks nice, and also keeps the bugs out, you’re not going to get a better quality net in many other places. The high quality polyester netting guarantees to keep nearly every bug out of your bed space.
Cost and Value
At around fifteen dollars, the Goplus four corner post bed adds a whole lot of luxury to an otherwise unglamorous situation, and it does what you’d want from a netted canopy to boot. Truly, can you put a price on simulated wealth? You can’t really. But if you were to try, I’m sure fifteen dollars would be a really great price to pay for such a thing.
3. Twinkle Star
Another carrier for the standard sensation that is just doing one thing really well and not really trying to be the superstar at the party.

The Even Naturals canopy net is a no frills premium canopy that comes from a wide pedigree of solid construction, and well maintained business practices.

An abundance of positive feedback directly (or slightly indirectly) from the exact target audience, in a positive light means magic.
Cost and Value
This is a premium canopy, and considering the success it has seen on the marketplace via reviews and comments, it’s safe to say that it’s a great one. Possibly the only thing holding this back is that it’s fifty percent more expensive than others attempting to hit the same audience. At over twenty bucks, the Boho & Beach Bed Canopy will cost you a few dollars more than others on this list.
7. GYBest Lace Curtain
In a similar vein as our number three pick on this list, the GYBest Round Lace Curtain Dome does an astounding job of adding a little bit of extra flare to the canopy game. This time, with a little more sheer, and frills than the flower embroidery from the other item. It’s lightweight elegance, and gets the job done if you’re also looking for a proper bug mesh net to save you while you sleep.
Glamour Colourshift
Pink is a fantastic color, no matter what way you look at it. And if the target audience or end user for this canopy happens to like pink, there in luck. But unlike many of the other canopies on this list, the GYBest Round Lace Curtain Dome comes in a lavender shade of purple, and a lilac turquoise shade of blue as well. Fit your mood, or your child's favorite color to your order, and get this awesome looking canopy just they way they like it.
Lace Dress
Though most have designed the peak of their canopy mesh nets to look simple, or are just hung over a frame, it’s a neglectful misuse of the first place that draws the eye when they look at a draping canopy over a bed. The GYBest Round Lace Curtain Dome has added a few layers of lace skirt to the top that truly makes this canopy stand out. It’s adorable, sweet, and glamorous.
Cost and Value
Cheaper than other premium canopies on this list, at around ten dollars, the Round Lace Curtain Dome does what is asked of it, and quite a bit that’s not asked (like greatly increasing the aesthetic value of your bed canopy), and at roughly half the price of other top tier bed mosquito nets. The Round Lace Curtain Dome is a tremendous value.
8. DaTong Pop-Up
It’s no surprise that folks spending a little bit of money to keep their sleeping environment bug free might want to have a little bit more out of their mesh net or canopy. In comes the DaTong pop-up tent that acts as a canopy, but is self structured, and stands completely on it’s own without any mounting or holes in your walls. The DaTong pop-up is the best self supporting mesh canopy you can buy right now, for the price.
More Than a Bedroom
If you’ve never had to try and mount or hang a normal bed canopy in the woods over your dining or picnic table, or even your tent, only to realize that you’ve have to park your things under a tree to give you something to attach it to. Well the DaTong Pop-Up tent is completely portable, and is self supported, so it can be opened up anywhere, including in the middle of nowhere.
Carry With You
Speaking of taking the DaTong Pop-Up tent to the middle of nowhere, your trip will be far easier thanks to the collapsable design, paired with its instant and easy set-up. The entire tent and canopy completely folds down to a flat, and packs away into a small carrying bag that is super easy to throw into your luggage, or motor vehicle.
Cost and Value
This canopy, or mesh mosquito net runs a little high in comparison to the rest of the items on this list, but being that it is self sufficient, that increase in dollars might be worth it depending on whether or not you’re seeking a canopy for things other than your bed. If you’re on the hunt for something that just stays above you bed, the value might not be here with the DaTong Pop-up.
9. Sid Trading Triple Lace
When you look to step up your canopy game, and you want those extra frills, there are some great options out there. But the Sid Trading Triple Lace Canopy lands on our list because it does the insane upgrade to your elegance you’re seeking, but doesn’t fall into that childlike wonder category.
Medieval Legacy
Stepping up that glamour and climbing back into the 17th century, the Sid Trading Triple Lace canopy has a frilled peak with multiple (probably triple, thanks to the clues in the name of the product) layers of lace fringe that speaks to a beautiful, and more mature version of some of these other products. The shape, and the design at the peak also remind us of a castle tower, and who doesn’t want to add a little medieval elegance to your decor.
Large Canopy
As the main goal of these bed canopies is usually to keep pestering insects from getting at your delicious skin while you sleep, there is an awful lot of canopies on the market that don’t fit around common bed sizes. Nor do they reach the ground around said beds, which is mostly necessary if you’re looking to create a proper bug seal around bed.
Cost and Value
Some extra frills and endearing design here will cost you a few extra dollars, but the extremely well-made materials used to combine into the making of the Sid Trading Triple Lace bed canopy are worth that bump. If you’re not one to take a blank canvas and make your ideal looking canopy, this option is a strong one for an out-of-the-box look.
10. OctoRose
Ripped straight from the dreams of our number two item on this list, we’ve got a slightly lower budget version with a little bit less of a clean finish. The OctoRose 4 Poster Bed Canopy is beautifully crafted and works with or without actually having to spend a ton of money on a modern bed that has four posts.
Many Colors
The one thing that the OctoRose 4 Poster has over any of the other four post simulated bed canopies is the insane amount of colour options it has. On the basic product page, you can choose between fifteen colors that include a wonderful shade of turquoise, a dark and romantic rose, a dreamy black and many more.
Fit Full
The OctoRose 4 Poster Bed Canopy includes mounting materials and hardware, and is smartly designed to fit beds from single to king size, making for a full range of fits from a single product. There is no visible example of these canopies not fitting a customers bed through product review scouring, and it will work as advertised in keeping your bed area protected from bugs.
Cost and Value
Slightly below average price for the type of premium canopy this falls under, the OctoRose 4 Poster Bed Canopy kicks your bedroom aesthetic up a dozen notches without breaking the bank. With the largest number of color options available as well, the OctoRose steps up to the plate, and you won’t be hard pressed to find a color to match your bedroom feel.
