I looked into getting an American style bed when I first moved to Zurich. One option was to buy a "Heavenly Bed" from the Westin Hotel. It is extremely comfortable and lots of great accessories. It is a little pricey. If you go to the Westin.com site, you can find a section for European buyers. Sheraton and the W Hotel, are also owned by same company, and have their versions for sale.

There are several long threads at www.fatwallet.com on all of these beds. Go to the sight and use the search function on Heavenly Bed or W Bed.
