Wooden Beds

Choosing the right wooden bed frame takes careful consideration. Solid wooden beds are so versatile because they come in a wide range of designs, colours, and sizes. And they are extremely sturdy and long-lasting, making them suitable for most people and their bedrooms.

Here are some things to consider when choosing your wooden bed.

Why choose a wooden bed frame?

Wooden beds are generally some of the cheapest bed frames available. They’re perfect for a range of bedrooms including spare rooms, guest rooms, master bedrooms, and children's bedrooms. They’re so popular because they are super strong and durable. As they’re made with such high-quality wood material, they will last a long time. And don’t worry, they're easy to clean making them ideal for kids and teenagers. They really do offer an array of qualities including being aesthetically pleasing. With a wooden bed frame, you can create a classic bedroom theme. They’re great if you want to make a big statement at low cost as well, as giving a room a lovely, homely feel.

How to choose the right size wooden bed?

You'll need to know which size of wooden bed will fit best in your bedroom. Most wooden beds don’t come in traditional sizes, often because of the following:

- Wooden bed frames are often larger than their mattresses.

- Headboards and footboards will increase the length of your wooden bed.

For this reason, first it’s best to get an idea based on generic sizes. Then, compare the measurements of your specific wooden bed frame with the space available. Visit our home measuring guide for some extra help.

Wooden beds come in all sizes, from space-saving single to super king so they can fit in any bedroom. For most master bedrooms, king size wooden bed frames and a wooden double bed frame are popular as they provide enough space for two. Choosing a super king wooden bed will bring in some extra luxury for your bedroom whilst a double wooden frame can save on floor space. For children, our wooden single beds or bunk beds offer a classic and fun look to any bedroom theme, they're practical and built to last.

The best wooden bed style for you

Wooden bed frames come in a wide range of styles and colours that are perfect for complimenting your existing furniture and can add a traditional style to your bedroom.

Solid wood beds offer a natural look and come in different wood grains and colours. Having a pine bed, oak bed, or a dark walnut-finish gives that traditional, homely, and warm feeling to your bedroom.

Wooden sleigh beds in white or walnut will add an air of classic elegance to your room. These beds are a real statement piece and will act as the focal point for the rest of your furniture. Similarly, a wooden bed with a high footboard gives the same kind of feel but won’t take up quite as much room.

Finish off your contemporary bedroom with the addition of a painted wooden bed. Grey or a white wooden bed will bring that natural look into your room but brighten up small or dull spaces, giving it a more modern aesthetic. While a black wooden bed will add depth and create a sophisticated environment.

Finally, you can have the best of both worlds with a wooden bed frame that has some exposed wood and some painted or glossed components. Find a colour that fits with your décor and enjoy a current style without having to compromise on the quality, cost, or durability of the product.
