Wooden Beds

Choosing the right wooden bed frame takes time and consideration. Wooden beds are so versatile because they come in a wide range of designs, colours, and sizes making them suitable for most bedrooms. Solid wooden beds are also extremely sturdy and last a long time.

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

Why choose a wooden bed?

Wooden beds are generally some of the cheapest bed frames available. This makes them perfect for a range of bedrooms and spare rooms. However, this doesn’t mean wooden beds lack quality. In fact, wooden bed frames are strong and durable so they will last a long time. This makes wooden beds ideal for kids and teenagers – as well as being durable they’re easy to clean and offer a classic theme to any bedroom. Wooden beds are great statement-makers as well, giving any room a great homely feel, and the fact they can be low in price is a great bonus!

How to choose the right size wooden bed?

One of the most important things to consider when choosing your new wooden bed frame is which size 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 for your wooden bed frame. Then, comparing 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, so they can fit in any bedroom. For most master bedrooms, king size wooden beds and double bed frames are popular as they provide enough space for two. However, choosing a super king wooden bed will bring in some extra luxury for your bedroom. For children, our wooden single beds or bunk beds offer a classic and fun look to any bedroom theme and are built to last.

The best wooden bed style for you

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

Wooden beds offer a natural look and come in different wood grains and colours. Pine, oak, and walnut-finish wooden bed frames give that traditional, homely, and warm feeling to your bedroom that will stand the test of time due to their enduring style.

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 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 white wooden bed frames will bring that natural look into your room but brighten up small or dull spaces, giving it a more modern aesthetic. While a black painted 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.
