Natural and unfinished wooden bed frame

Raw Talent

Sometimes, it helps to take a step back to appreciate the simpler things in life. For those that enjoy a classic wood finish, an unfinished wooden bed frame is the perfect choice in the bedroom.

With these frames, the characteristics of the underlying cuts of wood shine through in every piece - from the base to the headboard, these traditional beds fit well in a range of interior aesthetics. From fans of minimalism to complementing existing natural finish furniture, our unfinished beds are a great fit.

 

Why Choose an Unfinished Wooden Bed?

Unfinished wooden beds offer a unique aesthetic which helps them stand out in the bedroom for many reasons. So, why should you choose one of these natural beauties?

 

Wood grain: If you’re a fan of natural wood grain, an unfinished wooden bed is the choice for you. With these frames, we do away with protective lacquer and stains, instead allowing the wood itself to be the sole focus of the finish.

Durability and strength: Wood is a commonly used material in furniture construction, with many brands and retailers. There are many reasons for this, with the two main ones revolving around wood’s ability to withstand consistent use.

Repairability: Another benefit of natural wood comes from its ability to be continually fixed over and over again. In fact, we offer a 12-year guarantee on the parts that make up your natural wooden bed. In the unlikely event that something doesn’t look quite right, simply contact us and we’ll explore your options.

Unfinished Bed Materials

Our unfinished beds are offered in two materials: oak or pine. Both of which are some of the most popular options in the wooden bed space due to their strong balance of style and functionality.

Oak Wooden Beds: Oak, a hardwood, has a reputation for its high strength and long-lasting look. Plus, coupled with its rich grain patterns and customisability through staining, oak is a common choice among many households.

Pine Wooden Beds: While pine is a softer wood than oak, it mirrors a lot of its benefits. Pine is also a more affordable choice compared to oak, due to its lighter weight and shorter growing process.

Unfinished Wooden Bed Styles

You can find every single style, size, and type of wooden bed in an unfinished natural appearance across our collection:

Standard Height Beds: These beds are designed with a footboard height of 40 cm, making them easily accessible for most users.

Low Wooden Beds: Low beds offer a stand-out, low to the floor design that offers greater compatibility with low ceilings.

Platform Beds: Platform beds provide a single solid base upon which the mattress sits, giving a more supportive night’s sleep and a firmer overall feel.

Beds With Headboards: If you like a headboard, worry not. Many of our styles can be purchased either with or without a headboard, if you desire.

Ottoman Storage Beds: The ultimate storage solution, ottoman beds provide a liftable base to keep your nighttime essentials together.

Oak Bed Frames: As mentioned above, you can find most of our beds available with oak materials, which provide a unique aesthetic, especially when unfinished.

Four Poster Beds: The four poster bed has truly stood the test of time. This is our interpretation of the classic design.

Live Edge Bed Frames: If you want your bed to be truly your own, you’re in luck. With a live edge bed, we follow the natural curvature and contours of the wood from which the frame is cut, or a unique style every time.

Care and Maintenance

Although an unfinished bed provides a unique look, the absence of a protective lacquer can leave the underlying wood itself prone to damage from spills, or even staining.

As an alternative, we do also offer bed frames in a variety of different finishes, each achieved with a mixture of standard and premium quality varnish:

White Wooden Beds: Is natural too dark? If so, our clear white stain adds a vibrant, matte finish to your bed frame - a great choice for contemporary rooms.

Light WoodenBeds: To protect the bed frame’s grain and patterns, we can apply a clear, water-based lacquer that showcases the natural finish, while adding protection.

Medium Wooden Beds: Our medium stain enhances the appearance of your wooden frame, adding a touch of warmth to your room.

Walnut Wooden Beds: As the second darkest finish we offer, a walnut frame oozes class and character, no matter the frame.

Black Wooden Beds: For a bold look, nothing beats a black stain. We use our darkest stain available to create a striking bed frame that makes a statement.

Did you know that we also offer a premium selection of finished? That’s right, our Rubio Monocoat finishes offer a mixture of both slightly different styles, as well as enhanced durability. Find out more about our premium finishes here: Premium Rubio Monocoat Finishes.
