What to look for when buying timber bed frames

 Important factors to consider when buying a bed frame

 

Sizing and height

One of the most important factors to consider when looking for a new bed frame is its dimensions. Unfortunately, these measurements will vary from one online retailer to another, so it's important to compare your options and make sure you choose a bed frame that is both the right size for you and will be low enough for you to get into and out of without any issues.

 

Easy Assembly

Bed frames are never easy to assemble, so if you can find a base that doesn't require any tools to put together (that's what we call “easy”), then you should consider getting that. Also, if the bed frame will have hundreds of screws, then maybe it's time to reconsider your options and look at something more easily assembled.

 

Trial and return policy 

Many reputable brands offer bed frame trials from thirty to one hundred and twenty days, allowing you to sleep on your new bed frame in the comfort of your own home for a realistic test period. However, many retailers have conditions or charge for returns, so it's important to read their policy before purchasing.

 

Squeak-free construction

If you've ever owned a bed base that is squeaking, then you know how disruptive it can be when trying to sleep at night. One way to stop this from happening again is by fitting the bed frame with protective floor protectors purchased from a hardware store. Also, if your bed base will be used on wooden floors, it's best to fit the legs with rubber or felt floor protectors, as these are designed to help keep the bed frame secure while also preventing scratches on wooden floors!

 

Sustainability and health certifications

When choosing a frame for your new bed, custom made to fit all of your requirements and preferences, what's most important is the base. ​If it were you, you'd probably want to know that it's environmentally friendly and made only from the best quality materials by people who take pride in their work. With such a huge investment as your new frame, this is precisely how we feel about our platform – so naturally, it goes without saying that we would never be willing to compromise on the essential components that make up the foundation of any great venture!

 

Aesthetic 

If you have a stylish bed frame, you might as well get some rest to go along with it! If you're in the market for a comfortable new mattress and are looking for the best of both worlds (your very own piece of furniture AND top-notch sleep), a platform bed frame provides an excellent foundation. The best platform frames not only look beautiful but also elevate your mattress, which helps add extra comfort and aesthetic value to your bedroom.


Types of bed frames

 

Slatted frames

Slats offer great airflow, but make sure they're no wider than eight centimeters apart. Slatted frames are great for hot and humid climates because they help maintain your body temperature while you sleep. They also let the mattress breathe, which is important in less humid climates. Heavy solid bed frames can be difficult to take apart and transfer, so slats make a lighter alternative.

The two most common slatted bases are flexi and flat slats, but they're quite different. They both have their specific functions.

 

Flexi slats

One of the best aspects of flexi slats is adjusting to your sleeping position and movements. This makes them an ideal choice for those who like to sleep on their stomach or back. However, this kind of bed frame may be less necessary for those who sleep on their side because you have to rest on the slats. After all, these slats have a bit of “give” in them which can cause spring mattresses to sag over time.

Flexible slats may be a cheap solution, but they lack the long-term durability that a grand wood solution would have.

 

Flat Slats

Your customer needs a new bed. They want it to be supportive, stable, and reliable. You offer the perfect solution with a flat slat bed. This bed is great for any mattress, will not damage the mattress, and keeps them comfortable and supported throughout the night.

Nordic Design – The Essence

Image
  It’s hard to sum up Scandinavian design… without resorting to words like “simple”, “minimalist” and “ergonomic”, but it can be done. Occasionally. As you’d expect, the essence of Nordic design is as simple, minimalist and ergonomic (ahem) as the products themselves. If you pare this design tradition down to its bare bones, here’s what you’ll find. Less really is more Maybe it comes from centuries of carving (often literally) out a living from a sparse and sometimes unforgiving environment, but the Scandinavians are huge fans of minimalism. There’s nowhere else in the world where form and function are so closely allied. In fact, very often, you’ll find it’s form and  multi -function, to make the most out of every object. Empty space is also a feature – not every room, nook and cranny has to be filled with… stuff …just… because.  It’s OK to have some open spaces because in Nordic design, empty space is reframed as part of the décor and style. Lighting and setting is as important as obj

Solid Timber Dining Table Buying Tips

Image
  If you're like most of us, you don't buy a new dining table every six months. However, if you took the time to build a solid relationship with your furniture, it would probably last as long or longer than some things do. Making this decision is crucial and should not be done in haste. Following tips will allow you to choose a solid timber dining table that matches your home, lifestyle, and taste- a design that you will love for many more years to come.  Step 1: Measure Your Space Don't fall in love with a design only to figure out where to put your new table. Instead, save yourself time (and heartache) and measure the exact size of the area you plan to place it. Then deduct 80-100cm from each dimension. Why? To avoid a cramped and unwelcoming dining room, your table should ideally be 90cm in diameter. However, if you have a small space or one that changes based on the whims of the household, consider a convertible table like this one - it can convert to multiple differen
