Why Choose a Wooden Bed Frame?

• Built to Last: Solid wood frames are incredibly durable, often lasting for decades.
• Timeless Style: Whether rustic or modern, wood suits every interior.
• Sustainable Choice: Responsibly sourced timber is an eco-friendly investment.
• Natural Aesthetic: Wood brings warmth and texture to any bedroom design.

Types of Wooden Bed Frames

Floating Bed Frames

Floating beds create a striking, modern look by appearing to "hover" above the floor. Supported by a recessed base, they give the illusion of weightlessness while offering the full strength of solid wood craftsmanship. Ideal for minimalist interiors, a floating wooden bed helps create the sense of more space - and makes cleaning underneath easy too.

Chunky Wooden Bed Frames

Looking for a bold, statement-making bed? Chunky frames made from thick timber bring strength and rustic character to any bedroom. Their robust build makes them a great long-term investment.

Wooden Beds with Headboards

Headboards add comfort, height, and style. From slatted designs to solid panels, they help complete the look of your bed.

Choosing the Right Size

Choose the right bed size based on your room dimensions and sleep style:

Don't forget: chunky bed frames add visual weight and take up slightly more space than slimmer designs, so be sure to measure carefully.

Solid Wood Types & Finishes

At Funky Chunky Furniture, all bed frames are made using solid, sustainably sourced pine — never veneers or MDF. Each bed is handcrafted to order and finished to bring out the natural beauty of the wood.

Available Finishes:

• Rustic Wax Finishes: Enhance the grain and give the wood a rich, tactile feel. Choose from multiple tones to suit your décor.
• Oak-Style Finishes: Achieve the timeless look of oak while maintaining the character of pine.

Our finishes protect your bed while letting the beauty of the wood shine through.
