The solid wood bed – natural quality for your home
High-quality beds are more than just a place to sleep—they are a symbol of well-being and, depending on the features, comfort. High-quality solid wood beds can reflect the natural warmth in the bedroom and create a relaxing ambiance. With their organically warm and breathable material, they promote a pleasant sleeping environment and are a basic feature of a bedroom where we feel comfortable and relaxed, achieving peace and contentment.
The smooth, sanded surface, untreated or finished with natural oil or wax, is soft to the touch and also acts as an effective air filter. The variety of designs ranges from futons and floating beds to robust beam beds or metal-free beds with intelligent construction. Classic bed frames with headboards and footboards for adults and children are also available.
Classic bed frames with headboards and footboards for adults and children are also available. At Futonwerk, we pay attention not only to the quality of the material but also to the stability of the bed model, so that a good night's sleep is not disturbed by squeaking and creaking.
Then we consider the variety of different wood types and the influence of the oil on the structure and color of the wood. Woods such as heartwood beech, wild oak, walnut, alder, ash, birch, or Swiss stone pine offer numerous design options. Whether the wood comes from sustainable forestry and the bed is handcrafted or industrially influences the quality and sustainability. A high-quality solid wood bed combines comfort, durability, and naturalness .
What characterizes a real solid wood bed?
A solid wood bed differs from veneered or laminated beds in that it uses solid pieces of wood (solid wood, without any additional materials). All parts of a piece of furniture are made of a single type of wood and may be glued, but not veneered (DIN 68871 standard).
The glued joints are generally 100% stable, and the amount of modern, non-toxic glue used is barely measurable and completely harmless. Solid wood (Vollholz) means that all parts of a piece of furniture are made of solid, unglued pieces. This often has an unbeatable grain, but is very expensive for long pieces, such as bed sides.
Most of our bed models are made of solid wood , which produces excellent results, especially with joinery-quality wood. Finally, there is also real wood (real wood veneer), which simply means it's made of wood, usually a tabletop with a glued-on veneer surface.
The choice of wood plays a crucial role in solid wood beds. Untreated or finished with natural oils: heartwood beech, wild oak, walnut, or Swiss pine – each wood offers its own aesthetic and functional advantages. In addition to their appearance, solid wood beds impress with their stability and sustainability. They are also free of harmful substances, and their processing promotes pollutant-free indoor air.
Which solid wood bed is right for me?
Due to the sheer variety of solid wood bed models, it's almost impossible to make a general recommendation about which model suits which type, as lifestyle magazines often do.
The decision for your own bed should first come from your gut, your initial feeling, which then needs to stand up to rational consideration of the details:
- Does the design of the bed harmonize with my apartment?
- Does the build quality suit me ? (Surface, construction, stability, details)
- Is it compatible with my mattress, futon, or sleep system ? (Frame height/depth, other dimensions, and possible obstacles)
- Does the price fit my budget ?
Find your perfect bed. It will do you good, bring you joy every day, and encourage you to engage positively with sleep.
For some, it's a designer bed with its unusual design that stimulates the senses. For others, it's a cozy four-poster bed that invites you to snuggle up. For many, it should be minimalist, blend in simply, and simply provide stability, because the mattress is the most important part of a good night's sleep.
Either way, what matters is that you make it your place, your refuge, your personal sanctuary.
The right size for your solid wood bed
The size of your bed significantly influences your sleeping comfort. A little more space also means more relaxation, because your balance and safety systems are hardly needed at night. On the other hand, too much space can also be confusing because it lacks orientation. This varies from bed to bed.
Single beds made of solid wood are available in standard sizes such as 90x200 cm or 100x200 cm. Models from 140x200 cm are particularly popular
For couples, with 180x200 cm or 200x200 cm offering additional space for more freedom of movement.
The length of the bed should ideally be at least 20 cm longer than your body length to ensure safe and comfortable sleeping in any position.
Since a quality bed has a very long lifespan and is usually used for a correspondingly long time, the decision regarding the size should be carefully considered. The appropriate range is available.
Configure your solid bed in the right size
Remember that your well-being and, in the long term, your health are at stake when you consider the question of which bed is right for you.
Ask yourself about the importance of appearance , of a pleasing appearance (whether particularly striking or particularly simple), of feel , of touch - for example, how important is the smoothness and suppleness of the surface - but also of smell - whether your bed is better if it is odorless, like untreated hardwood, or if it smells of fresh oil or even of tree resin, like that of stone pine.
How do I behave in bed ? Do I move a lot or a little in my sleep? Do I like to lie in bed for pleasure or just to sleep? All of these things influence the right bed size .
