Interior trends come and go, but a beautifully crafted wooden bed is timeless. Few materials are more charming than European oak, especially when it’s of premium quality.
Here at The Wooden Bed Company our beds are hand-crafted from the finest European oak or Scandinavian pine. Whichever material you choose, you will be investing in a bed that can last for a lifetime.
Why Choose a Bed Made from European Oak?
When buying a new bed, you want it to be both attractive and durable. At The Wooden Bed Company, we pride ourselves on crafting solid wooden beds in our North Yorkshire workshop, using age-old joinery techniques and precision woodworking machinery. We never use veneered timber—only the finest solid European oak and Scandinavian pine.
If you want a bed that will stand the test of time, European oak is one of the best materials available. But what makes it so special?
Here’s why a European oak bed could be the perfect choice for your home.
Strength & Durability
European oak is renowned for its incredible strength. Unlike softer woods, it is a hardwood with a dense grain, so is extremely tough. This means your bed won’t just last a few years: with the right care, it should last a lifetime.
At The Wooden Bed Company, our beds are crafted using the mortise and tenon technique, an age-old woodworking method that creates incredibly strong joints. When paired with the natural strength of oak, you get a bed that won’t creak or wobble even as the years pass by.
Effortlessly Charming Designs
Oak is a popular timber in British homes for a reason. Its unique grain patterns, knots, and warm-honey tones mean every piece is worth cherishing.
Whether your interior design scheme is rustic, contemporary or traditional, one of our oak beds will blend in seamlessly. It can make a wonderful statement piece for any bedroom. Since our beds are available in five stunning finishes, you can easily personalise it to suit your space.
Ethically Sourced Materials
Our European oak is always sourced from responsibly managed forests. At The Wooden Bed Company, we prioritise ethical sourcing to ensure that our furniture is as environmentally friendly as possible.
Unlike mass-produced beds that rely on composite woods and veneers, our solid oak beds contain zero MDF, chipboard, or harmful adhesives. This means fewer chemicals in your home along with a smaller environmental impact.
Handmade in the Gorgeous County of Yorkshire
Every bed we produce is handmade in our workshop in North Yorkshire using a combination of traditional joinery and modern tools. Unlike many mass-market furniture brands, we never outsource production or rely on factory assembly lines.
Our craftsmen take pride in their work, ensuring that every bed meets the highest quality standards. This commitment to craftsmanship is why we offer a 12-year guarantee for your peace of mind.
Flat-Pack Furniture Without Compromising Quality
Flat-pack furniture has come a long way, and our beds prove that it doesn’t have to mean poor quality. While many people associate flat-pack furniture with flimsy materials and difficult assembly, our carefully developed system is designed for ease.
Does DIY make you nervous? No worries, our wooden beds can be assembled in only 20 minutes, even if you only have basic DIY skills. We provide the convenience of flat-pack with the quality of handcrafted solid wood.
Custom Sizing & Bespoke Options
Do you have an awkwardly shaped bedroom? Or do you need an oak frame for a non-standard mattress?
At The Wooden Bed Company, we offer bespoke sizing options, so you can have a bed made to your exact specifications. Whether you need an extra-long bed, a wider frame, or something tailored to a specific space, we can craft a solution that fits your needs perfectly.
A Lifetime of Quality Sleep
While our oak beds may cost more than MDF or pine alternatives, they should last for a lifetime. Instead of replacing a cheap bed every few years, a European oak bed will last decades with minimal maintenance.
With prices starting from just £350, our beds offer a fantastic balance of quality and affordability.
