California custom timber bed frame with headboard

California Pine: A Welcoming Centrepiece for Your Bedroom

A broad, smooth headboard gives the California its welcoming feel. It frames your pillows beautifully, while straight legs and a low, open footend stop the bed from feeling bulky. Solid pine adds natural warmth, making this a lovely starting point for a relaxed bedroom that still feels thoughtfully put together.

The California is easy to dress up or keep simple. Fresh white bedding brings out the timber grain; softer colours and textured linen create a more relaxed look. With no tall footboard at the end, the design also keeps your bedding in view and the room feeling open.

Choose the Clearance Beneath Your Bed

Select 5cm, 10cm, 15cm or 20cm under-bed clearance, or choose a higher 25cm, 30cm or 35cm option at an additional cost. Matching California bedsides can complete the room. Already have a headboard you love? A separate California base-only design is also available.

Solid Pine, Made to Suit Your Room

The frame, headboard and footboard where fitted are solid New Zealand pine, with no veneer. Natural grain and knots give each bed its own character. Choose from the available pine stain colours and tinted lacquer finishes to find the tone that works with your flooring and furniture.

How Would You Like Your Mattress to Sit?

Sit flush: the mattress rests on top of the frame, with no raised retaining lip along the rails or footend. Sit inside 2cm: the mattress sits 2cm down within the frame. Select your preferred fit when ordering.

Support You Can Rely On

Solid pine slats measure 90mm × 35mm with 70mm spacing. Queen includes centre support; King and Super King add two support legs to the floor. Single, King Single and Double have no centre support as standard, with heavy-duty support available by request. Double through Super King have a combined weight capacity of 380kg.

Need Storage as Well?

Drawers or a gas-lift base can be quoted as a custom upgrade. Optional drawers have solid NZ pine linings, full-extension metal runners and a 70kg load capacity per drawer. Choose top or bottom finger pulls; push-to-open is available from $80 per drawer.

Gas-Lift Build Details

The optional lift supports up to 90kg and provides 35cm internal storage height. It uses four metal beams from head to foot, a central floor leg and 15 plywood slats (55mm × 10mm, 70mm gaps). A two-strut lift opens to about 45 degrees; the four-strut duo lift moves the mattress forward while keeping it level, making the head-end storage and mattress easier to reach.
