Oxford Custom Timber Bed Frame Oak

Framed grain. Understated presence.

The Oxford Custom Timber Bed Frame Oak draws its character from the relationship between a broad headboard panel and the solid oak border around it. Set slightly back within its surround, the panel creates a fine shadow line that brings the timber into focus. A low, straight footboard balances the taller headboard, with square legs and neatly aligned rails completing a composed, architectural silhouette.

Victorian Ash Oak gives the frame its substance, while the headboard’s veneer panel provides a generous surface for the grain to flow across. The design remains simple enough for the finish to make a real difference: a pale stain brings out subtle variations in tone, while a deeper brown sharpens the outline of the recessed panel. Solid pine slats support the mattress, with the mattress fit and under-bed clearance made to your selection.

Make Oxford Fit Your Room

Start with the size.
Choose Single, King Single, Double, Queen, King or Super King to suit your mattress and room. For dimensions outside the listed range, send us your measurements for a personalised quote.

Choose your mattress fit.
With the sit-inside option, the bottom of the mattress sits 2cm below the top of the frame, leaving a timber edge visible around it. With sit flush, the mattress rests on top of the base and its sides align with the frame’s outer edges, creating a continuous outline without a projecting timber ledge. Both options retain Oxford’s recessed headboard and low foot end.

Set the clearance.
Choose 5cm, 10cm, 15cm or 20cm beneath the side rails. This follows the exposed leg height, from the floor to the bottom of the rail, so you can picture the space available for cleaning or suitable storage boxes. Lower settings give the bed a more grounded stance; taller settings open up the space below.

Choose your finish.
Light shades keep the recessed headboard soft and understated; darker colours make its border and shadow line more pronounced.

Tinted lacquer: Choose from a wide range of oak colours, from light, natural-looking shades to warm browns and deeper tones. The lacquer colours and seals the timber with a smooth protective coating; black and white finishes are available at an additional cost.

Livos Kunos natural oil upgrade: Livos Kunos Natural Oil Sealer uses natural oils including linseed oil to deepen the grain and create a water-resistant finish with a satin sheen. Livos describes its natural coatings as “chemical-free”; for an allergy-conscious choice, its fully declared ingredients help you check suitability for individual sensitivities.

Natural differences in grain and tone give each oak bed its own character, so the same finish can vary subtly between pieces.

Framed Detail, Solid Support

A timber veneer headboard panel is set within solid Victorian Ash Oak framing, giving Oxford a broad grain surface with a strong timber surround. The side rails, legs and low footboard are solid Victorian Ash Oak, carrying that substantial construction through the base.
