Explore Our Wooden Bed Collection

At Simba, our wooden bed collection features a few different wooden bed frames that you can choose from, each crafted from real, UKTR-certified ash wood and designed to bring both style and substance to your bedroom.

If you’re looking for a more streamlined look and absolute simplicity, our Sherwood Solid Ash Bed is a great choice. Its clean lines and minimal profile make it a versatile option that can fit into almost any bedroom setting.

If you’d prefer a wooden bed frame with a little more presence, you should take our Ashdown Solid Ash Bed into consideration. With a more distinct design and a bolder headboard, it brings a greater sense of character whilst retaining the same quality of build that you’ll see across our entire collection of wooden beds.

Why Choose a Wooden Bed Frame?

Wooden bed frames are a popular choice among sleepers in the UK for many different reasons.

If you’re still undecided and considering buying one, here are a few reasons why you should:

Durability & Longevity

Wooden bed frames, especially those made from hardwoods such as ash and oak, are exceptionally durable and capable of withstanding years of daily use. Unlike bed frames made from MDF or other engineered materials, a solid hardwood frame can stand the test of time without warping, weakening, or losing its structural integrity. It’s a worthwhile investment for people who want to buy a quality bed frame that doesn’t need to be replaced every couple of years.

Style & Versatility

Despite their streamlined design, wooden bed frames are remarkably versatile. Whether you’re trying to achieve a warmer and more traditional feel in your bedroom or are after a clean and contemporary look, a quality wooden bed frame can work beautifully either way.

Sustainability

Unlike upholstered and other types of popular bed frames, wooden bed frames are made from far fewer materials. When made from responsibly sourced timber, they become one of the most environmentally conscious choices you can make. At Simba, every solid wood bed frame in our collection is crafted from UKTR-certified Ash wood, so you can shop with confidence knowing that your bed has been sourced and produced with sustainability in mind.

How to Choose the Right Wooden Bed

Not all wooden beds are made the same. To help you choose the right wooden bed, make sure that you take the following factors into consideration:

Room Size & Layout

One of the first and arguably most important factors you need to take into account is the overall size of your room and how your furniture is laid out within it. No matter how much you love a particular wood bed frame, if it doesn’t fit your space comfortably, it’s simply not going to be an option that you can go for. So, measure your room carefully before you start browsing. It'll make finding the right size wooden bed frame much easier.

Wood Type & Finish

The type of wood your bed is made from and the finish applied to it will have a significant impact on both the look of the frame and how it holds up over time. Solid hardwoods like ash are the gold standard for wooden beds, which is exactly what we’ve used for all our wooden bed frames here at Simba. As a result, they are sturdy, strong, and durable.

Mattress Compatibility

If you already have a mattress and are only looking to upgrade your bed, you need to make sure the wooden bed frame you’re interested in is compatible with your current mattress. In other words, if you’re currently using a king-size mattress, you should only be looking into king-size wooden beds (unless you’re happy to upgrade your mattress as well).

Caring for Your Wooden Bed Frame

Whether you buy an ash, walnut, or an oak bed frame, you’ll need to give it a little care and attention every now and then to keep it looking its best. The good news is that wooden bed frames are generally very low maintenance, and ours are no exception.

For day-to-day upkeep, all you’ll need is a clean, dry cloth to prevent any surface-level marks from forming and dust from accumulating. If you notice a stubborn mark that you can’t get rid of using your dry cloth, a lightly dampened one will do the job - just make sure you dry the area off thoroughly afterwards to prevent moisture from settling into the wood.

Beyond regular maintenance, if possible, try and position your bed in your room so that it’s away from direct sunlight and ideally, away from heat sources like radiators. Over time, direct sunlight can cause the finish to fade while the excessive heat exposure can dry out the wood and cause it to warp.

  • Are wooden beds better than upholstered beds?

    It really depends on what you’re looking for. If your goal is to create a timeless, durable, and relatively low-maintenance bedroom setup, one could argue that a wooden bed would be the better choice over an upholstered bed.

    Upholstered beds, on the other hand, tend to offer a softer and more cushioned feel, which some people prefer. So, if comfort and achieving a modern aesthetic within your bedroom are a priority, then an upholstered bed would be the more appropriate choice.

  • What is the strongest wood for a bed frame?

    When it comes to strength and durability, hardwoods such as oak, walnut, and ash are widely regarded as the best options for a bed frame. They’re dense and able to handle the stresses of daily use without warping or weakening over time.

    At Simba, all our wooden bed frames are made from real, UK Timber Regulated (UKTR) Ash wood. As a result, our wooden bed frames are naturally stronger, more durable, and longer-lasting compared to beds made of MDF or other lower-grade materials that can deteriorate more quickly over time.

  • Do wooden beds creak?

    Some wooden beds do creak, especially those made from lower-quality materials or in cases where the joints and fixings have loosened over time with general wear and tear. If you want a wooden bed frame that doesn’t creak and will stay that way for many years to come, you can’t go wrong with any of our wooden bed frames.

  • What sizes do Simba wooden beds come in?

    At Simba, our wooden beds are available in three different sizes. They include Double, King, and Super King. As far as the actual dimensions are concerned, they vary from model to model, so we’d always recommend checking the product page of the wooden bed frame you’re interested in before you buy.

  • How do I care for a wooden bed frame?

    The exact process that you need to follow when it comes to caring for and maintaining your wooden bed frame will depend on the type of wood your bed frame is made from. While we can’t speak for any other wooden bed frames, all Simba wooden bed frames are very easy to look after. Simply use a clean, soft, and dry cloth to wipe down the frame and keep dust and any surface-level marks at bay.

  • Can I use any mattress with a wooden bed frame?

    Yes, you can pair just about any mattress with a wooden bed frame. To ensure a perfect fit, just make sure that the mattress matches the size of your frame. For example, if you have a king-size mattress, you need to pair it with a king-size bed frame.
