Straight Headboard
Building upon our Simple Platform Bed Frame, our beds with headboards are available with many options. We build each bed to order. The design is easily scaled; we can adjust the measurements to suit your needs for: underbed clearance, sit height, and size and shape of legs and headboard. We like to know your mattress thickness (+ box spring, if using) to be sure the sit height is comfortable and headboard placement works well. Price depends upon bed size and wood. Ambrosia maple, curly maple and regular cherry are generally less expensive, while white oak, curly cherry and walnut are more, with curly walnut and quarter-sawn white oak at the top. Lumber availability, prices and lead time fluctuate. Click on the pictures below to enlarge.

Customization
Because each bed is made to order, it's very easy for us to make your bed differently. This bed is meant for just a mattress but can be adjusted for use with a box spring. We can mount the platform structure lower or higher to accommodate different thicknesses of mattress. We can raise or lower the whole bed. The legs can be tapered upon request. Some mattresses require closer spacing of slats or even a solid surface, please check and let us know if we need to change something. We can mix woods in various ways, make a larger footboard, add underbed drawers, etc. Please inquire for more photos and pricing on anything else.
