Vermont Furniture Designs Bennington Bed

No, the Bennington Bed is designed as a platform bed with a robust system of solid poplar slats. You can place your mattress directly onto the slat system, which provides consistent support without the need for a box spring or foundation.

The bed is designed for straightforward assembly. It utilizes a steel quick-latch system that connects the side rails to the headboard and footboard, allowing you to set up the frame efficiently without complex tools.

The bed offers 12.5 inches of clearance from the floor to the bottom of the side rails. This provides ample space for low-profile storage bins or keeping the area beneath the bed open for a cleaner, airy aesthetic.

The natural oil and wax finish is designed to age gracefully and highlight the wood's grain. To maintain it, simply dust with a soft, dry cloth and occasionally apply a high-quality furniture wax or oil specifically formulated for natural wood finishes to keep the surface nourished.

Yes, the high footboard is designed to accommodate standard mattress thicknesses. However, if you use an exceptionally thick mattress topper, it may sit slightly higher than the footboard, so we recommend checking your total mattress height if you prefer the mattress to sit flush below the footboard line.

This bed features traditional mortise and tenon joinery. This time-honored technique creates a mechanical lock between the wood pieces, ensuring the frame remains stable and squeak-free for years to come.
