Vermont Furniture Designs Kipling Platform Bed

No, you do not. This bed is designed with solid wood slats that provide full support for your mattress, eliminating the need for a box spring or foundation.

The Kipling Platform Bed is built using traditional mortise and tenon joinery. This technique is prized for its strength and longevity, ensuring the frame remains stable and squeak-free over time.

There is 8 inches of clearance beneath the bed frame, which provides enough space for low-profile storage bins or easy cleaning with a vacuum.

Yes. The bed is finished with a hand-rubbed oil and wax, which is a low-VOC option that helps maintain healthier indoor air quality compared to heavy lacquers or synthetic varnishes.

You can select from three high-quality solid hardwoods: Cherry, Maple, or Walnut. Each species offers distinct grain patterns and color variations that will age beautifully over time.

The bed requires assembly, but it is straightforward. Because it uses precise joinery, the components are designed to fit together cleanly, though we recommend having a second person on hand to help position the larger headboard and side rail pieces.
