Modesto Mission Slat Bed

No, the Modesto Mission Slat Bed is designed as a platform bed, meaning the sturdy slat system provides sufficient support for your mattress on its own. You can place your mattress directly onto the frame.

The bed arrives in pieces to ensure safe transit and requires assembly. You will need to attach the side rails to the headboard and footboard and then install the slat system, which typically requires basic household tools and a second person to assist with positioning.

It is highly recommended to order the under-bed storage drawers at the same time as the bed. Because the drawers are custom-built to match the wood species and finish of your specific frame, adding them later may result in slight variations in color or grain matching.

Solid wood is durable and long-lasting, but it is a natural material that reacts to humidity and temperature changes. To maintain the finish, avoid placing the bed in direct, prolonged sunlight or near heat sources, and simply dust with a soft, dry cloth.

The wood species significantly impacts both the grain pattern and the final color depth. For example, cherry wood will darken and develop a rich patina over time, while oak offers a more prominent, textured grain that holds stains very distinctly.
