Francis Bed Base

Materials

Underneath its upholstery, Francis’ frame is made from tulipwood (a high-quality hardwood that’s incredibly strong) and with proper joinery. Its legs on the other hand are made from solid oak with a slightly darkened finish called Vintage Oak.

The bed base

Francis’ sides sit snugly underneath the mattress to conceal the timber slats beneath and so it asks for a little less room. It also means you’re not as likely to bump your shins when walking around it in the dark.

The slats

Beech is used to make the slats on each of our beds because it’s flexible and reliable. They’re sprung, which means they curve upwards to provide a little extra bounce underneath the mattress. They’re held in place with discreet, cream-coloured clips. Beds larger than a single have an extra support in the centre too.

Design detail

Francis’ neatness is helped along by how the fabric’s folded and stitched to meet perfectly at each edge. Its legs are straight and tapered – an elegant look, suited to any style of bedside furniture. Hidden at its back are discreet bolts that hold your chosen headboard in place.

Just so you know

The textiles in our fabric library range from pure linen to rich velvet and wool, and each one has its own character. Tone and texture can vary slightly from thread to thread, and expect to see the occasional slub in our linens and pile movement in our velvets. We’ve written an article about the
