Thuma’s repurposed wood bed frame is made with meticulous quality checks at every step of production. Their wood comes from rubber tree plantations, so it’s eco-friendly and minimizes transportation costs.
It has sturdy slats with small gaps that are suitable for foam mattresses and Japanese joinery that firmly locks together without screws. It is also very quiet and squeak-free, unlike cheap frames that can annoy you during sleep.
Simple Design
When you’re looking for a new bed frame, it’s important to consider all of your options. Aside from the style, size, and price point of a bed, you also need to think about how it will fit into your home. The bed you choose will influence your entire bedroom design, so it’s important to find the perfect one for you.
The Thuma bed features a simple design and sleek Japanese construction. It uses real wood (upcycled from rubber trees that would otherwise go to waste), Japanese joinery techniques, and padded slats. The result is a sturdy and quiet frame that won’t creak or squeak.
Another reason to consider the Thuma is that it’s easy to assemble. It comes in three boxes, and you can do it yourself without needing to hire a professional. The bed is designed to work with most foam mattresses, though Dr. Hansraj recommends pairing it with a firm mattress and a soft bed topper for optimal comfort.
The only complaint I’ve seen about the Thuma is that its headboard doesn’t attach to the frame. They call it a Pillowboard and it’s basically a big cushion that sits on top of the frame.
Eco-Friendly
Unlike mass-produced "Fast Furniture" from stores like Wayfair, which end up in landfills, Thuma's simple designs are built to last. Their beds use slats made of real wood, and they are Greenguard Gold certified to ensure that any chemicals used to make them don't release toxic fumes into your bedroom. Their wooden frame is also repurposed from rubber tree plantations, which means it uses trees that would otherwise have been discarded. Additionally, they source their trees geographically close to their factory, which minimizes transportation emissions. And for every bed sold, they partner with One Tree Planted to plant a new tree!
Although their frames are a bit more expensive than other simple platform beds, such as the Luella from Zinus, they have an airy feel that adds a touch of natural beauty to your room. Plus, their slats are strong enough to support up to 1,500 pounds so you don't have to worry about the bed collapsing under your weight.
Sturdy
Aside from being eco-friendly, this bed also has a lot going for it in terms of functionality. For example, it features a hidden storage drawer to help you keep things like books organized, and its integrated slat system eliminates the need for a box spring. It also has a nonslip base to keep your mattress in place.
The company also offers other furniture pieces to complete your bedroom, such as nightstands and side tables. However, its claim to fame is what’s simply called “The Bed.” The Bed boasts a minimalist design and is easy to build.
In fact, the company claims you can put the bed together in just minutes (I’ve done it myself and it took me about 20 minutes). The instructions are clear and easy to follow. The boxes are labeled and ones that contain no parts are marked “THIS BOX IS EMPTY.” The wood is sturdy and the fit is precise – no tools are necessary. Moreover, it has rounded corners to protect your shins and a pillow board that helps reduce noise.
Simple Assembly
If you’re tired of furniture assembly drama, the San Francisco-based company Thuma is here to rescue you. Their platform bed frame has gained popularity for how easy it is to set up, and it comes in a variety of sizes, including twin, full, queen, king, California king, and daybed. It also comes with a PillowBoard or headboard, which you can choose depending on your preferences.
The wood is repurposed from shipping pallets, and the frames are built using Japanese joinery techniques that create an interlocking system without needing to use screws or other tools. The wood has been Greenguard Gold certified to ensure it doesn’t contain any harmful chemicals, and the slats are cushioned to diminish the need for a box spring.
Thuma even offers a lifetime warranty. Assembly requires no tools and takes about 20 minutes. The boxes are clearly labeled, and the instructions provide clear diagrams and encouragement. Once the pieces are clicked together in Lincoln Logs style, the whole thing feels satisfying and fun, rather than frustrating. There are no squeaky parts, which is great news for sleepers who share their beds or toss and turn a lot.
Affordable
The bed frame is made from solid, sustainably sourced acacia wood and has slats spaced four inches apart to support your mattress without the need for a box spring. It comes in a variety of sizes and is easy to assemble. It also comes with a sturdy headboard that attaches easily to the frame.
It’s designed to be a minimalist solution that’s elegant on its own or embellished with pillows and sheets. Its rounded corners are meant to protect shins, and its padded slats are designed for noise reduction. Plus, it’s available in six colors and is backed by a three-year warranty.
The frame is priced at $995 and ships free to your door in three skinny boxes that are easier to carry up the stairs of an apartment building. This is a good option for anyone who wants a low, modern bed with a lot of storage underneath. It isn’t cheap, but it looks beautiful and feels sturdy. It’s also backed by a 50-night home trial and a three-year warranty.
