We’ve researched and tested numerous wooden bed frames — these are our top picks made from reclaimed and responsibly sourced materials.  

Wooden and platform bed frames are in and we’re here for it. Whether you’re sleeping, snuggling or…well, the other thing, wood bed frames can handle almost anything, while still staying true to a comfortable and cozy style. Plus, we love the aesthetic of natural wood surrounded by plants in our own bedrooms!

Why choose a wooden bed frame?

You might opt for a wooden bed frame for a number of reasons — aesthetic appeal, durability, and sustainability being at the top of the list. The natural beauty of a wooden frame for your bed offers timeless appeal and can easily complement the vibe of your room. (As well as being super warm and inviting!) High-quality wooden frames are also made to be sturdy and durable, especially when made from hardwoods, which speaks to their ability to stand the test of time. And many wooden bed frames are sourced from sustainably managed forests or reclaimed wood, which is better for our environment than bed frames made from non-renewable materials.

For your next sustainable wood bed frame, our editors have selected ten options using reclaimed and responsibly sourced materials. We’ve prioritized brands that offer payment instalment options, and feature handiwork from local artisans and woodworkers.

You may be familiar with Avocado’s extremely popular mattresses, so it’s no surprise the team’s changing the bed frame game, too. Our pick, the modern City Bed Frame, is such a standout, Avocado even has a patent on it! The city bed frame is easy to assemble without any tools, and every piece glides together seamlessly, including the elegant optional headboard. It is quite heavy, so we recommend getting help putting it all together, although we were able to set up a king size unassisted (phew!). You can see our editor’s full review of the Avocado bed frame and mattress here. The certified B Corp offers a line of GREENGUARD certified wood bed frames that have been handcrafted locally in California, and they’re delivered via climate-neutral shipping and with a 10-year warranty. It’s safe to say this bed frame is well worth the investment—and it’ll last a lifetime.
