Frequently Asked Questions
What materials are used in the Lakewood Platform Bed?
The Lakewood is a natural bed crafted in Ukraine from high-quality beech wood, offering both durability and a beautiful, sustainable design. This eco-friendly material ensures your bed is sturdy and built to last.
Is this bed available with additional storage options?
Yes, the Lakewood Platform Bed is available with matching under-bed storage drawers, nightstands, and bedroom chests. These pieces help you optimize your bedroom’s storage while maintaining a cohesive, natural aesthetic.
Can the Lakewood bed be used with a futon mattress?
Yes, the Lakewood bed can accommodate any conventional mattress, but for a more eco-friendly option, we recommend pairing it with a cotton mattress or a cotton and wool futon mattress. The solid beech wood slat system provides ideal support for a futon mattress, offering both comfort and durability.
What type of mattress is recommended for this bed?
The Lakewood Platform Bed is sold as a frame only. We recommend pairing it with a 6 or 8-inch natural futon mattress, which works perfectly for platform beds. A queen or full-size futon mattress made with lambswool is a great option, as it regulates body temperature and acts as a natural fire retardant—free from toxic chemicals commonly found in standard mattresses.
Can I use a tatami mat with this bed?
Yes, the Lakewood Platform Bed is perfect for use with a tatami mat or a coir pad, adding a traditional Japanese touch to your bedroom. The slat foundation ensures that the mat stays secure while providing additional support for a futon mattress.
Is the Lakewood Platform Bed eco-friendly?
Yes, the Lakewood bed is part of our Eco-friendly Platform Beds collection, which focuses on sustainability and the use of natural materials. The beech wood used in this bed is responsibly sourced, and we recommend pairing it with eco-friendly mattresses, such as those made with natural cotton and wool.
