Low Profile Bed Frame Made From Solid Wood

Low-profile bed frames are more popular than ever, thanks to their modernly minimalist look that won’t overwhelm smaller spaces. Furthermore, many shorter-than-average people, children, and pets will find that the reduced height can make it easier to climb into bed . Better still, low profile beds can offer some of the same benefits commonly associated with their taller counterparts, such as built-in storage and attention-grabbing headboards. 

Countryside Amish Furniture offers many low profile beds made from solid wood, available in many in-demand styles including Amish-made platform beds, sleigh bed frames, and solid wood panel beds. All our beds are meticulously handcrafted by authentic Amish furniture makers, offering you the flexibility to customize the frame in various ways. Furthermore, your order will be crafted using only the finest North American timber and joinery techniques, ensuring that your low-profile bed will withstand decades of use.

Visit our list of unique bed frames, and you’ll find the low-profile Oviedo Bed near the top, and for good reason. Our expert Amish craftspeople shape the solid wood legs to achieve optimal strength while maintaining a lithe silhouette and curved shape. Better still, this eye-catching style of legs echoes throughout the Oviedo Bedroom Set, from the low-profile bed to the bedside table to the dressers. The Oviedo Bed can only host a mattress, no box spring.

Is a Low-Profile Bed Frame Right For You?

A low-profile bed frame offers numerous advantages for modern bedrooms. By sitting closer to the ground, it contributes to the overall visual airiness of the space, especially if the room has lower ceilings. 

Additionally, shorter individuals may find low-profile beds easier to get in and out of, making them especially appropriately sized for children. However, it’s worth acknowledging that taller people may find higher profile beds easier to access. Ideally, you should be able to sit comfortably on the bed with your feet able to touch the ground without feeling "scrunched." When shopping, keep in mind that the addition of a mattress will add extra height.

FAQ About Solid Wood Low Profile Beds

Are some hardwoods better than others for low-profile beds?

What’s considered a reliable hardwood for low-profile beds also applies to all other types of frames. Generally speaking, hardwood is far better suited for low-profile bed frames than softwood species due to its exceptional durability that can stand up to the normal wear and tear of nightly use. Of course, the true quality of the low-profile bed’s solid wood shines when it is expertly handled by skilled craftsmen who refine each piece to maximize its beauty and durability.

For deeper reading, check out Good Wood Options for Bed Frames.

Can low-profile bed frames accommodate boxsprings?

Throughout our list, we highlight multiple low profile bed frames that can accommodate both mattresses and box springs, such as the Anacapa Panel Bed and Cove City Bed. The Countryside Amish Furniture team is ready to go the extra mile with custom modifications to our made-to-order designs. If the solid wood, low-profile bed you have in mind doesn’t currently support box springs, we can explore design adjustments to make it work for you.

What decor styles work best for low-profile bed frames?

Low-profile bed frames are versatile enough to fit with almost any decor style. However, their clean lines and minimalist undertones often pair especially well with traditional Mission and Shaker themes, as well as Mid-Century and contemporary looks.

Are there any disadvantages to low-profile beds?

As we discussed, taller individuals might find it challenging to get out of low-profile beds. However, that’s not the only reason one might not choose this particular option. While we do show examples of low-profile beds that incorporate built-in storage drawers, this frame design generally doesn’t enable under-bed storage. Moreover, the bed being lower to the ground may make it trickier to thoroughly clean underneath, and dust may accumulate quicker than if the bed was higher.
