This low profile platform bed is designed to keep the bed height to an absolute minimum, while also keeping the mattress supported off the floor and allowing adequate airflow. The very low platform bed functions wonderfully in a finished attic space or other room with low ceilings, or any space where a low modern bed frame is desirable.
Like our other beds, we designed it with strong joinery and a clean simple appearance. We designed this frame to come apart easily and move without a lot of fuss. Once assembled though, it becomes clear that this is a piece that is here to stay. To accomplish this, we utilize high-quality bed bolts for the 4 points where rails meet head or footboards. These bolts lock the mortise and tenon in place with incredible strength, yet allow for easy disassembly when it’s time to move it. Beds that don’t use bolts can loosen up over time, leading to a permanently wobbly bed. This system of fastening stays perfectly tight and will serve you well for many years to come.
Our bed is built with robust poplar slats that nest into pocketed solid maple rails. Beds larger than twin are constructed with a solid maple mid beam to prevent sagging. The bed is designed for use without a foundation or box spring.
All of our items are made to order from FSC-Certified Wood.
On our furniture pieces, we use 2 different eco-friendly finishes, depending on wood species. On darker woods that benefit from a slightly amber tone we use a zero-VOC oil-wax finish (Rubio Monocoat). On lighter color woods where a non-yellowing finish is preferable, we use a low-VOC waterborne urethane finish.

Matthew and Kelly are talented craftspeople. They custom designed, created and shipped an ultra low profile platform bed frame for my attic space. Throughout the process they showed great flexibility, creativity and attention to detail — making sure it met the design challenges of the space as well as my personal aesthetics. Great work…and a great team!

So happy with my ultra ultra low custom platform bed (and my little Pom is thrilled too). Such an amazing and pleasant experience from design through delivery. Thank you so much Kelly and Matt! Your passion and craftsmanship truly shows.

Great design and quality, very easy to assemble

Perfectly made! Beautiful, solid construction, and, if you can believe it, far easier to assemble than anything from IKEA.

Despite being a minimalist bed frame, this is an intricately engineered work of art. It is really eye-catching, with or without a mattress! I’m a skinny woman, and I alone assembled it in an hour, and part of that time was just the unpacking — it was packed very well! Once assembled, it is rock-solid and designed to stay that way. Because this is my first slat bed, I had somewhat of an anxiety attack (after purchase) about the frame’s appropriateness for the futon mattress I purchased. Kelly assured me that this frame would support the futon perfectly well, and it does, better than expected — a very comfortable pairing. I chose a custom clear-laquer finish, which is beautiful, and really enhances the frame’s wood. This is a lasting and memorable purchase, and many thanks to Kelly and Matthew for making it so!
