Hardwood Bed Base – Canterbury – AUSTRALIAN MADE 100% Organic

The classically stylish Canterbury timber bed base is based on our popular Mansfield bed, but without the headboard.

The platform sits level with the double layered 140 x 32 mm solid timber frame giving it a unique style. Legs are recessed to avoid stubbing toes. The base of the mattress is level with the frame providing easier bed making, no hands getting jammed between mattress and frame.

Heights: The bed is available in a standard 30 cm platform giving a 6 cm clearance from the base of the bed to the floor, as well as a 35cm or 40cm platform.

IMPORTANT: We suggest you do not expose the bed-head to direct sunlight or heat for long periods.

PLEASE NOTE: Natural Timber is a hygroscopic material, in that it absorbs and expels water from its surrounding environment. This process is known as thermal expansion and can cause warping, swelling and potentially shrinkage, as a hardy natural substance. Generally trees have evolved to be resistant to this and can typically take temperature changes within their stride. Although all our timber is kiln dried, and therefore has gone through most of this process, it can still naturally occur. It is due to these natural occurrences, that we do not use any glue, including our non toxic glue, on these products to allow for the further contraction and expansion of the timber.

The timbers are not glued together in our Daylesford and Mansfield headboards, so that the timbers do not crack under the pressure of this natural movement. Small gaps may therefore appear between the timbers, as the timber contracts. This is unavoidable in Natural timber without chemical processes. Being a 100% natural timber, it will have knots, lines grains and irregularities. This is the nature of timber. Although we try to match timbers as closely as possible, we cannot guarantee these irregularities will not show up.

ASSEMBLY: Our beds are not made for mattresses to sit inside a lip, so when constructing ensure the side frames of the bed are used with the small space facing up towards the ceiling. For assembly instructions please refer to: Bed Assembly Instructions Barossa Daylesford Mansfield Daintree Hawthorn Kingston Apollo Airley Windsor and Trundles

MADE TO ORDER in Organatures’ workshop using Australian hardwood without chemical fumigation.

ORGANIC FINISHES: Choose raw and sanded, or with natural plant and mineral based oil. We source our oils from Livos who have a range of other colours, you may choose to purchase raw and sanded and apply the oils yourself, here is a link to the Livos website.

PLEASE NOTE: Our slat panels on the base of the bed are supplied raw and sanded. The slats are not generally seen once bed linen has been added. We believe it’s better to leave the slats themselves natural and reduce the risk of the oil being transferred onto your organic mattress.

• Bed Bases are supplied flat packed.
• Bolts and keys supplied for easy assembly.
• Minimal glue used, dries rock hard so NO out-gassing.
• Suitable for innerspring or futon.

I purchased a King size Mansfield bed frame, sheets and mattress protection from Organature. I am so happy with our beautiful bed and the level of service I received from the company. Michael went above and beyond to assist me, returning at a later date when I got stumped putting it together. I was impressed by his thoughtful and kind manner and thoroughness. This is a bed for life. Thank you again!
