Note that the Katherine (low-rise or mid-rise) is the only recommended bed base for our HIGHLY CHEMICALLY SENSITIVE customers.
SLATS on all beds are glued, however the Katherine low-rise or mid-rise is the only style of bed with no glue used, and for a minimal extra charge, can have screwed slats (so no glue used at all!).
Footnote: Minimal PVA glue is used on all our bases and furniture; it is sandwiched between timbers, dries rockhard within 10 - 20 minutes after application and does not outgas.
Our Katherine Bed base is a plain slat base that’s as easy as pie to assemble. The three slat panels sit snugly between the solid bars. Available in three different heights.
- Low Rise 16cm – for this option we use 90 x 32mm solid timbers for the base. Under Bed Clearance 70mm Maximum.
- Mid Rise 26cm – made with 140 x 32mm solid interlocking timbers. Under Bed Clearance 120mm Maximum.
- High Rise 36cm – made with 140 x 32mm solid interlocking timbers. For this option, 100mm legs are added to the 140mm cross bars. Under Bed Clearance 220mm Maximum.
This base is NOT suitable for trundles or drawers underneath.
MADE TO ORDER in Organatures’ workshop using Australian hardwood. Using timber without chemical fumigation.
- 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.
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: Livos.
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.
ASSEMBLY: Please refer to: Assembly Instructions here. We can also adjust the height of your bed base by supplying leg extensions – please refer to the document Leg extension information to find out more!
OTHER STYLES TO CHOOSE FROM: Many other styles, heights and sizes available. See Beds Bunks Trundles.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT TIMBER FURNITURE
Most conventional wooden furniture in Australia is not only made using toxic glues and finishes, but also must be fumigated before it can enter the country. Almost all timber furniture, cots, cradles, chests, bunks and beds sold in Australia are imported (or made from imported timber).
Organature® Hardwood Furniture is proudly MADE IN AUSTRALIA where we can guarantee the purity of the manufacturing process from start to finish. Locally sourced and sustainable Australian hardwood with NO Harmful chemicals, NO MDF, NO Chipboard, NO Chemical Paint and NO Toxic Glues are used during any part of the manufacturing process.
Assembly references (if required) are added by hand using a non-toxic permanent marker. These markers do not outgas when dry and are the safest option available
