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 several different heights.
- Low Rise 160 mm – for this option we use 90 x 32 mm solid timbers for the base. Under Bed Clearance 70 mm Maximum.
- Mid Rise 260 mm – made with 140 x 32 mm solid interlocking timbers. Under Bed Clearance 120 mm Maximum.
- High Rise 360 mm – made with 140 x 32 mm solid interlocking timbers. For this option, 100 mm legs are added to the 140 mm cross bars. Under Bed Clearance 220 mm Maximum.
