What's the difference between pine and birch wood as a bed material?

Pine is a slightly softer wood, and our pine beds are coated in beeswax. Birch is a heavier, stronger wood; from a visual perspective, it is lighter in color and you will see less of the wood grain. Our birch beds are coated in beeswax and left unpainted. Painted beds are made from pine wood and then painted with a water-based color.

We use local Baltic birch plywood crafted from layers of birch wood veneer that are bonded together with adhesive. Birch plywood is known for its strength and durability.

Our plywood has a light, uniform color, and smooth grain pattern.

Can I assemble and disassemble the bed multiple times?

Yes, you can assemble and disassemble our beds as many times as you need. We use metallic screw holes for precisely this purpose, and all necessary tools are included.

Why should I use slats or a box spring under my mattress?

Slats or a box spring create a stable and even foundation for your mattress. This support helps distribute your body weight more evenly, reducing stress on the mattress and preventing premature sagging or wear. They also provide space for mattress ventilation, which prolongs the life of your mattress and is especially important for those with allergies, in colder or variable climates, and high humidity.
