Know before you buy
The Cambridge Double Bow Bed utilizes traditional mortise and tenon joinery, which is highly regarded for its strength and durability. Additionally, the mattress slats are dovetailed directly into the side rails to provide a secure and stable foundation.
The bed is designed with slats that sit 11 inches off the floor, providing a sturdy base for your mattress. While you can use a box spring if you prefer a higher profile, the frame is engineered to support a mattress directly.
Yes, center support legs are included with the Queen, King, and California King sizes to ensure the frame remains stable and prevents sagging under the weight of larger mattresses.
The bed offers 9 inches of clearance from the floor to the bottom of the side rails, providing ample space for low-profile storage bins. You can also opt for the manufacturer's integrated under-bed storage solution for a more seamless look.
Each wood species offers a unique grain pattern and hardness. Oak and Quartersawn White Oak provide a prominent, textured grain, while Cherry, Maple, and Brown Maple offer a smoother, more uniform appearance that takes stains very consistently.
The headboard stands 48 inches tall, while the footboard measures 38 inches in height. These proportions are designed to maintain a traditional aesthetic while ensuring the bed remains a focal point in your bedroom.
