The eastern coastal forests of the USA and Canada are the source of our maple timber.Maple is a very pale, blonde wood with a smooth grain and a contemporary appearance. Over time it can deepen to a richer, more golden shade. As with any wood, there are variations in grain and tone: part of the beauty of a natural product.
If you are looking to match your maple bed with current furniture we are happy to send you a sample. Please request one by email or phone. Do note that wood samples should be taken as indicative of the wood and finish. It is not possible to guarantee an exact colour match. If you are ordering a number of items from us for the same room we would always recommend that you order them together for the best colour match (e.g. a maple bed and bedside tables together). Our makers will ensure they match each other well, and any ageing changes in colour will coincide.
Our full range of hand made bed designs are available in solid Maple. Want to see more of the Maple timber?Click here If you would like to take a look at more images of our beds in maple and interiors using maple wood or check our our blog post.
Natural Bed Company wooden beds only use timber from sustainable sources and never use endangered tropical hardwoods. All our timber is from a legally certified source and purchased under EUTR (European Union Timber Regulation). Our pine is from Scandinavia and our hardwoods – ash, oak, maple, cherry, walnut and beech are from the USA or northern Europe. Buying timber from managed forests ensures that new trees are planted and the cycle of planting, growth and harvest can continue. We think it is important that the amazing natural resource of timber should be used to make furniture that will last.
Unless otherwise specified, our beds are finished in a durable Natural look (low sheen) lacquer. This provides an easy to care for and durable finish that doesn’t compromise the natural beauty of the wood grain.
Solid woods may expand and shrink slightly with differences in temperature and humidity. Take care not place your furniture next to radiators or anywhere subject to any excessive changes in temperature or moisture content. If you are using our bedside tables – we recommend that any beverages should be placed on mats and spillages should be wiped up immediately to prevent marking.
To clean the wood finish, wipe with a slightly damp cloth and immediately buff with a dry cloth. Silicone based polishes should not be used on the wood too often as they build up and leave a sticky residue on the surface.
