The Nara bed base combines contemporary, mid-century modern ideals and Japanese design. A beautiful, geometric low bed base with a stylish silhouette; handmade to order in our full range of sustainable hardwoods. This version is available to order here with a headboard, you can also find it without a headboard.
Please see the tabs below for further information on this design, including dimensions, lead time and timber options etc.
Drawing from both mid-century modern design and minimal Japanese style, the Nara handmade contemporary bed cuts a geometric profile. With a slightly larger footprint than that of our popular Kyoto bed, the Nara still boasts a compact frame, but with a more modern look. The angular, straight legs and edges are a real statement, and draw the eye with their subtle, yet bold design.
It features a slimline headboard (see dimensions tab above for more info), and its softly rounded legs and edges also bring a hint of mid-century modernity to the overall look. You can also purchase this hand-crafted contemporary bed without a headboard.
The Nara is available in our full hardwood range. Unsure of which timber to pick? You can order your free timber samples here.
Every bed is made to order. Our lead-time is usually around 8 weeks (+ delivery). This can fluctuate throughout the year, please do get in touch for the most up to date information.
Lacquer Finish: Our ‘natural’ look lacquer finish, named for its clarity, allows you to appreciate the myriad colours and subtle variations in the tone of natural timber. It also retains a very subtle, soft sheen which protects the timber from grease marks and some stains.
All our wooden beds are fitted as standard with sprung beech slats for extra comfort, and to also help increase the life of your mattress.
Easy self assembly. Click here to see our simple self assembly instructions.

Mattress Depth Information: Due to its low headboard and minimal profile, the Nara is best suited for use with mattresses that are 20cm deep or less. It is pictured above with an approx. 19cm deep mattress.
If you have a much deeper mattress than this, we can customise the Nara slightly by adding a maximum of 5cm to the headboard panel. This customisation does incur an additional cost, which varies depending on the size and timber. If you wish to add this customisation to the headboard panel, please use the 'ask us more'Â tab above to request a quote before proceeding with an order.
For more information on custom orders, please read our Terms & Conditions.
Here you can see an example of the timber options that this bed is available in below. Please note, there will always be some natural variation and the swatches below are purely an indication of the usual grain and tone. For more photos and information on our range of woods, and to order free timber samples, please check out the Our Timbers page.
Please note: ‘Clear Pine’ is finished in our standard, natural-look lacquer. ‘Sanded Pine’ does not have any lacquer/finish at all. They do not look any different from one another, but the ‘sanded’ option does feel slightly rougher to the touch.
