The Design

With a market flooded with options, what sets Thuma apart from other minimalist bed frames?

The Base

Affectionately known as “The Bed,” this platform frame is based on the idea that simple designs can also be elegant and refined.

A Stylish Space-Saving Solution

Need a place to put your extra suitcase or yoga mat? Don’t want to clutter up your closet or just throw everything in a corner? Try sliding everything underneath The Bed. Why? Because with up to 9″ of under bed clearance, you’ll have enough room to slide a few items underneath a Thuma—all without sacrificing closet space or your room’s aesthetics.

Support You Can Count On

In this life, there are a few things you can count on, like taxes and the stability of The Bed from Thuma. With a weight capacity of 1,500 lbs, this frame is as functional as it is sturdy.

Eco-Friendly Has Never Looked So Good

This frame is handcrafted from repurposed wood, making it a great choice for the environmentally conscious. Even better, the sourced trees are geographically close to Thuma’s factories. This closeness means The Bed’s wood travels less distance to be processed, reducing Thuma’s overall carbon footprint.

Two Color Options

The Thuma is available in two colors, walnut, and natural. By giving you a choice of finish they are allowing you to match your bedroom aesthetic. We prefer the darker, walnut finish paired with the dark charcoal headboard but that’s just our opinion.

The Headboard

A 35″-tall headboard, or PillowBoard, is included with every Thuma. Available in two colors – dark charcoal or light linen – this headboard is filled with plush foam that’s encased in soft polyester. All in all, it can provide an aesthetically pleasing backdrop to your bed while also giving you a comfortable place to rest.

The Edges

Stubbing your shins against the harsh edge of your bed is annoying. You can say goodbye to this annoyance when you bring home a Thuma, though. Why? Because its edges are rounded, to minimize pain upon accidental impact.

The edges of this bed frame are also home to the minimalist Japanese joinery that both allows Thuma stand out from the crowd and makes it incredibly easy to put together.

How simple? The joints of this frame slot together to form a sturdy, noise-free structure. In fact, only two hand-tightened screws are used in the entire frame.

Easy Assembly

Ease of assembly is just another reason to love this product. Specifically, this frame doesn’t require you to grab a screwdriver and bucket of bolts. Instead, The Bed’s pieces are meant to easily slide together without the use of metal screws or nails by using Japanese joinery craftsmanship.

The result? A practically seamless design. If you enjoyed playing with Lincoln Logs as a kid, you’ll probably enjoy the set-up for this frame.

Eco-friendly Packaging

Each Thuma bed arrives in three recycled cardboard boxes, expertly packed to void the need for eco-unfriendly protective packaging materials like Styrofoam.
