The Design
With a market flooded with options, what sets Thuma apart from other platform frames?
The Base
Affectionately known as “The Bed,” this platform frame is based on the idea that simplistic 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 underbed 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.
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 make Thuma stand out from the crowd while being incredibly easy to put together. The joints of this frame slot together to form a sturdy, noise-free structure with only two hand-tightened screws 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.
