Why choose a VAMA bed?

The wooden frame of our storage beds comes with a lifetime guarantee!

Bed base construction

Storage bed interiorAll our frames are made from carefully selected, high-quality woods for lasting strength. The interiors are finished with furniture-quality paint to make cleaning easier.

Without storage

The bed base is made entirely from 2 cm thick fir boards. The bed frame is 24 cm high, excluding the feet.

With storage

Materials for handcrafted storage bedsThe entire frame is made from 2 cm thick poplar plywood to support even heavy loads with ease.

The standard storage bed frame is 30 cm high, excluding the feet, with 24 cm of usable storage height.

Watch the video below, in which we jump inside the storage compartment to demonstrate the strength of a frame made with these woods.

The bed frame can be made to measure; contact us for a quote.

Slatted bed base

Slatted bed baseThe frame is made from 40 x 38 mm tubular ironand has no welded joints. It features safety corners made from high-strength nylon and fibreglass, with an epoxy powder coating for full corrosion protection.

The slats are made from 7 cm wide beech strips held in special polyethylene fittings. This plastic material prevents friction between the slats and frame from causing squeaks.

If none of these sizes suits your needs, we can make your slatted base to measure. Contact us for a no-obligation quote.

Storage bed opening mechanisms

All our mechanisms are made from galvanised iron to protect them from rust caused by seasonal changes in humidity.

Choose from 3 types of storage bed lift mechanism:

  • Standard opening: the slatted base lifts from the foot of the bed.
  • Side opening: the slatted base lifts from its long side, on the right or left.
  • Dual lift with horizontal raised position: combines standard opening with a horizontal position raised above the bed frame, making the bed easier to make and reducing strain on your back.

The bed opens with gas struts Made in Germany, a mark of reliability and durability.

Bed frame padding

Bed bases with flat and rounded padding

The outside of the wooden frame is padded with foam and finished with synthetic velour. Choose from two padding styles, which differ in appearance and affect the overall dimensions of your bed.

To calculate the overall bed dimensions , add the extra width and length of your chosen padding and the headboard thickness to the slatted base dimensions.

  • Flat padding: +8 cm
  • Rounded padding: +12 cm
