Overview
A low-profile fabric bed base, in the widest size range we sell
The Ark Bed Base is a fabric-upholstered, headboard-free bed base built on a wooden internal frame with a straight wooden slat platform — no box spring needed. It's the widest size run of any bed product in our store, from Single right through to King, in Dark Grey or Black, so it's an easy fit whatever room you're furnishing.
Fabric-upholstered, low-profile base
A woven fabric wrap over a wooden frame gives the Ark a soft, tailored look with a lower, more minimal profile than a traditional bed frame.
The widest size range we stock
Single, King Single, Double, Queen and King — five sizes in one range, more than any other bed product in our store.
Wooden frame & slat base
Straight wooden slats sit on a wooden internal frame, taking a standard mattress directly — no box spring or extra foundation required.
Pairs with any headboard — or none
The Ark has no headboard of its own, so it sits flush against the wall on its own, or pairs with a wall-mounted or floor-standing headboard of your choice.
Works with your mattress
Will it fit your mattress?
A bed base is only right with the right mattress. Here's what's included, what to buy, and how the slat base supports it — the details most bed listings leave out.
Mattress not included
Sold as the frame only. Choose your size, then pair a standard Australian mattress of the same size. See mattress options →
Buy the matching size
Each frame fits a standard AU mattress of the same name — a Queen frame takes a 153 × 203 cm Queen mattress. The full size chart is in Dimensions.
Slat base, no box spring
The wooden slat base with centre support bar holds the mattress directly — no box spring or extra foundation needed. Works with foam, hybrid and spring mattresses.
Slat base & mattress support
Slat base included — suited to spring mattresses, and supports most foam and hybrid mattresses too. If you're matching a specific foam or hybrid mattress, check the slat spacing with our team before ordering, since some foam-mattress warranties require gaps under ~7.5 cm.

DimensionsWill it fit your room?
| Fits mattress (selected size) | 92 × 187 cm |
|---|---|
| Base footprint (L × W) | 187 × 92 cm |
| Overall base height | 30 cm |
| Cartons (boxed, selected size) | 185×44×20 cm |
Total height = base height + your mattress depth. There's no headboard or footboard height to add — the Ark is a base only. Ships flat-packed. A screwdriver is needed (electric drill recommended); two people recommended. Measurements are taken by hand and can vary slightly between shipments.
📦Ships flat-packed
Cartons clear a standard ~80 cm doorway even when the assembled piece is large. Still worth measuring for the bigger sizes.
🧭Room clearance
Allow 60–75 cm around the piece to move comfortably; remember the frame footprint runs a few cm larger than the mattress.
📐Total height
Total height = base + your mattress, so a tall base plus a deep mattress can sit high — worth checking for getting in and out.
🚙Pickup vehicle
For free Rocklea pickup, a flat-pack fits most cars, but an assembled or oversized item needs a van, ute or trailer.

Care instructions
Vacuum regularly
Run a soft-brush vacuum attachment over the woven fabric base weekly to lift dust and lint before it settles into the weave.
Tackle spills early
Blot spills with a clean dry cloth, working from the outside of the mark towards the centre. The sooner you catch it, the easier the fabric releases the stain.
Keep out of direct sun
Sustained UV can fade the woven fabric and dry the internal timber frame. Place the base away from direct afternoon sunlight where possible.
Tighten bolts quarterly
Like all flat-packed bases, the bolts can work slightly loose over months of use. A quick quarterly check and tighten keeps the base feeling solid.
