Overview
Storage under the whole mattress — not just a footboard drawer
The Cambridge is built around a whisper-quiet hydraulic gas lift mechanism that lifts the entire mattress platform on a hinge, revealing a full-footprint storage cavity underneath — far more capacity than any pair of footboard pull-out drawers. Up top, a bookshelf headboard adds four open display cubbies for books, an alarm clock or framed photos. Finished in soft whitewashed eucalyptus with the timber grain showing through. Available in Queen and King.
Whisper-quiet gas lift
Hydraulic gas spring lifts the mattress platform one-handed. Full-base cavity holds far more than footboard drawers.
Bookshelf headboard, 4 cubbies
Four open display compartments at eye level — books, alarm clock, framed photos, bedside essentials.
Whitewashed eucalyptus finish
Soft pale-grey timber tone with the natural grain still visible through the whitewash.
Clean flat footboard
Single flat panel counterbalances the detailed headboard for a composed silhouette.
Works with your mattress
Will it fit your mattress?
A bed frame is only right with the right mattress. Here's what's included, what to buy, and how the slatted gas-lift platform 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.

Exact frame footprint, headboard height and carton (box) dimensions for the Cambridge were not available at the time this page was published. Please call our showroom team on 07 3161 5415 or visit in person to confirm precise measurements before you buy — we'll never guess a number on this page. It ships flat-packed and does require assembly; a screwdriver is needed (electric drill recommended) and two people are recommended, as the gas-lift mechanism is heavier than a standard bed base.
↔️Drawer at the foot
Keep clear floor at the foot of the bed for the drawer; the castors need a clear path, so lift any rugs out of the way.
📦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.
🚙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
Dust weekly with a soft cloth
Wipe the headboard, footboard and base panels regularly. Pay attention inside the cubby compartments where dust can settle.
Damp, never wet
Dry spills immediately with a soft cloth. Standing water can lift the whitewashed finish over time.
Lift smoothly, hold the mattress
Use the gas lift handle steadily — don't force it past the stop point. Lower with a controlled hand rather than letting it drop.
Don't overpack the cavity
The gas lift mechanism is rated for the mattress weight plus reasonable storage. Spread weight evenly, avoid loading it to the brim.

FAQ
Common questions
Queen and King only. Single, King Single, and Double are not available. No mattress included.
The mattress sits on a slatted platform hinged at the head end. A hydraulic gas spring (similar to the mechanism on a car boot or office chair) takes the weight, so you can lift the entire platform with one hand. The full bed footprint underneath becomes accessible storage — much greater capacity than footboard pull-out drawers. To close, lower the platform with a controlled hand rather than dropping it.
Exact frame footprint, headboard height and carton sizes weren't confirmed on our spec sheet at the time this page was published. Please call our showroom team on 07 3161 5415 or visit in person before you buy if precise measurements matter for your room or access route.
The Cambridge is sold as a frame only — no mattress included. Straight wooden slats are included on the gas-lift platform, so no separate slat set or ensemble base is needed. Browse our mattress range to pair with it.
The Cambridge Bedside Table and Cambridge Dresser with Mirror are available now, in the same whitewashed eucalyptus finish. A Cambridge Tallboy is part of the range and coming soon — ask our showroom team for availability.
Yes — the Cambridge is on display across our five SE QLD showrooms: Rocklea, Virginia, Beenleigh, Bundall (Gold Coast) and North Ipswich. Floor models and current stock can vary, so we recommend calling ahead if you'd like to try the gas lift mechanism in person.
Full detailsCambridge Gas Lift Bed Frame — full product details
The Cambridge Gas Lift Bed Frame turns the whole bed base into storage. A whisper-quiet hydraulic gas spring lifts the entire mattress platform on a hinge, revealing a full-footprint cavity beneath — spare bedding, suitcases, off-season clothing and more, all out of sight, with far greater capacity than footboard pull-out drawers. Up top, a bookshelf headboard adds four open display cubbies for books, an alarm clock or framed photos, doubling as a bedside table replacement.
Construction pairs solid eucalyptus hardwood for the structural frame with eucalyptus veneer over engineered timber for the wide panel surfaces, finished in a soft whitewashed tone that lets the natural grain show through. Eucalyptus is a denser, harder hardwood than the rubber wood commonly used in this category — a meaningful difference here, since the gas lift mechanism puts more stress on the frame than a standard bed base.
It's available in Queen and King, and part of the coordinated Cambridge range: the matching Cambridge Bedside Table and Cambridge Dresser with Mirror are available now, with a Cambridge Tallboy coming soon. The bed is flat-packed for delivery and does require assembly, with two people recommended for handling the gas-lift base. Browse more storage beds and bed frames, or visit one of our five South-East Queensland showrooms in Rocklea, Virginia, Beenleigh, Bundall and North Ipswich to try the gas lift mechanism in person.
