Bedroom storage is usually the last thing a room can spare and the first thing it runs out of. The Cambridge Gas Lift Bed Frame is built around that reality: a whisper-quiet gas lift mechanism turns the entire bed base into a storage cavity that holds far more than any pair of footboard drawers can manage, while a bookshelf headboard adds four open display compartments at eye level. Finished in soft whitewashed eucalyptus with the timber grain showing through. Available in Queen and King sizes. Part of the coordinated 4-piece Cambridge range — matching Bedside Table, Tallboy, and Dresser with Mirror (Tallboy coming soon).

Gas Lift Storage + Bookshelf Headboard

Two distinct storage zones in one bed. The gas lift base lifts the entire mattress platform on a hinge mechanism — one-handed operation, whisper-quiet hydraulic spring — revealing a full-footprint storage cavity beneath. Spare bedding, suitcases, off-season clothing, the things that get shoved into wardrobes or under sofas all live here instead. Up top, the headboard carries four open display cubbies for books, an alarm clock, framed photos, or a glass of water at the bedside.

Built Around Storage

Whisper-Quiet Gas Lift

Hydraulic gas spring lifts the mattress platform one-handed. The full-base cavity holds far more than any pair of footboard pull-out drawers can match.

Bookshelf Headboard with 4 Cubbies

Four open display compartments at eye level — books, candles, alarm clock, framed photos, bedside essentials — an effective alternative to bulky bedside tables.

Whitewashed Eucalyptus Finish

Soft pale-grey timber tone with the natural grain still visible through the whitewash — brightens dim bedrooms and pairs naturally with linen, neutrals, and warm timber floors.

Clean Flat Footboard

Single flat panel footboard counterbalances the detailed headboard — minimalist silhouette keeps the overall bed looking composed, not chaotic, despite the feature density up top.

Inside the Build

The Cambridge uses solid eucalyptus hardwood for the structural frame and load-bearing elements, paired with eucalyptus veneer over engineered timber for the wide panel surfaces (headboard, footboard, base sides). Eucalyptus is a denser, harder hardwood than the rubber wood commonly used in this category — it carries the gas lift mechanism’s weight stress reliably over time. The veneer-over-engineered-timber approach across the wide panels means dimensional stability in humid Queensland conditions, where solid timber panels can warp and gap over years of use.

Care Notes

Dust Weekly with a Soft Cloth

Wipe the headboard, footboard, and base panels regularly. Pay attention inside the cubby compartments where dust can settle on displayed items.

Damp, Never Wet

Dry spills immediately with a soft cloth. The whitewashed finish is forgiving but standing water can lift the protective coating over time.

Lift Smoothly, Hold the Mattress

Use the gas lift handle steadily — don’t force it past the stop point. When closing, 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. Avoid loading the cavity to the brim with heavy items — spread the weight evenly.

Need to Know
What sizes is the Cambridge available in?

Queen and King only. Single, King Single, and Double are not available. No mattress included.

How does the gas lift storage work?

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.

How does eucalyptus compare to rubber wood?

Eucalyptus is denser and harder than rubber wood, the timber most commonly used in this furniture category. The added density matters here: the gas lift mechanism puts more stress on the frame than a standard bed base, so the structure has to bear repeated lift cycles plus the stored weight. Eucalyptus also takes the whitewash finish beautifully with the natural grain still visible through it.

What can I actually store in there?

The cavity covers the full bed footprint, so both sizes give you genuine storage volume. Good fits: spare doonas and pillows, soft-sided suitcases, off-season clothing in storage bags, blankets, towels, gift wrapping supplies. Avoid anything sharp that could damage the underside of the mattress, or anything heavy enough to stress the lift mechanism (rated for mattress weight plus reasonable storage, not your weights set).

What other pieces are in the Cambridge range?

The Cambridge Bedside Table and Cambridge Dresser with Mirror are available now, all in the same whitewashed eucalyptus finish. The Cambridge Tallboy is part of the range and coming soon — ask our showroom team for availability if you want to coordinate the full 4-piece set.
