The Cannon Gas Lift Bed Frame is built around full under-bed storage — the entire mattress base lifts up on dual gas struts to reveal a substantial sectioned storage compartment beneath, useful for spare bedding, off-season clothing, or anything that needs to be kept close but out of sight. Finished in a deep Mendozza Oak stain across vertical reeded panels that wrap the headboard, footboard, and side rails, with an upholstered fabric insert centring the headboard for a softer point of contact when sitting up to read. Available in Queen and King sizes, with matching pieces in the wider Cannon range.

Full Under-Bed Gas Lift Storage

The Cannon’s defining feature is its storage capacity. Dual gas struts run between the slat base and the timber box base, lifting the mattress and slats together when you raise the bed by the foot end. The compartment beneath is sectioned internally with vertical timber dividers — useful for keeping different categories of items organised rather than piled together. Gas lift mechanisms are designed to be operated by one person; the struts take the weight of the mattress and slats so the lift stays smooth from closed to fully open.

More Reasons to Choose the Cannon

Vertical Reeded Timber Detail

Vertical reeding wraps the entire bed — headboard surround, footboard, and side rails — in the same continuous fluted profile. Adds texture and shadow play that flat timber surfaces don’t deliver.

Padded Headboard Insert

A soft-touch upholstered fabric panel centres the headboard, framed by the reeded timber surround. Comfortable to lean against while sitting up in bed to read or watch TV.

Part of the 4-Piece Cannon Range

The Cannon is the bed in a four-piece coordinated range — matching Bedside Table, Tallboy, and Dresser with Mirror all available separately, each carrying the same reeded timber detailing.

About the Construction

The Cannon uses a deliberate combination of materials. The structural elements — including the side rails and main frame — are solid timber. The decorative panels — the vertical reeded headboard surround, the footboard, and the side panels of the storage box — are MDF (medium density fibreboard) with a rubber wood veneer that matches the solid timber components in colour and grain. The headboard centres on an upholstered fabric insert over a padded backing.

This hybrid approach is intentional. Fully solid timber on wide flat panels (a tall reeded headboard, a substantial storage-box footboard) is heavier, more expensive, and prone to warping over time as the wood expands and contracts. MDF with veneer stays flat and stable across large surfaces, while the rubber wood veneer keeps the visual finish consistent with the solid timber side rails. The whole frame is stained in the same Mendozza Oak so the materials read as one continuous piece.

Care Instructions

Dust the Reeded Grooves Weekly

Use a soft dry cloth or a soft brush across the vertical reeded panels. Dust collects in the reed grooves faster than on flat timber — a quick weekly pass keeps the texture reading cleanly.

Vacuum the Padded Headboard Insert

Run a soft-brush vacuum attachment across the upholstered headboard panel weekly. Blot any spills with a clean dry cloth immediately, working outside in — don’t rub.

Damp, Never Wet on the Timber

For spills on the timber surfaces, use a barely-damp cloth and dry the area immediately. Standing water can damage the veneer finish and dull the Mendozza Oak stain over time.

Operate the Gas Lift Smoothly

Always lift from the designated foot-end handle and let the gas struts do the work — don’t force the base up or slam it down. The struts are designed for years of regular use when operated as intended.

Recommended Care Products

For the upholstered headboard insert:

✓ Guardsman Fabric Protector Spray-on protection against everyday spills and stains ✓ Guardsman Fabric Care Kit For routine cleaning and stain removal
Pair With a Mattress

The Cannon is sold as a frame only. Match the bed size, then choose a mattress that suits your sleep preference — the team can help in any showroom. Note: heavier mattresses sit better on gas lift bases than very lightweight options, since the struts are calibrated to take the weight of a standard mattress.

Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes is the Cannon Gas Lift Bed Frame available in?

The Cannon is available in Queen and King sizes. Single, King Single, and Double sizes are not available for this bed. The bed takes a standard mattress of the matching size.

How does the gas lift storage work, and how much can it hold?

The gas lift mechanism uses dual gas struts mounted between the slat base and the timber storage box. To access storage, you lift from the designated foot-end handle — the gas struts take the weight of the mattress and slats so the lift stays smooth from closed to fully open. The under-bed compartment runs the full footprint of the bed and is divided internally by vertical timber dividers, useful for keeping different categories of stored items organised rather than piled together. Useful for spare bedding, off-season clothing, suitcases, or anything else you’d rather keep out of the wardrobe. The mechanism is designed for one-person operation under normal use.

Is the Cannon full solid timber, or does it have MDF/veneer parts?

The Cannon uses a hybrid construction. The structural elements (side rails and main frame) are solid timber. The decorative panels (the vertical reeded headboard surround, the footboard, and the storage-box panels) are MDF with a rubber wood veneer that matches the solid timber in colour and grain. This is a deliberate choice — MDF + veneer stays flatter and more stable than solid timber across wide flat panels, while the side rails and frame benefit from solid timber’s structural strength. The whole frame is stained in the same Mendozza Oak so the materials read as one continuous piece. If the construction split matters for your purchase, the showroom team can walk you through which sections are which on the floor model.

What’s the padded headboard insert?

The headboard combines two materials: a reeded timber surround running around the outer edge, and a soft-touch upholstered fabric panel centring the headboard. The fabric insert is over a padded backing — comfortable to lean against when sitting up in bed to read or watch TV, where the bare timber surround would otherwise be the only surface to lean on. The combination keeps the timber detailing as the headline visual while adding the comfort of an upholstered panel where it’s actually useful.

What other pieces are in the Cannon range?

The Cannon range includes four coordinated pieces, all sold separately: the Cannon Gas Lift Bed Frame (this page), the Cannon Bedside Table, the Cannon Tallboy, and the Cannon Dresser with Mirror. Each piece carries the same vertical reeded timber detailing and Mendozza Oak finish, so the bedroom reads as one coordinated range when used together.

Does the bed come with a mattress, and are slats included?

The Cannon is sold as a frame only — no mattress is included. Straight wooden slats are built into the gas lift mechanism (mounted to the metal lift frame), so you don’t need an ensemble base or a separate slat set; place your mattress directly on the slats. Note that gas lift bases work best with mattresses of standard weight — very lightweight mattresses can affect how the struts behave, so the heavier Pocket Spring, Latex, or hybrid options pair particularly well with the Cannon.

Can I see the Cannon in a showroom before buying?

Yes — the Cannon is on display across our five SE QLD showrooms: Rocklea (flagship), Sandgate, Bundall (Gold Coast), North Ipswich, and Beenleigh. Floor models and current stock may vary, so we recommend calling ahead if you’d like to see the gas lift mechanism operate in person before ordering, or compare the full 4-piece range together.

Cannon Gas Lift Bed Frame — Full Product Details

Gas lift beds answer a different storage problem than drawer beds do. Drawer beds give you 2–4 small compartments for everyday-access items; gas lift beds give you the full footprint of the bed for bulk storage of things you access seasonally. The Cannon takes this further than most by sectioning the internal compartment with vertical timber dividers — you don’t end up with one large cavity where everything piles together, but rather organised sections that keep spare bedding separate from off-season clothing, suitcases separate from sleeping bags. For Queensland bedrooms where wardrobe space is tight or where built-in robes are limited, the difference is meaningful.

The visual design is built around vertical reeded detailing. The reeded panels wrap the entire bed — the headboard surround, the footboard, the side rails, and the storage-box panels — in the same continuous fluted profile. Combined with the Mendozza Oak finish and the soft-touch upholstered fabric insert centring the headboard, the result is a bed that reads as substantial and contemporary without veering into either fully traditional timber or fully upholstered velvet territory. The mixed-material approach (timber on the surround, fabric in the centre) gives you a comfortable surface to lean against when sitting up in bed without sacrificing the timber detailing as the headline visual.

The Cannon is part of a four-piece coordinated range. Beyond the bed itself, the matching Cannon Bedside Table, Cannon Tallboy, and Cannon Dresser with Mirror all carry the same reeded timber detailing and Mendozza Oak finish, sold separately. Available in Queen and King sizes only; a mattress isn’t included. See the Cannon in person at any of our five SE QLD showrooms — Rocklea (flagship), Sandgate, Bundall (Gold Coast), North Ipswich, and Beenleigh — where you can operate the gas lift mechanism yourself and see how the sectioned storage works before ordering.
