Overview

A softly upholstered bed with a cushioned headboard

The French Bed Frame pairs a cushioned black microfiber headboard with a solid wooden frame, wooden middle support bar and wooden legs. It's a platform bed — slat base, no box spring — available in Queen and King, built for a bedroom that wants a softer, more tailored look than an all-timber frame.

Cushioned microfiber headboard

A padded black microfiber headboard is included as standard, giving the French a softer profile against the wall than a bare timber bedhead.

Solid wooden frame & legs

A wooden frame carries the mattress base, with matching wooden legs underneath for a stable, grounded stance.

Straight slats + wooden middle support

Straight wooden slats take a standard mattress directly, with a wooden middle support bar for extra stability — no box spring needed.

Matching bedside table available

Pair the French with the matching French Bedside Table in the same Wotan Black finish, sold separately.

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 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.

Will it fit your room?

Queen & King · footprints, heights & carton sizes
Queen — fits 153 × 203 cm mattress
Fits mattress (selected size)153 × 203 cm
Frame footprint (L × W)210 × 160 cm

Footboard height41 cm
Cartons (boxed, selected size)2 boxes — 165×125×5 & 210×50×10 cm

Total height = slat height + your mattress depth. Ships flat-packed in 2 boxes. 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 the headboard regularly

Run a soft-brush vacuum attachment over the cushioned headboard weekly to lift dust and lint before it settles into the microfiber.

💧

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 microfiber releases the stain.

☀️

Keep out of direct sun

Sustained UV can fade the black microfiber and dry the timber frame. Place the bed away from direct afternoon sunlight where possible.

🛠️

Tighten bolts quarterly

Like all flat-packed beds, the bolts can work slightly loose over months of use. A quick quarterly check and tighten keeps the frame feeling solid.
