Four Poster Beds
Wooden Four Poster Bed Frames Built for Everyday Use
A four poster bed should provide more than an impressive appearance. The strength of the frame depends on its materials, posts, rails and mattress-support system, which is why our range combines solid wood construction with substantial 9.5cm posts and a strong slatted base.
Each model supports up to 25 stone per user and is covered by a five-year guarantee. This makes the collection suitable for customers looking for the distinctive proportions of a four poster bed without compromising on dependable everyday support.

Compare our four poster bed frames
The Warsaw, Richmond and Regent share the same strong construction principles but offer different proportions and design details.
| Model | Design | Overall height | Best suited to |
|---|---|---|---|
| Warsaw | Traditional design with decorative turned posts | 207cm | Bedrooms requiring a more detailed, classic centrepiece |
| Richmond | Clean square-post design with a lower overall frame | 190cm | Contemporary rooms or spaces with less ceiling clearance |
| Regent | Chunky square-post design with a clean architectural profile | 207cm | Larger rooms where a taller, more prominent frame is preferred |
All three designs are available in sizes from single to super king, with four wood finish options. They also provide approximately 25cm of clearance beneath the side rails, allowing useful access to the space below the bed.
Customers considering other timber designs can also explore our strong wooden bed frames, including pine, oak and rubberwood options.
Choosing the right frame for your bedroom
Start by considering the overall height of the frame. The Richmond stands 190cm high, while the Warsaw and Regent are both 207cm. Measure from the floor to the ceiling and allow additional clearance above the posts, particularly where the room has sloping ceilings, exposed beams or low-hanging light fittings.
Style is the next consideration. The Warsaw provides the most traditional appearance through its turned corner posts. The Richmond offers a cleaner and slightly lower profile, while the Regent retains the simpler square-post shape at the taller 207cm height.
Whether you are drawn to a traditional or modern wooden style, our four poster bed buying guide explains the materials, construction and support features worth comparing before choosing a frame.
The frame can be left uncovered to emphasise its wooden structure or dressed with lightweight fabric to create a softer canopy effect. Any fabric should be positioned securely and kept away from lights and other heat sources.
A statement bed with dependable support
Available in traditional and contemporary designs, our solid wood four poster beds combine a prominent bedroom centrepiece with the strength expected from Reinforced Beds. Compare the frame height, post design, size and finish of each model to choose the option that best suits your room.
