We used to buy a ton of throw-away furniture. The lesson we've learned? Invest in well-designed, well-made, quality pieces that will last you years. Your future self will thank you.
A bed should be one of these pieces. Finding one that ticks all the boxes is time-consuming, and those reviews make for terrible bedtime reading. It should be the right size, height, color, fit and design. It has to be sturdy, and built with high-quality materials that last - if you want to have it for years.
Our editors have done a lot of research into the best beds out there and have uncovered a lot of beds that seem good but are pretty much just clones of each other. Recently, a new, innovative bed came on the market that intrigued us, The Bed, by Thuma. Its minimalist design instantly caught our eye. And once we heard about its Japanese-inspired craftsmanship and 5-minute assembly, we had to try it out. Plus, it comes in four stains: Natural, Walnut, Espresso, and Grey.
We expected The Bed, by Thuma, to be much the same as the other beds we've had in the past, but we were so wrong. After using it for the last two months, it is now #1 on our bed-to-buy list. Here are 5 reasons why.
1. Timeless Design
Nothing is more annoying than your outdated bed frame clashing with your room’s decor. Nothing to worry about with The Bed, by Thuma. The classic design features clean lines, subtle curves, and plenty of space for under-bed storage. The PillowBoard adds the finishing touch with interchangeable and washable covers. You can also easily upgrade to The Headboard. The Bed will complement any aesthetic - it's evident that so much time went into its design. And with a lifetime warranty, you’ll enjoy The Bed’s timeless style for years to come.
2. Quality Materials
Thuma uses upcycled, repurposed rubberwood for their collection of bedroom essentials. The wood has been sourced from trees that have reached the end of their 30-year latex-producing life cycles and would otherwise be discarded. Crafted from real, solid wood, The Bed is built to last a lifetime. If you've only ever had a flimsy, creaky bed, you will immediately feel and love the difference. Choose from four premium stains – Walnut, Natural, Espresso, or Grey – to suit your bedroom's vibe.
3. Simple Assembly
If you've ever self-assembled any pieces at home - the indecipherable instructions and sorting through the hardware scattered about your carpet - then you will seriously appreciate The Bed. One person can assemble it in just 5-ish minutes. With the Japanese joinery, each bar locks into the adjacent bar at the leg - no tools needed!
Then the slats simply lock into place. When it's time to move, disassembly is just as easy. And it's delivered in three separate boxes –no pivoting an oversized box up a staircase or through a tight doorway.
4. Environmentally friendly
The Bed is composed of upcycled rubberwood and other mindfully selected materials. It’s packaged using recycled cardboard, without any styrofoam. Many of Thuma's pieces are also GREENGUARD Gold certified, meaning materials used in the construction have undergone extremely thorough testing for chemicals, including off-gassing VOCs, formaldehydes, and all aldehydes. Plus, Thuma partners with One Tree Planted to plant a tree for every bed sold.
5. Silent & Supportive
The Bed wins on sturdiness for sure. It will withhold any and all bedroom activities. But the best part is no more awful creaky noises! The Japanese joinery and cushion-coated slats ensure not just durability, but also sound reduction. So, no noise as you snuggle down into your favorite sleeping position and drift off to sleep.
If you are in the market for a new bed and value simplicity, minimalist design, and convenience, The Bed, by Thuma is for you. With a lifetime guarantee, it will be the last bed you ever have to buy. The perfect investment piece that really pays off!
