The Solstice is an arched upholstered bed with a 64-inch monumental headboard, solid oak frame and ball feet, and 100% organic wool upholstery. Available in 20 wool colors and 11 oak finishes — 220 possible configurations — made to order in our atelier. Sizes from Double through Alaskan King.
The Signature: A 64-Inch Arched Headboard
Most upholstered beds stop at 48 inches. The Solstice rises to 64 inches (162 cm) — the height of a six-foot adult standing beside the bed. At this scale the headboard stops being a bed component and becomes architecture: a soft, sunrise-shaped wall that defines the room's vertical axis and removes the need for any artwork above the bed. The arch reads from across the room. It anchors the entire suite.
Two design details make the monumental scale practical:
- Split-arch construction — the headboard is built as two vertical quarter-circle panels that lock together during assembly. This is engineered so the bed fits through standard apartment elevators, narrow stairwells, and city doorways despite the 64-inch installed height.
- Acoustic dampening — in modern homes with hardwood floors, plaster walls, and glass surfaces, sound bounces sharply. The 8 square feet of wool surface on the Solstice headboard absorbs ambient sound around the bed, producing the soft, hushed acoustic associated with five-star hotel suites.
220 Configurations — 20 Wool Colors × 11 Oak Finishes
The Solstice is the most customisable piece in the catalogue. Where most upholstered beds offer three or four upholstery options, the Solstice lets you choose from a wool palette of twenty named colors and an oak finish library of eleven hand-applied tones — including three new trending finishes for the 2026 collection.
The 20 Wool Colors:
The wool used on the Solstice is 100% organic — heavyweight, tightly woven, sound-absorbing, and rated Martindale 40,000+ for commercial-grade durability. Choose from:
- Neutrals — Natural Ivory, Oatmeal, Warm Greige, Silver Birch, Pebble, Storm, Mushroom, Graphite, Onyx
- Greens — Sage, Olive, Forest
- Blues — Dusty Blue, Midnight
- Warm tones — Camel, Honey, Rust, Terracotta, Dark Chocolate
- Pink — Dusty Rose
Each wool is a separate yarn dye lot, not a printed finish. The color runs through the fiber, not on the surface — meaning it does not fade, rub off, or change tone with use.
The 11 Oak Finishes:
The solid oak rim and ball feet are finished in your choice of eleven hand-applied matte lacquers, applied to solid European white oak with an open-pore finish that protects without obscuring the grain.
House Collection (8 signature tones):
- Light Oak — pale honey blonde, near-natural finish
- Natural Oak — warm amber with golden undertone
- Moccacino Coffee — espresso brown with warm cocoa depth
- Walnut — deep chocolate with chestnut highlights
- Black — inked oak, grain remains visible
- White — limed white-wash, soft Nordic finish
- Rosewood — burgundy-red with dramatic figured grain
- Cherry Wood — sun-baked terracotta with russet warmth
New for 2026 (3 trending tones):
- Smoked Oak — fumed grey-brown, dark wood revival
- Cognac Oak — rich amber-cognac, the headline tone of the 2026 collection
- Tobacco — warm caramel-brown, deeply layered
Custom colour matching is available on request — sample blocks of any finish can be supplied to trade clients.

- Graphite wool with Black frame — gallery-toned, sets off art and brass hardware

Built Different, Built Forever
Here's what separates a Hulmara bed from mass-market furniture.
Master-Grade White Oak
From responsibly managed forests. Each piece is hand-selected for its grain character, density, and structural integrity.
Anti-Warp Engineering
Solid-core construction with high-density birch plywood cores and thick hand-selected oak veneers. Stays perfectly straight for decades.
Silent Joinery
Heavy-duty bed-bolt hardware and traditional mortise-and-tenon joints. 30–40mm thick rails — zero squeaks, zero vibration.
Orthopedic Beech Slats
Premium European Beech slats (18–20mm) for superior strength, natural spring, and optimal airflow for your mattress.
Hand-Sanded 2K Finish
Every bed is hand-sanded and sealed with a diamond-tough 2K performance lacquer. Raw oak beauty with stain-proof protection.
No MDF. No Shortcuts.
Zero particle board anywhere in the build. Solid timber meets precision high-end engineering — what you see is what you get.
Thirty Days of Craft
From raw timber to your bedroom — what happens in between.
01 Timber Selection Day 1–2
Every bed begins with a single board. Our master selects European white oak for grain consistency, density, and character — rejecting roughly 40% of timber before a cut is made.
02 Milling & Joinery Day 3–12
Mortise-and-tenon joints are cut by hand and machine in sequence. No cam locks, no dowels, no shortcuts. Each joint is test-fitted dry before final assembly.
03 Fluting & Shaping Day 12–18
The signature reeded panels are milled from solid oak veneer — each flute precisely routed to catch light at varying angles. Rounded corners are shaped and sanded through four grits.
04 Hand Finishing Day 18–25
Three coats of low-VOC matte lacquer, hand-sanded between each layer. The finish is designed to develop a subtle patina over decades — a living surface, not a sealed one.
05 Inspection & Documentation Day 25–30
Your completed bed is photographed and filmed in our workshop — a verified record of its condition before packing. This archive protects both you and the integrity of our work.
A $2950 Bed That Costs Less
Than the Alternative
Furniture that lasts isn't expensive. Furniture you replace every four years is.
Solid oak · 25-year lifespan
Total: $2950
MDF · cam locks · 3–5 year life
Total: $5625

We'd Rather You Ask Now
Than wonder later.
I've seen beds that look identical for a fifth of the price.
What you've seen is printed MDF with a photograph of oak laminated onto a hollow-core panel, held together with cam locks designed to last three to five years. A Hulmara bed is solid European white oak — the same timber specification used in heritage restoration — with mortise-and-tenon joinery engineered to last decades. The material cost alone exceeds the retail price of most flat-pack alternatives. These are fundamentally different products that happen to share a silhouette.
Sixty days is too long. I need a bed now.
Your bed doesn't exist yet — and that's the point. We don't hold inventory because every piece is built to your exact specifications after you order. This is how bespoke furniture has always been made: Savile Row suits, custom kitchens, fine cabinetry. The alternative is warehouse stock in limited sizes and finishes, with the compromises that entails. If you're furnishing a primary bedroom, a two-month wait for a twenty-five-year piece is a very good trade.
How do I trust quality on a purchase I can't see in person?
Three safeguards. First, we ship complimentary wood and finish samples to your door — you'll feel the weight and grain before you commit. Second, every completed bed is professionally photographed and filmed in our workshop before packing; you'll see your exact piece, not a stock image. Third, standard collection pieces carry a thirty-day return window. We assume the risk because we know what arrives will exceed your expectations.
Is 'handmade' real, or is that marketing language?
Every Hulmara bed is built in our workshop by the same artisan from timber selection through final finishing. Handmade means one craftsman selects your oak, mills the joints, hand-sands between lacquer coats, and signs off on the completed piece. We photograph and film the process as proof. This isn't a factory line with a handmade label — it's a workshop.
What if the colour doesn't match my room in person?
Our product photography is colour-calibrated to be as accurate as possible, but we always recommend ordering a free finish sample first — it takes five to seven days. For bespoke finishes, we can colour-match to a photo or physical sample you provide. If a standard collection piece doesn't work in your space, you have thirty days to return it.
Why should I choose you over a well-known luxury furniture brand?
Large luxury retailers deliver excellent product within a business model that funds global showroom networks, designer licensing, and retail staff — their margins reflect that overhead. Hulmara delivers the same material grade and construction standard direct from our workshop to your door, without the markup that pays for marble lobbies and high-street leases. The oak is the same. The joinery is the same. The price difference is real estate and retail theatre.
I'm an interior designer. Do you offer trade pricing?
Our Trade Programme offers preferential pricing, dedicated account management, priority production slots, and COM (Customer's Own Material) coordination for upholstered pieces. Many of our clients come through the design trade. Apply at hulmara.com/trade-accounts or reach out directly to discuss your project.
