The Orbital is a low-profile solid oak platform bed frame with hand-turned round legs, made to order in our London atelier. Available in Double, Queen, King, California King, Emperor, Wyoming King, and Alaskan King.
A modern minimalist bed in the Japandi tradition — the long horizontal lines of Japanese architecture married to the warmth and grain of European white oak. Four hand-turned solid oak ball legs replace the conventional plinth or rectangular leg, lifting the entire frame off the floor and turning the geometry of the bed into its own quiet sculpture. The aesthetic sits comfortably alongside Scandinavian, wabi-sabi, and modernist bedroom interiors.
Solid Oak Construction — No MDF
Every component is built from solid European white oak: the four round ball legs, the bed frame rails, and the structural core of the headboard. No MDF, no particle board, no printed laminate anywhere in the build — the same oak specification used in heritage architecture and fine cabinetry. Mortise-and-tenon joinery throughout, secured with heavy-duty bed-bolt hardware. Zero squeaks, zero shifting, zero cam locks.
Low Profile Platform Bed — No Box Spring Required
The platform sits 10 inches off the floor. Combined with a 38-inch low-profile headboard, the Orbital creates the horizontal, grounded silhouette that defines Japandi, Scandinavian, and modernist bedroom design. The integrated European beech slat system (18–20mm) supports any standard mattress directly — no box spring required, no additional foundation needed. With a 12–14" mattress, the sleeping surface sits at a comfortable 22–24" from the floor.
Six-Inch Under-Bed Clearance — Robot Vacuum Compatible
Unlike plinth or storage platform beds, the open-frame construction of the Orbital sits on four ball legs with approximately six inches of ground clearance. Flooring runs continuously beneath the frame. Most slim modern robot vacuums — Roomba, Roborock, Eufy, Dyson — pass underneath without modification. A small detail that matters in a primary bedroom you actually clean.
Five Solid Oak Finishes
Each Orbital bed is finished with three coats of hand-applied matte lacquer on solid oak. Choose from:
- Natural Oak — the palest and warmest, lets the grain dominate
- Light Oak — bleached, Scandinavian, reads almost white in morning light
- Walnut Oak — mid-tone, the most versatile against linen, wool, or boucle
- Rosewood — deep red-brown, anchors a room with cooler walls
- Black Oak — ebonized, gallery-toned, sets off art and metal hardware
Each finish is hand-sanded between coats and sealed to develop a subtle patina over decades — a living surface that ages rather than yellows or cracks.

Hulmara
Clean with dry cloth
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
Engineered for stability, so every panel stays crisp, flat and true 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. Natural wood character with stain-proof protection.
Solid Oak Frame. No Shortcuts.
A solid European oak frame, real wood surfaces and precision joinery. What you see is what you get.
Inside the Workshop
Five to six weeks at the bench, from raw timber to your approval video.
01 Timber Selection Week 1
Every bed begins with a single board. European oak is chosen for grain consistency, density, and character. Boards that fall short are set aside before a single cut is made.
02 Milling & Joinery Weeks 1–2
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 Shaping & Detailing Weeks 2–3
Panels, edges and signature details are shaped to the design of your piece. Corners are softened by hand and every surface is sanded through four grits.
04 Hand Finishing Weeks 3–5
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 Weeks 5–6
Your completed bed is photographed and filmed before packing, and sent to you for approval. A verified record of your exact piece.

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 built on a solid European oak frame 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.
Eight to twelve weeks 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-to-three-month wait for a piece built to last decades 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 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?
It's real. Every Hulmara bed is designed in London and made to order by hand: the joints are milled and test-fitted, the surfaces hand-sanded between lacquer coats, and each piece is signed off before it leaves. We photograph and film your finished bed as proof.
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 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.
