The Fluted is a solid oak platform bed with an oversized wraparound reeded headboard, hand-fluted plinth base, and adjustable slat height. Made to order in our atelier. Available in Double, Queen, King, California King, Emperor, Wyoming King, and Alaskan King.
The wraparound fluted headboard is the architectural moment in this piece — extending well beyond the bed itself, curving softly at the ends, and reaching 48 inches in height. Each vertical flute is precision-routed from solid oak, sanded through four grits, and hand-finished. The effect at scale is unmistakable: a bed that operates as a room within the room.
Hand-Reeded Solid Oak Headboard — 48 Inches Tall
Fluted (or reeded) detailing is one of the most labor-intensive surface treatments in fine furniture making. Each flute on a Hulmara Fluted headboard is milled individually from solid European oak, then hand-sanded so the ridges catch light at varying angles throughout the day. Unlike pressed or printed fluting on MDF and laminate alternatives, every line you see is structural — cut from real timber, sealed with a hand-applied matte lacquer that develops a subtle patina over decades. The headboard stands 48" tall and extends as a continuous wraparound panel, creating a soft visual enclosure around the bed and any nightstands placed against it.
Solid Wood Plinth Base — No MDF
The plinth base is built from solid oak and finished with the same vertical fluting as the headboard, so the design reads as a single architectural object rather than two separate components. No MDF, no particle board, no veneer over hollow core. Mortise-and-tenon joinery throughout, secured with heavy-duty bed-bolt hardware. The interior of the plinth houses the adjustable slat system.
Adjustable Slat Height — 4" Low or 11" High
The integrated European beech slat system supports two installation heights:
- Low setting at 4" from the floor — for buyers using a thicker mattress (12–14") who want a low, contemporary sleeping height around 25" total
- High setting at 11" from the floor — for buyers using a thinner mattress with a box spring, or who prefer a more traditional 27" sleeping height
No box spring is required at either setting. Standard mattresses can be placed directly on the slats. The frame also accommodates an adjustable base in the low setting — please refer to clearance dimensions below.
Designed for Modern Luxury Bedrooms
The Fluted is at home in the registers most often described as modern luxury, transitional, and contemporary designer. It pairs naturally with:
- Pale boucle, linen, or cashmere bedding in oat, cream, or sand
- Brushed brass, antique brass, or matte nickel hardware
- Plaster, limewash, or Roman clay wall finishes
- Wide-plank oak, herringbone parquet, or wool sisal flooring
- Stone or marble accent surfaces in pale tones
In photographed interiors, the Fluted holds its own against fireplaces, large-scale art, and double-height ceilings — which is precisely the room it was designed for.

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.
