Wood is the oldest and one of the most commonly used engineering and building materials in the world. The earliest evidence for a domestic structure in Britain was that of a tent-like structure made with wooden supports dating to 7000 BC! Waren Evans love working with wood, here are just some of the
reasons why we believe investing in a well made wooden bed is a good idea.
1. STYLE Wooden beds are stylistically versatile, looking chic and sophisticated in a modern, contemporary, traditional or country setting. And with wood you can choose from many different stains and finishes - to either complement and blend with your bedroom decor or to create a magical stand-out centre-piece that has the ‘wow’ factor.
2. SLEEP A great bed has two essential ingredients - a strong, attractive frame and a supportive, comfortable mattress. The wooden slats are 3/4in thick and 5 1/2ins wide. These wooden slats strengthen the frame and help air circulate so your mattress can breathe better. Improved breathability lets moisture dry out, so your mattress lasts longer. A drier environment also discourages dust mites, helping to alleviate allergies. All this means you will experience a better night’s sleep.
3. STRENGTH Wood is a wonderful renewable material to work with, it’s naturally tough and strong and toxic free so perfect for making beds with. Warren Evans use traditional, long lasting mortise and tenon joints, and FSCUK sustainably sourced wood and their thoughtful design and quality craftsmanship means they can give all of their wooden beds a 10-year guarantee.
4. LONGEVITY Wooden beds can literally last a lifetime, especially if they are made well. Wooden finishes
work well with many interior styles but if you fancy a change you can always sand, re-stain or paint your wooden bed. Whether you’re upcycling or refurbishing, a wooden bed can develop as your tastes and decor change.
5. PRACTICAL Wooden beds are extremely easy to clean – just wipe any dirt or dust away with a damp cloth. As the surface is protected with a lacquered finish they tend to take knocks and scrapes well – and there’s no major dilemmas when moving home or room as wooden beds can be taken apart with relative ease. And at Warren Evans they can customize your wooden bed – their craftsmen can make the bed a little wider or longer or taller.
6. COST Wood doesn’t require a lot of energy for its production so its costs are low compared with other, man made materials. Warren Evans have a greater advantage as they make, sell and deliver all of thir own wooden beds, so there’s no middle-men pushing costs up. So do you need any more reason to invest in a beautiful wooden bed – we think not!
