Handmade Bed Frames: Benefits Of Choosing Craftsmanship Over Mass-Production

By Jonathan Barradell 28 September 2023

In a time of mass production and disposable furniture, there's something truly special about investing in a handmade wooden bed frame. At Get Laid Beds, we are dedicated to crafting beautiful wood bed frames and understand the value of craftsmanship. 

Our commitment to creating high quality, customizable, and eco-friendly beds has set us apart in the industry. There are numerous benefits of choosing handmade wood bed frames over the mass produced alternative.

We live and breathe the process of creating handmade wood beds, but we appreciate that some may turn to a seemingly cheaper option. Here’s a look at why choosing a handmade wooden bed over mass-production is an investment well worth making. 

What Are The Benefits Of Handmade Wood Bed Frames?

Handmade wood bed frames, such as those created by Get Laid Beds, offer a range of benefits that make them the ideal choice for those seeking quality, craftsmanship, and unique design. Here are some of the key advantages:

Unparalleled Quality

When you choose a handmade bed frame, you're investing in quality that surpasses what you'd find in the mass produced alternatives. Our skilled artisans at Get Laid Beds hand craft each bed frame to perfection. They take pride in their work, using premium materials to ensure your bed frame stands the test of time. The attention to detail in every joint, every curve, and every finish is evident in the final product.

Longevity and Durability

Handmade bed frames are built to last. The craftsmanship that goes into creating these pieces ensures they can withstand the test of time. While mass-produced furniture may require frequent replacements due to wear and tear, a well-made handmade bed frame can last for generations, making it a wise investment in the long run.



Sustainability

At Get Laid Beds, we prioritise eco friendliness in our production process to ensure we’re making eco friendly beds. We aim to use wood from sustainable forests wherever possible. In addition to this, we have our tree planting project. Through our partnership with the International Tree Foundation we have planted over 90,000 trees.


Customization Options

Mass produced beds often limit your choices to a few standard designs, finishes and size. But with our handmade bed collection, the possibilities are virtually endless. 

At Get Laid Beds, we offer 17 different finishes, allowing you to choose a bed that perfectly complements your bedroom décor. One of our offerings is the warm and inviting honey finish. This light wood is the perfect choice for those looking to infuse a touch of brightness into their bedroom decor. If you are looking for a darker option, we have our coffee bean finish. This rich, dark hue adds depth and sophistication to your bedroom, creating an atmosphere of luxury and comfort.

In addition to color choices, we provide custom sizing options. We can change the width  and length, ensuring your bed fits your room precisely, regardless of its dimensions.

Negatives Of Choosing Mass Produced Beds

Choosing mass-produced beds may come with several drawbacks and negatives that potential buyers should be aware of. Here are some of the disadvantages associated with mass-produced beds that you won’t encounter when opting for a handmade wooden bed.

Lower Quality Materials

Mass-produced beds are often made with lower-quality materials to keep production costs down. This can result in a shorter lifespan for the bed, as the materials may not withstand wear and tear as well as higher-quality alternatives.

Lack of Durability

Due to the focus on cost-efficiency, mass-produced beds may not be as durable as their handmade counterparts. They may have weaker joints, thinner frames, and less sturdy construction, leading to a higher likelihood of damage or breakage.

Limited Customisation

Mass-produced beds usually offer limited customization options. Buyers may have to settle for standard designs, colours, and sizes, making it challenging to find a bed that perfectly suits their preferences and bedroom decor.

Cookie-Cutter Design

Many mass-produced beds share similar designs, making them appear generic and lacking in uniqueness. This can result in a bedroom that lacks individuality and character.

Environmental Impact

Mass production often involves the use of unsustainable materials and practices. This can contribute to deforestation, pollution, and other negative environmental effects.
