The UK has always been in love with its pine furniture and who can blame them. This hard wearing wood is to be found in one form or another in most households, whether it be a table or wardrobe. So with this in mind we will focus, in this article on single pine beds available in the UK. I quick search on google will reveal a large range of single pine bed frame suppliers but for reliability of service, and good competitive prices, I have chosen a selection from amazon.co.uk.

Benefits of a single pine bed

Although actually a soft wood, pine is strong and durable while remaining fairly lightweight compared to, say oak. Choose the right quality bed and you will have a piece of furniture to last you a very long time. Furthermore pine single bed frames are now available in a large range of styles to suit all kinds of interior design needs. Shaker style, farmhouse style, sleigh beds or contemporary modern bed designs can all be found in pine, and you have a lot of choice in the finish from a plain untreated  pale pine to a fully varnished dark pine look. I believe the popularity for pine furniture is due to this versatility which allows the homeowner to integrate wooden beds into almost any interior design scheme.

Considerations

While most single pine bed frames will be similar in quality when it comes to the wood itself there are still a couple of price considerations. Firstly be sure you are buying a solid pine single bed rather than something with a pine effect. This issue is unlikely to arise but can crop up with very cheap painted beds. Secondly and more importantly you will want to check out the quality of the slats and the way the bed is secured at its joints. If a bed seems unusually cheap this maybe were the problem lies. The longevity of your bed will be badly effected if the slats are too thin or the joints are weak, don’t fall into the trap of picking the cheapest frame unless you are certain it is solid and well made.

Most single beds will be delivered flat pack and require assembly which should be fairly straight forward. This is another benefit as it will be easy to dismantle the unit, making future transportation a doddle when you come to move house.

Don’t be afraid of buying a raw pine bed and then staining or painting it later, if you have particular interior decoration needs. This can be a great way of giving your pine bed a unique look not available from the shops. There are many suitable varnishes and wood paints to choose from and easy to apply.
