Solid wood futon beds
Futon beds are low bed frames that take up the flat character of a futon. At Etage7 you will find the solid wood bed Tokyo with a frame height of just 25 cm, which combines well with tatami, the Kobayashi with a slot-in headboard, the Dito with stainless steel connectors and the slot-together Tojo systems in beech multiplex, which need no screws or fittings. Frame heights between 23 and 28 cm deliberately keep the sleeping surface low.

Which mattress goes on a futon bed?
Because of the shallow insert depth (Tokyo 6 cm, Kobayashi 8 cm), futon beds call for a flat base such as a roll-up base or a rigid slatted frame. On top go futons, futon-style natural mattresses such as Aman or Camelot, or a natural latex mattress – the 20 cm Comfortline works fully even without a sprung frame.
We make the Tokyo and Kobayashi in maple, beech, heartwood beech, oak, ash, cherry and walnut, oiled and waxed, with beech stained on request. We are happy to advise you at our bed store in Berlin-Charlottenburg.
