Natural and Sustainable Solid Wood Single Bed Base – Kipli

A solid wood single bed base serves two very different purposes. For a child’s bedroom, it is above all a choice for peace of mind: once dried, solid wood emits nothing—zero VOC emissions—and is finished with water-based varnish or vegetable wax, free of chemicals that evaporate at night. For an adult bedroom, two single bed bases placed side by side allow each sleeper to choose their own mattress —its firmness and support—without having to compromise. In both cases, solid wood offers the same benefits: a sturdy, healthy structure that won’t sag over time. At Kipli, these beds are made in France and Europe from certified solid wood, featuring sturdy slats. 

The WOOD solid wood bed can be used in both configurations.

The danger in a child's bedroom rarely comes from the wood itself; it comes from the surface treatments. A synthetic varnish or industrial adhesive can release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) for months.

At Kipli, the structures are finished with water-based coatings or vegetable wax—two processes that avoid the synthetic solvents responsible for these emissions.

Once solid wood has been dried and treated, it is inert: it no longer emits anything. This isn't a brand promise—it's an inherent property of the material.

The JAVA convertible bunk bed is built to meet these same standards.

It all depends on how you plan to use it. For a child aged 2 to 6, the 70x140 cm bed serves as a replacement for the crib without taking up the entire room, thanks to the JAVA cabin bed. From age 6 through adolescence, the 90x190 or 90x200 cm size is the standard: it accommodates several years of growth without needing to change the frame. For an adult bedroom, the 80x190, 80x200, 120x190, and 120x200 cm sizes offer more width depending on the room’s layout. And for two adults who want to pair two single bed bases, each with its own mattress, the WOOD bed is available as a duo: 2x70x190, 2x80x190, or 2x80x200 cm. In all cases, the flex slats are calibrated to adapt to the sleeper’s weight and movements.

The WOOD solid wood bed is available in a full range of sizes, from children's to adult sizes.

Traceability begins before the workshop. Kipli selects identified wood species—such as European ash, okoumé, and pine—whose origin is documented. The pieces are then crafted in partner workshops in France and across Europe, using expertise that we have chosen not to outsource. “If we can’t trace it, we don’t make it”—this principle has guided every material choice we’ve made since 2018.

Solid wood is low-maintenance—that’s one of its best qualities. A slightly damp cloth is all you need for routine cleaning; avoid harsh detergents that could damage the finish. For water-based varnished surfaces, avoid excessive moisture and solvent-based cleaners. For vegetable wax finishes, applying natural wax once or twice a year is enough to nourish the wood and maintain its appearance. In the case of minor scratches, a small amount of wax or linseed oil applied to the area is usually enough to reduce the marks. Solid wood ages well—it doesn’t deteriorate; it develops a patina. It’s a material that gains character over time, not one that wears out.
