Natural and Sustainable 70x190 Solid Wood Bed Base – Kipli

The 70x190 size comfortably accommodates a child from age 6 through the end of adolescence. The 190-cm length suits the vast majority of body types well into adulthood. The 70-cm width is sufficient for a single sleeper; in fact, it corresponds to the standard size of beds in student dorms.

If the child is tall for their age or if the bedroom allows for it, a 90x190 offers more width. But for a compact bedroom or a tight budget, the 70x190 remains a safe bet for about ten years.

At Kipli, the WOOD bed is made of solid okoumé—a wood that won't sag or warp, and will stand the test of time.

Rigid slats provide firm, even support—which is exactly what a developing spine needs.

Unlike flexible slats, rigid slats keep the mattress flat and prevent sagging spots. They also promote air circulation under the mattress, limiting the buildup of moisture overnight.

The slats on the WOOD bed are made of solid okoumé, left unfinished, and compatible with all types of mattresses: natural latex or innerspring. No surprises when you use it: what you see is what you get.

Melamine-coated wood and industrial adhesives can release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) for several months after purchase in a room where people spend ten to twelve hours a night—this is a point worth noting. The WOOD bed is made of solid okoumé wood, with no plastic screws, no chemical adhesives, and no engineered wood. It is finished with vegetable wax, applied by hand—a process that emits no synthetic solvents. This isn’t just a brand promise: it’s the direct result of what the bed does not contain.

The WOOD bed is made in Italy, near Turin, by Luca, a craftsman whose workshop has been working with solid wood since 1952. Each piece is assembled by hand, without screws or metal parts, using traditional joinery techniques that ensure the structure’s durability over time. The wood used is okoumé, a soft and malleable exotic wood from Central Africa, sourced from sustainably managed forests.

The finishing vegetable oil is applied by hand, piece by piece. It is this level of care that makes each WOOD bed unique—not in the marketing sense of the word, but in the literal sense.

The only difference is in the width: 20 cm less. For a child or teenager sleeping alone, those 20 cm don’t affect sleep comfort, but they can make all the difference in a small bedroom. A 70x190 bed fits into spaces where a 90x190 would be too bulky, leaving room for a desk, a bookshelf, or a reading nook. It’s often this consideration that guides the choice, more so than the sleeper’s body type. If the bedroom allows it and the child is tall for their age, the 90x190 remains the standard size to comfortably accommodate the teenage years.

A bed finished with vegetable oil requires little maintenance—that’s one of its best features. For everyday care, a slightly damp cloth is all you need to clean the frame, without detergents or chemicals that could damage the natural finish. Once or twice a year, applying vegetable oil or natural wax nourishes the wood and preserves its appearance. In the case of a minor scratch, applying a small amount of oil to the area is usually enough to reduce the mark. Solid okoumé ages beautifully: it doesn’t deteriorate—it develops a patina. With minimal maintenance, the WOOD bed is designed to last through childhood, adolescence, and well beyond.
