A good night’s sleep starts with a well-crafted bed. A bed that’s not just comfortable, but beautiful, durable, and tailored to your space.
At Pfitzner Furniture, we celebrate individuality by offering customisable options, ensuring that your bedroom furniture truly reflects your personal style. For over 50 years, we’ve been handcrafting beds and bedroom furniture in Adelaide using premium solid timbers and time-honoured techniques. Whether you're upgrading your bedroom or furnishing a new home, a custom solid timber bed from Pfitzner is a choice you’ll appreciate for decades to come.
Bed frames that do more than support
Your bed frame isn’t just structural—it’s the focal point of your bedroom. A well-designed frame sets the tone for your room’s aesthetic while playing a crucial role in comfort and support. At Pfitzner, each solid timber bed frame is individually crafted from premium timber, ensuring a level of quality and visual appeal that mass-produced pieces can’t match.
Our frames are available in a wide range of styles—from classic panelled headboards like Aldgate or Burnside, to sleek, minimal silhouettes like Hove or Dan—allowing you to choose a look that suits your personality and home décor. More importantly, each frame is made to order, so you’re not restricted by one-size-fits-all options.
Smart storage and seamless design
For those wanting more functionality from their bed other than just a place to sleep, we can accommodate with built-in storage. Our custom bed frames can incorporate under-bed drawers or storage compartments without compromising on style. These clever storage solutions are ideal for keeping your space tidy while maximising functionality—perfect for homes where space is at a premium. Our standard drawer is dovetailed timber with Blum soft-close undermounted runners.
Every storage element is designed to blend seamlessly into the bed frame’s structure, maintaining the refined appearance that defines all Pfitzner furniture.
Custom mattress base options for every sleeper
Choosing the right bed frame base is just as important as choosing the right mattress. Pfitzner Furniture offers two mattress support systems to suit a variety of sleeping preferences and mattress types:
Euro Posture Slat Base
This flexible base option is designed specifically for use with latex and Bonnell spring mattresses. The slightly sprung design helps distribute body weight more evenly and allows for a gentle cushioning effect. It promotes airflow under the mattress, keeping it fresh and extending its life—an excellent choice for those who prioritise comfort and breathability.
Rigid Board Base Panel
The rigid board base is ideal for those who prefer a firmer foundation, especially when paired with a pocket spring mattress. This base offers solid, consistent support across the entire mattress surface, aiding the mattress in maintaining its structure and firmness over time. We machine air slots in the base to allow the mattress to breathe. It’s a go-to option for sleepers who need added stability or wish to preserve the longevity of a quality mattress.
Celebrating the natural beauty of premium timber
Every piece of Pfitzner bedroom furniture starts with carefully selecting solid timber. We offer a variety of native and sustainably sourced hardwoods, each with its unique wood grain pattern, texture, and colour tone. Some of our most popular timbers include:
- Tasmanian Messmate – A light to medium-toned Australian hardwood known for its beautiful natural variation, subtle gum veins, and warm, earthy character.
- American Black Walnut – A luxurious dark timber prized for its rich chocolate-brown colour, fine grain, and timeless sophistication.
- Blackwood – A premium Australian hardwood with warm golden to reddish-brown hues and distinctive, swirling grain patterns that add visual depth.
- American Oak – A versatile and durable pale-toned timber with a pronounced open grain, ideal for both classic and contemporary furniture styles.
Each timber is selected not just for its appearance, but for how well it performs over decades of daily use. We also offer custom staining and finishing, allowing you to further customise your bed’s final look to suit your space.
Why choose custom handcrafted over mass-produced?
Choosing a custom-made solid timber bed isn’t just about personal taste—it’s about making a smart, long-term investment. Here’s why our customers keep coming back to Pfitzner for bedroom furniture:
Unmatched Aesthetic Appeal
With natural variations in grain and colour, no two beds are the same. Your piece will have a unique character that mass-produced alternatives can’t replicate.
Superior Craftsmanship
Each bed is made by skilled carpenters in our Adelaide Hills factory workshop. Our team uses traditional joinery techniques that look beautiful, are structurally sound, and are built to last.
Tailored Design
From dimensions and timber species to headboard shape and finish, every aspect of your bed frame can be customised to fit your vision and practical needs.
Lasting Strength and Durability
Solid timber is inherently sturdy, making our bed frames comfortable and long-lasting. With proper care, they are furniture pieces that can be passed down through generations.
Sustainable Choice
By choosing Australian-made furniture built from responsibly sourced materials, you support Pfitzner’s sustainable practices and reduce the environmental footprint associated with imported goods.
