Challenging the expectations of solid wood.
The inspiration for the Bates Bed was found right in our backyard in Lewiston, Maine. Established in 1850 by Benjamin Bates, the Bates Manufacturing company swiftly grew into one of New England’s largest textile manufacturers. It produced millions of yards of cotton goods annually and employed over 5,000 workers, transforming Lewiston from a quiet agricultural town into a bustling multicultural city.
The aptly named Bates Bed is inspired by the spools once used by the weavers who worked in the mill. While visually delicate, the tapered spindles are reinforced at the head and foot rail with wedged tenons that provide stability while offering an alluring demonstration of craftsmanship.
The innovative spirit of this design shines in the primary joint between the legs and the headrail. This hybrid of mortise and tenon and bridle joinery showcases our thoughtful approach to combining strength with aesthetic appeal.
Our platform beds are made to order for your specific mattress height. If you have questions about measuring, please get in touch with us or read our tips here.
