Solid Wood King Bed Frames
A solid wood king bed frame is built from real wood rather than MDF, particleboard or plywood. We list a bed here only when its maker says the frame is solid wood: ten beds, eight king and two California king, 27 to 88 inches tall, all shipped free to the lower 48 states and DC.
Six name the wood: solid mahogany on the Madison, solid mango on the Nantucket, a solid pine headboard on the Aspen, pine, which its maker calls solid wood, on the Durango, and solid rubberwood on the Sonoma and the Redding, two California kings. You will also find a carved canopy bed and three upholstered beds built on a solid wood frame. Many wood beds mix solid wood with MDF, plywood or veneer; we left those out, and you will find them with all our wood king bed frames. Each product page gives the outside size and the materials as the maker lists them.
Need a California king in solid wood? See the Sonoma solid wood California king bed frame, made of rubberwood.
Also on a solid wood frame: the Madison in mahogany, which needs a box spring, and two canopy beds, the carved gray Camden and the upholstered black Mystic.
Other frames for a 72 x 84 inch mattress are on our California king bed frame page.
The mahogany Madison also comes in black; you will find it among each other black king bed frame we sell, in steel, wood or fabric.
For a 72 x 84 in mattress, our california king wood bed frame collection gathers 8 beds, the Sonoma and the Redding among them.
None of our beds is listed as solid walnut; the walnut-colored ones, with the wood under each finish, are on our walnut king bed frames page.
The Madison is made for a box spring; our king foundation guide explains the low-profile and standard heights you can put under it.

Sizing and buying guides
Before you choose
Which solid wood king bed for your room?
Plain wood
The Durango is a walnut-finish pine bed with a chevron headboard, 36.2 inches tall, on tall legs; its maker calls the pine solid wood but does not say whether the chevron panels are solid pine or veneer. The Aspen has a solid wood frame and a 50 inch solid pine panel headboard in a walnut finish, with 13.8 inches of floor clearance for storage bins. The Madison is a mid-century bed in solid mahogany with dovetail joints and round tapered posts, in white, light gray or black. For a California king, the Redding and the Sonoma are solid rubberwood, according to their makers: the Redding in a natural finish with two woven rattan panels, the Sonoma gray-washed with a square-tufted light gray headboard.
Carved wood
The Nantucket is solid mango wood, kiln dried and 100% wood according to its maker, with openwork floral carving on its 69 inch headboard and on the footboard, painted white and distressed. The Camden is a canopy bed on a solid wood frame, with spiral-carved columns, a metal scrollwork top and a padded gray headboard panel, 88 inches tall.
Upholstered on a solid wood frame
The Hudson is wrapped in gray linen, with a 65 inch headboard and slim metal legs. The Mystic is a black canopy bed in diamond-tufted flannelette, 87.4 inches tall, with USB ports and Bluetooth speakers listed by its maker. The Savannah is a floor-level platform with padded faux leather headboard panels and a nightstand shelf on each side. On these three the wood is inside: their makers list a solid wood frame under the upholstery.
What counts as solid wood here
We go by the maker's own listing: the frame has to be listed as solid wood, or in a named solid wood such as mahogany or mango. A wood look is not enough, and neither is a frame listed as solid wood mixed with MDF, plywood or veneer; those beds are in our wood king bed frames. To weigh solid wood against MDF and plywood, see solid wood vs engineered wood bed frames. The Madison, the Nantucket, the Aspen, the Durango, the Sonoma and the Redding name the wood; the others say solid wood without naming the species. Grain and tone vary from one bed to the next, as the makers of the Madison and the Nantucket point out.
Box spring and weight
Five need no box spring: the Aspen, the Mystic, the Savannah, the Sonoma and the Redding, as their makers say. On the Durango the maker's listing contradicts itself (its description and slat deck say none is needed, one field says one is), so check with us before buying. The Madison and the Nantucket are built for a box spring, which is not included. The makers of the Camden and the Hudson do not say. Where a weight capacity is given, it is 440 lb for the Savannah, 450 lb for the Madison, 600 lb for the Aspen and the Hudson and 800 lb for the Nantucket, the Sonoma and the Redding; the makers of the Camden, the Durango and the Mystic give none. The Aspen's slats are 5 inches apart, so lay a bunkie board under an all-foam mattress.
Size, height and delivery
Seven king frames are 80 to 84.5 inches wide outside; the Savannah reaches 137 inches with its nightstand shelves, and the Sonoma and the Redding, for a California king, are 74.8 inches wide. Lengths run from 83.8 inches (Durango) to 96.5 inches (Camden), and heights from 27 inches (Savannah) to 88 inches (Camden). Under an 8 foot ceiling, the Camden leaves 8 inches and the Mystic 8.6 inches above the frame. The Aspen, the Durango, the Sonoma and the Redding ship by parcel carrier to your door; the other six come by freight truck, on an appointment, in 3 to 5 cartons. Shipping is free to the lower 48 states and DC, and our room calculator checks the outside size against your walls.

Solid wood king beds: questions people ask
What is a solid wood bed frame?
A bed frame whose structure is cut from real wood, not made of MDF, particleboard or plywood. Some show the wood, bare or painted, like our Madison and Nantucket; others are upholstered over a solid wood frame, like our Hudson.
Which solid wood king beds show the wood?
Seven: the Sonoma and the Redding in solid rubberwood (both California kings), the Durango and the Aspen in pine, the Madison in solid mahogany, the Nantucket in solid mango, painted white, and the Camden, a carved canopy bed on a solid wood frame with a metal top.
What is the cheapest solid wood king bed frame?
The Durango, a walnut-finish pine bed with a chevron headboard, then the Redding, a California king, and the Aspen.
Do solid wood king beds need a box spring?
It depends on the bed, not the wood. Ours: no for the Aspen, the Durango, the Mystic, the Savannah, the Sonoma and the Redding; yes for the Madison and the Nantucket, which are built for one. The makers of the Camden and the Hudson do not say, so write to us and we will ask.
Is pine solid wood?
Pine is a real wood, a softwood. What matters is whether the listing says solid pine or a pine veneer over engineered board. The Aspen's maker lists a solid pine headboard; the Durango's maker calls its pine solid wood but does not say whether the chevron panels are solid or veneer.
Do you have a solid wood canopy bed in king size?
Yes: the Camden, with spiral-carved columns on a solid wood frame and a metal scrollwork top, 88 inches tall. The Mystic, 87.4 inches tall, is upholstered in black flannelette over a solid wood frame.
How much weight does a solid wood king bed hold?
Where our makers give a figure: 440 lb for the Savannah, 450 lb for the Madison, 600 lb for the Aspen and the Hudson and 800 lb for the Nantucket, the Sonoma and the Redding. The makers of the Camden, the Durango and the Mystic give none.
How are solid wood king beds delivered?
The Aspen, the Durango, the Sonoma and the Redding come by parcel carrier to your door. The other six, about 180 to 441 lb in their cartons, come by freight truck on an appointment. Shipping is free to the lower 48 states and DC.
