Oak Bed Frames Designed for Safer Movement and Space Efficiency
At The Oak Bed Workshop, we handcraft every bed frame in our UK workshop using traditional techniques and sustainably sourced oak. Our beds with recessed bed legs are carefully designed for modern living—especially where space is limited and comfort matters.
Instead of traditional corner legs that protrude, the recessed design tucks the legs neatly under the bed frame. This creates a smooth edge profile that offers several benefits:
- No more knocking your feet when walking around the bed
- Avoids contact with skirting boards, making it ideal for compact or narrow bedrooms
- Visually light and clean, creating a ‘floating’ look that adds a sense of space
Each frame is built with the same attention to detail and robust joinery that defines all our products. The structure is made to match the exact footprint of the mattress—no wasted centimetres, just solid oak craftsmanship in its most efficient form.
Our recessed leg collection is perfect for those who want functionality without compromising on aesthetics. Beautiful, practical, and long-lasting—this is oak furniture built for real homes.

FAQ
Beds with Recessed Bed Legs
-
What are recessed bed legs?+ -
Recessed bed legs are positioned inward from the corners of the bed frame, rather than protruding outwards. This thoughtful design reduces the risk of accidentally bumping your feet and helps prevent damage to nearby skirting boards or furniture.
-
Will the bed fit flush to my wall or skirting board?+ -
Absolutely. The recessed leg design keeps the outer edges of the frame free of obstruction, making it easier to position the bed tightly against a wall or within a narrow alcove—ideal when every centimetre counts.
-
Why choose a bed with recessed legs?+ -
Beds with recessed legs are ideal for smaller bedrooms or tight spaces. They make it easier to move around the bed without stubbing your toes and help maintain a clean, uncluttered appearance—adding a subtle ‘floating’ effect that visually enlarges your room.
-
Can I use my existing mattress with this bed?+ -
Yes. Our recessed leg bed frames are made to perfectly fit standard UK mattress sizes, with the structure designed to match the exact footprint of the mattress. There’s no overhang or wasted space.
