Height-Adjustable Solid Oak Beds
At OakBeds.co.uk we design solid oak bed frames that can change height as life changes.
Our interchangeable leg system lets you start with a very low bed – ideal for young children, loft rooms or anyone who prefers sleeping closer to the floor – and later switch to higher legs for easier access and more storage space.
Instead of buying a whole new bed every time your needs change, you keep the same sturdy oak frame and simply swap the legs.
Have you ever bought a bed (or any piece of furniture), got it in place, and then wished you’d chosen a different height once it was actually in the room? Maybe it feels too low, too high, or doesn’t give you the under-bed space you imagined. Or life changes – kids grow, you move house, or health needs shift – and suddenly the “perfect” bed height isn’t so perfect anymore. Our height-adjustable oak beds are designed to take the worry out of that decision.
How Our Height-Adjustable Oak Beds Work
Our interchangeable leg system is simple, solid and designed for real homes:
Choose your starting height
Low legs (around 50mm) – great as a first bed for children or for very low ceilings.
Standard legs (around 170mm) – a more typical bed height for everyday use.
Use your bed as normal
The frame, headboard and slats are all built from solid oak and quality timber, just like the rest of our range. Nothing feels temporary or flimsy.
When life changes, swap the legs
Want more height, more storage or easier access? Just switch to a taller set of legs. The bed frame itself stays exactly the same.
You can order one leg height to start with, or choose a “Grow-with-Me” pack that includes both leg heights so you’re ready for the future.
A Bed That Grows Up with Your Child
This idea started at home.
When our own child moved into their first “big bed”, we built an oak frame with extra-low 50mm legs so it felt safe, cosy and close to the floor. As they grew older and more confident, they wanted a “proper high bed” – so we didn’t replace the bed, we just swapped the legs for taller ones (around 170mm).
Same solid oak bed. Same mattress. Same familiar feel.
Just a better height for the next stage of life.
Now we offer that same height-adjustable leg system to our customers, so your child’s first oak bed can grow up with them too.
Who Our Height-Adjustable Oak Beds Are Perfect For
Our interchangeable leg system is useful in lots of situations:
Children’s first beds
Start low so the bed feels safe and easy to climb into. As they grow, raise the bed to a standard height without buying a new frame.
Loft conversions & low ceilings
Use low legs to keep the bed profile down under sloping ceilings or beams. If you later move the bed to a different room, you can switch to taller legs.
Changing needs over time
If you find you’d like the bed a little higher for comfort or to make getting in and out easier, you can simply choose a taller leg set.
Guest rooms & flexible spaces
Adjust the bed height to suit different guests or to create more under-bed storage when you need it.
People who hate waste
One solid oak bed frame that adapts over the years is better for your wallet and kinder to the planet.
Why Choose a Height-Adjustable Oak Bed from OakBeds.co.uk?
Solid oak construction
We specialise in oak bed frames, made to order in the UK. Your adjustable bed is built with the same care and materials as the rest of our range.
Made to order, just for you
We build to all UK and European mattress sizes, plus non-standard sizes to suit awkward rooms or existing mattresses.
Future-proof design
Life doesn’t stay still – children grow, rooms change, and sometimes life throws a curve ball. Our interchangeable legs mean one bed can adapt along the way, so you don’t have to replace a whole frame every time your needs shift.
Flexible height options
Start with 50mm low legs, 170mm standard legs, or both. We can advise on the best combination for your mattress thickness and preferred overall height.
Sustainable approach
Keeping the same frame for longer and only changing small components reduces waste and the need for replacement furniture.

Each height-adjustable oak bed includes:
A solid oak frame, handcrafted in our UK workshop
High-quality slats (flat or sprung, depending on model)
A choice of leg heights to suit your bedroom and your needs
A selection of finishes to match your existing furniture
Because everything is made to order, we can also discuss:
Non-standard lengths and widths
