Choosing a Sheesham bed

King size, box storage, hydraulic bases and open cots — how to pick from the Lignum Arts catalog.

Start with the mattress you already own

King beds in this shop are listed for a 78 × 72 inches mattress. If your mattress is queen or a hotel size, do not assume it will sit inside the frame. Measure it and send the numbers. We would rather change the spec than watch a mattress overhang.

Headboard height matters if the bed sits under a window or a low AC. Avon’s listed overall height is part of the 193 × 208 × 99 cm footprint. Other models are confirmed before cutting.

Box, drawers, hydraulic, or none

Grey box storage, like the Avon, keeps everyday things at the side without lifting the mattress. Side-drawer and front-drawer beds do the same with a different look. A hydraulic lift-up base gives one large cavity; you need room to raise the mattress and a second person the first time if the mechanism is stiff.

Without storage, the frame is simpler. Nauta is that bed: honey or natural lacquer, listed at ₹23,099. Choose it when the room already has a wardrobe.

Finish against the bedroom

Teak lacquer reads darker and hides dust less obviously. Honey and natural show the grain and pick up more contrast next to white walls. Look at the studio photo in daylight on your phone, then at the wall you will put it against. Screens make honey look orange.

Time and payment

Listed beds typically leave the workshop about 35 days after the spec is locked. Avon at ₹31,000 and Nauta at ₹23,099 can be paid on the site. Other beds are quoted on WhatsApp with the room width and the storage you want. Custom hotel sizes follow the same rule: no cutting until the drawing is agreed.
