Quokka Beds Original Bed Base Queen
Verified41 reviews
We purchased the original bed base in Tasmanian oak after researching online, it was super easy to assemble, it’s so sturdy with no more creaking! and it looks great. The service was excellent and we were kept informed as to the production and delivery of our bed. Would not hesitate to purchase from Quokka beds in the future. Show details · 1
Look no further for a high quality, creak-free, solid timber bed base! I purchased the Quokka original bed base in Rose Gum (teak finish) after extensive research, specifically looking for quality, function and aesthetics. I’m VERY happy with this purchase! It’s a great design that was incredibly easy to assemble, it’s squeak free and it’s… Read more · 1
absolutely beautiful. I love that it’s an Australian-made product from solid Australian hardwood timbers. The workmanship is excellent and I can almost feel the love and care that’s gone into its creation. I found the Quokka team were quick to communicate and easy to deal with, and they provided a satisfying, high-level customer care experience. Purchasing this Quokka bed base is a sustainable investment. I know it will be a long term piece of furniture for us, probably generationally appreciated, not something I’ll ever need or want to be replacing. I’m looking forward to replacing my other bed with a Quokka original bed base soon.
The bed arrived within the estimated time frame. Overall I am satisfied with the bed frame. The pieces are not as thick or wide as expected, however each piece is one single solid piece of timber and not a thousand small pieces of timber glued together to make a panel. The bed is solid and sturdy, with no creaks or squeaks. The mattress doesn't… Read more · 1
slide off the base, despite the mattress sitting on top of the base rather than in it, which is one of the reasons I chose this base.
Unfortunately my frame arrived with scratches and marks due to the pieces rubbing together during shipping. Quokka customer service was outstanding, there is a phone number to speak to a real person, instead of an email or live chat only. Christine was extremely pleasant and helpful, she assisted me and arranged for the damaged pieces to be remade asap.

Very happy with the quality of the bed base but also how great the communication was leading up to it arriving! The team was friendly and helpful when we had questions about delivery. The bed is as advertised and you can tell it is well made and is very beautiful. Show reply
I chose this bed base because it was the only online affordable seller of an Australian made base with solid timber (not composite/MDF). Love the high quality solid timber materials. It was also very easy to put this bed together, I did I on my own in about half an hour after dinner. The base is a perfect minimalist style and has smooth timber… Read more · 1
so you can easily slide your mattress to rotate. Don't worry, it doesn't slide when you don't want it to.
This bed is so sturdy, high quality, silent, and supportive. The bed frame is very easy to set up and only took a few minutes on my own. It is very well made and a beautiful design. In particular, I really like that it is the same dimensions as the mattress, which makes it very easy to make the bed and to turn the mattress when needed. The Tasmanian Oak is lovely and I really like that it matches with my other bedroom furniture and lamps. Show details · 1

I purchased this queen base to replace a base that was too high to get in and out of bed. The base came in 3 boxes well marked and very well packed, I managed to assemble the base in about 15 mins and found that it was straight forward and very… Read more · 1
easy. It is now the right height for my wife and myself, and have found that I sleep a lot better because it does not make any noise when I turn over.
Follow-up · Sleeping is very good knowing we won't fall out of bed, the base was the same size as our mattress, and assembling was easy being as I have sets of special connectors and one fitted your screws so I could use my electric drill instead of your Allen Key which made assembly very easy.

Interior design is all about problem-solving and adding a dash of style, and as an interior designer I insist on quality and functionality above all. I love good furniture but spend more on our bed and bedding than any other item in the house. We needed a base to use in conjunction with an existing bed frame and to use under a new mattress - and… Read more · 1
the Quokka product was the only one left standing after an exhaustive search! Lovely solid timbers, well-finished pieces (no splinters!), easy and sturdy construction - and the service was very good too. Loved that these are Australian products made from Australian timbers. Certainly would deal with the company again.
Love this bed! Really easy to put together, it's silent and it's beautiful timber. My bed head struts were broken during a house move (from some aggressive handling, not due to build quality) and Quokka even replaced them at zero cost! I'm so happy I went with a locally made product. Show reply
Loving the minimalist style of this bed frame; looks great & as promised, easy to set up & doesn't creak! Was tossing up about ordering online from interstate, however I wanted to support Australian made & the reward was fantastic customer support. Quokka was incredibly responsive to emails, their care in packaging of product was outstanding &… Read more · 1
the QR code for the assembly video is genius. Super satisfying to deal with an Australian company making a quality product. So happy with the overall experience & of course the quality of an Australian designed & manufactured product. No hesitation to highly recommend a Quokka bed!
Thanks Quokka team for the great bed that does not creak. We ordered the additional side tables that attach to the bed. They are great for a smaller space and are very solid. It’s a beautiful bed and I love being able to support Australian made and Australian timbers that are sustainable. It also provides a little space under the bed where we could put some hideaway storage bags. Show details · 1
Fantastic bed frame! – The bed frame is fantastic, so solid and supportive, and no creaks whatsoever. It was very easy to set up and the Tasmanian Oak is lovely.

Aussie Made Bed that Doesn't Creak – The bed is very good quality and was easy to assemble. It looks great with clean simple lines. Absolutely no creaks. And it's Australian made. Show details · 1
Fabulous bed – This is a beautifully crafted bed. The timber finish is superb and the bed is strong and exceptionally easy to put together as I did it myself in 15 minutes. We were updated as our order progressed at every point. Thank you Quokka Beds, you have produced a top class bed, made in Australia from Australian timber. Show reply
Fabulous Bedbase – Love our Bed base and headboard, looks great and making the bed is a breeze. Needs two people too assemble, but was fairly quick and easy to do. Made a huge difference to how our mattress felt. Probably the only thing I was a little dissapointed in was the colour I chose, it's a little bit darker than I anticipated. Overall would definitely recommend to others. Show reply
Quokka: Excellence in every aspect – My first bed base with a headboard in over 30 years. It took that long to find a company and product that ticked all the boxes. This base is visually beautiful; of fine quality build, materials and finish; so easy to assemble and built to last. That Quokka took the time to design a base that doesn't creak was a major yes. From start of purchase to… Read more · 1
now, a couple of months after the base has been assembled I have only gold stars for Quokka. So pleased with this purchase. I've been searching for this bed base for over 20 years! Thank you for maintaining old fashioned professional values, excellence and quality in your designs, builds and service. So hard to find these days.
I am very happy to have found my 'forever' bed frame – I have extensively researched my 'forever' bed frame, because I am a light sleeper who likes her comfort. I wanted a small simple solid wood frame that saves space, and doesn't creak and squeak. Quokka Beds offered an assurance of a warranty (I believe their warranty is life-long) against squeaks as well. The fact that they are an Australian… Read more · 1
business and the price was right too was a cherry on the pie. The bed was worth the 6 weeks or so wait. It was easy to assemble, I have done it without the help of my husband and I can confirm that to sleep on it is to sleep on a well-made, quiet and sturdy frame. Very occasionally, there is a creak, which I think comes with the wood being 'alive' and changing with the room temperature. I am very happy and highly recommend it.
Simple and beautiful – Simple, beautiful and really easy to assemble. Smelled like fresh cut timber when opened, dissipated within a few days (sadly for me, loved the smell). Seems sturdy and didn't notice any creaks. The colour of the wood is georgeus (clear rose gum). Show details · 1
Beautiful Natural Bed – All communication with Quokka was clear and honest and they produced a product that I love. Production time was pushed back a little but they communicated this and made sure I was kept in the loop. So happy to be able to support Australian business and have a natural, toxin free bed. Easy to assemble and the timber smells so good! Show details · 1
Surprising Quality – Upon delivery I was a little suspicious about my purchase as it seemed that the bed base was not going to be that solid as the pieces seemed kind of flimsy for a bed base. I was very wrong. The base is as solid ans anything that has double the building material and does not move or make any squeaks, rattles, or other noises. Very happy with the quality of the product.

Looks great, very easy to assemble – Looked at lots of beds, the quokka was the only one I liked as it combined quality, minimalist style (particularly important as the bedroom isn't that big) and fair price. Had to wait a while for delivery as they are made to order but the website was very upfront about this so I managed my expectations. Very happy with the bed though and would recommend to others! Extremely easy to assemble. Show details · 1
Amazing quality, simple assembly and looks beautiful – So happy to be supporting an Australian-made and owned business. The quality of the bed is far superior to anything you would get in a chain furniture store. It was easy to assemble on my own, with no tools required. The design is minimalist and beautiful. I highly recommend Quokka; their service and communication has been fantastic all the way through. Show details · 1
