WOODLAND is different to other adventure bed manufacturers because of the strength of the materials used, the measurements, the design, the quality of the raw materials used, the accessories- and service offered - all this together results in an excellent price-performance relationship.

Advantage Nr. 1:  Untreated wood is ideal for a healthy living environment: The wood can regulate the amount of moisture in the air and bring it to the optimum level. In particular in the winter months when the air conditioning makes the respiratory tract of your children very dry, however untreated wood surfaces balance out the humidity like a sponge.

Advantage Nr. 2:  The maintainence advantages: Children have in our experience sometimes paint on furniture e.g. with felt tip pen or wax crayons.   Unwanted graffiti or dirty marks can be easily removed with some cleaning tissue and a vaccum cleaner as a cleaning method. One with wax or oil treated upper surfaces can be much more difficult to clean. Coloured marks (e.g. with a felt tip) would be much more strongly stained into the wood with an upper surface treatment (oil or wax).

Advantage Nr. 3: The cost and time saving is not to be underestimated. An adventure bed (e.g. CALGARY) consists of more than 50 metres of beam material, which in the case of the upper surfaces must be coated on four sides using many operations. This takes many litres of wax and a great deal of time. However for an extra price we are also able to provide this service for you. Suitable varnishes and wax finishes can be found here.

Advantage Nr. 4:  Untreated wood is more easy for childrens hands to grip when climbing and therefore more child friendly.

WOODLAND adventure beds are suitable for children at any age. The WOODLAND furniture combination can be adapted for the use of every child at every age. As the first manufacturer to develop a highly adaptable bunk bed, WOODLAND produced the WINNIPEG which is suitable for children in their first year of life and from the beginning it can be assembled to adapt to the childs age. (see pic. left). By using the different heights of the sleeping levels, the bed can always be adapted to suit the physical and mental capabilities of the child.

However if you don´t want to begin with a WINNIPEG bunk bed you can use a LULLABY during your childs first year of life, the ALABAMA-MINI-, ALABAMA- or WYOMING, baby frame beds can be a similarly flexible entrance into the furniture system. We have provided an overview to help you with your choice of model:
