Next in our feature series on Hardwood Beds is Tulip – used for producing Tulip Wood which is now the second most available species after oak in the US due to its mellow colour and high performance properties.

Tulip Wood is becoming more and more common and as a result extensive research and testing which was carried out for its properties in structural design and it was shown to be quite promising. As a result, it has caught the attention on many architects, designers and specifiers – and also one of the reasons why Get Laid Beds have chosen it among our range of Hardwood Beds.

Tulipwood, also known as tulip poplar or yellow poplar, is a popular choice for furniture making because of its versatility, affordability, and attractive appearance. Some of the reasons why tulipwood is used to make furniture such as bed frames:

  • Versatility: Tulipwood is a lightweight and easy-to-work-with wood that can be shaped, carved, and machined with relative ease. This makes it a good choice for furniture makers who want to create intricate designs or custom pieces.
  • Affordability: Tulipwood is a relatively affordable wood compared to some other hardwoods, such as maple or oak. This makes it a popular choice for budget-conscious furniture makers or those who want to create large-scale projects.
  • Attractive appearance: Tulipwood has a warm, pale color with a subtle grain pattern that can be finished to a smooth, polished surface. It is often used for furniture that has a natural, rustic look, and is a popular choice for country-style or shabby-chic designs.
  • Sustainability: Tulipwood is a fast-growing wood that can be sustainably harvested from many regions around the world. This makes it a popular choice for furniture makers who want a high-quality, environmentally friendly material. Overall, tulipwood is a versatile and affordable choice for furniture makers who want to create strong, attractive pieces that will last for years to come.

    No only does the soft, fine-grained wood have a popular appearance, it is also a favourite with wood workers due to its easy-to-work nature.
