Are any Essex Beds ready-to-ship?
Yes we do have a select number of Essex Beds in our most popular fabrics and finishes ready-to-ship. You can view our ready-to-ship options here.
What is the difference between having a fully upholstered headboard on The Essex and a headboard with muslin on the reverse side?
We offer two options for headboard upholstery–one in which the back is fully upholstered in your choice of fabric or leather, and one with a black muslin upholstered onto the back. If you plan to place your bed against a wall, you may opt for muslin upholstery on reverse; however, if you are floating your bed in a space, full upholstery is the right choice.
What kind of support is included for my mattress? Are any other components necessary?
The Essex is made with a system of hardwood slats milled from solid poplar wood. Each slat is 2.25” wide and spaced 3” apart along the foundation of the bed, and additionally secured with center support legs (1 for Queen sizes, 2 for King and Cal King).
With this highly durable foundation, The Essex does not require a box spring; however, a box spring can be accommodated if preferred.
Can I use an adjustable mattress or frame with The Essex?
Our beds were designed for use with our support system in mind, however many customers have used alternative support systems with success.
We are not able to confirm the compatibility of specific systems with Maiden Home frames. Please refer to our Bed Dimensions PDF for dimensions of the bed cavity to determine if your specific system will be compatible.
If you are interested in using an adjustable base, our design team can create a custom invoice for your order at designadvisors@maidenhome.com. This custom bed will be crafted without the interior side rails and will provide the open cavity needed to use your own support system. Please note that using any support system other than the one that Maiden Home provides will void your warranty.
What is the recommended mattress height?
The Essex Bed has a two inch inset into the frame for a mattress. Our styling recommendation for The Essex Bed is a mattress between ten and twelve inches high. With a mattress at this height, there will be approximately eight to ten inches of the mattress exposed.
Will my mattress fit within the Essex Bed?
The Essex Bed is designed to fit most standard mattresses of the corresponding size, with an additional inch of length and width included to accommodate different types of bedding and slight differences in sizing between different mattress types. Our Bed Dimensions PDF includes the full dimensions for interior mattress space for your reference. We recommend comparing the dimensions of your mattress with this measurement to confirm fit.
Can I order just the headboard for The Essex?
Our beds are only available to order as a complete set with the side rails and footboard.
What are the legs made out of and what finish options are available?
Our artisan partners hand select each material for its beauty and unique character. The Essex’s legs are expertly handcrafted using solid ash, a robust Appalachian hardwood. Our ash wood is domestically sourced from forests in the eastern United States and has been certified and verified sustainable by the US Forest Association.
The Essex’s legs are completed with your choice of six lacquered hues specially finished to highlight the natural grain and character of the wood. Due to the natural materials used, each piece will possess a unique, one-of-a-kind character and may slightly vary.
Can I order wood finish samples?
Wood finish samples for The Essex are available for order here. Please note, variation in grain and texture is to be expected between your wood sample and final piece, given the natural materials used. We’ll be happy to refund your swatch purchase less 10% for handling if returned within 30 days of the original ship date.
