Alu Bed

Raves. As Bedroom Month has come to a not so final close, we noticed a few rave reviews for the very slim Alu Bed from DWR.

I just got the Alu bed with the Sonno mattress and it is great. Sturdy and it has a middle rail and fifth leg to avoid cracked and sagging slats. Andy

I covet the slim and sexy Alu Bed from DWR, lack of headboard notwithstanding. It takes up no extra room at all, and has plenty of space underneath for storage. NY

We do like the simplicity of it, while the price speaks volumes: $598 for Queen (it is on sale right now w. purchase of mattress). Made of aluminum with wood slats and available in King, Queen, Full, Twin. Designed by Luciano Bertoncini (2003). (Thanks, Andy & NY!) MGR

RR, the upholstered headboard is supposed to come in
woven wool (red or cocoa) or removable cotton canvas
slipcovers (orange or grey), according to January 2007 catalog. So, you could have gotten the canvas one or maybe asked DWR if the slipcovers were for sale separately.

I just visited my local DWR showroom (Cleveland),
after noticing the Alu "Upholstered" Bed in their catalog (yay!).
Guess what? The showroom manager says it's called the MIN Bed (Alu was the former name, I guess) and he has never heard of any headboard coming with the Alu Bed...He searched the DWR website and old catalogs but could NOT find anything! He thinks such thing does not exist...!

Do you think they discontinued it after a couple of months?
Or is it just out of stock and not showing inventory???
I, too, am so curious about this bed...

hello all. i realize this is a old thread, but has anyone been successful getting a headboard for the alu/min bed? i have one (queen, purchased in 2006 from dwr, with a cocoa headboard), and i just bought another frame (king) and really want a headboard for it. nothing appears to be on the dwr website. any leads? thanks!

Call one of the stores directly. They may be able to find a headboard for you, even if it's not on the website. I just did, and with a little effort they were able to locate one for me. It's plexiglass now, not upholstered. Making a slipcover would probably be very easy though.
