Mission style bedroom sets are a classic Amish furniture style. The sturdy posts and wide slats often seen in mission furniture have a timeless appeal. Explore the options of Mission bedroom furniture at Upstate Amish Furniture Gallery in South Carolina.
Amish Mission bedroom furniture traditionally features solid quarter sawn White Oak wood. The angled cut on White Oak displays a side view of the grain texture, highlighting the medullary rays and flecks in the wood grain.
The process of quarter sawing the wood at the lumber mill is time consuming, with less yield than plain sawn. This may result in a higher price tag for Quarter Sawn White Oak wood than some other wood species.
Savvy price shoppers often choose Rustic grade vs select grade quarter sawn White Oak wood, which includes small, filled knots in the wood. All the quarter sawn oak furniture shown throughout our website features rustic grade wood. To avoid any knots in your furniture, request select grade quarter sawn White Oak instead.
What Defines a Mission Bed Frame?
Mission style bed frames come in various styles. Perhaps the most common is the Craftsman Mission Bed, a combination of flat, inset panels and mission style slats in the headboard and footboard. The modern Mission bed features flat panels and added crown molding along the headboard. Solid wood Mission beds often feature inset, flat panels instead of beveled or raised panels.
Mission beds with storage often add a platform drawer unit underneath the bed. The Craftsman Mission bed features our extra deep, siderail drawers, extending all the way to the floor. The classic Mission style bed frame features siderail drawers with approximately 6-inch clearance off the floor.
Siderail drawer platforms are available with standard height and low-profile footboards. Standard mission footboards range from 26-28 inches high and often include panels that match the headboard style. Deep to floor drawer units include a modified footboard that extends to the floor as well.
Mission storage beds are available with siderail and footboard drawer units as well. This platform base has two spacious drawers in the footboard with an additional drawer one each side of the bed. The siderail and footboard drawer platform features a low-profile footboard, approximately 18 inches high. The size of platform drawers varies by bed size.
Mission beds are available in King, Queen, Full or California King sizes, with or without the added storage platform. All storage bases include a solid platform to support your mattress. This eliminates the need for an additional box spring.
Mission Style Dresser Options
Choosing a mission dresser for your bedroom offers several standard layouts. Traditional mission style oak dressers have a 7 or 9 drawer layout, available with or without a mirror. Low dressers with 7 drawers are approximately 35 inches high and tall dressers with 9 drawers are 42-45 inches high. Standard dresser widths range from 56-66 inches wide.
Mission dressers with a horizontal layout make an excellent TV stand when used without the mirror. Mount the TV on the wall to keep the dresser top clutter free. Adding an open shelf for components and cord holes in the back of the dresser add even more organization.
Small bedrooms may benefit from choosing a chest of drawers instead of a traditional dresser. Chests take advantage of the vertical height of the wall, rather than floor space. Mission chest of drawers are approximately 38-40 inches wide by 50 inches tall, usually with a 6-drawer layout.
Creating the Best Mission Bedroom Set for Your Bedroom
Choose the Mission bed frame and complementing furniture items to create the best mission bedroom set for your bedroom. Start with a beautiful mission style king bed frame to create a focal point in large master suites. Create your set with matching dressers, chest of drawers, nightstands, armoires, or chiffoniers.
Armoires and chiffoniers feature adjustable shelving behind the wooden doors. Request a clothes bar to hang suits or shirts instead. All drawers in our bedroom furniture include dovetailed drawer construction. The dovetailed joint at the front and back of the drawer box creates a strong, durable drawer that lasts for many years.
The drawers on our Mission style bedroom furniture include fully extending side mounted drawer slides. All drawers are also available with soft closing drawer slides upon request.
Mission nightstands and bedside tables are available with sliding tops to keep a handgun hidden within arms' reach. The sliding top opens to reveal a felt-lined compartment perfect for jewelry or other small items as well. Key card locks are available with sliding nightstand tops.
All bedroom storage items are available in custom sizes. Make the most of your wall space and bedroom layout with a custom sized mission dresser or bedside tables.
Our bedroom furniture sets feature matching jewelry mirrors, benches for the foot of your bed or custom accessories. Matching small desks for the corner of your bedroom or a fireplace TV stand create a cohesive feel in your space. Recliners or accent chairs with wood arms add a cozy spot to read in your bedroom. For further custom options, add matching bathroom vanities or built-in closet storage.

Wood & Color Options for Mission Style Bedroom Sets
The mission bedroom collections shown here are quarter sawn White Oak wood. The Craftsman Mission collection features Michael's Cherry stain, the traditional favorite on Mission styles. The Mission collection features Asbury Brown stain, just a shade darker and less red than Michael's Cherry. Other common stains for traditional Mission bedroom sets include Harvest and Golden Brown.
While reddish brown stains on quarter sawn White Oak wood are the classic style, there are other wood and color options as well. Mission style beds, dressers, and chests have a sleek, modern feel in Maple or Walnut wood. Amish furniture makers build each piece of furniture from scratch, allowing for customization.
Other hardwood options available for Mission bedroom furniture include Red Oak, Maple, Cherry, Elm, Hickory and Walnut wood. Choosing a different type of solid wood greatly changes the style of furniture. A Shaker style dresser gets an arts and crafts makeover simply by choosing to have it built in quarter sawn White Oak wood. Prices vary by wood type.

Care and Maintenance of Amish Bedroom Furniture
The care and maintenance of your new Amish Mission bedroom set is quick and easy. Simply keep the furniture indoors, in a controlled temperature and humidity. Clean the bedroom furniture regularly to avoid dust buildup on the finish.
The finish we use is a catalyzed conversion varnish. This finish is heat resistant to 220 degrees, waterproof, and UV resistant to yellowing and fading. We do not recommend traditional wood polishes or conditioners. These products often leave a residue on the finish without actually penetrating the wood itself.
