We design our beds slightly smaller than the mattress, so that the mattress overhangs the sides & end by up to approximately 3/4 inch (1.9cm).

Dimensions

Height to the top of the bedframe that the mattress sits on varies according to leg or bed design you choose.
Our beds are made in UK standard sizes. We make special sizes upon request. Some retailers supply non-standard UK sizes, so please be sure to check your mattress is approximately the same sizes as our mattresses, give or take 1 inch or 2.5 cm. If you don't see the size you are looking for please call us on 020 3927 7777, we will sort it out.
All mattresses vary in length and width by, give or take, 1 inch (2.5 cm). This is wise to expect no matter where your mattress comes from.

Please note that our headboards are not stained, painted, or upholstered on the back, and neither is the headend, as these parts are not visible.

Platform

Our platform bed is simplicity itself! With the legs tucked underneath the frame so that there are no protruding corners, you save that extra little bit of space and keep them out of the way of your knees and toes!

Choose from one of our satin finishes, which beautifully enhance the natural grain of the wood, or a painted finish. Our stains and paints are water-based, which are safe for the environment, children, and pets.

Dimensions

We have made our "Traditional" bed frames to be as streamlined as possible. The bed frame itself is approximately 7 cm tall (3 inches). Add this to the length of the legs that you have chosen and that will be the height the mattress sits on.

Our Traditional space saving bed frames are made to be slightly smaller than the mattress that sits on them, allowing the mattress to sit over the edge approximately 2 cm (3/4 of an inch) all the way around the bed. This allows the bed to take up a minimal 'footprint' in your bedroom whilst moving the corners and legs of the bed away from being in the path of your feet and knees as you walk past and get in and out of bed daily.

Finishes & Fabrics

When you customize your bed, you can select from the following:

Stains

We offer many beautiful wood-enhancing stains that are completely water-based and safe for our environment, animals, and children. Our stain finishes include Black, Oak, Medium Oak, Teak, Red Mahogany, and English Oak. All of these stains have a two-part high-quality final lacquer finish applied to enhance the grain and longevity of our beds.

Paints

Our premium water-based paint is applied by top craftspeople from the industry within a controlled environment for lasting quality. The finishes are healthy for the environment, people, and pets. We don't offer painted finishes for the frame of our Original beds, but we can customize it for you at no extra cost. Just contact us for more information.

Fabrics

We hand-upholster our headboards with top-quality 100% Belgian linen, soft jean cotton, or easy-clean velvet fabrics fitted by our upholsterers using quality fillers. Available in various colors.

Unfinished

Select 'unfinished' to leave your bed sanded and 'ready to finish' so you can match the paint, fabric, or wood colors within your home.

Varnish

Select 'varnished,' and we will use clear lacquer but no staining — just a cleanable, protected, and well-finished wood presence.

Underbed Storage

All of our "Traditional" beds apart from the low leg version, have enough clearance height underneath the frame so as to accommodate our largest storage boxes. Designed specifically for our beds to offer the perfect place to hide away clothes, extra bed linen, shoes, bags, and toys. They are available in any of our beautiful wood enhancing finishes and paints, which are completely water-based and safe for our environment, animals, and children.

The stain or paint covers the external faces of these sturdy boxes, which are designed to slide smoothly across a carpeted bedroom floor. For wooden floors, just add sticky felt protectors (as with all other furniture), to protect the floor. We supply and apply the felt for free on delivery, you will need to maintain or replace it as required in the future.

Our underbed storage boxes are meticulously crafted using traditional skills and techniques applied by the expert hands of our carpenters.

Dimensions

Length: 105 cm
Height:28cm or 20 cm (when placing an order for a frame, the right storage drawer height options will be offered as a final selection in the ordering process)
Depth: 50 cm

Given the dimensions above, this allows for one underbed storage box for a single frame and two (one on either side) for a double bed or larger.

The drawers are supplied flat-packed with a simple bolt-together strong design and are assembled by our installation delivery crew - free of charge.

What Our Customers Say

ALS

Review originally posted on Trustpilot

We are delighted with our new Warren Evans bed and mattress, it is the icing on the cake in making our newly decorated bedroom feel like a luxury hotel room. We recently replaced our 16 year old organic latex mattress and broken bed frame with a Warren Evans Space Saving bed and superking zip and link Cotton 1500 mattress, which we topped with a wool mattress topper from Devon Duvets. It is so unbelievably comfortable and we are delighted. We researched beds and mattresses for ages and it took us a couple of years from knowing we needed one to finally making an order as we just couldn't decide what to buy and where from. We really wanted something with natural fibres and loved the fact that Warren Evans offered a cotton mattress. We were equally pleased with the space saver bed frame which has enabled us to fit a superking into our compact bedroom and love the fact that eco friendly dyes and varnishes are used. Overall we feel the bed and mattress is of top notch quality at a competitive price. We put the frame together ourselves which we found easy to do and we really like the fact that if we ever need to move it, we can separate the frame into two parts rather than having to take all the slats off. The staff were really friendly and helpful when we were unsure about exactly which frame design to go for. I totally recommend Warren Evans if you are looking for a new bed. We are so comfortable and the aches and pains we were having from our old bed, which really needed replacing, have completely gone. Now it feels like lying on a cloud and there is nothing we would change about it.
