General details

Nobody anywhere in Europe makes beautiful, quality beds like these!

Our space saving 'Ottoman' beds have been developed by us to be incredibly strong and long lasting. The legs and frame are tucked under the mattress saving space and keeping them out of the way of your knees and toes! Choose these designs to get the most out of your available space and being able to have a larger mattress where ever possible. These space-saving beds offer a stylish storage solution using our expertly designed sub-structure, which are made from specially engineered solid Birch plywood on all four sides and the slats, built to last. They are fitted with quality German gas struts, which assist with lifting the ottoman's mattress platform and holding the storage space open until you’re ready to close it. The mattress platform is designed to exclude dust from your under-bed storage area, so that you can store your stuff without the need for extra bags or boxes. There are no gaps in our solid birch ply slatted platform, resulting in the very positive outcome of the storage area remaining virtually dust free (regular slatted basis will not do this). These beds are slightly smaller than the mattress so that the mattress overhangs the sides & end by up to approximately 3/4 of an inch (1.9cm), maximising the size of the mattresses allowed in smaller rooms. 

We insure the quality and ethical production of every aspect of our furniture from start to finish. We don't ship products thousands of miles, so we can control the quality of the FSC wood, the quality and type of mattress fillers, the workmanship, the limited packaging that is reused and the free deliveries - assembly service - returns- old bed/mattress removals with recycling. All direct to you from our London workshop and committed staff. Buying direct from the craftsmen is always better value. Your bed will be skilfully handmade in our environmentally friendly London workshop, be built to be long-lasting, comfortable and beautiful. We recycle 98% of our waste and use only water-based finishes on our FSC® certified wood. Traditional carpentry methods ensure your bed is solid, comfortable and will stand the test of time. Our beds come in sections that allow them to fit into all homes, so there’s no need to worry about narrow hallways or stairs.

Make your bed special and infuse it with your personality by choosing from a range of headboards, leg designs and a wide range of colour options. If you don't want a headboard select the "platform" model. Enhance the natural grain of the wood by selecting one of our wood stains. We offer a lovely selection of water based paints, to help add colour to your bedroom while being long-lasting, safe for you, your family, animals and the environment. If you prefer a fabric finish check out our curated selection of 100% natural Belgian linen, soft jean cartons, or the easy clean velvet options. They are truly beautiful...

What Our Customers Say

Review originally posted on Google

The storage space is superb and I couldn't be happier with the bed in general. I'd also like to thank the delivery guys who built the bed for us in under 30 minutes without any fuss. They were very friendly and made it look so easy! 10/10 review! Ottoman

  •  

    I was 17 in 1978 when I started hand making beds here in London, building beds that last and using sustainable natural materials has always been my core requirement. We became the first FSC certified timber bed makers in the UK, and in caring for the woods that we use, we influenced the bedding industry to reduce the use of rain-forest and other ancient forest woods!

    Sadly most of the UK's beds and mattresses are really skimpily made of poor quality, unethically sourced materials. I focus on craftsmanship and environmentally sound practices to make beautiful products that last; I like delivering good quality, service and value. 

    Since 1978 I've been handmaking lasting quality beds here in London.
