The bed programme.

Standard UK sizing throughout, built for heavy commercial use. Wider apartment furniture — bedroom case goods, living and dining — can be specified alongside on a project basis.

A complete contract bedroom package set out in a studio: storage divan base, pocket-sprung mattress, grey headboard, flat-packed wardrobe carton, bedside table and a packed dressing set.
Base, mattress, headboard and storage from one factory

Divans

Platform top, optional drawers

Hard-wearing platform-top bases with optional storage drawers. The default specification for most schemes, from 3'0" single through to 6'0" super king.

Ottomans

Full lift-up storage

Gas-lift storage across the full base footprint. Where a studio or compact one-bed has to make the floor area work harder, this is usually the answer.

Zip and link

Two singles or one super king

Two independent single beds that link into one king or super king. One specification covers couples and sharers, so the unit does not need two sets of stock held against it.

Frames, low profile and electric

Upholstered and adjustable

Upholstered bed frames in contract fabrics, shallow low-profile bases on legs where the room design calls for a lighter look, and adjustable profiling beds for accessible apartments and care settings.

Mattresses

Open coil to pocket sprung

Contract-grade and CRIB5 compliant throughout, specified for repeat tenancies and repeat cleaning rather than a showroom floor.

Headboards and storage boxes

Floor and strutted styles

Floor-standing and strutted headboards, with matching end-of-bed ottoman storage boxes in the same contract fabric.

Safety as standard.

Strict adherence to UK fire and safety regulations, protecting residents, guests and tenants — and protecting you from the specification being questioned after handover.

CRIB5 compliant

Mattresses, headboards, frames and fabrics supplied CRIB5 compliant throughout. If you are not sure whether your scheme needs CRIB5, ask us before you specify — it is a short conversation and it is cheaper than finding out late.

BS 5852 and BS 7177

Manufactured to meet BS 5852 and BS 7177, with medium or high hazard specified according to the setting and what your insurer requires. Certification issued with the delivery paperwork rather than chased afterwards.

Contract fabric collection

A full contract-grade fabric range: durability and a premium finish, compliant across every option, so a fabric chosen for how it looks does not cost you the specification.

Built to last

Reinforced construction for heavy commercial use, with warranty cover of up to ten years depending on the line specified. Fewer replacements across the hold is where the real saving sits.

Trade pricing.

Factory direct, with two ways to buy depending on whether this is one scheme or an ongoing programme.

Rows of identical wrapped mattresses and divan bases stored upright on pallet racking in a clean warehouse aisle.
Factory direct, stock held for repeat orders

Trade account

For quick, repeat ordering across a portfolio. Agreed pricing, a named contact, and orders placed without re-quoting every time.

Tailored quote

For a single scheme or a one-off refit. Priced line by line against your schedule of accommodation, with lead times confirmed against your handover date.

What you can expect.

Set up for commercial supply, so the answers are predictable. One accountable supply chain from first enquiry to installed beds.

Two installers in hi-vis carry a wrapped mattress along the corridor of a new apartment block, with wrapped divan bases stacked by the service lift.

Quote

Priced quote within 24 hours of receiving your schedule, and a dedicated account manager on the project from that point on.

Lead time

Three to ten business days on standard lines, with manufacturing capacity of around 100 units per week for volume orders. Longer runs are planned against your programme rather than quoted blind.

Delivery

Phased by floor or by block to a booked slot, with vehicles sized to the loading bay. If your programme moves, we hold stock rather than sending it to a site that is not ready.

Install and clear

Installation available where you want it. Built in room, protection fitted, and packaging removed from site rather than left in the corridor.

Open an enquiry.

Whether you are quoting for a single property or a multi-site rollout, we will guide you through the options, the compliance requirements and trade pricing for your volume. Same day response, Monday to Friday.
