Collection: Upholstered beds

Three groups

Sorting them by looks makes no sense — the fabric sets the looks. We sort them by what the bed can do.

Sleeping area size

Sizes are in millimetres: the first number is the width, the second the length. It is the same grid the mattresses use, so bed and mattress match without any converting.

900 × 2000

Single. For a child, a teenager, or a small guest room.

1200 × 2000

Small double. Room to spare for one adult.

1400 × 2000

The smallest double. A little tight for two adults.

1600 × 2000

The most common double size: a balance between comfort and floor space.

1800 × 2000

A comfortable double: each of you has room, and turning over does not wake the other.

2000 × 2000

The largest we make. It needs a big bedroom with space to walk round at least three sides.

Buy the mattress to exactly this size, not approximately: a couple of centimetres of slack eventually lets the mattress shift, and shifting means creaking.

What they are made of

The part you cannot see in a photograph, and the part that decides whether the bed will creak in three years.

• Frame — A metal frame at the corners, or a podium running the perimeter. A few beds use a board and plywood body.
• Mattress base — An orthopaedic mesh base. Nikki and Valery use beech slats, which flex and work together with the mattress.
• Centre rail — An extra rail across the bed under the mattress. At 1600 mm and wider it is what keeps the base from sagging.
• Headboard — Padded, with foam and synthetic wadding. The stitching differs: geometric on Blues, vertical on Melissa, buttoned in the carriage style on Sharon, and Valery has a double headboard.
• Lifting mechanism — On gas shock absorbers, with two lifting positions on some models.
• Upholstery — Fabrics from our own collections, made to order: Standart, Freedom, Glow, Symphony, Loft, Polaris, Palladium, Vogue, Diva, Genesis and Anthology.

How to choose

Four checks worth making before you order rather than after delivery.

• Measure the room including the walkways: you need to reach the bed from at least one side, and with a lifting mechanism you also need clear floor in front to raise it.
• Check the bed will pass through your doors and stairwell: the large sizes ship flat, but the headboard is one piece.
• If the bedroom has no room for a wardrobe, the linen box solves a problem you would otherwise solve with more furniture.
• Valery has a double headboard that can be made up in two different fabrics — the simplest way to end up with a bed nobody else has.
• Order the mattress together with the bed: the sizes then match for certain, and set promotions apply.
