Why just a base?

The part of the bed nobody sees. The part that does all the work.

Your mattress is fine. Your headboard is fine. It's the tired, sagging base underneath that's undoing both. Replace only the part that's worn out, and keep everything else.

1

Everything else stays

Your mattress and headboard carry straight over. Every base is made to standard UK sizes with standard headboard fitting points, so nothing else needs replacing.

2

Trade-grade construction

These are the same bases we have manufactured for prestigious British bed brands for years. Solid timber frames, reinforced corners, built to be slept on every night, not just to look right on delivery day.

3

Storage where you need it

Choose an ottoman base and the entire footprint of your bed becomes storage. Our ottoman mechanism is SATRA tested to lift 250kg, so a fully dressed mattress rises with one hand.

4

Finished in your fabric

Every base is upholstered to order across 11 fabric families and 85 colourways, from crafted bouclés and pure wools to plush velvets and breathable linens. Match it to a headboard you already own, or start fresh.

How it works

Three decisions. We do the rest.

1

Choose your base

Leg, deep, ottoman storage or platform. Each changes the height, the stance and what lives underneath.

2

Choose size and fabric

Single, Small Double, Double, King, Euro King, Super King or Emperor, in any of our 85 colourways. Add a matching headboard if you want one.

3

We build it and bring it in

Handcrafted to order in our British workshop, then delivered to your bedroom and assembled with complimentary white glove service.

Wonderful Craftsmanship

Beautifully made from top to bottom. The stitching is neat, the frame feels exceptionally strong and the overall finish is first class.

Questions, answered

Everything people ask before ordering

Is this just the base, without a headboard or mattress?

Yes. Everything on this page is the divan or platform base on its own. Headboards and mattresses are sold separately, so you only pay for the part you actually need. If you want the full bed, you can add both at checkout or shop our complete beds instead.

Will my mattress fit?

Yes. Every base is made to standard UK sizes from Single to Emperor. Order the size that matches your mattress and it will fit exactly, with no overhang and no gap.

Can I attach my existing headboard?

Yes. Our divan bases come with standard headboard fitting points, so any standard UK headboard bolts straight on. If you are buying one of our headboards at the same time, our delivery team fits it for you.

How does the ottoman storage open?

The whole sleeping platform lifts on gas pistons, mattress and bedding included, opening the full footprint of the bed as storage. The mechanism is SATRA tested to 250kg, so it rises and closes with one hand.

Can I see the fabrics before I order?

Please do. Swatches are free and we would rather you felt the fabric in your own room's light before committing. Browse all 85 colourways in the previewer above, then order up to 10 samples, delivered free by first class post.

How long does it take?

Every base is handcrafted to order in our British workshop. Your delivery date is confirmed at checkout, and our team brings it to your bedroom and assembles it with complimentary white glove service.

What's the guarantee?

Every base carries our 15 year guarantee as standard. Solid timber frames with reinforced joints, built by the same hands that have supplied Britain's most prestigious bed brands.

Can I see them in person?

Yes. Visit our showroom at 158 High Street, Brierley Hill, West Midlands, DY5 3BP, or book a private consultation. You can also call us on 0800 470 4615.
