The sofa beds Britain has been sleeping on since 1962.
For 58 years, the Sedac action inside almost every quality British sofa bed passed through our family business. After supplying the country's most respected makers, we are selling direct for the first time.
If you have ever slept on a quality British sofa bed, the chances are it passed through our hands.

The Quiet Half-Century
Sixty years inside the sofa beds you already trusted.
From 1962 to 2020, our family held the exclusive UK distribution rights for the Sedac action: the precision-engineered mechanism that turns a serious sofa into a serious bed.
Every Sedac sofa bed sold in Britain over those 58 years passed through our warehouse before it was upholstered, branded, and sent to a showroom floor.
You will not have heard our name. The makers who bought from us did not advertise where the action came from. That was the point.
The Houses We Supplied
The British names you already know bought from us.
Among many others. For nearly six decades, the most respected names in British upholstery sourced their sofa bed actions through us.
What Is the Sedac Action
The mechanism the trade quietly relied on.
The Sedac action is the steel folding frame that converts a sofa into a flat, supportive bed. It is the part of a sofa bed that determines whether the experience is good or quietly miserable.
For 58 years, it was the action British upholsterers specified when the sofa bed had to last and the night had to be comfortable. Now the same engineering goes into ours.
A First in 60 Years
The makers' price. Without the makers.
For 58 years we sold to the people who sold to you. The same action, the same fabrics, the same construction has reached the public via three or four mark-ups along the way. We are now selling our sofa beds directly. The engineering is unchanged. The price reflects the route.
