The design
Ashbourne
A tall, winged headboard. A low sloped footboard. Turned wooden legs that lift the whole frame off the floor.
The Ashbourne is the heritage shape in the range. Plain upholstery across the headboard, no buttoning, no channelling, just a clean stretched panel that reads as quietly confident rather than decorated. The winged sides curl forward just enough to frame the pillows without enclosing the bed. The footboard sits low and slopes back, so the bed feels grounded but never heavy.

As a non storage base, the bed is finished with turned walnut legs in a classic profile. They lift the frame visually and let the floor breathe underneath, which is why the Ashbourne works so well in barn conversions, period cottages and rooms where wooden floors are doing half the work.
Choose an ottoman or adjustable base instead, and the legs are removed. The base sits flush to the floor and the full footprint becomes deep storage. Same silhouette from the headboard up, more space underneath where it counts.
This is the bed for someone who's been looking at heritage shapes from Loaf or Sweetpea and Willow and finding them either underbuilt or wildly overpriced.
Crafted not assembled. Built by hand in our British workshop. Solid timber frame, reinforced corners, slats engineered for heavy mattresses.
Made your way. Over 100 fabrics across velvets, weaves and bouclés. The image shows a soft mushroom velvet but the same shape works in cream linen, deep oat boucle or a dark heritage tone.
Want to see it first? Order swatches before you commit, 50p each. Hold them in evening light, against the floor, against the wall.
Ashbourne. Heritage silhouette, modern build. Made in Britain.
The mattress rests directly on top of the upholstered side rails rather than dropping inside the frame. The rails sit hidden, so the bed reads as one clean unbroken upholstered line.
Step three, explained properly
Five bases. One decision that changes the room.
The base changes the height, the floor line and how much you can store. Non storage sits on legs. Every storage and adjustable base sits flush to the floor. Tap a base to choose it.
Why it takes five weeks
Your bed does not exist yet. That is the point.
Nothing sits in a warehouse waiting for you. Once you order, your frame is cut, upholstered and checked by hand in our British workshop, in your fabric and your size.
Honest pricing
One price ladder. No sales.
We do not discount, so the price you see today is the price everyone pays. Every size and base adds a fixed amount, shown here in full.

A note on the Ashbourne
“The Ashbourne is our heritage shape, plain and winged. I like it most in a room with wooden floors, where the turned legs let the floor show.”Gee Golisz, Founder
Before you order
Questions about made to order
Why does it take five weeks?
Your bed is built after you order it, in your fabric and your size. The 25 working days cover cutting, framing, upholstery, a final inspection and booking your delivery slot.
Can I get it sooner?
Add Fast Track Production for £300 and your bed moves to the front of the build queue, with delivery within two weeks. Fast Track is available to mainland UK addresses only. If you need a bed within days, our Quick Ship range holds a small number of finished beds ready to go.
Can I change my order?
Yes. Change your size, base, fabric or feet free of charge within 24 hours of ordering. After that your fabric is cut and the build has started.
Will it fit up my stairs?
Your bed arrives in separate parts, the headboard, the base and the fittings, and our team assembles it in your room. The headboard is the largest single piece. If access is tight, send a photo of your stairs, landing and doorway to sales@thesleepco.com and we will check before we cut.
What if it is not right for me?
Every bed carries our 90-Night Comfort Exchange, made to order beds included. Because your bed is built for you, it cannot be returned for a refund unless it is faulty or not what you ordered. If it arrives faulty, we put it right at our cost.
How is it delivered?
By our own team, not a courier. Choose drop off or two man installation above and we will not ask again at checkout.
