Delivery Method
Nothing to pay on the day. The price above is final, including delivery and VAT.
Our beds are hand built to last by the highest skilled makers, here in the heart of the UK using high quality components and machines for precision cutting
Frames are constructed from high quality FSC sourced beech, with plywood and MDF panels, fibre and foam for padding, and your chosen fabric.
With a 15 year warranty on bed frames you can rest easy knowing you’re in safe hands.
Your bed is delivered and installed by our own expert teams, not third party couriers. Thoughtful service from start to sleep.
Your frame does not exist until you order it. That is the wait, and it is the reason the bed fits your room rather than a warehouse forecast.
Your bed is made for you, so we could refuse returns entirely. Most makers do. Instead you have thirty nights from delivery to change your mind on the frame, and you do not need to give us a reason.
We ask only that it comes back in a condition we can resell, so no marks, no smoke and no pet hair. Collection is free if you exchange for a different bed, or £180 if you would rather have a refund.
Which is why we offer you fabric swatches before you commit, and why you can change your specification at no cost within 48 hours of ordering.

The headboard is the bit you fall for. The base is the bit you live with. Click any card and the configurator follows.

The headboard is the awkward measurement, not the finished bed. Harper arrives as components and is assembled in your room. On the ottoman and adjustable bases the lid needs clear space above the mattress to open fully, so allow for a sloping ceiling or a low window sill.

Yes. Non Storage sits on short legs. Ottoman and adjustable bases sit flush to the floor with no legs, so the full footprint becomes storage. Cambourne, Chesterfield and Snuggler keep their legs on every base.
