It is with great sadness that we share the news of Brian’s sudden passing in August 2024.
Brian was the heart and soul of alphabeds, and his ingenuity and skill touched everyone who worked with him and every customer he served.
At this time, alphabeds has paused production and is no longer taking orders, while his family considers the future of the business.
We would like to thank all our customers and friends for their support, loyalty, and understanding during this difficult time.

we`re guessing that you are a returning customer wondering if we still make the bed and mattress that you bought years ago - this profile fits 99% of our customers
|

so there`s no great sales pitch - you probably have a good idea of what you want already ... but if you are a new visitor you can be reassured that we can rely on our reputation so strongly

If you live in Naples you can hang your bedding out to air on your balcony in the Mediterranean sun. However if you live in Clapham this is not a dependable course of action. So we announce -ta da!
The Duvet Rail
As you can see the tail end of this bed is high enough that you can drape your duvet over it allowing it to air nicely. So simple even a teenager can do it!
The bed pictured is in beech. Head end is as per type d/s. All other headboard types will also fit.
We were surprised to find that this simple modification has not previously been offered for sale (according to google anyway).
another alphabeds first!

mattress types
All wool used is Organic and UK origin
All double mattresses have side handles. If you would like side handles on a single, please let us know.
Whitecroft and Pembroke have a layer of manmade fibre underneath the Organic wool: this gives them a slightly
springier feel than the Dunbar or Monmouth.
Tenby: spring interior, manmade fibre fillings, cotton stripe cover, firm or extra firm spring
Whitecroft: spring interior,organic wool fillings,plain cotton cover, no fire retardents, firm or extra firm spring
Dunbar: as per Whitecroft but with 100% organic wool padding (2500GSM per side). Except for the zip this mattress is fully biodegradeable.
Brecon: pocket spring, manmade fibre fillings,cotton stripe cover, standard or firm spring
Pembroke: pocket spring,organic wool fillings,plain cotton cover,no fire retardents, standard or firm spring
Monmouth: as Pembroke but with only Organic wool (2500 GSM per side) padding. For the same spring unit the Monmouth
will feel a little firmer than the Pembroke
Wrexham: Natural latex foam core (180mm), organic wool surround and plain cotton cover, no added fire retardent.
Cambria: Latex and coir fibre core (180mm) organic wool surround and plain cotton cover, no added fire retardent.
2'6/3'x6'3 3'6x6'3 4'/4'6x6'3 5`x6'6 5'6x6'6 6'x6'6
75/90x190 105x190 120/135x190 150x200 165x200 180x200
Tenby £185 £265 £355 £410 £570 £605
Whitecroft £335 £420 £525 £575 £665 £695
Dunbar £425 £475 £635 £795 £855 £895
Brecon £370 £465 £695 £810 £930 £1025
Pembroke £525 £610 £835 £980 £1080 £1190
Monmouth £570 £675 £920 £1050 £1180 £1260
Wrexham* £915* £1375 £1375 £1575 £1655 £1685
Cambria* £1050* £1525 £1525 £1675 £1790 £1920
Regarding Wrexham and Cambria: matress pads are either single (up to 3`) or double 4`6`` and bigger.
So a 3`6`` or a 4`0`` is same price as a 4`6``. Sorry...
Also Latex prices (like many raw materials) have rocketed, more than doubling in last 3 years.
organic wool
Whitecroft,Pembroke, Wrexham,Cambria, Monmouth and Dunbar are made with British Organic wool.
on replacing your mattress...
Somewhat counter-intuitively a new mattress of the same type may feel softer
than the old one: on the old one the springs may be still firm but the padding
will have packed down hard over the years. The new one with fresh padding can
by contrast feel softer. This usually takes a few days to get used to
(and is especially true of Extra Firm mattresses).
delivery
if you are unable to help with the delivery please let me know beforehand.
as a one man business I have to rely to some extent on the kindness of
strangers...
large mattresses may require extra help - especially if these are to go up more than one flight of stairs.
if it looks like extra help will be required and there are no strapping teenagers to hand, I will let you
know of any possible costs beforehand.
alphabeds delivers usually once a month to London and surrounds
delivery outside of these areas is possible: please email for details.
example price: for a double bed and mattress in london postcode area delivery will
be £28 if customer can help with mattress NB: since the
introduction of the ULEZ and congestion charge there may be some additional cost to
affected areas.
all alphabeds items are individually made to order - we do not keep stock as there are
too many variations possible.
assembly
of the 40,000+ beds made in the last 30 years or so about 90% have been successfully
assebled by the owners.if however you would like your bed to be assembled on delivery
then this is usually possible. please mention this when you make an order.
single bed assembly £15, double 120/135cm £20,150cm £25, 150cm+ £30
bunkbeds and high platform beds £30
alphabeds can take your old mattress for recycling (not landfill!)
single mattresses £25, doubles £35, kingsize £40, superking £45
all wooden bedframes £10 if ready dismantled, £25 if dismantling needed
N.B. we cannot recycle MDF/chipboard frames, only wood
your local council may have a (cheaper) bulky removals service - this may go
to landfill: worth checking.
all alphabeds products are made individually to customer order/requirements.
once an order is agreed it may not be possible to cancel it so please be sure
that size, type etc are correct before going ahead. products will be replaced
(or refunds made) if they are faulty or not as described but we cannot guarantee
to replace any article unless some fault or obvious discrepancy obtains.
