bedframes and mattresses

bedframes and mattresses all made at our water powered workshop in wales

sorry if this site is not the all singing all dancing number that might be expected.

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 don`t see what you are looking for on the website, please e-mail with enquiries



dimensions quoted are mattress sizes: overall frame size is + 2" width and + 5" length
(ie 4`6``*6`3`` overall size = 4`8``*6`8``)
beds and mattresses can be made to any size - sometimes for the same price!

clearance under siderail is normally 8"(200mm). most beds can be made with increased height, up to 15"(300mm) for all and 24"(600mm) for some. for non-standard height, width or length please e-mail with particulars.

nearly all the beds shown are in pine: we`re waiting to get some new pics of beech frames.
slats on all frames are pine. double beds have centre supports. colour stains +10% on frame price

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).

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.

  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.

 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

  to landfill: worth checking.
