In 3–4 weeks, in our Derbyshire workshop
Order by Sunday 22 November for delivery before Christmas.
Every bed on this page is made to order in our workshop in the Derbyshire Dales, from solid Scandinavian redwood with chunky 95mm square posts. No veneer, no MDF, no chipboard. Our two farmhouse beds share the same frame and panelled footboard: the Bamford has a panelled headboard to match, and the Ladybower a wooden X headboard. Both come in double, king and super king, finished by hand in Medium Oak hard wax oil. Each bed is made in 3–4 weeks, delivered free by a 2-man team, and comes with our 15 Year Warranty. Need a different size? Get in touch and we'll make it.

Which size bed frame do I need?
Choose the frame by your mattress, then check the room. Our frames are made to fit standard UK mattress sizes, and because the posts and caps are chunky, the bed is wider and longer than the mattress it holds. Both beds come in these sizes.
| Size | Mattress (W × L) | Bed overall (W × L) | Headboard (W × H) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Double (4ft 6in) | 135 × 190cm | 169 × 222.5cm | 169 × 120cm |
| King (5ft) | 150 × 200cm | 184 × 232.5cm | 184 × 120cm |
| Super King (6ft) | 180 × 200cm | 214 × 232.5cm | 214 × 120cm |
Allow about 60cm of clear floor down each side and at the foot. The side rails sit 17cm off the floor, so there is room for storage boxes underneath. Single, small double, emperor and custom sizes are made to order: just ask.
Our beds
Each bed is named after a place in the Peak District: Bamford, a village in the Hope Valley, and Ladybower Reservoir just north-west of it. More designs are on the way.
Solid redwood, not veneer
Our beds are made from solid Scandinavian redwood, a slow-grown pine that is dense, straight-grained and stable, in heavy sections: 95mm square posts, 45mm side rails and solid slats. That is what gives a chunky wooden bed frame its weight and keeps it solid. The slats rest on solid timber ledgers along each side and on a centre rail with its own legs, so they are supported in three places. Prefer hardwood? We can make either bed in solid oak to order.
Medium Oak finish
Every bed is finished by hand in Medium Oak hard wax oil, a warm mid-brown that sits well with oak floors and painted walls. Medium Oak is the colour of the finish; the timber underneath is redwood. Hard wax oil soaks into the wood rather than sitting on top like a lacquer, so it feels like wood, wipes clean and can be touched up at home if it gets scuffed.
Will it get up the stairs?
A solid wood bed this size can't come in one piece, so it arrives in parts and goes together in about 30 minutes with two people. The headboard and footboard each come in one piece; the headboard is the largest part. Every product page has a size guide image for each size showing every part and how big it is, so you can check it will go up your stairs and round the landing before you order.
Made to order in Derbyshire
Nothing here is held in a warehouse. Your bed is built after you order, in our workshop at Tansley near Matlock, and takes 3–4 weeks. It is delivered free across the UK mainland by a 2-man team, with a 3-hour time slot and live tracking on the day. Every bed comes with a 15 Year Warranty. Want to see one first? You are welcome to visit the workshop; just call or WhatsApp so we can set it up.
Questions people ask
What size bed frame do I need?
Buy the frame for the mattress you have or want: a double takes a 135 x 190cm mattress, a king 150 x 200cm and a super king 180 x 200cm. Then check the room. A chunky frame is wider and longer than the mattress, so our king is 184 x 232.5cm overall. Allow about 60cm clear down each side and at the foot to walk round it.
What's the difference between a king and a super king?
Both are 200cm long. A UK king mattress is 150cm wide and a super king is 180cm, so a super king gives each person 15cm more. King and super king beds are the sizes growing fastest; a double is 135 x 190cm.
Are your beds solid wood?
Yes, solid wood all the way through: 95mm square redwood posts, 45mm side rails, solid timber slats on timber ledgers and a centre rail with its own legs. There is no veneer, MDF or chipboard anywhere.
Is pine good for a bed frame?
Yes, if it is thick enough and well jointed. Ours is slow-grown Scandinavian redwood, a dense, straight-grained pine, used in heavy sections. It is softer than oak, so it can mark, but a hard wax oil finish lets you sand a mark back and re-oil it at home.
Can I have an oak bed frame?
Yes. We can make the Bamford or the Ladybower in solid European oak. Get in touch for a quote. The Medium Oak on the standard bed is the colour of the finish; the timber is redwood.
Will the bed fit up my stairs?
The bed arrives in parts: the headboard and footboard each in one piece, two side rails, a centre rail and two runs of slats. The headboard is the largest piece, and the size guide image for each size on the product page shows every part and how big it is. If your stairs or landing are tight, call us on 01629 343350 before you order.
Does it come assembled?
No, it comes in parts so it goes through doors and up stairs. It takes two people about 30 minutes to put together: the side rails fix to the posts with hidden connectors, the centre rail sits down the middle and the slats lay in either side.
Is there room for storage under the bed?
Yes. The side rails on both beds sit 17cm off the floor, so there is 17cm clear underneath for under-bed storage boxes.
Does it come with a mattress?
No, the bed frame is sold on its own. It is made to fit standard UK mattress sizes.
Do you make other sizes?
Yes. Every bed is made to order, so we can make a single, small double, emperor or any custom size, and a taller or lower headboard. Tell us what you need and we'll quote.
How long does a bed take?
Every bed is made to order in our Derbyshire workshop and takes 3–4 weeks, then it is delivered free to the UK mainland by a 2-man team, with a 3-hour time slot and live tracking on the day.
What does the 15 Year Warranty cover?
Every bed comes with our 15 Year Warranty against manufacturing faults. The details are on the guarantee page.
