Upholstered beds

How to get upholstered beds to you quickly

If you’re hunting for an upholstered bed, and you’re anything like us, you want it to be tasteful and comfy -and you probably want it delivered fairly sharpish.

When we came up with the idea of The Sleep Room we kept this firmly in our minds. So we devised a system of “carcasses and covers” for each fabric or upholstered bed. Basically what this means is that we hold a stock of double, king and super king size upholstered beds in our warehouse and then simply slip on a loose cover in your chosen colour when we deliver.

This probably doesn’t sound particularly revolutionary, but oddly enough it didn’t appear that anyone else was doing it. When we asked other bed retailers why this was, they said it was because it was too difficult to make a loose cover look like anything other than a baggy sack. We thought this was ridiculous and, several prototypes later, we had it perfected and they looked gorgeous. We were ready for business.

So What’s So Great About This System?

It enables us to always keep a stock of upholstered and fabric beds in a range of lovely colours which we can deliver and assemble in your bedroom within just a few days (rather than 6-12 weeks you often get elsewhere). It also means that you can remove the fabric covers and wash them when they get dirty. And what’s more, if you feel like a change of colour as the years go by, you can give us a bell and we can pop a different one in the post to you.

We should say here, to avoid any confusion, that our French style beds, which some people refer to as sleigh beds, and others as upholstered beds or fabric beds, do not have removable covers: these classy numbers are made in the traditional way where the covers are fixed by a skilled upholsterer. We can though have any one of these double, king or super king size beds reupholstered in any fabric or leather of your choice –please just give us a bell to arrange.

While you can see all of our fabric swatches on our site, we know that viewing something on screen isn’t the same as seeing it in real life. So we offer a free swatch service where we’ll pop the samples for your fabric bed in the next post to you.

Can I Get A Different Fabric From The Ones You Offer?

The simple answer is yes. Although we find that most people prefer natural colours like stone and off-white, if rustic red is more your thing then we have a book of plain fabrics you can choose from. It usually takes 2 weeks to make up bespoke covers like this. On the whole though, unless you have your heart set on a colourful upholstered fabric bed, we always advise you go for something neutral as colourful throws, cushions and blankets often do the trick far more easily.

As always, all our fabric, upholstered or leather beds come under our free returns policy: if you don’t love them as much as we do we’ll come and collect for free. You risk nothing.
