The new bed has arrived and it is a piece of quality furniture. It looks good, and the mechanism of the ottoman is so smooth. I’ve given it 4 stars because it was 8 weeks in the makings, not the 4/6... See more

Amazing quality and exceptional customer service

I purchased our bed 5 years ago and the service at the time was excellent. I contacted The English Bed Company recently as I needed to replace a few of slate holders (they got broken by our removal men in a recent move!) the service again was exceptional. The bed itself is of high quality and still in great condition even after a couple of moves.

Great quality

Love my bed, it is great the quality. The only downside is, I wanted a really high mattress. So my mattress is 35cm however the cushioning of the headboard and the footboard reduces the space alotted for the mattress reduces so the mattress fits extremely tight. So this bed probably needs a standard height mattress

Beautiful samples

Beautiful samples have been sent after a phonecall from customer service in which I was struggling to make a choice. I sent photos of our bedroom and furniture and then received two samples which perfectly compliment the furniture and wallpaper. I really like the velvet Heather sample and look forward to ordering soon.

We bought a Super king Austen Buttoned…

We bought a Super king Austen Buttoned bed from the English Bed Company back in July 2020 which had a 6-8 week lead time. It eventually turned up in November 2020 after a lot of chasing and very little communication from their side. Delivery failed the first attempt as the delivery team didn’t realise that the headboard came in 2 parts. We then had to wait for redelivery.
Fast forward to 2025 - the bed frame and drawers were broken. I reported it as the frame was guaranteed for 5 years. Inspection done and agreed that it was broken and fix was suggested by the assessor to the English bed company. That was 3 weeks ago and I’ve heard nothing about a fix despite chasing. On inspection, the bed had only 4 bits of wood (slats) across to support the mattress on a super king bed and rather than plywood, was just plain cardboard in between them. No support whatsoever. Beautiful looking bed but the quality, service and guarantee are questionable. Having just taken this £1200 bed to the tip, I would not buy from this company again. I have beds from other shops at home that are 10-12 years old and still going strong.

Hi Davina, we are very sorry to read about the difficulties you’ve had with your bed, both at the time of delivery and more recently. The delays, the problems with the frame, and the lack of communication you describe fall short of the standards we aim to provide.

We can confirm that replacement parts have already been ordered for your claim, and once they arrive a technician will be arranged to complete the repair. We apologise for the time this is taking and understand how frustrating it must be. Please contact our team directly so we can provide you with the latest update and make sure this is resolved for you.

We purchased a Viscount Memory Foam mattress with 2000 pocket springs. It’s wonderful so comfy & when you get into bed it feels it hugs you. The sales person was very helpful as I have bad Arthritis, so I no longer wake up with aches & pains. Would recommend this mattress & the English Bed Company for there help & service.

Hi Ann, thank you for your review. It's wonderful to hear that you love the quality of your new sofa and that it was exactly what you were looking for. We'll be sure to pass your kind words along to our delivery team as well. We hope you enjoy it for many years to come.

Really disappointed

UPDATE FOLLOWING RESPONSE - as you can see the company are still claiming there is no UK standard emperor size. However, it speaks volumes that they are all 200 x 200 with most major bed retailers.

Really disappointed. We ordered an emperor size bed frame from this company. When our emperor mattress arrived (from a different company) it is apparent the bed frame is nowhere near the right size. We ordered a UK size emperor mattress and the bed frame is from the ENGLISH BED COMPANY (clue is in the name) - but we are instead left hugely disappointed that the sizing wasnt flagged as non-standard to us when ordering - this should be plastered all over their website that their beds ONLY work with their own mattresses

We’re very sorry to hear of your disappointment. We understand how frustrating it must be to find your new mattress doesn’t fit as expected. To help avoid this, we do state on our Emperor bed product pages that our frames are designed to fit a 215cm x 215cm mattress. As there is no fixed UK standard for Emperor sizing, dimensions can vary between retailers.

We’ve already advised that, should you wish to order a 215 x 215cm mattress from us, we’ll do everything possible to have it delivered quickly. We’d also be happy to review the price for you, so you can enjoy your new bed without further delay.

Received my fabric samples promptly

Received my fabric samples promptly, they were really well packaged. I also asked for a brochure, this was gorgeous, really well put together and looked super professional. I have asked for several fabric samples from other companies, and not received them, what I liked about The English Bed Company was the professionalism... and the quality. Were now off to visit the show room, next weekend. I also like the fact that you can see what you're buying too! So having a Showroom, really is an added plus.
