“Great service, the bed arrived quickly and ontime. It was simple to assemble, with easy to understand instructions. My grandmother who stayed with us shortly afterwards said it was the most comfortable bed she'd ever slept in. Thank you”

“The most perfect bed I have ever had. Excellent quality simple and reliable construction easy assembly. And it is also very important that the bed was delivered to Lithuania for an additional fee right up to the door of my country homestead, which other sellers cannot provide. Highly recommend. Buying from Original Bedstead Company is definitely worth it for international buyers as well.”

“Excellent service all around. I ordered a bed in a particular colour but had a change of heart once it arrived. I reached out by email and an exchange was arranged immediately at no additional cost which was greatly appreciated. I'm living in Ireland and the delivery took only a handful of days, arriving even sooner than the estimate listed on the website. The bed itself is beautiful, and considerably sturdier than I expected. Unlike almost every other bed I've encountered, it doesn't wobble or creak, even when forcibly shaken. It is absolutely rock solid. Something that is worth being aware of when choosing a finish is that the beds appear duller pictured on the website than they do in person. By this I mean that they have more of a shine in person. The white and ivory colours in particular appear almost matt on the website, whereas in person even the satin finish has more of a glossy appearance than this. I believe this could be due to the environment in which they were photographed or the lighting conditions. It is subtle but worth considering.”

“Love my upholstered iron bed. It was tricky to find what I was looking for and I was pleasantly surprised by finding the OBC. The under bed storage are perfect without making the bed bulky like ottoman styles. They sent fabric samples to help me make my decision. Placing the order was easy over the phone. After my bed arrived I decided a slightly bigger headboard would suit the bedroom better and I was able to get one ordered. Hopefully I'll love this alteration when it arrives!”

“Having been badly let down by another company that failed to deliver my bed, I found myself bed less in the middle of lockdown! However, I re-started my search and then realised this was serendipity - I fell in love with the beds from The Original Bedstead Company. I phoned through, had a chat and placed an order. All went smoothly, my bedstead and mattress were duly delivered and I am delighted! Set it up too high at first, but easy to lower. Find it much easier to make the bed as higher than a divan, lovely to sleep in - added a topper to the mattress as I do enjoy the softness. The bed looks perfect in my newly decorated room and is completely stable - I love climbing in every night and enjoy a better sleep than I have in years! Nice company - superb beds!”

“Telephone service was prompt, polite and friendly. Clear, precise explanations regarding delivery. Our beautiful bed much admired by friends was delivered several weeks earlier than expected. We highly recommend this company.”

“I was very impressed with the selection of beds I viewed on line. The bed I chose arrived on the day allocated and my son-in-law had no problem assembling it. The bed is fabulous and really completes my bedroom adding a touch of class. A very well made bed. I would have no trouble in recommending this firm to anyone.”

“We received our Olivia Bedstead last week and are delighted with it. It is exceptionally strong and the colour, Cream, is lovely. After having drawer divans for many years it is great to have space under the bedstead which we are able to keep clean and dust free. We built the bed together in a couple of hours with instructions that were easy to follow, altogether an easy and very rewarding job. There are one or two little creaks on the frame, nothing too worrying and hope that tightening the bolts will sort this out. The slats are extremely well made and do not creak! A very big thank you to The Original Bedstead Company for making us a 6ft wide bedstead with a single bed length. We are very happy to recommend your Company to anyone looking for a very well made and gorgeous bedstead.”

“Cannot thank OBC enough! My request for the finish of the bed wasn't straightforward, but they couldn't have been more helpful. The final product is exactly what we wanted- thank you so much!”

“Ordered our bed during the COVID Lockdown. Our bed arrived on time. The delivery guys were great. We are so pleased with our bed (after we managed to put it together) It’s beautiful, sturdily made and most importantly of all very very comfy. Worth every penny”

“So, I originally placed a negative review because my order was four weeks late. However, the company has been VERY apologetic, and bent over backwards to get my order to me today as soon as it was ready. They also threw in assembly for me free of charge to make up for the delay. They have been really responsive throughout and did their best to help, and to make amends. The chap who delivered and assembled was really friendly and did a great job, and the bed looks absolutely amazing. I'm very pleased with my order and, actually, despite the delay would definitely recommend them to others (and order again!). Thanks, Original Bed Co.”

“Had I commissioned a bed to be made to my exacting requirements, [supremely comfy; high floor- to- mattress top- distance; low-ended, un-fussy base; with easy storage that is accessible without scrabbling on the floor] then I would have ended up with a clone of the bed that I purchased from The Original Bedstead Company - and at a fraction of the cost. I love everything about it and it looks beautiful. The company [Nick] was easy to contact for queries prior to my ordering and, after delivery. Delivery was 'as described' and hassle-free.”

“I ordered my first bed and it arrived dented, then I ordered a sprayed bed which took 5 weeks. When this arrived it hasn’t been sprayed to a high standard. The paint had run and it had been painted over a black bed, the paint began to come off. Because they had not even primed the bed. The screws for the bed were bent, the planks for the bed some were chipped, they tried to blame this on me.”

Dear Lesley, Many thanks for your review. Sorry to hear of your disappointment. Some models do take longer than others, with the lead time for each design being advertised on their particular product page. Our sprayer is very conscientious, and any drips are sanded and resprayed to ensure a smooth finish. I'm unsure how he missed this one but I will pass on your disappointment to him. In terms of the chips, I can see that these are positioned under where the collars of the Selkirk sit. Because these are made of metal and have fairly sharp hidden inner edges, when pushed tightly into place there can be some chipping under the collar. This is completely hidden, and I can assure you though that the paint has completely bonded, hence why it has only occurred in this particular position. We pre-fit each screw fully to ensure that they are straight and have no cross threading, so it would be great if you could send us a picture as per our telephone conversation, allowing us to get an understanding of which ones were bent. Finally, in regards to our heavy gauge sprung slats, we have used these for many years, and should customer's have any issues we are more than happy to send out replacements straight away. I've been onto your order and can see that your full refund has already been processed in accordance with our 30 day no quibbles return policy. Best wishes, The Original Bed Company

“Thrilled to bits with the integrity and beauty of The Original Bedstead Company upholstered bed. Structurally, the bed is extremely sound.....the quality is clearly evident upon assembly, which as suggested by the enclosed directions is a two person job. The bed was delivered in a timely manner considering it had to make its way to The United States. Overall, I'm VERY pleased with my super king Yushan Deep Buttoned upholstered bed. Bravo!”

“Really great bed - adds to the comfort of the mattress and makes quite a statement in our bedroom. However it was not easy to put together and was definitely a 2 person job but the 2 hours spent sweating over it was well worth it. A possible decision to lower the base will not be undertaken lightly!!”

“Great customer service and selection of beds and sizes. Only place I could find a plain black metal frame for a EU king size mattress, and I'm so pleased with it. The prices are good and delivery was super efficient. Also, the bed was simple to put together. Very happy.”
