Handcrafted Metal Beds and British Wool Mattresses
Traditional Craftsmanship, Naturally Comfortable
Discover a collection of handmade metal beds shaped by family tradition and quiet expertise. For over 20 years, our family company has made beds with patience and purpose. We focus on quality, never volume, and we never mass produce.
Our iron beds, brass beds, and refined nickel designs are crafted entirely in Britain. Every metal bed frame is made to order using traditional techniques. As a result, each bed feels considered, substantial, and built for life. From wrought iron bed frames to elegant brass and contemporary nickel finishes, every design endures. Skilled hands shape each piece, not automated production lines. That difference shows in both strength and comfort.
We are the only metal bed maker officially recognised by Made in Britain®. We also proudly hold a Royal Warrant of Appointment to His Majesty King Charles III. These honours reflect decades of consistent craftsmanship. Every bed is handmade in our Norfolk workshop on the Sandringham Estate. Sustainable materials and careful finishing define our work.
Complete your bed with a natural wool mattress made in the UK. Filled with British wool and natural fibres, it delivers breathable comfort for generations.

Our range of metal bed frames are designed for strength, simplicity, and timeless style. We specialise in wrought iron bed frames made using traditional methods. Therefore, every joint feels solid and built to last.
You can choose from classic iron beds, elegant brass beds, or refined nickel beds. Each finish offers a different look while maintaining the same structural quality. Importantly, all frames support modern mattresses without movement or noise.
We offer standard sizes, including king size, as well as bespoke options. Because we make everything ourselves, flexibility comes naturally. As a result, your bed fits both your space and your lifestyle.
A good bed frame needs the right support underneath. That is why we offer carefully designed bed bases and divans.
These bases work seamlessly with our metal bed frames.Each base provides even weight distribution and long-term stability. As a result, your mattress performs exactly as it should. This is especially important for natural fillings.
Our bed bases are practical, understated, and built for durability.They never distract from the bed frame above. Instead, they quietly enhance comfort and support. Whether paired with iron beds or brass beds, our bases complete the bed properly. Simply put, good foundations always matter.
Our award-winning British wool mattresses are designed for natural, breathable comfort. Each wool mattress uses British wool sourced from trusted farms. Therefore, every filling supports temperature regulation and moisture control.
We avoid synthetic foams and chemical treatments completely. Instead, we rely on natural fibres that work with your body. As a result, sleep feels cooler, calmer, and more supportive.
These wool mattresses pair perfectly with our metal bed frames. They also suit both slatted bases and divans. Importantly, they are available in all standard sizes, including king size.
If you value honest materials, these mattresses make perfect sense.
As Featured In
There’s not many with a story like ours…
Some of my fondest memories are of climbing into my grandparents’ tall iron bed — a place of safety and stories. Years later, as a mum, I wanted to recreate that feeling for my children. But I couldn’t find a bed made with soul here in Britain. So, I decided to change that.
Wrought Iron & Brass Bed Co. was born out of love, nostalgia, and a desire to craft iron beds that carry meaning. From our Norfolk workshop, every frame is forged using British-sourced materials and time-honoured methods. We’re proud to be recognised as the only iron bed company in the UK certified by Made in Britain®.
In 2023, we expanded our range to include handmade mattresses, filled with pure British wool from trusted farms. Like our beds, they are crafted for sustainability, comfort, and longevity.
This is more than furniture — it’s about creating comfort that lasts a lifetime. Our iron and metal beds are built for those who value heritage, beauty, and tradition.
Warmly,
Amanda Oldfield
Where Craftsmanship Still Counts
As the last independently owned British metal bed company, we handcraft every frame in our Norfolk workshop. From wrought iron bed frames to polished nickel and hand-turned brass, every detail is formed by hand with precision and pride. Unlike mass-produced beds, our designs are never outsourced. We use certified British iron and brass, cold-bend each curve by hand, and finish every joint to ensure strength and silence.
We’re so confident in our work that we offer a lifetime guarantee on every frame. Because a metal bed should not only be beautiful — it should be built to last.
