What iron bed sizes are available?

As our beds are handmade to your exact specifications, for most designs, we're able to offer the complete range of standard UK sizes, including single, double, king, super king and more. If you have special requirements, you can also take advantage of our bespoke service to create a stunning bed that's unique to your home. In addition, as each bed is built for you alone, we offer a wide range of colours, a choice of bed knobs and bases, as well as the option to add a luxury mattress.

Only if you have a mouse! No, our beds don't squeak... As the majority of our beds are welded together, there are very few moving parts that could make a squeak. You'll usually find that cheaper beds with a lower build quality tend to squeak, as the frame is less rigid and flatpack assembly requires more moving parts.

Q: Why choose Wrought Iron & Brass Bed Co?

Our story began with a disappointment: two iron beds we ordered for our children over a decade ago. Despite the enticing descriptions on the company's website, what arrived bore no resemblance to the heirlooms that we'd pictured. So, over a cup of tea (the source of many good ideas), we decided right then to do things differently. Over the coming months, we created two beautiful handmade iron beds that were built to last a lifetime. To this day, those two beds are housed in our workshop here on the royal estate of Sandringham, Norfolk. It serves as a reminder of our mission: to design and build wrought iron beds of unparalleled quality and exceptional value that can be handed down from generation to generation. Loved by many for their simple, traditional designs, we hope you'll consider our full range of iron beds, still handcrafted with love by our skilled Norfolk craftspeople in the same flawless manner as they were over a decade ago. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us and we'll be happy to help.

Q: How long will delivery take?

With each bed handmade to order, delivery from the time of your order can vary; however, for our wrought iron beds, a rough rule of thumb is 4-6 weeks .

Q: Cast iron vs. wrought iron: what's the difference?

As you'll probably come across these two terms while purchasing an iron bed, it's worth understanding that there are some important differences. Wrought iron is a more ancient, malleable material that has been heated and then handworked with tools. Cast iron is a more brittle, relatively modern variant that has been melted, poured into a mould and allowed to solidify. In general, cast iron is more common, especially from the Industrial Age onwards, because it's often cheaper to mass-produce using moulds; whereas, wrought iron is less common but allows for finer, more ornate handworked detail.

Q: Are iron beds better than wood?

Of course, the comparison is entirely a matter of opinion and we could not tell you what's right for your own sleep sanctuary. However, a few benefits of a well-made iron bed are: Durability : the sturdiness of metal can result in better foundational support, while breaks, scratches, stains, marks and mould are all less likely. Variety : all sorts of designs are available in a staggering array of colours. Easy cleaning and maintenance : you can simply wipe down an iron bed.

Cast iron vs. wrought iron: what’s the difference?

When you purchase one of our iron beds, you will encounter certain terms that are important to understand. Cast iron is a widely used material in many products due to its ability to be mass-produced using moulds, which involves melting the metal and allowing it to solidify. However, cast iron is a brittle material unlike the wrought iron that we use in our beds. Our wrought iron is stronger and more durable because it is heated and handcrafted with tools. This creates a secure frame for your bed that will stand the test of time.

Are iron beds better than wood or divan’s?

As individual preferences dictate the perfect sleeping environment, we refrain from imposing our views on what’s best for you. Nonetheless, we can highlight the advantages of investing in a robustly constructed iron bed. For one, its sturdy metal structure offers unmatched support and protection against damage such as scratches and stains. Additionally, you have a wide range of designs and colours to choose from, making it easier to customize your sleeping quarters. Finally, maintenance is a breeze since all it takes is a simple wipe-down with a dry cloth to keep your iron bed looking pristine.
