Do John Lewis Offer Metal Beds?

Yes — And They Include Designs from Wrought Iron & Brass Bed Co.

For more than 150 years, John Lewis has been one of the UK’s most trusted retailers, known for its commitment to quality, craftsmanship, and products made to stand the test of time. From its beginnings as a single drapery shop on Oxford Street in 1864 to the nationwide department store we know today, John Lewis has built its reputation on sourcing well-made, beautifully designed homewares from manufacturers who share the same values of integrity and longevity.

It’s this shared philosophy that has shaped our ongoing partnership. Wrought Iron & Brass Bed Co. is proud to continue supplying John Lewis with a curated selection of our handcrafted iron beds — each one forged, cast, and finished in our family-run North Norfolk workshop. Many customers first discover our designs while browsing the John Lewis bedroom furniture department, recognising the quality, weight, and traditional craftsmanship that set our beds apart.

For those who want to explore the full collection beyond what’s stocked in-store or online at any given time, every one of our iron beds is also available directly through our website.

Below, we highlight the three designs that remain favourites among John Lewis shoppers: the Sophie, Edward, and Lily.
