Handcrafted Double Bed Frames

Our collection of double beds (queen size beds) brings together comfort, proportion, and enduring craftsmanship. From the outset, each double bed frame is made with care, using traditional techniques that prioritise strength, balance, and long-term support. When paired with the right mattress, the bed frame works in harmony to create a stable and comfortable sleeping surface suited to everyday use.

In terms of style, iron beds offer a timeless, architectural look that works equally well in classic and modern interiors. Because of their strength, they are an excellent choice for a double bed frame used daily. By contrast, brass beds introduce warmth and visual depth, creating a softer and more traditional feel that suits guest rooms and principal bedrooms alike. Meanwhile, nickel beds provide a lighter, more contemporary finish. As a result, they reflect light gently and help rooms feel more open and balanced.

Although each material has its own character, every frame is built to the same high standard. This means consistent mattress support and long-lasting stability. Ultimately, when the bed frame and mattress are chosen together, a double bed becomes a well-balanced centrepiece that supports better sleep and lasting comfort without overwhelming the space.
