Versailles Upholstered Silver Leaf bed

The very first And So To Bed store opened on London’s King’s Road nearly 40 years ago, founded by one of Britain’s leading specialists in antique beds. Facing a shortage of vintage pieces, he started to manufacture his own beds and, ever since then, the company has brought a special passion to bed design. Traditionalists at heart, the creative team take their inspiration from a vast array of historical designs, from the Louis Philippe lit bateau and Gothic four posters to brass Victorian bedsteads.

The And So To Bed collection includes many authentic copies of antique beds, but also offers contemporary interpretations of classic pieces - and it is never shy of big, dramatic designs worthy of a film set!

Bespoke British bed maker Vi-Spring shares the same craft values as And So To Bed, offering uncompromising levels of quality and luxury, individually constructing each bed around the customer’s requirements. The ‘Natural Luxury’ range takes this commitment to new heights, using the very best natural and sustainable materials to fill and cover each one; from pure cotton and linen mixes through to the softest 100% Shetland Isle wool and seductively indulgent silks. Headboards and divans too

beds made from wood, from leather, from brass and from forged and cast metal. They share an attention to detail and robust, hand finished construction that takes a bed beyond a fashion statement and turns it into an heirloom. The bed may be centre stage, but it always needs a supporting cast to show it off. And So To Bed makes stylish bedside tables, armoires, chests and dressing tables – as well as many smaller accessories including chairs, mirrors, stools and lamps. With looks ranging from Art Deco and French Provincial to the very versatile ‘Eclectic’ collection, there is inspiration throughout every showroom, making it easy to put together great looks which work right down to the last detail.

Colours range from traditionally crisp, snowy whites to more modern looks. There are also bedspreads, pillows, duvets and sumptuous quilts, together with the ultimate in bed comforts - cashmere blankets and throws.
