There are a variety of
bed styles available, with different panels and posts. These
beds are hand made in mahogany, ash
and oak. Beds are usually made to standard mattress sizes,
but our mattress supplier will make any size.

Stephen started by developing the Open
Four Poster Bed, which is basically a bed consisting of
four posts, a head board, foot board, and cornice (or tester).
Once he had sorted out the design and fittings, for strength
and easy assembly, he then went on to the fully panelled
version, which is now called the Lyons Hall Four Poster
Bed. Some people (guest houses, hotels, bed and breakfast
etc), prefer a simplified four poster bed, that basically
consists of four posts and a cornice. This we call the Juniper,
available with a panelled headboard, as the other beds,
or with an upholstered headboard. Since then, he has developed various designs
of panels, from raised fielded panels, single and double
beaded panels, through to the more ornate Diamond design,
gothic arches, and Linenfold.
There are also a choice of
posts included turned, fluted and twisted posts. We tailor
the bed to your specifications in mattress size, timber
and finish, and can even include a carving service for clients
initials, insignias, family crests, matching other furniture,
etc.
We endeavour to use sustainable locally
grown hardwoods wherever possible, which are carefully selected,
planked, then air and kiln dried on the premises, thus maintaining
quality control throughout the whole process, from the growing
tree, to your restful four poster bed. To accompany our beds, we are able to arrange
the making of curtains, vallences, counter panes, bolsters
etc. although these are priced separately.
We also supply
a wide range of high quality, handmade bed bases and mattresses.
Further information available upon request. Stephen has also set up The Four Poster
Bed Company website, which can also be found on the internet.
Due to the success of the web we have shipped beds to the
US and Europe. Four posters are easily assembled, needing
no specialist skills, just the bed components, an instruction
booklet, a block of wood and hammer, a little common sense,
and a bedroom in which to put it.
