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.
