Product : Adjustable Bed Base
‘Hi Elena, The adjustable bed based arrived today. I’ve been to the lumber yard for the wood braces and to Screwfix to get a circular saw. I followed your advice of making the central wood supports about one centimetre shorter and it’s worked like a charm. Everything is now in place and the bed is finally firm and comfortable! I only wish I had contacted you a long time ago. Count me as a very satisfied customer! I don’t remember seeing any reviews on your website, but I would be delighted to write one if you’d like. But, for now, I’m off to bed and looking forward to a good night’s sleep. Many thanks to you!’ – Bruce, June 2022

‘I spent this morning assembling my old Vono bed frame, then fitting the bed base. I followed your instructions, including making wooden struts to cover the nuts in the original steel side bars of the bed. The slatted bed base fitted well on top of these and I now have a very comfortable bed with oak head and foot boards. I am extremely pleased with the result, as it has revived the bed for a very reasonable cost and a moderate amount of assembly effort. Thanks again for your excellent bed base’ – Andrew, April 2022

‘Hi Elena, I am a bit late replying but many thanks for the bed base which was exactly what I was looking for. Arrived safely on time and yes it went up the winding staircase with no problems. I was surprised that the slats become rather widely spaced at the ends but it works OK for me. The cable ties work fine but I also found an old roll of heavy-duty, thick, black, double sided sticky tape – a piece under each mounting point completely avoids any risk of sliding and eliminates any metal to metal contact which might eventually squeak. It makes a very comfortable bed – I have spent too much time over Christmas just lying on it. Thanks again. ‘ – Roger, January 2022

‘Bed frame assembled this morning without any problems. Exactly what was need. Thanks for your service. We used a length of pine on both sides with holes drilled at both ends to clear the fixing bolts as per your instructions, worked a treat. ‘[ Used on a Vono bed ] – John & Julie, September 2021

‘Elena, It all worked perfectly: the bed arrived last week and my friend has now fitted it. He moved up the wooden stabilisers that held the old base and now your fantastic bed base is sitting on the top and I actually have a really great bed at last! All the dimensions were perfect. It is a really stable and brilliant bed base and a really effective way of adding a base to a beautiful old bed. Thank you so much for all your help. Very best wishes’ – Teresa, September 2020

‘Just a brief note to thank you for the adjustable bed base which was delivered last month as promised and has met all my expectations. The base was easy to fit, using the cable ties you supplied. The adjustable base sits securely on the corners of my old cast iron ‘brass and black’ double bed frame, as you said it would, and is perfectly stable. Also in line with your assurances, it is self-supporting and does not sag in the middle. So I am very pleased with the purchase. Thanks again.’ – Rob, February 2020

‘Just a note to say that I finally got round to fitting my French Bed Company replacement sprung slatted base for my Edwardian ‘Vono’ bed (once in Leeds Castle, and therefore familiarly known as ‘Lady Baillie’s Bed’). I am profoundly impressed by the well designed and engineered base, which was very easy to fit using the cable ties you kindly supplied. Delighted to have found such an elegant solution to the deteriorating original spring base. Many thanks.’ – Rod, December 2019
