About our beds

At Feelgood eco beds we believe there are three things to consider when making furniture:

1. Design and manufacture furniture from sustainable timbers
2. Dispose of any waste without resorting to landfill
3. Give the best possible value for money

Each of our eco ash beds is unique simply because the wood we use retains its original shape and form. This makes it impossible to mass-produce so when we describe it as 'handmade' that really is the case.

The construction process relies on traditional methods using round mortice and tenon joints which are glued and pinned with wooden dowels to keep them in place which ensures that they will not work loose with time.

The wood used to make the distinctive head and footboards is local English ash which has the bark removed to leave all the unique characteristics intact. It is taken from local managed woodlands within a 20-mile radius of our workshops. The next stage is to air-dry the wood for about 6-months before being slowly kiln-dried. This process ensures the timber has optimum stability when placed in your home and why we are confident to offer our lifetime guarantee.

We also use traditional mortice and tenon joints on our range of sustainable pine beds and where appropriate on our range of bedroom furniture. The timber used is Quebec yellow pine, famed for its light weight and stability. It is sourced from a reputable supplier with a strict sustainability policy. All drawers have dovetail joints.

After assembly, all furniture is given a handwax finish that further enhances the natural grain and features of the wood. All our waxes are a blend of natural waxes and are tuolene-free. Because every piece of wood is different the final colour may vary slightly from the photographs that you see on this web site.

The side rails and slats are made from FSC certified pine. The slats measure an impressive 7½" wide and 1½" thick (190mm x 40mm) and provide excellent support for any of our mattresses.

The mattresses that we supply are specifically designed for beds with wooden slats and are the perfect partner to all our beds. We can now also supply totally organic and latex mattresses - see our mattresses page for full details. All the mattresses carry a full manufacturer's warranty - please contact us for details.
