In a world where nearly everything can be personalised from our coffee orders to our playlists, why should your bed be any different?
If you’ve ever found yourself scrolling endlessly through furniture websites or wandering through showrooms trying to find the one, you already know how tough it can be. Maybe you loved the colour of the bed frame but hated the headboard. Or you finally found the perfect style only to realise it had no storage. Or maybe it had everything, but just wouldn’t fit comfortably in your bedroom.
Sound familiar? If so, a customised bed might just be the best investment you haven’t made yet.
Let’s break down why a bespoke bed isn’t just a luxury, but a smart, stylish, and space-saving choice especially for modern homes and real-life living.
The Struggle to Find “The One”
Let’s start with the obvious: buying a bed is surprisingly hard.
You walk into a store or browse online, and you’re immediately hit with a dozen options. Great. But then you start narrowing it down:
- That one has the right colour but an overly chunky headboard.
- The minimalist frame you love doesn’t have any storage.
- You finally like the shape and storage but it only comes in grey (because of course it does).
- Or it’s got the aesthetic, but you need drawers only on one side and the only version available has them on the wrong side for your room layout.
In other words, you’re forced to compromise. And when it comes to the most important piece of furniture in your room, the one you’ll use every single day compromising isn’t ideal.
Why Customised Beds Are Worth It
A custom bed changes all of this. It gives you the freedom to create a piece that fits your space, your style, and your sleep needs, without making sacrifices.
Here’s how:
1. It Matches Your Personal Style, Perfectly
You’re no longer stuck with pre-set combinations. You get to choose:
- The exact fabric (velvet, suede, leather-touch, linen, you name it)
- The colour that fits your room (and not just grey or beige)
- The headboard style that suits your taste, tall, panelled, curved, deep buttoned, or completely minimal
Gone are the days where you find your dream bed frame… only to wish it came with a different headboard. With customisation, you get to mix and match until it’s exactly right.
2. No More “Love the Bed, But…” Problems
Here’s a common scenario we hear all the time:
“I found a bed I absolutely loved, but it didn’t have drawers…”
“I loved the design, but I needed drawers only on the left side because there’s a radiator on the right.”
This was exactly the case for Rachel, a Luxe customer from Manchester. She had just renovated her bedroom and found a beautiful bed online velvet finish, tall headboard, looked perfect. But the drawers were only on the right side and that’s where her door swings open. No way to use them.
Rachel called our team and explained her setup. She needed side drawers, but only on the left. She also wanted the frame in blush pink not grey or cream like every other bed she’d seen. Within a few minutes, we helped her design a completely custom setup: left-side drawers, soft velvet blush fabric, and a slightly lower headboard to avoid blocking her wall light.
Now, the bed fits her room perfectly, both in style and function and she didn’t have to settle.
3. Space-Saving Options That Actually Work for You
Let’s face it bedrooms in England often aren’t big. Whether it’s a tight city flat, a converted loft, or a spare room turned master, floor space is at a premium. That means storage beds aren’t just nice to have, they’re essential.
With a customised bed, you can choose:
- Side-opening ottoman storage for low-clearance rooms
- End-opening ottoman storage for narrow rooms with limited side access
- Divan drawers, on one side only, both sides, or foot-end, depending on what works best
Plus, you get to pick drawer size and orientation. That’s the kind of practicality most ready-made beds just don’t offer.
4. It’s Built for You – Not Just for Show
While a stylish bed enhances your bedroom, comfort is still king. A custom bed isn’t just a visual statement it’s tailored for your sleep too.
You can choose:
- The ideal mattress type (memory foam, hybrid, orthopaedic Mattresses)
- The right firmness level for your sleep position or back support needs
- A matching headboard height that’s comfortable for sitting up in bed with a book or breakfast
And if you’re buying through a company like Luxe Mattresses & Beds, you can even speak with a real person who walks you through these options. You don’t have to figure it all out on your own.
Real-Life Comfort + Visual Harmony = A Game-Changer
Think about your current bed. Does it truly match your space and your needs?
For many people, the answer is “it’s fine.” But fine often means settled for.
What if your bed didn’t just fit the room but enhanced it? What if it didn’t just look good, but worked smarter for your life?
That’s what custom beds offer:
- More storage without taking up extra space
- Colours and textures that bring your room to life
- Designs that reflect you not someone else’s trend board
You’re building something personal. Not picking from a catalogue.
