Established in 1955, The York Bed has been crafting high-quality, hand-made beds and mattresses for over six decades. Originally operating from Hungate, we relocated to Acaster Malbis following redevelopment, continuing our tradition of bespoke craftsmanship. Our expertise lies in creating custom-sized beds, from cot beds to superkings, tailored to meet unique requirements, including mattresses for antique bed frames. Customers can select from a wide range of fabrics, with the option to supply their own material for headboards.Our commitment to traditional methods ensures durability and comfort, supported by UK and EU delivery services. With over 40 years of dedicated experience in hand-making beds, we maintain a showroom where visitors can explore our products, though appointments are recommended for optimal service. Our team prioritises quality, offering removal and recycling of old beds at competitive rates, reflecting our comprehensive approach to customer needs.
