Made to Measure Beds

Flat-pack furniture is great. It’s cheap, quick to put together and generally looks the part. There’s only one problem though – it’s all the same! And not just in terms of looks, but in terms of sizes, too. This is especially the case when it comes to beds. 

Beds are possibly the biggest piece of furniture you’ll have in your home, outside of a sofa. Certainly in terms of floor space, anyway. And given all bedrooms come in different shapes and sizes, and all families have different needs, it can very often be a challenge to find one to fit. 

Thankfully, we can help. Here at Jerome Shorter, we are able to provide bespoke, made-to-measure beds that are customised to meet your needs. Looking for a bed that will fit in an awkwardly shaped box room? Perhaps you’ve just converted your loft and have sloped ceilings to contend with? 

Either way, we are up for the challenge.

The Process

We’ve refined our process over many years in the furniture industry. Here are the five steps involved in getting yourself a brand new, made-to-measure bed:

  1. Get in touch – we can’t help otherwise! 
  2. Next, we’ll come to visit your home and/or space to understand your unique needs 
  3. The third step is the design stage – this is where we’ll draw up a master plan
  4. Now things get exciting, our craftsmen will bring everything together in our workshop 
  5. And last, but certainly not least, we’ll deliver to your door and ensure everything is ok

The Advantages of Made to Measure Beds

The made-to-measure bed has many advantages over buying a pre-made bed at a furniture store. Those advantages include:

 

It is tailored to your specific needs

If you are looking for more storage space made to measure beds can provide storage underneath the mattress in the form of drawers that pull out on either side. If you want the framing material to echo other materials in the bedroom made to measure beds can do that too. If you want to optimise floor space in the room your made-to-measure bed can be elevated on posts with a compact stairway leading up. The possibilities are endless.

 

You get greater value for your money

It’s true that you can probably purchase a bed in a furniture store that will cost less than a made to measure bed. But with the store-bought bed you will need to find some way to make the space work with it. By contrast made to measure beds are made specifically for the space which means you don’t have to move anything out or settle for a less than your ideal arrangement. Your bed will work with everything because it was designed to.

 

It’s better for your health

If you have physical issues that need to be respected that’s hard to do with a bed straight out of the showroom. On the other hand, a made to measure bed can be built to your exact specifications. So whether you need to elevate your feet while you sleep, or you need a certain type of platform or you need a bed designed to provide easy access for someone who cannot climb up onto a standard bed made to measure beds are the perfect solution.

 

It adds a bit of panache to your home

Your home is your castle. But more than that it is also a showcase for your great taste in art, design and furnishings. A made to measure bed is yet another expression of your peerless ability to one-up your friends. It’s the sleeping accessory everyone else wishes they had.

Jerome’s team took on a very challenging task of reupholstering an Ottoman for me with my own fabric. They took so much care, and there was such great attention to detail. I am so pleased with the end result, it is beyond my wildest expectation. I’m really grateful to him and his team for the love and time put into it and for their ongoing communication wrt the process. Would 100% use them again and recommend to anyone looking for a job well done. Thank you so much. This piece will be held onto forever.

Jerome and his team has just completed the recovering of eight large leather dining chairs and a full set of fabric outdoor furniture (chaise, sofas and 10 dining chairs). These had all been owned and used for many years and we had feared they would require replacing. Not so! Jerome collected sad looking furniture and delivered back what looks like brand new replacements. Our furniture has been given a new lease of life and we couldn’t recommend Jerome Shorter Furniture enough. Not only is the work first class but the service and communication was exceptional. Thank you Jerome.

I can only describe the reupholster job of my large 3 seater and two chaise lounges handled by Jerome and his team as top class! It was an excellent re-enacting of my original luxury furniture, looked exactly the same! Their care and precision is commendable...I highly recommend them.

We wanted to recycle some modern leather dining chairs rather than replace them but we couldn't find the right contact who we trusted to do what we needed - we found Jerome and he immediately understood what we wanted and gave us some great advice and ideas. We are now extremely pleased to have 8 re-covered chairs which look amazing and so much better quality and value than buying new! The quality of the work is superb and we can't recommend Jerome and his team highly enough. We will be using them time and again to recycle/refresh other items which we already love (sofas, chaise longue, etc).

I had three pieces(a sofa and two wing chairs) to re-upholster which had never been in the same room together before. Mr. Shorter took pictures of the pieces and the carpet they had to coordinate with and gave me some design ideas. This did not work. He recommended stores where I could obtain swatches of fabric. After numerous attempts on my own Mr Shorter came again to my apartment and selected fabrics I had not thought to combine. A perfect choice and I could not be happier with the result-a fresh, colourful, contemporary design for the entire room. Excellent reupholstering for old furniture. I highly recommend Mr. Shorter to anyone who wishes to add new life to one or more pieces.

 

Jerome’s service is excellent. My company needed 3 items reupholstered and Jerome provided a quote with plenty of relevant fabric choices.
He collected each item individually and quickly returned each, keeping us up to date on the process.
Jerome’s customer service and punctual turn around of the items was great.
Well recommended.

John, Tunbridge Wells

We had four porter-style antique armchairs, a sofa and a chaise-longue extensively repaired and re-upholstered by Jerome. His work was meticulously professional, completed to a very high standard and delivered on time and to budget. His artistic judgement is thoughtful, helpful but never intrusive. This was a complicated and expensive job which he excelled in. We are already repeat customers.

Mr Paine, Horsmonden

Jerome’s work is amazing and he is a pleasure to do business with. I and my chair thank him!

Katja Sinclair Interior Design, Tunbridge Wells

“Thank you so much for the fantastic work and all the guidance you gave us along the way. We would recommend Jerome again and again.”
