Price History
Description
The dark ash gives this laid-back bed a lovely mid-century feel. Comes with a removable fabric headboard for extra squish.
Our Stylist Says
I love the bagel bed for its simple yet elegant design, making it a versatile piece that works well in both modern and minimalist interiors. The dark ash finish adds a touch of warmth and sophistication, making it a great anchor piece in a neutral palette. It pairs beautifully with crisp white bedding or muted tones, and can be dressed up with textured cushions or a throw for added visual interest. For practical styling, consider positioning it in a room with plenty of natural light to highlight its shape, and balance it with bedside tables that complement the wood tone. This bed frame works especially well in serene, uncluttered spaces aimed at creating a calming retreat.

About Loaf
From Beds to Diverse Furniture
Loaf is a popular British furniture store that started as "The Sleep Room" by Charlie Marshall in 2008. Charlie used money from selling his old business and his savings to start it.
At first, they just sold beds, with Charlie researching 187 mattress and bed factories to ensure only the best products. But by 2012, they began selling other furniture like sofas, chairs, and lights, which led to its rebranding as "Loaf."
Their growth was so impressive that by 2013, they ranked 40th on the Sunday Times Fast Track 100, becoming the 3rd fastest growing retailer in the UK.
Sustainability and Ethical Approach
Loaf's commitment to the environment and ethical practices is evident in their efforts to ensure sustainable sourcing. They aim for all their materials to be responsibly sourced or derived from recycled materials by 2025.
For instance, the timber in their sofa frames comes from responsibly managed forests. Additionally, they're working towards reducing their carbon emissions, improving packaging to be 100% recyclable, and respecting animal welfare.
Notably, their wool will be certified to the Responsible Wool Standard by 2023. Loaf also ensures that all their employees, or 'Loafers,' are paid at least the 'real' Living Wage.
Locations and Community Engagement
Presently, Loaf boasts ten showrooms, uniquely referred to as 'slowrooms,' mainly around London. Beyond just business, they're active in community engagement.
They have partnered with St Mungo's, a leading UK charity, aiming to spend 10,000 hours over the next three years volunteering and raising funds to combat homelessness.
