Description
The quintessential British sofa, the Chesterfield has become an icon of traditional style and taste. The contemporary form and function of the 40 Winks sofa bed breathes new life into this classic piece, its multi-purpose design and robust leather tailoring providing a distinctive seat or day bed that breaks with tradition. With the deep button detailing and creased folds giving a vintage feel that echoes the Chesterfield, the sleek metal frame provides all the versatility required within the modern home with the back offering three positions for adjustment. The perfectly versatile and elegantly classic sofa bed for the modern home.
Our Stylist Says
I love this sofa bed for its plush velvet upholstery and versatile dark blue hue, which adds a touch of sophistication to both contemporary and more traditional interiors. It works particularly well in cosy living spaces, guest rooms, or multifunctional rooms where style and practicality are key. When styling, consider pairing it with neutral or textured cushions for contrast, and keep the surrounding decor minimal to let the colour and elegant detailing stand out. Practical tips include layering with a statement throw for added comfort and using its dark tone to anchor the room’s palette, making it a chic yet functional choice for those looking to maximise space without compromising on style.

About Heal's
A Rich Legacy in Furniture Design
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
Influences and Design Philosophy
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
Modern Expansion and Growth
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
