Description
Created by Magnus Pettersen for Heal’s, the Artie King Size Bed takes inspiration from mid-century design with modern flourishes. The elegant bed is crafted using solid and veneered wood and completed with sumptuous upholstery. The addition of sprung slats makes for an even comfier sleep.
Our Stylist Says
I love this bed for its clean lines and natural oak finish, making it a versatile choice for both contemporary and Scandinavian-inspired interiors. It works particularly well in minimalist, modern, or light-filled bedrooms, where its simple design enhances a clutter-free aesthetic. To style around it, consider soft, neutral bedding with textured throws to add warmth and comfort. Pairing it with minimalistic bedside tables and subtle lighting keeps the look cohesive and calm. Its sturdy build makes it practical for everyday use, and the oak’s natural grain adds a touch of warmth that can be complemented with other wooden accents or greenery for a balanced, inviting space.

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.
