Description
An exclusive bed available in double, king and super king, the Balmoral bed is a striking addition to the range. With a luxurious, deep-buttoned headboard and beautifully turned legs, the Balmoral bed is our take on a classic design, complete with generous padding and rich velvet upholstery. Handmade in a small factory just outside Bath, this bed has been designed in-house and is exclusively available from Heal's.
Our Stylist Says
The Heal's Balmoral Bedstead in super king size with its rich Melton wool and granite finish offers a timeless yet luxurious aesthetic that works beautifully in both classic and contemporary interiors. I love its bold colour and textured upholstery, which can become a statement piece in a neutral or minimalist bedroom, or complement more eclectic and colourful schemes. For styling, consider pairing it with crisp bedding and understated accessories to let the fabric and craftsmanship shine, or add contrasting velvet cushions for a touch of opulence. It's versatile enough to sit well in traditional, retro-inspired, or modern interiors, especially when combined with warm wood tones or metallic accents for a sophisticated finish. Practical tip: choose bedding that highlights the lush velour or maintains a sleek, minimalist look to keep the overall space feeling balanced and inviting.

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.
