Price History
Description
The exclusive Heal’s Darcey Bed captures the look and feel of mid-century with its clean lines and contemporary silhouette. The gently curved headboard is fully upholstered for a comfortable night's sleep and tapered ash legs complete the bedframe to enhance its mid-century inspired feel.
Our Stylist Says
I love this bed for its luxe velvet finish and contemporary silhouette, which instantly elevates any bedroom. The Darcey in super king size works well in both modern and eclectic interiors, especially when paired with textured throws or statement lighting. The Peridot velvet adds a surprising pop of colour, so it’s a clever choice for adding personality without overwhelming the space. Practical styling tips include keeping bedding simple and muted to let the fabric and colour shine, as well as contrasting the stained oak feet with a layered rug underneath for added warmth and grounding. This bed tends to look best in a bedroom with a sophisticated, curated aesthetic that balances comfort with a touch of glamour.

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.
