Price History
Description
Bringing traditional style to contemporary spaces, the Devon bed echoes characteristics of the best-selling sofa from the same collection, all demonstrating a distinctive British aesthetic. Inspired by the sofa, the Devon bed mirrors the classic scroll-arm profile, while the bedhead is defined by an elegant roll-back top. The addition of a clean and slimline frame, meanwhile, makes this a timeless addition to any bedroom. Customisable finishes, including legs in black, stained walnut and natural – and a choice of luxurious upholstery fabrics – make for a bed as unique as your home.
Our Stylist Says
I love this bed for its versatile appeal and contemporary edge. The smart velvet in Dusk Black gives it a rich, sophisticated look that works well in both modern minimalistic interiors and more luxe, eclectic spaces. Its Beech Feet add warmth and subtle contrast, making it a great anchor piece in a neutral or monochrome scheme. To style around it, consider pairing with textured cushions and throws in layered shades of grey or muted colours to add depth. It also lends itself well to adding statement lighting or artwork above, creating a cosy yet stylish focal point. Practical tips include positioning it in a room with enough space to appreciate its sleek silhouette and opting for bedside tables that complement the dark, luxe vibe, such as warm wood or metallic accents.

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.
