Description
Classic silhouettes inspired Matthew Hilton to design the informal Oscar Bed for SCP. Retaining its classic charm with a touch of modernity, Oscar features a button-cushioned headboard as well as expertly turned decorative wooden legs. The bed’s pared-back silhouette with straight lines and natural curves lends it a contemporary edge. Designed by Matthew Hilton, made in Britain and upholstered in Heal's fabric. Decoratively turned beech feet in walnut stain. Display image upholstered in Heal's Velvet Petrol.
Our Stylist Says
I love the Heal's Oscar bed for its timeless combination of soft, plush upholstery and classic turned legs, which lends a timeless yet versatile appeal. It works particularly well in interiors that aim for a cosy, relaxed feel, whether that's a contemporary scheme with subtle textures or a more traditional bedroom. For styling, consider layering with textured bedding and throw cushions to enhance its inviting character. Practical tips include positioning it against a neutral wall to highlight the beautiful silhouette, and adding a statement bedside table or lighting to complete the look. This bed not only offers comfort but also elevates the overall aesthetic of your bedroom, making it a stylish focal point.

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.
