Description
An exclusive collaboration between Heal’s and Says Who – the Danish design studio – the Tortona bed takes inspiration from the sofa of the same name. The bed is characterised by a slim silhouette, with French seams and slender legs, both accentuating its clean lines and compact footprint. With a Scandinavian aesthetic, it’s a timeless addition to any contemporary space, and promises superior comfort for quality sleep.
Our Stylist Says
I love this bed frame for its sleek, modern silhouette combined with classic detailing - the Capelo linen-cotton fabric adds a relaxed yet sophisticated touch. The black feet lend a subtle contrast that works especially well in contemporary or minimalist interiors, but it also pairs nicely with nautical or industrial themes. To style it effectively, consider keeping bedding simple with neutral tones or soft pastels, and add textured throws or cushions for warmth. It’s versatile enough to anchor a calming bedroom scheme or serve as a statement piece in a more eclectic space. Practical tips include elevating the bed further by layering bedding, which not only enhances visual interest but also maximises comfort.

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.
