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 the sleek and sophisticated look of this bed, especially with its plush velvet finish in Airforce Blue-perfect for adding a pop of colour to a neutral or monochrome scheme. The double size is versatile, fitting well into both contemporary and luxe interiors, especially those with a minimal or sophisticated palette. It works great styled with layered bedding in contrasting textures, such as crisp whites or muted tones, and accented with metallic or matte finish accessories to enhance its modern vibe. Practical tips include pairing it with simple nightstands and adding cosy throws or layered cushions for a balanced mix of comfort and style. Its understated yet elegant design makes it a real statement piece in a master bedroom or guest suite.

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.
