How to choose the perfect bed
July 14th, 2026
A bed is more than a frame - it plays an important supporting role in the comfort, performance and longevity of your mattress.
Our collection of beds is designed to be both beautiful and functional. From solid wood slats to padded, sprung upholstered bases, each design allows your mattress to breathe while providing the stable, supportive foundation it needs.
Complete your bed with a beautifully upholstered headboard, available in a choice of natural fabric coverings to complement your bedroom.
Every Floks bed is handmade in Yorkshire by skilled craftspeople using FSC-certified solid wood frames, then delivered directly to your home. Built to last, it's a foundation for years of restful nights and better mornings.
Why choose a Floks bed?
Better days begin the night before.
Every Floks product starts with the same question: how can we help you sleep better? That belief guides every decision we make, from the materials we choose to the way each piece is crafted.
Like our mattresses and wool bedding, our beds are designed with a simple philosophy: buy less, choose well and create something made to last.
Working with skilled craftspeople, we have created an exclusive collection of quietly beautiful beds, bases and headboards designed to complement our natural mattresses and complete your sleep environment.
Made using solid wood, wool, hemp and linen, every piece is handmade with care and built for lasting comfort. Each bed comes with a five-year guarantee, giving you confidence in the craftsmanship behind it.
A great day starts with the foundation you choose to sleep on the night before.

Which bed is best for me?
We know that buying a bed is a big investment. We believe that your considered purchase should last for many years to come and that’s why we make our beds from solid, long lasting materials and offer a range of options to suit every bedroom.
All our beds are available to test at our store, alternatively you can arrange to chat to us on the phone at a time to suit you by booking a consultation.
There are factors to consider when choosing the right bed and and some frequently asked questions and guidance are:
“The space in my bedroom is limited and we are so short of storage”
If head height in a room is limited consider a lower profile bed base such as the slim upholstered base and wooden Honest x Floks spindle bed. For extra storage that is always useful our upholstered ottoman base has masses of space under the lift up top and you can choose either 2 or 4 drawers to be added to our deep upholstered divan base.
“I am worried about whether I can get the bed into my bedroom”
Headboards and bases come separately and are built in the bedroom by our expert delivery team. Larger bed bases come in 2 parts making them easier to negotiate tricky stairs. Honest x Floks wooden spindle bed is delivered in parts for very easy at home assembly. If in any doubt please speak to us and we can advise further.
“I need a slightly different size to what is offered on your website, can you help?’
All of our beds, headboards and mattresses are handmade and we can accommodate bespoke sizes. Please get in touch for a quote.
“I can’t get to your store to choose fabrics, do you offer fabric swatches?”
