Elizabeth
Our Elizabeth bedstead is a classic elegant bedstead inspired solely by tradition and captures the era in its entirety.
The Elizabeth polished nickel bed frame is complemented by solid cast mounts and 3.5” solid cast balls. Offering 2” side posts with an eye-catching centrepiece. A glamorous addition to your bedroom.
Finished in polished Nickel, with an Antique Brass option also available.
If you like something different, your nickel Elizabeth silhouette can be powder-coated in the colour of your choice with solid 3.5" solid cast balls in nickel. Please get in touch on 01726 825182 or sales@cornishbeds.co.uk for the bespoke option.
Hand cast at our Cornwall foundry and made with all the traditional fixings you would expect from an authentic re-production of a traditional Victorian nickel bed.
The Elizabeth can be manufactured as a bedstead, bed surround, headboard, or as a bedstead with no foot end, or a four-poster option - We cast our beds to exacting standards using time-honoured skills and craftsmanship. Every bed is made individually to order, numbered, and signed off by one of our craftsmen. With The Cornish Bed Company, you can be confident that your bedstead will last lifetimes and will become an antique in the future.
All our cast iron, brass and nickel beds, including our four posters are available in the nine standard UK bed sizes. As we craft our beds to order, just for you, so we can customize the size of your bed as required.

Why Polished Nickel?
Polished nickel is the most luxurious metal finish we offer. Born out of solid brass tubes and finials, the beds are then nickel platted for the cooling, regal look.
Natural Mattresses
We complement our handcrafted metal beds with a collection of natural mattresses that are all made by hand in Devon by our sister company, Naturalmat. The mattresses are a perfect fit for our beds, and cover all budgets.
Our mattresses are made by hand in a solar-powered Devon workshop with natural & organic fibres. Better for you, and the planet.
“I would like to take the opportunity to say how absolutely fabulous our new bed is. As you know we spent a long time looking all over the place for both a bed and a mattress but eventually found Cornish Beds and with your help we finally chose the perfect bed for us and the perfect mattress to go with it.”
