Somerset
The Somerset is one of our most popular classic Victorian bedsteads.
The Somerset natural bedstead is one of our most popular classic beds. Offering 2” side posts for strength and longevity, finished off with solid brass top caps and brass bed knobs*. This bedstead suggests elegance at its finest with sweeping curved brass top rails for that extra layer of class.
*If you prefer to have the Nickel finish on your Somerset bed, please get in touch with us on 01726 825182 to place your bespoke finish order (an additional charge of £100 applies).
There are no bolts or welds on the Somerset bed design.
Hand cast at our Cornwall foundry and made with all the traditional fixings you would expect from an authentic re-production.
The Somerset can be manufactured as a bedstead, bed surround, headboard, four-poster bed, or as a bedstead with no foot end. You can order your Somerset in any of our favourite 13 colour options or in any colour not shown starting from an extra £100**. We cast our beds to exacting standards using time-honoured skills and craftsmanship.
**We offer a wide range of bespoke colours and can match any Pantone #ref provided if you have a specific colour in mind or would like to match the bed to other items of decor in your bedroom. Please get in touch with us on 01726 825182 to place your bespoke colour order.
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.

- KMKatie M.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 starsJuly 2, 2024Outstanding bed, mattress and wonderful company to deal with!
The bed looks timelessly stylish and was expertly assembled in my room by the really helpful delivery drivers. The craftsmanship is evident and the bed is really sturdy. The new mattress I got to go with it from Naturalmat is like sleeping on a cloud! I have not slept this well in years! The staff at my local Cornish Beds/Naturalmat shop were fantastic from start to finish, and I felt very well looked after. Well worth the investment.
CBCornish BedsAugust 5, 2024Thanks Katie, so happy you are sleeping well now!

I had my eye on a Cornish bed for sometime before purchasing one. We could not be happier with ours. It is absolutely beautiful, and the quality is impeccable. The beds are so simple, so timeless and so well made. Best purchase I’ve ever made.
