Our workshop is located in Sheffield in the North of England. Here our team of talented craftsmen make – from start to finish – our collection of solid wood beds, along with a range of bedside tables. They also advise on bespoke alterations, support customers with custom requests, and help develop and test new designs for our collection.
We believe every piece of furniture should have a personal connection behind it. That’s why most orders are entrusted to a single woodworker, who takes responsibility for the project from start to finish.
Nigel is an apprentice-trained craftsman who has been with Natural Bed Company for over 20 years. He plays a key role in developing new designs, working closely with our designer and directors. Nigel helped bring our Orchid four-poster and Hatfield tall post beds to life and particularly enjoys designing and crafting new furniture. His favourite bed is the Tibet, and his timber of choice is oak. At home, he has a custom oak Bamford.
Since joining in 2012, Jim has become a key source of expertise on custom alterations and product development. He enjoys creating new designs and supporting colleagues in developing their skills. His favourite bed is the Osaka in oak and he has the prototype of our Osaka at home. When he’s not at work Jim enjoys playing and watching basketball and loves spending time with his family.
Charles has been making beds with us since 2016. He enjoys the variety of the work and particularly likes crafting the Malabar in walnut.
Sean joined the workshop in 2019 and enjoys working on our more complex bed designs. His favourite bed is the Harrow in walnut or ash. When he’s not working Sean loves to follow his favourite football team – Sheffield United.
Working with a range of different timbers is what Lee enjoys most. His favourite bed is the Zanskar in ash.
Nick joined the team in 2020 and loves the great workshop atmosphere. He owns a Dalston bed, and particularly enjoys making the Highbury in English oak.
Kirk loves the Zanskar for its angular design and his favourite timber is walnut for its striking grain pattern and excellent workability. Kirk enjoys working in such a great atmosphere. When he’s not at work Kirk enjoys watching his son grow up.
Bryce particularly enjoys the final fitting and finishing stages of production. His favourite bed is the Highbury in walnut. When he isn’t working, he loves camping in the Highlands and discovering castles.
Lee is our go-to-guy for special wood stains and lacquered headboards. He is a perfectionist and loves a challenge! He also plays a key role in overseeing all areas of dispatch. Lee’s favourite timber is walnut, which looks so good with the almost matte lacquer we use at Natural Bed Company.
James helps ensure every order leaves the workshop looking its best. His favourite bed is the Hoxton in walnut, and he loves getting to work alongside a great group of lads.
