View our carefully curated range of quality divan beds and mattresses made by established, trusted and renowned UK bed brands.
At Bay Beds, we're proud to be authorised Harrison Spinks retailers and have worked with the company since 2016.
Harrison Spinks is a British bed manufacturer with a real emphasis on craftsmanship, natural materials and innovative pocket spring technology. We've visited their Leeds factory and their farm near York, where many of the natural materials used in their mattresses are grown.
For us, seeing how Harrison Spinks mattresses are made first-hand is a big part of why we chose to stock them.
We're delighted to see Harrison Spinks named Bed Manufacturer of the Year at the National Bed Federation Awards for the third consecutive year.
The recognition was even more special this year, with the Harrison Spinks Wildwood Clover mattress also named Product of the Year.
It's great to see a British manufacturer we've worked with for many years receiving this recognition, and we're pleased to have both the Bed Tailor and Wildwood collections available for customers to try.
When choosing the brands and mattresses for our showrooms, we look for products that genuinely offer something different.
That's one of the things that stood out to us about Harrison Spinks.
During our visit to their Leeds factory, we were able to see the craftsmanship and manufacturing process first-hand. We also visited their farm near York, where many of the natural materials used in their mattresses are grown.
Natural fillings including British wool, hemp and flax are combined with Harrison Spinks' innovative pocket spring technology to create mattresses with a distinctly natural feel.
Seeing the manufacturing and farming side of the business gave us a much better understanding of the care that goes into their mattresses and strengthened our decision to work with them.
The Bed Tailor collection is Harrison Spinks' well-known core range, and we have four models available to try in both our Lancaster and Morecambe showrooms:
The four models offer different feels and levels of support, making it much easier to compare them side by side and find the one that suits you best.
The Bed Tailor Seasonal Turn mattresses also feature Harrison Spinks' Warm Side / Cool Side design, with different natural fillings on each side for seasonal comfort.
In our Lancaster showroom, we also have the Harrison Spinks Wildwood collection available to try:
The Clover has recently been named Product of the Year at the National Bed Federation Awards, making it particularly interesting if you're looking to try one of the award-winning mattresses for yourself.
Having several Harrison Spinks models on display means you can compare the different feels in person rather than trying to choose from specifications on a screen.
One of the advantages of buying from an independent bed shop is that we can take the time to help you compare mattresses properly.
We've worked with Harrison Spinks since 2016 and have visited their factory and farm ourselves, so we're able to explain the differences between the models in straightforward terms.
Our aim isn't to sell you the most expensive mattress. It's to help you find the one that's right for you.
Whether you're looking for a Harrison Spinks mattress, divan bed or matching headboard, you're welcome to come in and try the collection for yourself.
You can try the Harrison Spinks Bed Tailor collection in both our Lancaster and Morecambe showrooms, with the Wildwood collection available in Lancaster.
Come and compare the mattresses for yourself and see why Harrison Spinks has become one of the brands we're particularly proud to represent.
