Why the price difference?
It isn't the wood, the steel or the springs, it's the route to you. Premium brands sell through importers, distributors and showrooms; each adds margin. We build in our own factory and ship straight to your door, insured, in 37 countries. Same duty cycle, roughly a third less money, and the savings compound with every bed you add.
