We braved the heat today and delivered this awesome Highgrove bed. These come in three different spring tensions to give a soft, medium or firm feel, the medium is by far the most popular.

They come as a package which includes the mattress, a good quality 2 drawer base and a statement headboard. This bed was upgraded to a floor standing headboard. You get the same effect with a standard headboard but these are sturdier.

Another happy customer, I hope.

We have this bed in our showroom so feel free to call in and get comfy.

This customer came from out of town and chose two Brigg businesses to help with the refurb of their bedroom.

Dean Wray Carpets & Vinyls Of Brigg installed the flooring this morning, we followed this evening with this fantastic bed, and together they work very well.

The bed is one of our upper mid range package deals. The mattress comes in 3 comfort levels for soft, medium or firm support. It has really good edge support, it is designed not to bd turned over, it has a cool touch surface and it isn’t overly deep.
The base is really good quality and well upholstered in a range of fabrics and colours. The package includes a matching headboard with several designs to choose from.

This bed was upgraded to 4 storage drawers, other popular upgrades include ottoman storage and floor standing headboards.

We have received these pictures from a customer who elected to assemble this bed themselves. We usually prefer to build them but a mix of circumstances meant that the customer was happy to self assemble, looks like they did a good job to me.

This is a really good quality oak ottoman bed and it’s a real beauty.

It was all going so well, then boom… we’ve hit a wall.
I’ve had more people coming into the shop asking for directions than asking about beds this week.
I’m very grateful for every customer we’ve had, don’t get me wrong. Summer is traditionally slower for us, so it’s expected. I just don’t like it.

One advantage of being a bit quieter was being able to help a returning customer who urgently needed a mattress. We had it delivered within a couple of hours. That’s not always possible, but it’s nice when it works out.

Mum and Dad are taking a bit of time off to catch up with the gardening, so I’m holding the fort on my own and then getting deliveries out after hours. Poor me.

We’ve also had plenty of deliveries arriving, although most customers aren’t quite ready for them yet. We all know what’s going to happen… everyone will want everything at exactly the same time.
There was a little bit of drama this week. A bed ordered in black arrived in cream.
Amazing, I love a bit of stress.
Mistakes happen occasionally. The first job is always to speak to the customer and find out how urgent the situation is. Some people absolutely need the bed on the scheduled day, others are happy to wait for the correct one to arrive.
Thankfully, this customer was happy to wait and, if you’re reading this, thank you for your patience. As it turns out they had the wrong date for the carpets anyway so needed it the following week- if I’d kept my mouth shut I would have got away with it!
In circumstances where it can’t wait there are usually options. We could the incorrect base temporarily and swap it later, source one from another supplier, arrange a quicker replacement, or in extreme cases I can jump in the van and collect it myself.
The point is simple: when something goes wrong, we do our best to put it right in a way which keeps the customer happy. Ish.

On a more positive note, we’ve got a new model on the shop floor. Really good quality, sensible money, and well worth a look.

I’ve also managed to get myself told off by one of our suppliers for featuring one of their beds on social media. Apparently I wasn’t supposed to. I might have to post it again with the whole thing blurred out like an SAS interview to keep everyone happy.

Customer of the week? A certain individual who contacts us regularly and lets us know we’re in for an interesting few days. We’re talking 10-15 phone calls a day. This week I popped over after work to investigate the latest issue.
The problem?
A scratch on a piece of furniture we supplied two years ago…
Patience is a virtue. Some weeks it gets a proper workout.
Apart from that:
• Warehouse is tidy.
Deliveries are labelled and organised.
Shop is tidy.
Office isn’t exactly tidy, but I can see my desk.

Maybe it’s time to do an online marketing course.
See you soon.
(Please.)

Today we delivered this Highgrove Medius into a beautifully refurbished bungalow (we love bungalows!) The customer has created a lovely bedroom, and the bed fits the space perfectly, right down to the colour.

The Medius is a new model for us. It has plenty of technical features and clever details but the important thing is simple - it feels every bit as good as it looks.

Sometimes a room and a bed just seem made for each other, and this was one of those deliveries.

Another week ticked off.

This week’s trade has been as diverse as this week’s weather.

Saturday was steady, mainly orders for spare rooms. I’ll take that though.

I was expecting Monday to be quiet, as last week wasn’t great, but I was kept on my feet with several customers in the shop.

The first set the tone, coming in to buy a mattress and leaving with two.

The next customer, exactly the same. That’s a good way to start a week for sure.

Tuesday continued the previous day’s pattern, with plenty of activity in the shop. I also had a few incoming deliveries, which caused a bit of chaos, but I managed to find a temporary home for most of it.

The day was capped off with an emergency delivery of a single bed to a young chap.

Mum and Dad returned on Wednesday. Dad and I had a few deliveries to get through while Mum held the fort. Sadly, it was a quiet day for her, with very few people coming in. I’ll dock her wages.

One delivery was the easiest you could imagine. Sensible-weight mattress, bungalow, bedroom right opposite the front door. Every other delivery was either awkward, heavy or time-consuming. But we live for it.

Thursday was incredibly quiet, but it picked up today, both in the shop and out delivering.

We’ve had three customers in the shop over 80. And if you’re up to date with these posts, you’ll know how I know they’re over 80…

The majority of this week’s customers have bought from us before and are coming back for more. One or two came off the back of a recommendation from a friend, and one couple hunted us down after reading a glowing online review.

A couple of floor models have sold this week too. I’ll update soon with which models are taking their place. One is a really good-quality upholstered frame with a pocket-sprung base.

Other exciting news, we have some extra-large feather pillows incoming, perfect for super king-size beds. They should be arriving in a couple of weeks.

I’m desperately trying to think of something hilarious that Nige has done this week, but he’s been fairly well behaved for a change. There’s the usual confusion between left and right, and his black-and-white brain taking everything I say completely literally, but that’s all fairly normal.

So, nothing overly exciting this week, but it’s felt good to be a bit busier.

Mum is in charge tomorrow, so come in and make her earn her wages!

One of today’s deliveries was this Denby divan.

Firm pocket spring mattress, fancy headboard, matching base in this case upgraded with 2 drawers. Delivered within a week of ordering huge choice of colours.

But enough about the bed, Big Nige now knows where Malta is.

Last job on Monday is to make room for incoming deliveries on Tuesday.

They have both arrived (at the same time…) so now Tuesday becomes an hour of working out what is stock, what is sold, finding out when it’s being delivered and getting it in the warehouse in a sensible manner.

Guaranteed I’ll put something at the back that needs to be at the front.

I’m not complaining though, get your orders in and make next Tuesday a nightmare for me!

Another week has flown by, helped along by a shorter working week thanks to the bank holiday, which has also pushed most of my incoming deliveries back this week. From a business perspective I wish bank holidays didn’t exist…

It’s been the quietest week of the year so far. We’ve had people through the door every day, which is good, but it’s been noticeably quiet. School holidays plus the heat equals nobody buying beds. Sucks to be me.

On the plus side, the warehouse is tidy for a change, I’ve managed to get a bit more painting done with some help from Mave off the telly, and we’ve been discussing a couple of new beds to go on the shop floor.

I’ve also cleaned out some guttering. It’s not all rock and roll.

Oh, and I finished the VAT return for the last quarter. Sexy stuff.

What’s Mum been up to? Taking it easy because apparently all you lot decided to take a week off from buying beds. She did manage to sell a headboard half price though. Go Mum.

A chap came in wanting a cheap headboard. We had one ex-display that I’d priced at £50. Mum told him it is £25…He came back the next day and I thought he was windong me up when he said “the young lady in the shop said it was £25.” He wasn’t 😂. Thanks mum….

Nige is definitely in holiday mode I think. Mum was giving him plenty of orders today and he was huffing and puffing like a spoilt teenager. One more week Dad. Stay strong.

We delivered a bed today to a chap in desperate need. He’d been to E & M in his hometown of Kirton but they couldn’t help given his specific requirements (there were quite a few), so they suggested he give us a try. He did, he’s happy, I’m happy, E & M maybe less so… Similar to ourselves, I’m sure they would rather miss a sale than try and sell something that isn’t right. Thanks guys.

Customer of the week goes to the 95-year-old lady who told me her age three times. I swear once people hit 80 they need you to know exactly how old they are. She wanted a medium feel double mattress with a very flat top. We had a couple of options at different price points and she’s chosen well. We’ll deliver that next week.

One bit of excitement I missed off last week - we’ve had new lights fitted in the shop. They’re ridiculously bright and a lovely crisp white, which makes a massive difference because we have very little natural light in most of the showroom. It genuinely looks better.

We’ve also had a couple of gifts this week from happy customers, a plant that I’ll try not to kill, and a couple of bottles of red that my dad definitely will. Thank you, it’s never necessary but it’s always appreciated.

I delivered to another amazing house tucked away in the countryside this week too. I’m fairly sure my entire house would fit inside their living room. Fair play to them.

That’s about it really. Nothing amazing happened, nothing terrible happened… that I know of yet.

I’m in the shop tomorrow from 9:30 till 3, so feel free to call in and spend all your money. Or some of it. I’m happy with some.

Peace out
