Hand Tailoring
Burgess are "bespoke" bed manufacturers and have, throughout its long history, always created beds to suit the individual needs and requirements of each and every customer. These needs and requirements may necessitate the diligent following of a customer's personal specification, which deviates from standard. This deviation to the standard specification could be associated with special lengths, widths, shapes, overall heights, fillings, coverings, etc.
Any Size- Burgess will manufacture a bed of any length or width. Where space permits, we would recommend purchasing the largest bed possible . . . the bigger the bed, the more comfortable it is.
Zip and Link- If access is a problem, or for those people who may choose from time to time to create two separate beds, then we do manufacture zip and link sets in any of our specifications. For example, two 3' 0" mattresses and divans can be zipped and linked together in the room of use to create a 6' 0" wide bed. Furthermore, this design of product is ideal for people who wish to combine two mattresses of different tensions. This is particularly important for partners where there is a substantial difference in weight or indeed a different firmness requirement.
Any Height- The specification of the mattress dictates the depth of the mattress, typically 7" to 9" (128mm to 229mm). Burgess creates different height bed combinations by altering the height of the solid timber base.
- Medical/Allergy
- Burgess manufacture "wedge" shaped beds for those people suffering from varicose veins or hiatus hernia. Burgess also manufacture mattresses that offer help to some allergy sufferers by using hypoallergenic filling materials such as latex, polyester, borax treated cotton, etc.
Any Shape- Round beds, beds with cut outs for fourposter beds, wedge shaped beds that fit into the bow of boats are some examples of the different shapes that Burgess regularly manufacture.
Contemporary Versus Traditional- Even a traditional bed can be made to look contemporary by the simple addition of a modern leg or foot instead of the traditional castor. If people do want a totally contemporary base, then please be assured that a Burgess mattress can be made to fit any type of base, whether manufactured by Burgess or not.
- Create Your Own Look
- Many customers wish to make a feature of their divan. If any of our range of fabrics is not to their taste, then we can upholster any of our divans or headboards in customer's own fabric.
