Ethical Beds and Green Treen by Neil Sinclair.
You live in a beautiful distinctive home; why not sleep in a bed to match?
Ethical beds are a new take on designer furniture: completely original, quirky and full of character. These beds aren't mass-produced with some designer's name slapped on them: each is individually designed and crafted by one man in a workshop. Absolutely
unique - you will never hear the words "That's the same bed as ours"! What is more, everything I make has excellent ecological credentials: apart from the slats of the beds - which are from sustainable sources - everything is reclaimed, sourced by me from the salvage yards and shorelines of the North West. So if you are looking for furniture that is both ethical and individual, you may well have found your site!
No trees were harmed in the making of these beds.
The timbers I use may well have been cut two centuries ago and have already had a long working life, such as supporting the roofs and floors of factories and homes, and they have been cleaned, cut, crafted and polished to bring out the distinctiveness of the wood, becoming objects of beauty and use. And in an environment where the carbon footprint of what we buy is becoming increasingly important, you can rest assured that the foremost energy source in the production of my beds is elbow grease!
All the beds are made to fit standard mattress sizes, eg. king size is 5' x 6'6", although the actual footprint of each bed is considerably larger due to the thickness of the timber encasing the mattress. Payment is by cheque for the deposit then the balance in cash on delivery. Delivery and installation charges range from free in the Greater Manchester area to £200 to the furthest reaches of the British mainland. My aim is to provide a completely personal service, so I deliver and install the beds myself, tailoring the bed to the location, so if you want, say, the bed to fit flush with the wall I will cut a notch to fit the skirting board on site.
