At Pull Down Bed Ltd, we know that space is at a premium in today’s homes—whether you’re in a modern flat, a Victorian terrace, or a converted loft. That’s why we specialise in bespoke pull-down beds that combine craftsmanship, clever design, and comfort.
But with so many options on the market, how do you choose the right pull-down bed for your space? With more than 15 years experience, we have helped hundreds of homeowners turn underused rooms into functional, stylish, multi purpose spaces. Here’s our expert guide to finding the perfect solution for your home.
1. Start with the space
The beauty of a pull-down bed is its ability to fit seamlessly into almost any room. But every space is different, so start by asking:
How will the room be used? A guest room that doubles as a study will benefit from integrated desks or shelving. A box room might suit a horizontal bed to maximise headroom.
What’s the ceiling height and floor area? We design both vertical and horizontal beds to suit rooms with sloped ceilings, alcoves, or limited clearance.
Are there radiators, plug sockets, or doors nearby? Our bespoke service means we can work around awkward layouts—no compromises necessary.
2. Pick the right orientation
We offer two primary formats:
Vertical Pull Down Beds: Ideal for standard height or taller rooms. These open from head to foot and are perfect for full-size beds or larger.
Horizontal Pull Down Beds: Open side-to-side and are ideal for tighter spaces, low ceilings, or loft conversions—common in many UK homes.
We’ll advise on which orientation works best for your space and sleeping needs.
3. Customise for functionality
One of the advantages of choosing Pull Down Bed Ltd is total customisation. Many of our clients want their bed to do more than sleep:
Built in desks for remote working or homework zones
Wardrobes, shelving, or drawers integrated around the bed
Soft close sofa beds that fold out without moving furniture
All our designs are handmade in the UK using durable materials and high-quality finishes tailored to your home’s style.
4. Choose your mattress size wisely
We build around standard UK mattress sizes: Single, Small Double, Double, and King. Our frames are designed to fit mattresses up to 30cm deep, so you don’t have to compromise on comfort.
Already have a mattress you love? Let us know and we’ll design the bed around it.
5. Look for safe, smooth operation
All of our pull-down beds use precision-engineered gas-lift mechanisms for effortless, silent opening and closing. We also include:
Secure locking systems
Slow close dampers
Child safe features for peace of mind
Every bed is built to last for years and withstand daily use.
6. Design that matches your style
Unlike off-the-shelf units, our beds are made to match your room, not the other way around. We offer:
Hand finished wood veneers
Painted panels in any Farrow & Ball or RAL colour
Contemporary or traditional designs to suit your interior
Whether you want a statement wall bed or something that blends in seamlessly, we make it to order.
7. Professional installation, nationwide
Your safety is our priority. That’s why we offer expert installation across the UK, ensuring your bed is mounted securely and aligned perfectly.
Our team will also walk you through how it works, so you’re confident using it day-to-day.
