There are many different types of bed on sale – including the ever popular metal and wooden farmed varieties û as well as a myriad of styles and colours for the consumer to choose from.

One of the most popular beds on sale at John Lewis at the moment is the Jennifer Upholstered Bedstead, which due to it being king size  is absolutely massive and totally targeted towards those who want some luxury in their life.

The bedstead itself is upholstered with white linen which although it requires regular cleaning looks stunning, especially when combined with some brighter bedcovers. This effect works really well in a more modern room but for those with more traditional tastes it is just as acceptable to use a more neutral bedcover, making the bed fit in with a more sedate feel. The headboard is also upholstered in the same fabric and is rather large, providing a great centerpiece for any bedroom.

As well as looking amazing, the Jennifer also gives the owner the best possible night of sleep, due to a couple of features. Firstly, the bed is extremely stable which ensures that it does not shake in the night and disrupt the sleepers slumber. Secondly, the slats that make up the base are of excellent quality, therefore ensuring that the mattress stays stable and doesn’t disfigure with prolonged use.

Another huge feature of getting a good night of sleep is to have an excellent mattress and surprise, surprise  John Lewis sells these too! Probably the best quality mattress to combine with this bed is the king size Natural Collection mattress, which is really at the top of the range. This hand-made product uses an amazing 5000 springs to ensure that sleep is of fantastic quality, as well as having an excellent resilience to damage due to it having a small amount of hemp woven in to the fabric. If this mattress is used in conjunction with the Jennifer, then ever the worst sleeper will find themselves not waking until the morning!

All of the other products are of just as much quality, with many available even for those with a small budget. As well as beds and mattresses, they also offer a great selection of bed covers, bedroom furniture and all manner of other things that make a bedroom look great!
