Stuart Cann, owner of Devon-based luxury bed maker Enchanted House Beds, shares the wonderful story behind one of the UK’s fastest growing bed manufacturers.
The team of passionate bed makers at Enchanted House Beds have been handcrafting bespoke beds and mattresses for a decade. Masters of its trade, with its creations found throughout homes and hotels across the UK, the business has an ever-growing list of trusted stockists, distributing its premium mattresses and divan beds to private clients across the country.
The core materials for its bed manufacturing comes from its very own private family farm in the heart of Dartmoor. “With over a century of sheep farming experience, all of our luxury mattresses contain wool from our own farm and the surrounding farming community,” says Stuart. “By choosing our luxury beds, you are receiving a piece of our heritage, filled with passion, love and the finest materials Devon has to offer.”
In fact, Stuart learnt from an early age how to make great beds. As a teenager he started working for the much-loved and kindly remembered company, Sprung Slumber in Okehampton, Devon. Working from the shop floor at Sprung Slumber and finishing his employed career at ViSpring as Manufacturing Manager, Stuart always dreamed of owning his own luxury bed manufacturing company.
“It must have been written in the stars as my first love is the daughter of a shepherding family on Dartmoor,” Stuart said. “So, with a supply of top quality Dartmoor wool from the family farm and my know-how of making luxury beds, Enchanted House Beds was born. We are passionate about what we do. This is why we are happy to emblazon each and every made-to-order mattress with our Enchanted House Beds makers mark.”
Since the early days of making just one bed a week, the business has continued to grow while remaining, importantly, profitable and always family orientated. This past month marks the 10-year anniversary of Enchanted House Beds, with the company celebrating the historic milestone by joining the National Bed Federation (NBF).
“What better way is there to mark our special anniversary? We have now joined the NBF and will be taking a stand at the Bed Show,” Stuart revealed. “This is the first chance for the trade to see the beds and meet the team as well as the family behind Enchanted House Beds. We are all very excited.”
Commenting on the show, Tracy Selway, National Sales Manager, added: “We can’t wait to show the trade just how wonderful the beds are and the opportunity for retailers to hugely benefit from our way of trading. Make sure you come and see us and we look forward to welcoming you on our stand.”
