Enjoy a Two-Night Luxury Hotel Stay for Two!

I have decided to offer a high-end, luxury ‘experience gift’ every time somebody recommends us to a friend or loved one, who goes on to purchase an Abberley bed. There’ll be a different type of experience each month, for example, a meal for two at a Michelin-starred restaurant, bed & breakfast at a cosy country hotel, or even a hot air balloon ride! Plus, the people you refer will also receive a special free gift. Just get them to mention your name when they order!

GLOWING REVIEWS

“Have recently purchased an Abberley Adjustable Bed to help cope with my wife’s increasing disability. The bed is every bit as good as we hoped it would be. It is well built, sturdy, comfortable, very good value for money, and most importantly delivers a good night’s sleep.”

Derek Hoolahan

“I am writing to let you know how pleased we are with the bed we recently purchased. The bed is very comfortable and supportive, and we have both slept very well right from the first night. Swift and trouble-free delivery from a very pleasant young man who was polite, unobtrusive, and explained everything to us have left us very happy customers. We would have no hesitation in recommending you and only wish we had known about your company sooner.”

Diane Alexander

"Our bed arrived on time yesterday. When we went to bed, we turned the massage units on, and I was asleep before it finished. It was the best night’s sleep in ages! The quality of the beds and bedside drawers is excellent. We are looking forward to many years of service from these beds.”

Ray and Selma Phillips

“Just a note to let you know how delighted I am with my new adjustable beds that I received last Wednesday. At last I was able to enjoy a good night’s rest, and this has made such a difference to my overall well-being. I was also very impressed by the efficiency and expertise shown in the installation of the new beds and removal of my old bed.”
