How do Heli-Beds offer high quality beds and great value for money?

For over 19 years, our family run business has been selling high quality beds and offering great value for money to our customers. In our last blog we explained why (& how) we provided same day delivery to most of England & Wales. This time we explain how we can offer high quality beds and great value for money.

We have learnt from many years of experience that building strong working relationships with our suppliers is key to achieving both high product quality and high standards of service from them too.


We travel the world

We buy beds to our own specification from some of Britain’s best bed manufacturers. We also source beds from abroad and regularly travel to furniture exhibitions all over the world. In the last year, we have travelled to Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, China and Brazil to ensure we continue to source high quality beds and great value.

As well as visiting trade exhibitions, we also believe it is important to visit the factories that manufacture Heli-Beds products to review designs and specifications and to check that production meets Heli-Beds high quality standards.

Where possible we like to create our own exclusive designs, for example in our ranges of wood frame beds, metal bed frames and our mattress range.


Great value for money
Once we have agreed the quality specification, we do everything possible to minimise costs and provide great value. We place big orders and never buy anything less than a 40ft container of beds at a time, which can often contain over 1000 beds.

By buying in bulk, Heli-Beds purchasing power ensures we buy beds at the best price which means we can offer our customers great value for money.

At Heli-Beds we are proud to offer high quality beds and great value for money as well as the Heli-Beds same day beds service.

Welcome to the Heli-Beds Same Day Beds Blog

Hello and welcome to the Heli-Beds Same Day Beds blog. For over 19 years, our family run business has been selling high quality beds and offering great value to our customers plus the Heli-Beds difference of same day delivery.

Same day delivery
When we started, we were surprised that none of our competitors offered same day delivery, so when we set up our first store in
Swindon we offered same day delivery. 19 years on, we have become one of the UK’s fastest growing independent bed retailers and have grown from 1 store to over 50 stores and are now able to offer same day delivery to most of England & Wales.

How do we do it?
We strongly believe that if a customer wants to buy a bed, it’s natural to want it the same day. At Swindon we have a 60,000 square feet purpose-built warehouse (supported by 2 other warehouses) with a massive stock of beds, mattresses and sofa beds, all
in stock for same day delivery.

We have our own fleet of 40 Mercedes vans ready to deliver to customers around the country the bed they want, when they want it.

Our new Heli-Beds website
When we launched our new
Heli-Beds website in September 07, we again focused on same day delivery. On the home page, we have a UK map showing our Gold Same Day Delivery Area, which covers most of England & Wales. On this page you can enter your postcode to find out the delivery dates available over the next 2 weeks and the delivery cost for your postcode

19 years on, same day delivery still sets Heli-Beds apart from other bed retailers and as our TV ads proudly claim, with Heli-Beds our service is ‘order by lunchtime, delivered by bedtimeTM.
