The simplicity of the Billy Cast Iron Bed Frame makes it an ideal choice for a single bed or child's bed. Its simple design sits well in a contemporary or modern home where it adds character in a subtle way.
Hand cast at our Cornwall foundry and made with all the traditional fixings you would expect from an authentic re-production.
The Billy can also be manufactured as a bed surround, headboard, four-poster bed (with or without upholstered headboard) or as a bedstead with no foot end. You can order your Billy in any of our house metal colour options or in any colour not shown starting from an extra £100. If you would like to swap brass details for nickel on your bed, our team would be happy to personalise it for you starting from an extra £100, depending on design and brass elements included.
We cast our beds to exacting standards using time-honoured skills and craftsmanship. Every bed is made individually to order, numbered, and signed off by one of our craftsmen. With The Cornish Bed Company, you can be confident that your bedstead will last lifetimes and will become an antique in the future.
All our cast iron, brass and nickel beds, including our four posters are available in the nine standard UK mattress sizes. As we craft our beds to order, just for you, so we can customise the size of your bed as required.
