Azucena Strip Bed — Handcrafted Strip Bed in 60+ Colours, Starting From £349

The Azucena Strip Bed is one of the most searched upholstered bed styles in the UK right now — and for good reason. The signature horizontal panelling across the headboard creates a clean, structured look that sits equally well in a modern city apartment or a classic British master bedroom. No gimmicks. No visual clutter. Just a well-built, deeply customisable strip bed frame that anchors a room.

What Makes a Strip Bed Different?

A strip bed (also known as a panel bed or horizontal stitch bed) features a series of raised parallel sections across the headboard, creating a layered, three-dimensional texture that flat-panel beds simply cannot replicate. It photographs beautifully, catches light from different angles throughout the day, and holds its shape for years — especially when upholstered in a premium fabric like Plush Velvet or Chenille.

Build Yours From Scratch

This is where the Azucena beats every competitor on the market. While other strip beds give you a handful of colours and call it done, here you get a complete build:

Choose your size — Single 3ft, Small Double 4ft, Double 4ft6, King Size 5ft, or Super King 6ft. Select your fabric from nine premium options: Arizona, Boucle Teddy, Chenille, Coniston, Crushed Velvet, Faux Leather, Linen, Naples, or Plush Velvet. Then pick your colour from over 60 carefully curated shades — from Naples Mink and Coniston Sage through to Crushed Velvet Champagne and Plush Mustard Gold.

Beyond fabric, you can set your headboard height (+10cm to +40cm above standard), choose your base — standard slat, gas lift storage, or divan ottoman end-lift — and optionally add a footstool or a full ottoman storage box. No two beds leave our workshop looking identical.

Mattress Options Included

Don’t sleep on this (pun intended): the Azucena can be paired with a 1000, 2000, or 3000 Pocket Spring mattress, including Pillow Top and Memory Foam variants — all at checkout, with no separate order needed. Our pocket spring mattresses are individually nested, meaning your partner’s movement stays on their side of the bed.

Professional Assembly Available

Flat-pack stress? Not here. Select the assembly option at checkout and our team will set the bed up in a room of your choice. All we ask is that the space is clear and accessible.
