Does “Designed in Britain” mean your sofa was made here? Not necessarily. Discover the difference between British design and British manufacture, what “Designed in Italy” and “Italian leather” tell you, and which questions to ask before buying. At Coast Road Furniture and Prestatyn Furniture, most of our ranges are both designed and made in the UK, alongside selected furniture from overseas. We explain the labels so you can choose with confidence and know exactly where your furniture comes from.

When you need a complete new bed, comparing prices can be confusing. Does the price include the mattress? Are drawers extra? What about the headboard?

Our package deal beds bring those essentials together. Each of the four offers below includes a mattress, two-drawer divan base and headboard, with a choice of base and headboard fabrics at the same price.

These are four popular choices in our store, each with a different feel and appeal. All four mattresses are available to try in store, so you can compare them before deciding.
