Types of bed accessories
There are distinct accessory groups for function and form.
Bed guard and bed bumper
Bed guards protect sleepers from rolling off or out.
Use bed guards for toddlers and bed bumpers for toddlers and adults who need soft edges. They reduce nighttime injuries and improve peace of mind.
Bed canopy and princess bed canopy
Canopies add style and light control with minimal effort.
Choose a double bed canopy for adult beds or a princess bed canopy for children’s rooms. Canopies also create a cosy microclimate and reduce light penetration.
Bed covers, waterproof bed cover and divan bed covers
Bed covers protect mattresses and refresh bedroom aesthetics.
Waterproof bed covers keep mattresses dry from spills and pets. Use divan bed covers or sofa bed covers sized to match your base for a neat finish.
Long cushion for bed and donut bed
Cushions and shaped beds improve ergonomics and comfort.
Long cushions are great for reading and lumbar support. Donut beds serve pets and people needing pressure relief. These items boost sleep quality.
Raised bed liner and bed roll out
Raised liners and roll-out solutions protect and extend bed utility.
Raised bed liners protect slatted frames and keep bedding tidy. A bed roll out gives quick access to under-bed storage without heavy lifting.
Profile bed and custom bed
Profile and custom beds fit unique bedrooms and needs.
Profile beds adjust for comfort and medical needs. Custom beds allow built-in storage, bespoke sizes, and tailored upholstery for Yorkshire homes.
Choosing the right bed accessories
Start with function, then match style and size.
Measure your mattress and base before buying. Pick materials that suit use: waterproof fabrics for children, upholstered finishes for bedrooms, and breathable cotton for canopies. Always confirm sizing—double bed canopy must fit the frame properly.
Buying beds and accessories in Yorkshire
Yorkshire offers many local showrooms and online options with fast delivery.
Visit local retailers to test comfort and view materials in person; 60% of buyers prefer showrooms for luxury beds. For a curated accessories range, see the AQ Beds accessories collection (aqbeds.co.uk/collections/accessories). Local makers often provide custom services and quick handcraft turnarounds.
Promotions and financing
Look for seasonal discounts and 0% finance plans from reputable stores.
Many Yorkshire retailers run Autumn and holiday sales with big savings on storage ottomans and covers. AQ Beds and other retailers often list 0% finance options for larger purchases. Check MoneyHelper for impartial finance guidance before applying (moneyhelper.org.uk).
Quality and craftsmanship
Quality depends on materials, build, and local manufacturing standards.
Handmade beds from Yorkshire use sturdy frames and quality upholstery. Look for natural fillings, reinforced stitching, and warranties. Yorkshire-sourced pieces often carry better repair support and provenance.
Product support and disposal
Good retailers offer delivery, assembly, and furniture disposal options.
Ask about warranties, return windows, and disposal of old furniture at purchase. Local councils and gov.uk provide guidance on bulky waste and recycling logistics; check local advice at the government waste pages (gov.uk/waste guidance).
