The National Bed Federation is the recognised trade association representing UK manufacturers of beds and mattresses and their suppliers. Whatever your interest in the UK bed market - whether you are an existing member, a potential member, a consumer, a bed retailer or specifier, or have some other interest in our industry - we hope you find what you are looking for here. If not, please contact us direct with your query and if we can, we'll answer it.

Our Members

We maintain this on-line directory of our current members with contact details and web site links. It is divided into bed manufacturers and suppliers, for ease of use.

NBF Guidelines

Sometimes, problems do have a common solution and the NBF encourages its members and the rest of the industry to follow industry standards and guidelines where it makes sense. This part of our site hosts any current guidelines that have been developed, such as colour coding packaging for item sizing.

Product Finder

Looking for a particular product? Perhaps our Product Finder - effectively a classified search mechanism - can help you identify a suitable supplier. Each year we send our members a comprehensive questionnaire to keep on top of their changing product lines and of new developments in the industry. If you can't find what you're looking for here, please contact us and we'll do our best to match you up with a suitable supplier.

Consumer Enquiries

If you want advice on buying a new bed, visit The Sleep Council site. It is packed with tips and advice on what to look for and how to shop for a new bed. There's also lots of information on how to get a better night's sleep.

If you are a consumer after answers about a recent purchase, click here. We don't deal formally with complaints but we've amassed quite a bit of experience from dealing with consumer queries over many years so we may be able to set your mind at rest or tell you what to do next.
