Description


The Kensington Bed is a great looking bed with a very architectural style from the evenly spaced verticals making up its head end. Because of this feature in its design, the Kensington takes on a rather splendid and traditional look when finished in any of our reddish tone finishes (light mahogany or dark mahogany lacquer, for example). But if you order the Kensington in any of the painted finishes, including white and black, it works beautifully in very contemporary rooms.
Specifying your bed


Use the finish selector to help you decide which finish would look best in your space. Then pick the size you want and tell us how many you’d like. (Well, sometimes people want more than one!) Once you’ve done that, carry on and add a mattress… and maybe some of our big, strong, wheeled underbed storage drawers. If you have questions, or need more details about any of our beds or bedroom furniture, just call us or use our contact form.
Bed Measurements
Bed sizes are always described using the size of the mattress the bed takes, so the dimensions you’ll see on our Bed Size menu are actually the length and width of the mattress. If you need the external dimensions of the wooden frame for this bed, add 4.75in (12cm) to the length and width.
Lead time
Your Taurus wooden bed will be handbuilt for you in our factory to your exact choice of style, size and finish, as well as any bespoke adjustments you might ask for. Naturally, to build a beautiful, quality bed for you takes a few days. We aim to deliver beds in 4-6 weeks from receiving your order. We’ll agree your actual delivery date with you when we telephone you to confirm the order. If it’s important to you to have your bed sooner than 4-6 weeks, please tell us and we’ll see what we can do to help.

What people say
"Our Kensington Bed is the first 'serious' bed we've owned, as opposed to a cheap and cheerful effort from IKEA. It was four years after we moved in before we got round to doing our bedroom and I was determined to have a bed that I really loved. I wanted it to be wide, and roomy so we could stretch out - we have a decent sized room so that was possible, luckily.
We picked the Kensington and ordered it in the Teak Lacquer finish to fit in with the earthy, mossy grey we'd chosen for our carpet.
It looks absolutely fantastic, and I love the verticals of the headboard. I think Tim likes the touch of masculinity they add so that it doesn't look overtly girly and definitely not too macho.
Most important of all, though... we bought a Salus Contempo mattress to go on it, and the combination is incredible."Cordelia H, West Wittering
