Read InfoIf visitors to our workshops remark on the sheer size and presence of our standard Ambassador bed, they’re lost for words when they see the splendid four-poster version.
It’s no surprise that this is one of the biggest beds we make. Not only are the dimensions of this bed impressive, but the build of the bed is equally substantial – a weighty four-poster bed made from a choice of solid oak or pine.
Most customers ask for this four-poster bed in super kingsize or wider—up to 8ft Caesar size. However, if you’d like something even bigger or if you need a special height, just ask. We’re more than happy to build a custom-sized four-poster bed to your requirements. We can even supply bespoke-sized mattresses and bedding.
In addition to a range of natural wood finishes, the Ambassador four-poster bed is also available in premium 150-200-year-old solid oak – our most popular wood choice.

The Ambassador 4 poster bed that I received is a thing of true beauty, the craftsmanship that is exhibited in its form justifies the price tag. The team that arrived to construct the bed were extremely affable and pleasant, even with the hideous climb they were forced to endure to get to my attic room. I highly recommend this product. The only reason this isn't a 5 star review is that I don't like seeing the discs that (I assume) mask the connectors for the top frame. Although the colour closely matches the main frame of the bed the grain doesn't quite! If it was possible to be a 4.9 it would be.
