Chesterfield Princess Bed, Classic Elegance, Built Right for Your Bedroom

Not every bed stops you mid-scroll. This one does. The Chesterfield Princess is a bedroom centrepiece that transforms the whole room — deep button-tufted headboard, six premium fabrics, thirty-plus colour options, and a build designed to last well past the warranty. From £279, currently at 20% off, with an additional £50 off using code SAVE50 until July 2026.

Three Centuries of the Chesterfield Bed — Still the Standard Everything Else Is Measured By

The diamond button tufting that defines the Chesterfield style has been around for over 300 years. That’s not a coincidence — it’s proof of concept. What started as a hallmark of Georgian British craftsmanship became the benchmark for upholstered bedroom furniture, and it hasn’t needed updating since.

The Chesterfield Princess takes that original blueprint and gives it a proper modern specification: six fabric types, customisable headboard height, optional under-bed storage, and mattress bundles available at checkout. Everything that made the style iconic, with nothing you’d find lacking.

Built Around You — Every Detail Is Yours to Choose

The Chesterfield Princess is one of the most customisable upholstered beds in its price range. Here’s what you’re working with:

Sizes Available

Single (3ft) · Small Double (4ft) · Double (4ft 6) · King Size (5ft) · Super King (6ft). Whether you’re furnishing a guest room or committing to a proper master bedroom, there’s a size that fits without compromise.

Headboard Height Options

Standard headboard, or extend it by +10cm, +20cm, +30cm, or a full +40cm. The taller extensions create a genuinely dramatic boutique hotel effect — the kind that makes a room look properly designed rather than just furnished.

Fabrics & Colours

Six fabric types, each with its own colour palette — over thirty combinations in total:

• Plush Velvet — rich, deep texture that complements button tufting perfectly; silver, grey, black, mink, teal, sky blue, and more
• Crush Velvet — high-sheen finish; brilliant in silver, gold, and black
• Chenille — warm, subtly textured upholstery; ideal in mink or charcoal for a grounded bedroom feel
• Coniston — contemporary and versatile; suits modern and traditional interiors equally
• Naple Fabric — structured and refined; the best pick for neutral palettes and minimalist bedroom design
• Teddy Fabric — soft-touch upholstery with a genuinely cosy, tactile quality; the comfort-first choice

The Chesterfield Bed With Storage That Actually Works

Under-bed storage is either an afterthought or a genuine upgrade — it depends entirely on how it’s built. On the Chesterfield Princess, two serious options are available:

Gas-Lift Storage Base — a hydraulic mechanism lifts the mattress smoothly to reveal a full-width storage cavity. Bedding, seasonal clothing, spare pillows — kept out of sight, easy to reach whenever you need them.

Divan Ottoman Storage — an end-lift system integrated into the divan base. Clean from the outside, generous inside. The headboard and frame design remain completely unaffected by whichever base you choose.

Add Your Mattress at Checkout

Six mattress options, matched to your frame size, added in the same step — no separate orders, no sizing guesswork:

• Spring Memory Foam (Soft to Medium) — pressure relief with responsive support; a solid all-rounder
• 1000 Pocket Spring (Medium to Firm) — individual spring pockets reduce motion transfer; well-suited to couples
• 2000 Pocket Spring (Firm) — the most popular pick; full support without a hard surface feel
• 3000 Pocket Spring (Firm) — hotel-grade spring count; a noticeably different quality of support
• Orthopaedic Memory Foam — contours to spinal alignment; the best option for managing lower back discomfort
• HERA 2000 Pocket Mattress — a premium build above the standard 2000; recommended for long-term everyday use

What Customers Ask Before They Buy

What makes a Chesterfield bed different from other upholstered bed frames?

The defining feature is the hand-button-tufted headboard — stitching through deep layers of padding creates a structured diamond pattern that catches light and holds its shape over time. It looks substantially more detailed than a plain panel headboard and is the signature element that gives the Chesterfield style its lasting character.

What sizes does the Chesterfield Princess come in?

The Chesterfield Princess is available in Single (3ft), Small Double (4ft), Double (4ft 6), King Size (5ft), and Super King (6ft). Headboard height can be customised independently across all sizes.

Can I get the Chesterfield Princess with storage?

Yes — choose a gas-lift storage base (full-width cavity, accessed by lifting the mattress) or a divan ottoman storage base (end-lift system). Both options preserve the visual design of the headboard and frame completely, with no visible storage hardware on the exterior.

Which fabric works best on a Chesterfield bed?

Plush Velvet is the most popular choice — the texture visually complements the diamond button tufting. Crush Velvet creates a bolder, higher-sheen effect. For a warmer or more relaxed atmosphere, Chenille and Teddy Fabric are the better fits. Coniston and Naple suit neutral, contemporary bedrooms.

Is a mattress included with the Chesterfield Princess?

A mattress is not included by default, but six options can be added at checkout — from Spring Memory Foam to the HERA 2000 Pocket Mattress. Pricing varies by mattress type and bed size, starting from £69.99.

Is professional assembly available for the Chesterfield Princess?

Yes. Assembly costs £49.99 and is selected at checkout. The Johnstones Beds team assembles the bed in your chosen room — the room and access route must be clear before the team arrives.
