Iron Beds & Metal Beds

What makes our iron beds & metal bed frames special?

Iron beds are mostly valued for their durability, stylish elegance, cost effective features and versatility. Their everlasting design means you can pass one down from generation to generation.

Cast and wrought iron bed frames were introduced at the end of the 19th century, in the Victorian age. Vintage iron bed frames were handmade from pouring the iron and polishing detailed castings to the last finishing touches.

The Original Bed Company has been working with these traditional techniques for the last 20 years. Till today we produce beautifully handcrafted metal bed frames. Each of our beds is hand cast with attention to every little detail.

While there are a lot of cheaper metal bed frames in the Indian market, our metal bed frames are designed to be sturdy and built to last. Our iron beds are better engineered, can withstand more weight and last longer all the while having better fit and finish. Our packaging is designed to endure the journey from us to your home.
