Sofa Beds

Anyone that has passed by our shop windows over the weekend may have noticed a new addition to our furniture ranges.

We currently have on display three brand new sofa beds.

Three styles are available, all featuring a wonderfully easy click-click motion which converts the stylish sofa into an additional bed in next to no time at all.

a beautiful choice of faux leather colours, including black, white and brown add a contemporary look to an age old, space saving problem, whilst the clean lines of the minimalist style sofa means it would not appear out of place in a modern lounge, it would be equally adaptable in a spare room in need of a space-saving makeover.

our weekend with Hippo

Out with the old and in with the new.


And this past week has seen plenty of both.

All but a very few pieces remain of our Pine and Oak furniture displays, as we enter a new phase of our store's future as James Allen Bedrooms.

In its vacant position we are now proudly displaying a huge selection of beds and mattresses of all types.

We have 3' (single) mattresses starting from £49.99 and 4'6" (double) mattresses starting from £99.99, we have pocket sprung and we have memory foam, we even have memory latex, we have wooden beds, metal beds, divans and a whole host of headboards to choose from.

And we also have a new supplier.


As we launched Bedzzz, our brand new bed and mattress department, we felt that we needed to be showing the very best, and offering the very best choice to our customers, so we went direct to the country's most recognisable mattress brand, Silentnight.

And with a launch weekend planned, Silentnight sent a very special guest to our shop to watch over proceedings and ensure we were doing a good enough job.

Hippo was far too excited to stay in the shop though and could be seen dancing outside for the whole of Saturday and Sunday, waving to cars, making friends with children, getting plenty of attention from grown women and posing for loads of photos!

Hippo even went for a quick walk around Enfield Town and caused quite a stir wherever he went.

We know we certainly enjoyed our weekend with Hippo, and we're pretty sure that he was having fun too!

If you posed for a photo with Hippo, or just want to see what he got up to, head over to facebook where you can 'like' James Allen Bedrooms' and start tagging the photos of yourselves.

mattress clearance and bean bag sale

Businesses sometimes like to do something a little extra special for the Bank Holidays, and we are certainly no exception.

Starting tomorrow (Saturday 28th May) we shall be running a massive warehouse clearance sale on mattresses.

Opening up the doors of one of our storage warehouses at our Crews Hill branch, and slashing the prices on the overstock of mattresses and a handful of divan bases.

also instore at Enfield and Crews Hill you will find a number of reductions and offers across the store, including 10% off all Bean Bags whilst our stocks last.

back to work

Many of our customers shall now be settling back into their jobs after all the excitement of the Easter bank holidays, but other than allowing staff to be with their families on Easter Sunday, and to watch the Royal Wedding last week, we have still been here working hard.

Our Easter Sale saw a number of ex-display models reduced and cleared from our shop floors, and it has taken us no time at all to fill the gaps with our latest range of beds that we have been rolling out across both of our stores.

On display in the window of our Enfield Town branch is a brand new pine bunk bed that we are introducing since we so often get asked for them, and although we have them available from suppliers, we do feel that many people would like to see them for theirselves before buying.

Joining the bunk bed is a beautifully modern chrome bed that sits wonderfully alongside our contemporary fitted bedrooms and is has already sparked interest amongst those that couldn't fail to notice it while browsing.

And for us now, we have a few choices of new bedrooms displays to order in that shall be fitted in our showroom by summer, we have a London based furniture exhibition to attend, as well as a trip to Germany in order to visit our supplier's huge factory, view their latest lines and hear their plans for the future.

I assure you that we're open

Blanking out two large windows for a week as we prepared our brand new display away from prying eyes seems to have had a rather adverse effect.

Despite large signs in each window declaring that a new range would be in the window soon, some people seemed to have got the wrong impression and simply assumed that we were closing down.

Some people muttered to their other halves as they strolled past that 'another business had gone under', whilst other, more concerned, citizens have come into the shop or even rung us to ask if we would be shutting down.

So today, the windows were wiped clean, unveiling our Enfield Town branch's new display of Altro furniture that has already proved successful when installed at our Crews Hill branch.

And joining the stunning, modern looking range of wardrobes is a rather classy looking bed from a new line that we have just started running, other beds available include metal framed bedsteads, leather bedsteads and also children's cabin and bunk beds.

All of these we shall be rolling out across both branches once we have cleared a few more ex-demo beds, so there is also bargains to be had, and available for immediate collection.

In summary then, no, we're not closing down, yes, we're staying exactly where we are, and now have even more new ranges than ever before.
