🏊‍♀️ Supporting our local community, in and out of the pool! 💙

At The Bed Barn, we believe that looking after your wellbeing is about more than just getting a good night's sleep. Staying active, keeping healthy and being part of a supportive community are just as important.

That's why we were proud to sponsor a recent local swimming event, the Blue Ribbon Carnival, organised by Ice Breaker Aquatics! 🏊‍♂️

As a locally owned, family business, we believe in giving back to the community that has supported us for so many years. Supporting local events, clubs and activities is one small way we can help keep our community thriving.

Whether it's sleeping well, staying active or supporting local, it's all about helping people live well.

🛏️ Wanting an adjustable bed but NOT the foam mattress they generally come with?

Good news 🙌 You don’t have to settle for foam! The Bed Barn custom makes pocket spring mattresses for adjustable beds, in the comfort level that suits you.

🌬️ BETTER AIRFLOW
Pocket springs allow air to circulate through the mattress, helping reduce the hot, enclosed feeling some people experience with all-foam mattresses.

💪 SUPPORT & EASIER MOVEMENT
Pocket springs provide responsive support without the deeper sinking feeling of some softer foams.

👉 Already have an adjustable bed?
You may not need to replace the whole bed. Ask us whether a custom pocket spring mattress could work with your existing base.

👉 Shopping for a new adjustable bed?
We sell adjustable bases with features including anti-snoring positions, massage and USB charging ports.

Come in and try an adjustable bed for yourself! 🛏️✨

Our new Whanganui home is open! 🎉

We’re incredibly excited to have relocated The Bed Barn Whanganui to the beautiful Old Treasury Building at 98 Victoria Avenue.

We absolutely love what this space has become. It’s full of character, our beds are now on display, and most importantly, there’s plenty of room to come in, take your time and find the mattress that feels right for you.

Davey and Lauren, our Whanganui shop managers, would love to welcome you in, show you around and help you find your perfect bed.

We’re open 7 days a week, so if you’re passing through Victoria Avenue, come in and say hello. 😊

✨ The right headboard doesn’t just finish the bed… it finishes the room. ✨

Your bed is the centrepiece of your bedroom - so why not make it a feature? 🛏️💫

A beautiful headboard can instantly transform the look and feel of your room, adding style, comfort and that finished touch. 🤍

At The Bed Barn, we have a wide range of headboard styles to suit every bedroom - from elegant and timeless to modern and statement-making.

🎨 Choose your style
📏 Available in a range of sizes
🪡 A selection of upholstery colours and textures
✨ Made to complement your Bed Barn bed

But if you're not getting the best night's sleep, it might be time to look beyond the headboard too. 😴

A mattress that’s no longer giving you the comfort and support you need can make a big difference to how you sleep. A mattress upgrade could be just what you need for better nights and brighter mornings. 🌙💤

So whether your bedroom needs a style upgrade, a comfort upgrade - or both, come and see us at The Bed Barn. 🛏️🇳🇿

🛏️ Thinking about an adjustable bed? It might be time to think beyond the traditional flat bed.

Split adjustable beds are becoming one of the most popular sleep upgrades for couples – and it's easy to see why.

✔️ Each person controls their own side of the bed
✔️ Less partner disturbance during the night
✔️ Great for reading, watching TV or simply relaxing
✔️ May help relieve pressure on your back, neck and joints
✔️ Can help reduce snoring by gently elevating your upper body

One thing many people don't realise is that the right mattress is just as important as the adjustable base. While many adjustable beds come with foam mattresses, specially designed pocket spring mattresses can also provide outstanding support, comfort and flexibility.

And adjustable beds aren't just for hospitals or older people anymore. They're a stylish, modern sleep solution for anyone who values comfort and better quality sleep.

Visit our website to read our full article and discover whether a split adjustable bed could be the perfect fit for your home.

❄️ Want a warmer bed this winter? Start with what's inside your mattress.

Not all mattresses are made the same.🛏

At The Bed Barn, every mattress we make features a natural New Zealand wool underlay - a quality material that's been trusted for generations, adding an extra layer of warmth and comfort.

Why New Zealand wool?

🐑 Stay warmer naturally - Wool is an excellent natural insulator, helping create a warm, cosy sleep on cold winter nights.

🌿 Sleep comfortably year-round - Wool is naturally breathable, helping regulate your sleeping temperature.

💧 Wake up feeling fresher - Wool naturally helps manage moisture to create a drier, more comfortable sleeping environment.

Combined with our handcrafted construction and premium materials, it's just one of the reasons our locally made mattresses have been helping New Zealanders sleep better for over 38 years.

Come into one of our showrooms and experience the difference for yourself.
