French Bedroom

What French Bedroom does

French Bedroom (legal entity: The French Bedroom Company Limited) is a UK-based, female-founded direct-to-consumer e-commerce retailer of luxury French-style bedroom furniture, founded in 2006 by Georgia Metcalfe in Haywards Heath. The company's product portfolio is anchored by handcrafted French beds (upholstered, rattan, and wooden), supplemented by the Paris Mattress Collection (Pillow Top 5000, Dreamer 6000, Cashmere Clouds 9350), premium bed linen in cotton sateen, percale, silk, and linen, plus complementary bedroom furniture (bedside tables, chests, armoires, seating), lighting (chandeliers, table lamps), and décor (mirrors, cushions, fragrance). Seven branded sub-collections (Love Story, Clair de Lune, Douceur, Gustavian, Timeless Toile, Secret Garden, French Romance) provide curated design IP, and the company holds original hand-drawn toile designs and brand registrations. In 2025 the company announced an extension of its bed linen prints into cotton pyjamas, nightdresses, dressing gowns and eye masks as a new sub-brand.

The business operates an online-only DTC model on a Magento 2 platform integrated with PayPal, Klarna, Clearpay, Apple Pay, Google Pay (payments), Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, CrazyEgg, Facebook Pixel, Bing Ads (analytics and acquisition), Klaviyo (email), Algolia (site search), and reCAPTCHA (anti-fraud). Ancillary revenue streams include optional White Glove delivery (£60 for full assembly), Omni Capital retail finance, fabric and wood sample sales, and Staingard furniture insurance. Pricing is publicly disclosed and unit-based: beds £795–£1,995+, mattresses £1,395–£4,445, bed linen £35–£125.

The customer base is individual UK consumers seeking feminine French-style bedroom furniture; the company serves only mainland Britain with 3–5 day delivery. Customer acquisition relies on content-led organic marketing (the Le Journal blog, Instagram @FrenchBedroom, Klaviyo email, SEO), user-generated content via the Styled By You program, and a 2026 Glyndebourne Festival cultural sponsorship. According to a 2025 article, the company reported a record-breaking year with revenue up 30% and profits increasing fivefold; the business is bootstrapped and owner-operated without external investment or PE backing.
