Caster

What Caster does

Caster (Caster CZ s.r.o.) is a Czech custom furniture manufacturer founded in 1999 that designs, builds, and installs space-saving loft beds, bunk beds, and suspended beds for residential customers. Production is consolidated at a dedicated facility in Chrastava, northern Bohemia, with the registered headquarters in Liberec, and the entire value chain (design consultation, manufacturing, delivery, and professional assembly) runs in-house. The company's technical differentiator is a steel bearing construction backed by a lifetime structural warranty, paired with expansion plug wall anchoring and ceiling-mounted chain suspension systems rated up to 1,000 kg.

The product portfolio is organized around three core categories (high bunk beds for adults, children's bunk beds, and mid-high beds with storage) and a wide variant set covering corner, suspended, bed-box, sideways, hideaway, head-to-head, and quadruple configurations, plus accessories such as Italian PerDormire mattresses and LED lighting. All units are made-to-order with customer-specified dimensions, orientation, and materials (laminate or wood veneer), priced between approximately EUR 1,200 and EUR 4,000+.

Caster sells exclusively direct-to-consumer through its e-commerce storefront (casterdesign.be), accepting PayPal, Coinpayments/Bitcoin, and traditional payments in EUR and CHF, and shipping across the Czech Republic, Germany, Austria, Slovakia, and adjacent markets. Revenue is generated through one-time custom bed sales, paid design-to-installation services, and accessory sales. Over more than 20 years of operation the company claims tens of thousands of completed installations and showcases 154 project references as social proof. No funding rounds, parent company, or M&A activity is disclosed, and ownership appears to be founder-controlled.

Differentiator

Problem solved

Functional benefit

Products and services

• High Bunk Beds (for adults) Custom-manufactured elevated bunk beds for adults designed to maximize living space by creating usable area beneath the bed for closets, home offices, or relaxation zones. Configurable in size, orientation, and material (laminate or wood veneer), with steel bearing construction covered by a lifetime warranty and up to 500 kg weight capacity per bed.
• Children's Bunk Beds Loft and bunk beds designed for children's bedrooms, providing sleeping space with a play area underneath where children can build forts, castles, or secret hideaways. Configurable with cabinets, work corners, wardrobes, and accessories to combine sleeping, studying, and play zones in one room.
• Mid-High and Storage Beds Mid-height elevated beds (including medium-high, corner, sliding-door, cladding-panel, and bed-with-storage variants) that provide easier access than high bunk beds while still offering storage space beneath. Designed for customers who want functional storage without the full height of a loft bed.
• Suspended (Ceiling-Mounted) Beds Ceiling-suspended bunk beds (single, double, corner, heat-to-head, sideways, and bed-box variants) mounted via a chain and steel anchor system designed for concrete or panel ceilings, with weight capacity up to 1000 kg. Provides the maximum amount of free floor space under the bed and eliminates the need for floor legs.
• Hideaway Beds (Hydraulic Lift) Space-saving beds with hydraulic lift mechanisms that allow the bed to be stored vertically when not in use, available in single and double configurations. Targeted at rooms where the floor must remain clear for daytime activities.
• Bunk Beds with Integrated Cabinets and Staircases Bunk beds with built-in shelving, wardrobes, cabinets, and custom staircase-cabinet combinations integrated into the bed structure, enabling floor-to-ceiling interior solutions that combine sleeping, storage, and access in one unit.
• Quadruple Beds and 2x Double Bed Configurations Multi-bed configurations including four-person quadruple beds and dual-double (2x double) arrangements, with optional chain hanging for concrete ceilings and slatted bed frames rated to 100 kg per bed, designed for families or shared accommodations needing multiple sleepers in one room.
• PerDormire Mattresses Italian-manufactured mattresses offered as accessories with Caster beds, featuring orthopaedic characteristics and Italian design with up to a 10-year warranty on the mattress core. Sold alongside the bed configuration and purchase process.
• LED Lighting Options Optional 4x 3W LED spotlights in aluminum design offered as accessories for under-bed illumination, configurable during the bed purchase process.
• Custom Design-to-Installation Service Full-service interior realization offering design consultation, custom furniture manufacturing, delivery, and professional assembly. Customers submit room photos and floor plans via email or contact form, and Caster prepares drafts and builds the most suitable custom loft, bunk, or mid-high bed with integrated cabinets and storage.
