What Jones & Tomlin does

Jones & Tomlin is a family-owned, third-generation UK premium bed and mattress specialist headquartered in Worthing, West Sussex. Founded in 1946 by Leslie Tomlin, the company operates four physical showrooms across the South-East — Worthing (1946), Horsham (1993), Chichester (acquired 2015) and Guildford (2023) — plus a national e-commerce catalogue of more than 1,000 SKUs. The product portfolio centres on pocket-sprung and natural-filling mattresses (wool, cotton, silk, natural latex, horsehair, alpaca) across price points from ~£219 to £70,000+, alongside divans, bedsteads, ottomans, adjustable beds, bedroom furniture, bed linen, bedding accessories, home furnishings, and a small own-brand mattress range (Pocket 1000 Bamboo, Cloud 1000, Eclipse).

The business runs a hybrid sales-led go-to-market combining in-store expert consultation with a curated ~100-model display per store, a 'no hard sell' advisory approach, and educational content ('Beds Explained') online. Revenue is generated almost entirely through one-time retail product sales, supplemented by 0% APR finance via Splitit and Novuna, free local two-man delivery and recycling, and a minor Trade/B2B enquiry channel for interior designers and developers. The company is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority as a credit broker, Feefo Platinum Trusted Award winner, and is celebrating its 80th anniversary in 2026 under Managing Director Adam Tomlin and Chairman Richard Tomlin.
