The National Bed Federation Awards

As the voice of the UK bed industry and trade association of British and Irish bed manufacturers, The National Bed Federation (NBF) recognises trusted, honest and sustainable retailers, who manufacture long-lasting, reliable, organic, top-quality beds and mattresses.

Winning two of the six impressive NBF retailer awards, Glasswells has been identified for offering a shopping experience like no other; from promising great value by working with trusted NBF suppliers, to giving expert advice through investment in staff training on National Bed Federation courses.

On presenting the Outstanding Bed Store of the Year award, the NBF judges commented: “Glasswells’ flagship shone as a store that truly knows its products, its customers and what is required to support staff to deliver the best possible service.”

Our grand showrooms present customers with inspirational displays, offering a true representation of how products can look within a home, as well as showing clear pricing and product information. This results in an educated choice being made when selecting from the 100 beds and mattresses on show in our Bury St Edmunds and Ipswich showrooms. This immense choice is paired with exceptional value, and customers can feel reassured when they choose a ‘NBF Approved’ bed from such a long-standing, reliable independent business.

Words from our Managing Director, Paul Glasswell

Glasswells are honoured to receive the awards, as Paul Glasswell, Managing Director, explained: “We are thrilled that Glasswells has won not only the Large NBF Retail Champion of the Year, but also the Outstanding Bed Store of the Year at the National Bed Federation Industry Awards.

“My grandfather started the business in 1946 and we have always strived to be the best home furnisher; from creating immaculate shopping environments, to working closely with specially selected suppliers and investing in our people to offer the expert advice we are renowned for.

“To be described by the judges as ‘one the finest furniture retailers, not just in the UK but maybe all of Europe,’ makes me very proud. Whilst all of the team at Glasswells has played their part in achieving these awards, special thanks must go to Julie Valentine, our Bed Buyer, who has put tremendous effort into making Glasswells the Outstanding Bed Store of the Year.”
