Northern Bed Hire

Wedding bed hire

Bed hire for weddings.

When a wedding guest list outgrows the venue's permanent bedrooms, hired beds are the cleanest solution. We deliver memory foam mattresses on metal pop-up frames to your venue or adjacent accommodation, set each bed up dressed and ready for guests, and collect everything after the wedding weekend. No storage to arrange, no logistics to manage on your side. We deliver across northern England and beyond - wherever the wedding takes us, we will get the beds there.

Wedding event beds

Memory foam mattresses on metal pop-up frames, delivered dressed and ready for wedding guests. We set up each bed at the venue or accommodation address so guests arrive to a proper sleeping space - not a flat-pack job left for someone else to figure out on the morning of the wedding.

Beds are collected after the wedding weekend. The full cycle - delivery, set-up, collection - is handled by us. You brief us on access, timing, and bed count, and we handle the rest. Single beds are the standard format for wedding guest overflow, making the most of the space available in barns, outbuildings, and converted rooms.

Wedding linen hire

Commercially laundered linen sets delivered alongside your wedding beds. Each set includes everything a guest needs from arrival through to checkout. We collect the linen with the beds after the wedding, and all washing is handled commercially on our side - you never deal with dirty linen from a hundred wedding guests.

Most clients find it simpler to add linen at the point of booking so everything arrives together and leaves together. For full details on what each linen set contains and how the collection cycle works, see our linen hire page.

Use cases

When wedding bed hire makes sense.

Country house weddings create the most straightforward case for hired beds. A private estate or country house that comfortably sleeps twelve as a family home becomes a wedding venue for sixty, eighty, or a hundred guests - and the maths do not add up without some creative thinking about where people sleep. The permanent bedrooms go to the couple and close family. Everyone else needs a solution. For many country house weddings, that solution is converting outbuildings, barns, stables, or garden rooms into temporary sleeping accommodation. Hired beds make that conversion work properly: guests get a real mattress, a proper frame, and dressed linen rather than an airbed on a stone floor. The beds arrive before the wedding, we set them up in whatever space has been designated for guest sleeping, and we collect them once the weekend is done. The estate or house returns to normal with no extra equipment left behind. For the couple or the estate manager organising the wedding, it removes one of the more complex logistics questions from the planning list.

Marquee and tipi weddings present a different but related challenge. Large marquees erected in a field or garden can accommodate the wedding breakfast and evening reception without difficulty, but sleeping arrangements for guests who have come a long way - or who simply want to stay on-site after a long evening - require a separate plan. Some couples solve this by positioning beds inside a secondary marquee structure designated as a sleeping area. Others use the tipi itself for a small number of guests, particularly the bridal party, while remaining guests are directed to outbuildings or converted spaces on the same site. We have experience delivering to rural venues with limited vehicle access, and we assess the logistics at the enquiry stage so there are no surprises on delivery day. Beds going into a canvas structure need to be positioned carefully to make the most of the space - we bring the set-up experience so the sleeping area functions properly rather than being an afterthought.

Venue coordinators at converted barn, farm, and heritage wedding venues are a third category of client. These venues often have a fixed bedroom count that forms part of their accommodation package, but when a couple books a larger wedding than the venue's permanent bedrooms can support, the coordinator needs a way to offer additional overnight sleeping to clients without investing in permanent infrastructure. Hiring beds through a single supplier - beds and linen from one source, collected together after the event - keeps the coordination simple and the guest experience consistent. The venue does not have to maintain or store additional furniture between weddings. We work with venue coordinators directly, handling the scheduling and logistics so the beds arrive before the wedding party checks in and are collected once the last guests have left. For venues running multiple weddings across a season, a repeat hire arrangement with a single supplier is often the most practical way to manage the overflow accommodation requirement.

Planning

Planning wedding bed hire.

How many beds do you need?

Start with the gap between your guest count and the venue's permanent bedroom capacity. If the venue sleeps twenty in its permanent bedrooms and you are inviting eighty guests, you have sixty people who need a sleeping arrangement - though in practice not every guest will want to stay on-site, particularly local guests or those who have booked nearby hotels. A realistic estimate is usually more useful than a worst-case number. Think about which guests are coming from furthest away, who will want to stay after the evening reception, and how many permanent bedrooms are already committed. From there, you can build a sensible bed count. We are happy to talk through the calculation with you if you are unsure - get in touch with your guest list and venue details and we can help you work out a practical number.

When do beds arrive and leave?

Beds typically arrive the day before the wedding so the sleeping spaces are ready well before guests check in. Collection is usually the day after the wedding weekend ends - often a Monday or Tuesday following a Saturday wedding, depending on how long guests are staying. We agree the delivery and collection windows with you at the booking stage so there are no surprises for the venue or the guests. For multi-day events or weddings where guests are staying for a long weekend, we can adjust the hire period accordingly. The key is to confirm the dates early so the logistics are settled ahead of the wedding day itself.

Do you need linen too?

In most cases, yes. Beds arrive as frames and mattresses - functional and clean, but guests need bedding. We offer linen hire alongside bed hire so the sleeping spaces arrive fully dressed. Each linen set is commercially laundered before delivery, so it arrives pressed and ready. We collect the linen with the beds after the wedding and handle all the washing on our side. Adding linen at the booking stage is the simplest approach: everything arrives together in a single delivery and leaves together in a single collection. You do not need to source bedding separately or arrange your own washing for a hundred sets of sheets.

What type of beds?

We hire single beds: memory foam mattresses on metal pop-up frames. Singles are the standard format for wedding guest overflow for two reasons. First, they make efficient use of space - you can fit more guests into a given room or barn using singles than doubles. Second, they are genuinely comfortable: memory foam mattresses on a proper frame are a significant step up from a camp bed or an airbed, and guests who have spent a long day at a wedding will notice the difference. The frames are stable, quiet, and straightforward to set up. We deliver each bed dressed with linen if you have added that to your order, so guests find a made-up bed rather than a pile of bedding to sort out themselves.

Linen hire

Linen hire for wedding guests.

Wedding guests staying overnight deserve bedding that has been properly laundered, not a set of sheets pulled from a cupboard on the morning of the wedding. Our linen hire is commercially laundered between every hire, so it arrives clean, pressed, and ready for guests who have often travelled a long way to be there. Each linen set covers everything a guest needs from arrival through to checkout - so there is nothing extra for you or the venue to source or prepare.

We collect linen with the beds after the wedding weekend. The washing cycle is handled entirely on our side, which means the venue does not need to deal with post-wedding laundry from dozens of guest sets. For couples planning a country house wedding, a marquee event, or a barn venue weekend, adding linen at the point of booking is the simplest way to ensure the sleeping arrangements are complete. For full details on what each linen set contains and how our collection and laundry cycle works, see our linen hire page.

How far in advance should I book wedding bed hire?

As early as you can. Wedding dates are often fixed a year or more ahead, and locking in your bed hire early means the logistics are settled well before the day. A few months is workable for most dates; peak summer weekends fill faster. Quotes back inside 24 hours whenever you are ready.

Either. Some clients hire beds only for guests who cannot be accommodated in the venue's permanent bedrooms. Others hire a full complement of beds so that all guests sleep on-site. We supply whatever number is needed and set each one up ready for guests.

Can you deliver beds to a marquee or tipi at a country house?

Yes. We are used to delivering to unusual and rural venues. Whether beds are going into a marquee, a tipi, a converted barn, or an outbuilding, we assess the access requirements when you enquire and plan the delivery accordingly.

Can I hire linen as well as beds for the wedding?

What size beds do you hire for weddings?

We hire single beds: memory foam mattresses on metal pop-up frames. Singles are the standard for wedding guest overflow - they maximise the number of guests you can accommodate in a given space and are straightforward to set up in rooms, barns, or outbuildings.

How much notice do you need for a wedding bed hire order?

Two to four weeks is a workable lead time for most orders. For weddings in peak summer months, earlier is better. Quotes back inside 24 hours - get in touch as soon as you have a date and a rough bed count and we will confirm availability.
