Two British Icons Partner to Celebrate Wellbeing, Restful Sleep, and the Joy of Travel
The Wrought Iron and Brass Bed Company, a proudly British, family-run business renowned for its handcrafted beds made on the North Norfolk coast, has announced its exciting new partnership with Virgin Atlantic’s Shops Away platform. This union brings together two beloved British brands—both celebrated for their passion, personality, and commitment to exceptional experiences.
Customers can now purchase beautifully made iron and brass beds, plus ethically sourced and fully traceable to the farm British wool mattresses via Virgin Atlantic’s eStore and earn Virgin Points toward flights and holidays, making the journey toward a perfect night’s sleep also a step closer to their next dream destination.
This collaboration highlights the evolving ways customers are choosing to invest in their wellbeing—whether through quality rest or unforgettable travel. With Virgin Points collected on every purchase, customers no longer have to choose between comfort at home and the joy of global adventure. They can have both.
Two Icons, One Shared Legacy
Though different in what they offer, Wrought Iron and Brass Bed Company and Virgin Atlantic share more than just their red branding and British roots. They are both independent, trailblazing companies built on strong values, personal stories, and a commitment to doing things the right way.
Virgin Atlantic, since 1984, has brought a refreshingly human, forward-thinking spirit to the skies. It redefined what air travel could feel like—making flying aspirational, comfortable, and above all, personal.
Similarly, Wrought Iron and Brass Bed Company has spent the last two decades championing British manufacturing, sustainability, and craftsmanship. Every bed is made to order, using solid materials, traditional techniques, and the kind of detail that transforms furniture into something you hand down through generations.
This partnership is more than a commercial collaboration—it’s a celebration of craftsmanship, wellbeing, and meaningful experiences.
Investing in Wellbeing at Home and in the Air
In a time when people are prioritising wellness more than ever, both brands speak to the heart of what it means to take care of ourselves and those we love.
A good night’s sleep is one of the greatest investments in long-term health. Wrought Iron and Brass Bed Company’s beds are not only a reflection of timeless style, but they are also designed with comfort, durability, and ethical sourcing at their core. Each bed comes with a lifetime guarantee, ensuring it supports generations of sleep and serenity.
Now, thanks to Virgin Atlantic’s eStore, every purchase also brings travellers closer to the skies—whether that’s a beach escape, a city break, or a reunion with loved ones across the globe.
A Personal Journey: Amanda Oldfield’s Virgin Atlantic Story
This partnership carries personal meaning for Amanda Oldfield, founder of Wrought Iron and Brass Bed Company.
“I remember the very first time my sons flew on a 747—it was with Virgin Atlantic. They both were young and wide-eyed with wonder. That flight left a lasting impression on all of us. Years later, my youngest son became a cabin crew member for Virgin. Watching him walk through the airport in that iconic uniform filled me with pride.
The last time I flew on a Virgin 747 was to San Francisco. It was an unforgettable trip, made all the more emotional because it marked the end of an era: my son’s final flight as crew before coming home to join our family business. Virgin Atlantic has always represented something magical to our family—adventure, opportunity, and heart.
To now have our company featured on Virgin Atlantic’s eStore feels like a full-circle moment. I couldn’t be prouder to see our beds, handmade here in Norfolk, offered alongside a brand that has meant so much to us. It’s British heritage, family spirit, and innovation coming together.”
Amanda’s story reflects the deep emotional resonance that both brands inspire in their customers. They are not just companies—they are part of people’s most meaningful moments, whether at home or in the air.
