THE nation has gone mad for steamy Netflix period drama Bridgerton.
It has led to a surge in online searches for four-poster beds, as couples look to recreate the show’s love-ins.
Argos has reported sales up 300 per cent.
Thankfully, you do not need to lay out a fortune to rest up in Regency style.
SIMPLE PLEASURES: For a basic option, check out the sale at wayfair.co.uk – the Clements Canopy Bed is £183.20, down from £249, and new customers get £15 off their first buy.
It’s a basic, modern frame and comes in white so you could easily jazz it up with curtains or throws and make it match an existing colour scheme.
SAVE: £80
SECOND WIND: For something a little grander, or more robust, it is well worth checking out eBay.co.uk or Facebook Marketplace.
Often, furniture like a four-poster may not fit in with the previous owner’s redecorating.
I spotted some beautiful wooden four-posters for a fraction of their original prices — and they still look amazing.
I recently found a dark-teak one with barely any wear, up for £550 on eBay with the seller open to lower offers — and the original price was £1,200.
Be brave, haggle and see what vintage finds you can snap up.
SAVE: £650
DIY: If you fancy a project, convert your current bed into a four-poster by using curtain rods.
There are fantastic, easy-to-follow guides on Pinterest — and you can then use drapes or materials of your choice to jazz up your canopy design.
Check out dunelm.com for a huge selection of curtain poles, from £3.
CASHBACK: Cash in with websites such as topcashback.co.uk or quidco.com.
At the moment, the former has numerous bed retailers offering money back.
One of them, getlaidbeds.co.uk, also has fab deals on four-posters, with a white wooden one down to £449 from £659 — and when you buy via topcashback.co.uk, you can get an extra 2.5 per cent off.
