Sourcing Beds from Alibaba: A Step-by-Step Guide
How do I find a reliable bed supplier on Alibaba?
To find a reliable bed supplier on Alibaba, choose a verified factory that offers samples, customization, and export certifications.
Avoid middlemen. Look for gold suppliers with real factory videos, UKFR certification, and the ability to send sample orders.
Ask if they attend trade fairs, like Furniture China or the UK’s January show. A good supplier responds fast, provides real images, and supports you with catalogs, loading pictures, and stable production.
What are the most common UK bed sizes?
The most common UK bed sizes are Double (137×191 cm) and King (150×200 cm).
These two sizes dominate the UK and Irish markets.
Make sure your bed frame supplier offers these sizes as default — not EU or US dimensions.
At DIKAPABED, we always follow UK mattress dimensions and can adjust to custom sizes if needed (e.g. 160×200 cm for Romania).
Why do UK buyers prefer velvet for beds?
Velvet fabric is popular in the UK because it looks premium, feels soft, and holds up well.
Velvet beds perform great in online listings — especially in grey, beige, and black.
Customers love the cozy texture, and it hides minor marks or wear better than smooth fabrics.
We offer over 20+ velvet colors and send close-up pictures to help you choose.
How much does it cost to ship beds from China?
Shipping a 40HQ container of beds from China to the UK or Romania typically costs $4,000–$4,500.
Final shipping fees depend on season, port, and load style. For example:
– To **Liverpool**: ~$4,500
– To **Constanta**: ~$4,000
We support both FOB and DDP delivery terms and help calculate how many beds/mattresses fit per load.
How are beds packed to avoid damage?
We use 5-layer export cartons, foam corner protectors, and barcode labeling to protect beds during delivery.
Each set is knocked down (KD) and packed into 1–3 boxes depending on design.
For eCommerce brands, we offer:
– Mail-order approved packaging
– Drop-test ready boxes
– English manuals and video instructions
– Custom printed cartons if MOQ is met
How can I avoid issues when importing beds from China?
Choose a factory with quality slats, consistent parts, and strong QC to avoid missing items, noise, or frame damage.
At DIKAPABED, we prevent the top issues:
– ✅ Birch slats: 55×9 mm, 26 pcs
– ✅ Reinforced middle bars (anti-sag)
– ✅ Pre-drilled holes, no assembly mismatch
– ✅ Headboards with stable internal structures
– ✅ Foam-protected corners for courier shipping
We also send full photo updates — so you never fly blind.
What’s the production lead time?
Lead time is 30–35 days for fabric beds, 25–30 days for metal beds, and 7 days for samples.
Production starts after confirming the sample and deposit.
For large repeat orders, we can reserve capacity in advance to shorten turnaround.
Our team sends video updates and supports container planning to save you time.
Can I mix styles and products in one container?
Yes, you can mix up to 3–5 bed styles per container and even include mattresses or nightstands.
We help with:
– Volume estimates (e.g., 150 beds + 150 mattresses)
– Filling leftover space with fast-moving items
– Ensuring proper stacking and separation
Our clients often mix velvet beds, metal beds, and 2–3 mattress types in one 40HQ load.
How much weight can your beds support?
Our upholstered beds can support up to 365 kg (805 lbs) depending on the model.
For example:
– Gas lift bed (160×200 cm): up to 365 kg
– Drawer bed or basic panel: 330–350 kg
We use thicker boards, high-density foam, and upgraded lifting pistons to keep beds silent and stable.
What is UKFR, and why is it important?
UKFR means the product meets UK fire safety standards (BS5852), which is legally required for beds sold in the UK.
All our upholstery beds and mattresses can be made with UKFR-certified foam and fabric.
We attach UKFR tags to each product, and provide test reports upon request.
Can I choose my own velvet color?
Yes, you can choose from 20+ velvet options. We send real photos, videos, and color boards.
We support:
– Bulk color swatch PDFs
– Real close-up images of selected codes
– Different velvet grades for durability or texture preference
If you need the most durable velvet, we recommend our Type B – heavy-use series, preferred by our UK clients.
