About the NBF

The National Bed Federation is the recognised trade association representing UK manufacturers of beds and their suppliers. Founded in 1912, its members today account for about 75% of the total UK bedding turnover. A Retail Champions Scheme is dedicated to retailers that stock NBF-approved brands.

Watch our two new membership videos to hear from manufacturers and suppliers about the benefits of joining the NBF.

The Bed Show

The Bed Show is firmly established in the trade calendar as the UK’s biggest bed exhibition and takes place from 22 – 23 September 2026 in Telford. The Bed Show is the only place to see so many UK and Irish bed manufacturers and their suppliers all under one roof, with exhibitors ranging from the biggest brands on the market to small niche players.

It is also the home of the NBF Bed Industry Awards, which are now open below, and recently won its own award, ‘Best Trade Show’, in the Big Furniture Awards.

Registration to attend the 2026 Bed Show is now open.

See what we got up to at last year’s Bed Show in the official video.
