If you need a new bed or mattress quickly, fast delivery makes all the difference. At Land of Beds, hundreds of our best-selling mattresses, beds, and headboards are held in stock and ready to go, with next day and short lead time delivery available on selected products. We've been helping people across the UK sleep better for over 50 years, and that experience means we know which ranges we can move quickly without compromising on quality or service. Delivery speed varies by product, so always check the individual listing for the confirmed timeframe before you order.
Browse our fast delivery range below, or get in touch and our team will point you toward products that can reach you quickly.
Buying a new bed or mattress often comes down to timing as much as choice. Maybe your old mattress has finally given up, or you're setting up a room in a hurry. Either way, knowing what's available quickly helps you plan around it.
At Land of Beds, delivery speed depends on the product and how it's made. Ready-stocked items move fast. Made-to-order and specialist ranges take longer because they're built after you order. We've set out below how to tell the difference, so you can shop with realistic expectations from the start.
Three things determine how quickly a bed or mattress can reach you. Understanding these helps you avoid disappointment at checkout.
| Factor | Why It Matters | What to Check |
|---|---|---|
| Stock availability | Ready-stocked products can ship almost immediately. Made-to-order products only start production once you buy. | The delivery estimate shown on the individual product listing |
| Product type | Standard mattresses and divan bases are more likely to be stocked. Bespoke frames, certain upholstered ranges, and made-to-measure sizes usually are not. | Whether the range is described as made-to-order anywhere on the listing |
| Delivery postcode | Most of mainland UK is covered on standard timeframes. Some postcodes, including parts of Scotland, Northern Ireland, and offshore areas, take longer or may incur a charge. | Delivery information at checkout for your specific postcode |

"Fast" delivery covers a few different timeframes depending on the product and current stock levels. Here's how they typically break down.
| Delivery Speed | What It Means | Typically Applies To |
|---|---|---|
| Next day | Ordered today, delivered the next working day, subject to cut-off time and postcode | Selected in-stock mattresses and smaller bedding items |
| 2 to 3 days | Delivered within a few working days of ordering | Popular in-stock mattresses and some divan bases |
| 5 to 7 days | Delivered within a week, often used for items dispatched from a secondary stockholding | Selected mattresses and bed ranges |
Exact timeframes are confirmed on each individual product listing and can change with demand, so always check before you order rather than assuming a category-wide timeframe applies.
Fast delivery isn't available across the whole range in the same way. Here's a general guide to where it's most common.
| Product Type | Fast Delivery Availability | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Mattresses | Widely available on best-selling and mid-range models | Bespoke sizes and some premium natural fillings take longer |
| Divan beds and bed bases | Commonly available on standard sizes and popular fabrics | Made-to-order fabric choices extend the timeframe |
| Bed frames and headboards | Available on a good number of ready-stocked designs | Certain upholstered and made-to-measure options are made to order |
| Bedding | Generally the fastest category, including pillows, protectors, and toppers | Availability still varies by specific product |
If a fast turnaround matters more than a specific colour or fabric, ask our team which in-stock options come closest to what you're after.
Not sure whether to buy something ready-stocked or wait for a made-to-order product? Here's a plain comparison.
| Fast Delivery (In Stock) | Made-to-Order | |
|---|---|---|
| Typical timeframe | Next day up to around 7 days | Several weeks, confirmed at point of order |
| Choice available | Best-selling sizes, fabrics and models | Full range of sizes, fabrics and finishes |
| Best for | Urgent replacements, house moves, guest rooms | Getting the exact spec you want, no time pressure |
Neither option is better in every situation. It depends on whether speed or exact specification matters more for what you need.
Mike Murray, Land of Beds CEO: "Fast delivery only counts for something if what turns up is still right for you. We hold stock across our best-selling mattresses and beds so we can move quickly when someone needs to, but we won't push a customer toward a product just because it happens to be in the warehouse."

| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What does fast delivery mean at Land of Beds? | It means the product is either already in stock or held with a short lead time, so it can reach you sooner than a made-to-order item. Timeframes range from next day up to around 7 days depending on the product. Always check the individual listing for the confirmed date. |
| Which products qualify for fast delivery? | Mostly best-selling mattresses, standard divan beds, and a good number of ready-stocked bed frames and headboards. Bespoke sizes, certain fabrics, and made-to-order ranges are not included. |
| Is fast delivery free? | We offer free delivery on orders over £100. Some further out postcodes may incur a charge, so check at checkout for your specific address. See our delivery information for full details. |
| Can delivery really happen the next day? | On selected in-stock products, yes, subject to order cut-off time and your postcode. This is shown on the individual product listing, not applied across the whole range. |
| Do fast delivery products cost more? | No. Delivery speed depends on stock availability, not price. You'll find fast delivery options across a range of budgets. |
| What if I want a specific fabric or size that isn't in stock? | You can still order it, but it will move to a made-to-order timeframe rather than fast delivery. Our team can confirm the expected date before you buy. |
| Does assembly come with fast delivery orders? | No, these products do not come with an assembly service. |
| Can I buy a fast delivery product on finance? | Yes, finance is available on eligible orders. See our finance page for full terms and eligibility. |
| Does fast delivery apply to the whole of the UK? | Most of mainland UK is covered within standard timeframes. Scotland, Northern Ireland, and some offshore or remote postcodes may take longer or incur an additional charge. |
| How do I know a specific product qualifies for fast delivery? | Check the delivery estimate shown on that product's own page. If you're not sure, contact our team and we'll confirm current stock and timeframe before you order. |
