Nestled in the heart of Thorndon Quay, Beds on Thorndon stands as a beacon of quality and comfort in the realm of bedding and furniture.
With a history spanning over two decades, we’ve recently embarked on an exciting new chapter, emerging as an independent entity.
While the names on the beds may change, our steadfast commitment to impeccable service, meticulous attention to detail, and an unwavering focus on New Zealand-made craftsmanship remains at the core of our ethos.
Experience an expertly selected range of the finest beds and furniture.
Talk to the salespeople in each shop, ask the hard questions, and compare the information that you get to ensure you’re choosing the right mattress for your body and lifestyle. As you try more beds, form a shortlist of ones you found most comfortable. Is the spring system zoned or layered? What comfort layers does the mattress have on top of the springs?
Wool, silk, bamboo, latex, or memory foam? Is your preference soft, medium, or firm? Is the mattress imported? If so, after-sales service may be an issue unless the importer has repair equipment in New Zealand. Finally, it comes down to price.
At the end of the day, we spend a third of our lives in bed, so don’t rush this decision. It’s important you get the right bed for you so you can sleep well and feel energised throughout the day.
You can’t get a proper rest and maintain your health if your bedroom is not a relaxing sleep inducing place to be.
Non sleep activities (home office, snack bar, TV room, laptop, phone beside the bed) are not helpful when you need to relax before falling asleep.
- Keep the room as dark as possible.
- Keep the room at a comfortable temperature. It is difficult to sleep if you are too hot or too cold.
- Keep noise to a minimum.
- Make sure that you have a comfortable mattress. Because you sleep on your mattress every night the fact that it is starting to wear out can creep up un noticed.
- Never bring work into the bedroom ie laptops & phones. Blue light discourages sleep
- Don’t watch TV in the bedroom
- Keep a note pad beside the bed. If you remember something as you are falling asleep, jot it down. That way you will not be lying awake thinking about it and hoping that you will remember it when you wake up in the morning.
All the best brands at our best prices.
DECADES OF EXPERTISEÂ
After more than 10 years as Bedstop, we have decided that it is time to do our own thing and become an independent bed shop.
The Bedstop name has changed to Beds on Thorndon. However the people and the brands that we stock have remained the same. Perhaps with more of a bias to our local Wellington market. We are still a local family owned business that prefers to sell New Zealand made Mattresses, Bases & Slat frames.
As you can see we have developed a new web site. The aim of this “Beds on Thorndon” web site is to give you plenty of information about beds and sleep to help you to choose the right bed.
CONSISTENT VALUE
Our commitments at Beds on Thorndon are simple;
* WORLD LEADING BRANDS – we stock the best brands which means that we offer the latest sleep technology and quality.

Medium firm – single, king single, double, queen sizes.
Medium soft – single, king single, double, queen, king sizes.

Split & Zip
All Domino mattresses can be split and fitted with a zip. This means that you have the option of two separate beds which can then be zipped together to form one bed. This works best with King, Super King & California King sized mattresses.
If you have a partner who is a restless sleeper, having two mattresses zipped together is a sure way of eliminating transmission of disturbance across the mattress.
