Australian bed manufacturer A.H. Beard, renowned for its commitment to sleep wellness, is marking its 125th anniversary with plans to expand its global footprint. 

The family-owned company, celebrated for its legacy of craftsmanship and innovative “Premium Sleep” philosophy, is setting its sights on new markets in Asia, Europe, and the United Kingdom in 2025.

A.H. Beard has established a strong global presence with active markets in China, the United States, and Brazil. 

To support its new global ventures, the company is investing in a production facility in Christchurch, New Zealand, aimed at meeting growing demand for quality sleep solutions in the region.

“As A.H. Beard has evolved, our commitment to quality and innovation has only strengthened,” said Garry Beard, Chairman of A.H. Beard. 

“[W]ith factories in New Zealand and seven facilities across Australia – one in every state – we’re proud to be at the forefront of sleep wellness innovation. This expanding presence empowers us to meet the growing demand for our products, both locally and internationally.”

In addition to its expansion strategy, A.H. Beard will introduce a new luxury bedding collection next year, featuring the brand’s latest advancements in sleep technology. 

The collection will incorporate high-end fabrics, exclusive fibres, and award-winning innovations designed to enhance the sleep experience, reflecting the brand’s dedication to exceptional craftsmanship.

This fusion of traditional artisanal techniques with modern design and material innovation has fueled A.H. Beard’s growth and guided its family-owned business through five generations.

“We’re incredibly proud to celebrate 125 years of enriching lives through Premium Sleep, and we’re just getting started,” said Allyn Beard, Director of A.H. Beard. 

“We’re continuously looking for new ways to innovate and new markets to enter, all while honouring the culture, heritage and traditions that make us the business we are today. I look forward to sharing our Sleep Wellness philosophy further across the globe, proving that an Australian-made brand can lead on the world stage. Here’s to the next century and beyond.”

A.H. Beard’s product range includes beds, adjustable bases, pillows, sleep tracking devices, and educational resources to support comprehensive sleep wellness.
