Steel Life caters for a special market

A UNIQUELY designed toddler bed to ease the transition from cot to single bed for children between the ages of two and five has played a pivotal role in the success of Palmwoods company Steel Life.

Established 18 months ago by Bill and Mandy Williamson, Steel Life designs and manufactures beds as well as other wrought iron products.

After being made redundant from the building industry, the couple decided to set up their own business. The idea was generated from a custom made bed that Bill made Mandy for a birthday present. They spent 11 months researching the bedding industry and recognised a void in toddler beds. Capitalising on this, they created the toddler bed to meet a niche market.
