Bedshed: A Franchise Built on Longevity and Success
There is a reason why Bedshed has had ONLY ONE franchised store up for resale in the last nine years, and it is the exact same reason why we still have franchisees thriving in our network after 30 years.
We do franchising right.
Since opening our first store in Western Australia in 1980 and beginning our franchise journey two years later, Bedshed has evolved from its quirky beginnings selling waterbeds into an Australian retail powerhouse.
Today, we are one of the country's largest and most trusted mattress, bedding, and bedroom furniture specialists, with close to 40 showrooms nationwide.
Operating in a $2 billion industry, a Bedshed franchise offers the benefits of big business—bulk purchasing power, national marketing, and a proven operational model—combined with the flexibility of running your own show.
We provide essential products that sell year-round, ensuring stability and growth even during challenging economic times.
The Bedshed Difference: True Collaboration
At Bedshed, we believe the best franchises are built on genuine partnership.
We do not simply dictate strategy from a head office; we work with our franchise partners to ensure mutual success.
Through our Merchandise Advisory Council, our franchisees have a direct voice in the most important decisions.
From selecting the furniture ranges we carry to setting price points and shaping advertising campaigns, your input matters.
We provide the reliable systems and the exclusive brand portfolio, but you help shape the future of our product offerings.
This collaborative approach fosters enduring relationships.
It is why our network is so stable, with the majority of our stores renewing for an additional 10-year term.
5-Star FRANdata Rating
In 2022, FRANdata—Australia’s leading source for objective franchise information and ratings—awarded Bedshed a prestigious 5-star rating following a rigorous five-month assessment of our transparency, performance, and franchisee satisfaction.
Bedshed is proud to remain the only bedding and home furnishing retailer in Australia to achieve this 5-star Franchise rating.
This provides you with independent proof that our system delivers the support and the returns we promise.
Solid Earnings and Proven Performance
Franchising with Bedshed means stepping into a proven path to success.
Unlike independent start-ups, our operations and procedures are completely established, meaning you are off and running from day one.
