About us & meet the team
Family-run since 1993
From a garage in Pymble to our Gladesville showroom, we've spent more than 30 years helping Sydney sleep better. Today our wallbeds turn a spare room, study or small apartment into a bedroom in seconds, delivered and installed by our own team.

Wallbeds at Buffalo Road
Our showroom at 1A/28 Buffalo Road, Gladesville has wallbeds set up to try, open 7 days.
In Paul's words
Good Wallbeds. Fair Prices. No Hard Sell.
Family-owned since 1993.
Paul Giles started this business in his garage with a copy of The Trading Post and an eye for a bargain. More than thirty years on, he's in his 80s, still doing deliveries, and still showing customers the most affordable option first.
That's pretty much how we work.
Nobody's going to upsell you. Tell us what you need and what you want to spend, and we'll tell you straight what's worth it and what isn't.
Sydney Wallbeds is part of Paul Giles Beds & Mattresses in Gladesville. Our wallbeds are designed to save space, be easy to use, and transform a room from a workspace to a comfortable sleeping space in seconds, whether it's a small apartment, a study or the guest room.
You'll usually deal with Paul or his family. His kids grew up playing hide and seek in the racking and now work alongside him. Denis has been doing our books for more than 25 years.
Our own team delivers your wallbed across Sydney and NSW, carries it into the room and can install it for you.
Plenty of our first customers now send their own kids to us. We reckon that says more than any ad could.
Come and see them working.
Open the bed, test the mechanism and see the colours in person.
