With their VONO bed they'll be comfortable ever after.

 When Harold and Mary Wyles got a house of their own in Waltonbury the first thing they bought was a Vono bed. Why did they choose a Vono? Because they put comfort first and Vono beds have been tested for lasting comfort. 

 And they saw how well a Vono bed fitted in with the furnishing scheme they'd planned. 

Elegant headboard styles, gay, colourful covering materials. . . the sort of beds that any home conscious couple would be proud to have. 

There's such a big range to choose from, too, at prices to suit everyone. 

 Vono beds have half  century's sound manufacturing experience behind them. Take a good look at them for yourself at any good-class furnishers.

The Vono bed they chose 

 When Harold and Mary saw the lines and deep-sprung comfort of the "Dover" with headboard in medium finish, they decided that this was the bed for them (4' 6" model £25.4.0d (about $70.31)? 3' model £17.17.0d (about $49.80)?. 

The Vono range has a large selection of traditional and contemporary styles. FIRST NAME IN DESIGN - LAST WORD IN LUXURY
