Tough Furniture Limited is a family run business and is unique in that we have over 20 years experience in designing and manufacturing exclusively for the challenging behaviour furniture market giving us an unmatched level of evidence-based experience and track record in this field.
In manufacturing our durable and robust furniture, we have always made special items for individual customers - it's often how new products are first developed as a customer highlights a problem they are having and we work with them to design a solution.

Below is an indicative list of the customers supplied over the past year among public bodies, as well as numerous private care groups. Establishments supplied include special schools, residential and daycare centres for children and adults with learning difficulties, children's homes, respite care, psychiatric / mental health provision, detox/rehab and bail units throughout the UK (export enquiries handled).
When faced with the challenge of designing bespoke furniture to tackle specific behavioral health issues, we begin by listening to our customers and understanding how they see the problem. This consultation process is vitally important, as we strongly believe that excellence in furniture design comes from a genuine focus on the needs of individual users.
Our furniture is designed for ease of repair, so please call for spares or assistance if required. The most common request we have is for replacement locks and spare keys, please use the order codes below if you require these and when ordering let us know if it is for a left hand or right hand door or for a drawer.
Tough Furniture is designed and manufactured in the UK to give a long useful life in a variety of environments where challenging behaviour may occur, and it has a long and substantial track record of doing so. The Company has ISO 9001 Quality Standard Accreditation covering all its in-house manufactured products.

Super happy with the reinforcement job tough furniture did on my sons bedroom it means we can keep him cool in the summer without the worry of him escaping out of the window!
Mike the installer was ace very professional and helpful, you wouldn’t have known he’d been in the room as it was left very clean. Highly recommend tough furniture they understand the brief and there is plenty of contact and checking before the final product is delivered and installed. Thanks again.

Over 10 years ago we bought cabin bed, mattress, bedside cabinet, desk and drawers for our son who was about 8. He has Smith-Magenis Syndrome, and needed bedroom furniture he could not take apart, move or create hazards. The Tough Furniture was exactly what he required, many years later the furniture still looks new.
Once our son realised that he could not be "destructive" with his Tough Furniture, he stopped trying and maybe the behavior was not deliberate but boredom. He was much more relaxed with his bedroom furniture strong and fixed to the floor.

We had a mid sleeper delivered and assembled this morning, as planned despite the lockdown disruption and contact free. Our autistic son is very excited. The team have guided us through the process, helped choose the right product and assisted effectively with all our queries. The bed is robust and it looks fantastic. We are looking forward to getting years of use out of it and would like to thank all involved in making this happen for our family.

A very terrible company. Please do not order from the company . They give a lot of misleading information . I ordered a wardrobe for my client expecting the wardrobe to have a hanging rail and for it to be fitted/screwed to the wall, The wardrobe does not have a rail. The people agreed via email that they will have it fitted to the wall . but decided not to do it when they delivered . then they said it is a £500 cost for installation . I have asked for a refund and they have refused . please do not order from this company . My clients money has been wasted for nothing and they do not care.

Three years ago my daughter, who has high functioning autism, had her heart set on going to university and pursuing a degree in Primary Education. All was going well with her studies and uni visits, until we realised that for her a major trigger is thunder, and of course at uni there would not be the secure bolt hole that she has always had at home. This could have been an obstacle, until we visited The Autism Show and found Tough Furniture.
Their Mid Cabin Sleeper is a solid, secure piece of furniture with a fully enclosed den beneath - exactly what was needed!!
And then the issue of getting
