Co-owner of Muscava Limited & Edge Beanbags

Wokingham, England, United Kingdom

About

Muscava was the name of our cat. She was our first joint decision whilst courting in 1989 and completely misnamed...hence url's etc all available ;-). We have been making beanbags under the name of Edge Beanbags since 2014 and decided to keep the two names - the reason being that our busiest time of year, normally, is Christmas. When someone purchases a Techbed from Edge Beanbags, we simply put the return label on as Muscava in case the Techbed is a present for someone in the same household. Simple process. We source all materials here in the UK, make everything ourselves and despatch from here, home, using Royal Mail or DPD Local. So, normally walking the dog or making beanbags listening to music. Happy life really. xx
