Our Story

Decades of experience

ESTABLISHED 1985

For over four decades, MA Living has been a trusted name in bed manufacturing, synonymous with exceptional craftsmanship, reliable quality, and a deep understanding of what makes the perfect night’s sleep. What began as a vision and hard work of one dedicated individual has grown into a respected national business, while remaining proudly rooted in family values and integrity.

Here is the story of how we grew from a small local venture to one of the most recognised names in the industry.

The beginning

A vision takes shape

Our journey began in the 1980s, when the company was founded by Mr Akbar. With a clear passion for quality and a commitment to producing products built to last, he established the business on simple but strong principles: use the best materials, pay attention to every detail, and always put the customer first.

Starting out with a small team and a focus on traditional manufacturing methods, Mr Akbar quickly built a reputation for reliability and excellence. In those early years, every bed and headboard was crafted with care, designed not just as furniture, but as a product that would support health, rest, and comfort for years to come. His dedication meant that word spread fast, turning local customers into long-term supporters and laying the solid foundations upon which our future success would be built.

A New Era

From Strength to Strength

As the business flourished, the next generation stepped forward to guide its growth. Today, the company is proudly led and managed by Uneeb Akbar, who has taken his father’s original vision and expanded it to meet the demands of the modern market. While honouring the traditional skills and high standards established in the early days, Uneeb has brought fresh energy, innovation, and strategic direction, driving the business forward into new markets and greater opportunities.

Under his leadership, we have grown significantly, evolving from a local manufacturer into a major supplier operating on a national scale. We have invested in modern technology and expanded our production capabilities, but we have never lost sight of the craftsmanship and personal touch that made us who we are.
