Collection Service

Customers can arrange a collection between 9am-12pm on weekdays and Saturday. You can pick up anything from either shop, from bedding and rugs to larger items of furniture. There will be no minimum order. Arrangements for collection can be made over the phone, by email or through one of our social media pages. In order to minimise contact and adhere to Welsh Covid guidelines, we will be asking for payment in advance.

Delivery Service

We will be continuing to operate Covid-safe deliveries throughout Gwynedd in compliance with the Welsh Covid guidelines. However, we will be unable to enter any household where an occupant is self-isolating or has coronavirus symptoms. We will be taking every responsible measure to mitigate the risk of coronavirus spreading, including wearing face coverings, regular sanitising and observing physical distancing where possible.

Measuring Service

We will be continuing to operate Covid-safe measuring services throughout Gwynedd in compliance with the Welsh Covid guidelines. However, we will be unable to enter any household where an occupant is self-isolating or has coronavirus symptoms. We will be taking every responsible measure to mitigate the risk of coronavirus spreading, including wearing face coverings, regular sanitising and observing physical distancing where possible. Samples of curtains, blinds and carpets can be collected from the shop through our collection service, or brought to your home when measuring.

Fitting Service

We will be continuing to operate Covid-safe fitting services throughout Gwynedd in compliance with the Welsh Covid guidelines. However, we will be unable to enter any household where an occupant is self-isolating or has coronavirus symptoms. We will be taking every responsible measure to mitigate the risk of coronavirus spreading, including wearing face coverings, regular sanitising and observing physical distancing where possible.

Due to the fast-moving nature of the pandemic, these services may be subject to sudden change.

We will seek to notify customers of changes to these services as soon as possible.

Temporarily Closing for 17 Days

Fri, 23 Oct 2020 11:34:52 GMT

Our shops will be CLOSED from the 24/10 for 17 days, but our offices will remain open as usual for any telephone, email or social media enquiry. Where it is safe and/or of essential need, we will continue to deliver furniture and perform fittings to the best of our ability. Thank you for your patience.

Bydd ein siopau AR GAU o'r 24/10 am 17 diwrnod, ond bydd ein swyddfeydd yn aros ar agor fel arfer ar gyfer unrhyw ymholiad. Lle mae'n ddiogel ac/neu o angen hanfodol, byddwn yn parhau i ddosbarthu dodrefn a pherfformio ffitiadau. Diolch am eich amynedd

Mesuriadau Diogelwch Cofid

Fri, 19 Jun 2020 10:54:09 GMT

English Version

Mae'r pandemig coronafirws wedi gwneud bywyd yn anghyfarwydd ac, yn aml iawn yn anodd.

Hoffem anfon ein cydymdeimlad at unrhyw un sydd wedi colli rhywun annwyl cyn eu hamser yn ystod yr argyfwng byd-eang hwn. Mewn ymgais i ddychwelyd yn ôl i bywyd arferol yn raddol, mae llywodraethau y DU yn gweithredu newidiadau i gyfyngiadau cloi mewn ymgais i ailgychwyn yr economi sydd wedi aros yn llonydd am chwarter blwyddyn.

Heddiw, cyhoeddodd llywodraeth Cymru y gall siopau manwerthu di-hanfodol agor o’r 22ain o Fehefin, ar yr amod eu bod wedi cyflwyno mesuriadau diogelwch er mwyn cyfyngu ar ledaeniad y firws. Er ein bod yn cael ein dosbarthu fel manwerthwyr 'cartref a dodrefn' ac felly wedi cael agor am ychydig wythnosau bellach, roeddem yn teimlo bod angen amser arnom i weithredu ein mesuriadau diogelwch yn drylwyr er mwyn gwneud Quaeck's yn amgylchedd cofid saff i'n cwsmeriaid a'n staff.

Mae'n bleser gennym gyhoeddi y bydd Quaeck's yn ailagor ei ddrysau i'r cyhoedd ar 22ain o Fehefin, ar ôl bod ar gau am y tro cyntaf yn ein hanes 70 mlynedd . Bydd ein horiau agor fel yr oeddent o'r blaen, ond bydd hyn yn cael ei adolygu'n gyson.

Amseroedd Agor

Llun: 9yb - 5yp

Maw: 9yb - 5yp

Mer: 9yb - 5yp

Iau: 9yb - 5yp

Gwe: 9yb - 5yp

Diheintydd Dwylo

Rydym wedi sefydlu gorsafoedd glanweithio dwylo wrth fynedfeydd y ddwy siop fel y gall cwsmeriaid lanhau eu dwylo cyn mynd i mewn i'r adeiladau. Mae'r gorsafoedd glanweithio dwylo yn cael eu gwirio'n rheolaidd i sicrhau bod y peiriannau wedi llenwi yn ddigonol. Bydd gan aelodau staff fynediad at eu hoffer glanweithio eu hunain fel bod y siawns o groeshalogi yn cael ei gadw i'r lleiafswm. Mae'r diheintydd dwylo rydyn ni wedi'i brynu yn glanweithydd gradd feddygol sydd â chynnwys alcohol uchel, sy'n gallu lladd y coronafirws sawl gwaith drosodd.

Canllawiau Pellter

Dylai ein system unffordd (sydd wedi'i marcio'n glir) helpu cwsmeriaid i lywio'r ddwy siop heb fawr o gyswllt â'i gilydd. Bydd 133 Stryd Fawr (dodrefn a gwelyau) yn gweld cwsmeriaid yn mynd i mewn trwy'r brif fynedfa ac yn dilyn llwybr wedi'i farcio gan saethau a thâp egwyl-2-fetr trwy'r ystafell arddangos, ac yna'n gadael ger yr ardal til trwy ddrws gwahanol. Bydd hyn yn golygu na fydd gan gwsmeriaid unrhyw gyswllt o gwbl â'i gilydd, ac felly'n lleihau'r risg o ledaenu'r coronafirws. Yn 150 Stryd Fawr (dodrefn meddal a charpedi), mae'r stori yn debyg iawn, ac eithrio gofynnir i gwsmeriaid fynd i mewn ac allan trwy'r un drws. Er mwyn brwydro yn erbyn yr ardal fach hon o risg uwch, rydym wedi tynnu rhai arddangosfeydd o'r fynedfa i 150 Stryd Fawr, sydd yn golygu fydd gan gwsmeriaid sy'n croesi basio ei gilydd wrth gadw at y rheol pellter 2 fetr.

Gwarchodwyr Tisian

Rydym wedi gosod gwarchodwyr tisian gwydr o flaen y ddau dâl er mwyn amddiffyn ein cwsmeriaid a'n haelodau staff. Mae gan y gwarchodwyr agoriadau bach ar y gwaelod er mwyn lleihau'r cyswllt y mae'r cwsmer yn ei gael gydag aelod o staff. Mae'r agoriadau yn debyg i'r rhai a welir mewn swyddfeydd post a banciau; maent yn caniatáu i'r cwsmer ac aelod o staff gyfathrebu wrth leihau'r risg o grebachiad coronafirws.

Gorchuddion Wyneb

Mae cyngor gwyddonol ar orchuddion wyneb yn gymysg. Fel fod y pandemig wedi agor, mae'n ymddangos bod mwy a mwy o arsylwadau gwyddonol yn awgrymu fod orchuddion wyneb yn ddefnyddiol, yn bennaf oherwydd bod gwisgo mwgwd yn annog pobl i beidio â chyffwrdd â'u hwyneb. Byddem yn annog cwsmeriaid i wisgo masgiau wyneb os ydynt ar gael, yn enwedig os yw'r siopau'n brysur yn ystod eich ymweliad. Mewn sefyllfa o argyfwng, byddem yn darparu gorchuddion wyneb i chi.

Mennig

Yn debyg iawn i orchuddion wyneb, mae menig yn destun dadl wyddonol. Mae'n consensws cyffredinol y gall gwisgo menig fod yn effeithiol wrth frwydro yn erbyn lledaeniad coronafirws, fodd bynnag, derbynnir yn eang bod golchi dwylo'n rheolaidd gyda glanweithydd neu sebon yn fesur mwy effeithiol. Dyna pam y gwnaethom benderfynu sefydlu gorsafoedd glanweithio dwylo wrth y mynedfeydd, yn hytrach na dosbarthu menig. Mae croeso mawr i gwsmeriaid wisgo menig yn y siop, er y byddem yn annog defnyddio glanweithydd hefyd.

Taliad

Rydym yn parhau i dderbyn yr holl brif gardiau, sieciau, trosglwyddiadau banc ac arian parod. Rydym yn annog ein cwsmeriaid i dalu gan ddefnyddio dull talu digyswllt lle bo hynny'n bosibl.

Covid Safety Measures

Fri, 19 Jun 2020 10:54:06 GMT

Fersiwn Gymraeg

The coronavirus pandemic has made life unfamiliar and, often times, very difficult.
We wish to send our condolences to anyone who has lost a loved one before their time during this global crisis.

In a bid to gradually return to normal, governments across the UK are implementing changes to lockdown restrictions in an attempt to re-start the economy which has remain stagnant for an unprecedented quarter of a year.

Today, the Welsh government announced that non-essential retail shops can open from the 22nd of June, provided they have put forward safety measures in order to limit the spread of the virus. Although we are classified as 'home & furniture' retailers and thus have been allowed to open for a few weeks now, we felt that we needed time to implement our safety measures thoroughly in order to make Quaeck's a covid safe environment for our customers and members of staff.

We are pleased to announce that Quaeck's will be re-opening it's doors to the public on the 22nd of June, after being closed for the first time in our 70 year history . Our opening hours will be as they were before, but this will be constantly reviewed.

Opening Times

Mon: 9am - 5pm

Tue: 9am - 5pm

Wed: 9am - 5pm

Thu: 9am - 5pm

Fri: 9am - 5pm

Sat: 9am - 5pm

Sun: CLOSED

Hand Sanitiser

We have set up hand sanitising stations at the entrances of both shops so that customers can clean their hands before entering the buildings. The hand sanitising stations are regularly checked to ensure that the dispensers are adequately full. Members of staff will have access to their own hand sanitising equipment so that the chances of cross-contamination is kept to a minimum. The hand sanitiser we have purchased is medical grade sanitiser with a high alcohol content.

Social Distancing Guidance

Our clearly marked one-way system should help customers navigate both shops with minimal contact with each other. 133 High Street (furniture & beds) will see customers enter through the main entrance and follow a path marked by arrows and 2-metre-interval tape through the showroom, and then exit near the till area through a different door. This will mean that customers will have no contact whatsoever with each other, and thus reduce the risk of spreading the coronavirus. In 150 High Street (soft furnishings & carpets), the story is much of the same, except customers will be asked to enter and exit through the same door. In order to combat this slight area of increased risk, we have removed some displays from the entrance to 150 High Street, giving crossing customers ample amount of room to pass each other whilst observing the 2 metre social distancing rule.

Sneeze Guards

We have placed large glass sneeze guards in front of both tills in order to protect both our customers and our members of staff. The guards have small openings at the bottom in order to minimise the contact the customer has with a member of staff. The openings are akin to those seen in post offices and banks; they allow the customer and member of staff to communicate whilst minimising the risk of coronavirus contraction.

Face Coverings

Scientific advice on face coverings is mixed. As the pandemic has unfurled, more and more scientific observations appear to point towards face coverings being somewhat useful in limiting the spread of the coronavirus, largely due to the fact that wearing a mask discourages people from touching their face. We would encourage customers to wear face masks if available, particularly if the shops are busy during your visit. In an emergency situation, we would provide face coverings for you.

Gloves

Much like face coverings, gloves are a matter of scientific debate. There is a general consensus that wearing gloves can be effective in combating the spread of coronavirus, however, it is widely accepted that washing hands regularly with sanitiser or soap is a more effective measure. That's why we decided to set up hand sanitising stations at the entrances, rather than handing out gloves. Customers are more than welcome to wear gloves in the shop, though we would encourage the use of sanitiser too.

Payments

We continue to accept all major cards, cheques, bank transfers and cash. We encourage our customers to pay using a contactless payment method where possible.

Covid-19 Sleep Survey

Sat, 23 May 2020 10:59:16 GMT

More people admit they’re unhappy with the quality of their sleep and the effect it is having on their ability to function daily, according to a survey conducted by a collaboration involving The Sleep Charity and Sleepstation . The team surveyed more than 2,700 people - five weeks into the UK's lockdown - to find out the current state of the nation’s sleep.

The National Sleep Survey findings revealed:

Close to half of the respondents ( 43% ) are now finding it harder to fall asleep

Unease around the current situation negatively affects sleep for three quarters of people ( 75% )

More than one in 10 people ( 12% ) are experiencing severe symptoms of depression

Women were much more likely to report depressive symptoms in the moderate-severe range than men

Alarmingly over three quarters ( 77% ) say lack of sleep is interfering with their ability to function in the day

Women are suffering more than men with anxiety around coronavirus

Women are twice as likely to report feeling stressed compared to men

More than a third ( 33% ) of participants are experiencing more vivid dreams

Women also report having more vivid dreams

Sleeping well is crucial to our physical and mental health and well-being. With people experiencing signs of depression and reporting that lack of sleep is impacting on their mood, concentration and how tired they feel in the day, The Sleep Council are suggesting the government to take action.

"We have been exposed to lots of government advice around diet, exercise and how to look after our mental health during these challenging times. However, we’ve not heard anything concrete around sleep – and it has never been more important." - Sleep Council

The survey also suggested that the coronavirus was affecting all aspects of sleep.

Nearly four in 10 people ( 39% ) are now going to bed later

On average, the duration of sleep participants got each night is shorter than normal

Nearly a third of participants ( 30% ) are waking up earlier than normal

Significantly, women find it harder to fall asleep ( 46% ) with men more likely to report no change to sleep duration

Five weeks into lockdown, close to half ( 45% ) found there is no change to how difficult they find it to stay asleep. However, the other half ( 46% ) of respondents found that it is becoming increasingly more difficult to stay asleep, suggesting that this problem could get worse as lockdown continues. And women ( 40% ) – who already find it harder to fall asleep – also have greater difficulty staying asleep than men ( 33% ). Given that millions of Britons have been impacted by the coronavirus in some way, it’s no wonder three quarters of those surveyed feel ‘ corona-anxiety ’ is affecting their sleep. Women ( 41% ) are almost twice as likely to report this feeling than men ( 26% ) – this may be down to juggling ‘ home schooling ’ and working from home. Sleep is hard when anxiety levels are high it seems.

The survey findings come amid rising concern that these unprecedented times are causing a surge in sleep issues . A lack of support, or lack of awareness of the help available for those issues, could have a lasting impact on the people of Britain. Not surprisingly, an inconsistent sleep schedule, coupled with stress , is leading to a number of issues around sleep . What the Sleep Council found most troubling to learn was that more than half of the respondents were unsure where to go for help. With 41% of participants clamming to have a sleep problem, this is of particular concern for services that are ready and able to offer help.

Below (click the gold text) are some websites that might help you if you have experienced any sleep problems lately.

A Mattress Made Using Plastic Bottles

Sat, 09 May 2020 10:59:16 GMT

The Smeaton Brothers have been manufacturing innovative mattresses for years, but no-one in the industry expected this.

A mattress made using recycled plastic bottles, recovered from the planet's polluted seas.

The Envirotech 1800 by Healthbeds' Smeaton Brothers, as the name suggests, has revolutionised mattress design in a way which is both sustainable and preserves the world's oceans.

It has a unique fabric, Seaqual™, which is manufactured by the renowned Bekaert Deslee using plastic bottles collected from badly polluted waterways. This is turned into sustainable polyester fibres from which the fabric is made. Truly, a first of it's kind.

Another important feature is that at the end of the mattress life, it can be recycled, meaning the mattress will completely avoid the land fill. This makes the Envirotech 1800 the complete package when it comes to environmental maintainability.

Browse all Healthbeds mattresses, as well as other brands available at Quaeck's, on our bedroom furniture page.
