How to PIVOT

PIVOT is a modular concept that allows you to customise your bedroom and exercise space. It all starts with the PIVOT Bed, which serves as the base and frame for the system.

When locked upright, it provides numerous attachment points for PIVOT accessories.

These include the PIVOT Power Rack, PIVOT Full-Width Pull-up Bar, and PIVOT Dip Bars, among others. To learn more about these attachments, visit our Shop page.

The shipping time for PIVOT orders depends on where we are in our manufacturing cycle.

If we have stock of all the parts and accessories for your order, we can often dispatch it next day.

If we don't have stock of all the parts and accessories for your order, it can take up to 12 weeks for us to dispatch.

We are a small company producing a very high quality product in relatively small numbers, we are not mass-producing and holding large amounts of stock.

Our headboards are made-to-order, in the UK, due to the huge number of permutations. This usually takes less than a week.

For orders outside the UK, headboards can ONLY be shipped with the bed – they cannot be shipped on their own after the bed has shipped.

We can hold orders until you are ready to take delivery and we strongly advise getting your order in earlier rather than later to avoid delays.

UK Orders take about two days to deliver. Orders to North America, Europe and some other regions are serviced by FedEx air freight and this takes on average about 10 days to deliver.Regions such as Australia are served by ocean freight which obviously takes much longer.

You can ask us for an air freight quote, but it will likely be expensive.

PIVOT Bed is available in two lengths and three widths, and these are interchangeable for maximum size coverage.

The available lengths are:
- 1900mm (6'3")
- 2000mm (6'7")

The available widths are:
- 1400mm (4'7")
- 1500mm (4'11")
- 1600mm (5'3")

Please note that international naming conventions and slight size variations may cause confusion, so it is essential to follow the dimensions provided on our product page.

If you need a combination of length and width not listed, choose Custom at checkout and send us a message at orders@pvt.fit.

Please note, though, that we cannot produce custom lengths or widths, just custom combinations of existing lengths and widths.

It is worth noting that international mattress sizes may not match the frame's exact measurements, and there is no issue if the frame is slightly larger or smaller than your mattress.

Mattresses are deformable and small gaps at the edges do not present any problems. Producing parts for each and every international mattress size would not be commercially viable.

We are considering developing wider beds such as 1800mm (5'11"), but we have not committed to these sizes yet.

The additional width requires considerable additional engineering and testing, it isn't as trivial as it may at first appear. Please let us know if you are interested in these sizes as the more feedback we receive, the more likely we are to develop them.

You can find all of PIVOT Bed's measurements HERE.

Currently, PIVOT can only be purchased through this website. We do not have any physical stores in the UK or overseas.

The PIVOT Bed's base structure is designed to provide exceptional stability and strength, ensuring that it remains firmly in place on the floor.

The bed frame pivots within the base using gas springs, and once it reaches a vertical position, dual latches engage automatically and can be locked independently.

The base extends beyond the lines of force created by exercising, particularly from the pull-up and dip bars, so there is no possibility of it toppling over. Furthermore, the base unit must be screwed to the wall.

This depends on what configuration you have, and what exercise you wish to perform, etc.

However, lifting and lowering the bed takes just a few seconds.

To lift the bed, you generally just need to move the pillows to the centre of the mattress, under the duvet/covers, and lift.

Bedding should be held in place between your mattress and headboard/wall.

The mattress is held to the bed frame using an elastic strap over each corner at the foot of the bed, which goes over the mattress and under your fitted sheet, meaning it is hidden from view.

Here are two short videos showing how long it takes for a full configuration including our optional pull-up bar extensions:

The product is made in the UK and has passed BS EN ISO 20957-1 Stationary Training Equipment – General Safety Requirements and Test Methods.

This is a demanding and internationally recognised safety standard and the only applicable standard for the UK and Europe.

At PIVOT, safety is our number one priority.

The pull-up and dip bars are rated to 130kgs, which means they have been tested to in excess of 325kgs of load as multiplying the maximum rated user weight by x2.5 is required to pass the safety standard.

The product is self-supporting with a very stable base, though it must be fixed to the wall or floor so it remains safe while being lifted/lowered.

The latching system is designed to be redundant – any one latch will hold the apparatus upright safely. Even without latches, the product will only ever lower to the floor slowly due to the strong gas springs used to assist lifting and lowering.

We've developed our own, unique, computer-controlled safety testing rig to allow us to perform stress testing (dynamic movement).

This means we can simulate, for example, a 130kg user performing 12,000 pull-ups. We use it every time we make a relevant change.

We have a 30-day return policy. To be eligible for a return, your item must be in the same condition that you received it, and in its original packaging.

To start a return, you can contact us at orders@pvt.fit.

Customers will be responsible for the return shipping charges unless we determine that we are at fault for an order error or product defect.
