Explore our wide selection of safe furniture designed to prioritise safety in any situation, sector or industry for service users, staff and residents.
Mental Health
Mental health environments ask a lot of furniture. It needs to be safe for people in acute distress. It needs to withstand daily use in demanding clinical settings. It needs to meet strict infection control requirements. And it needs to feel like a place of care, not a place of containment.

Youth Justice
Youth justice facilities require furniture that addresses a specific and complex set of needs. Young people in secure environments are at elevated risk, and the furniture they live with every day is part of the clinical and custodial risk picture. It needs to support the kind of environment where rehabilitation is actually possible.

Corrections Furniture
Corrections environments place the most demanding requirements on furniture of any setting. Furniture must resist misuse and mishandling. It must eliminate ligature risk across every surface and profile. And it must do all of this across years of continuous use in environments that test everything.

Abecca are best described as designers, innovators and manufacturers who consistently forefront quality. Our experience with textile fabric started in 1952 when Mr David Beatson returned from World War II and started a business supplying and repairing horse and cow covers using canvas fabric.
Fast forward 70+ years, and Beatson’s descendants now manage a team of experts manufacturing safe furniture for a range of environments. While our safe furniture isn’t covered in canvas, the same principles of working with fabric apply, so you can count on our decades of experience and knowledge to produce outstanding results.
With the fourth generation still actively managing the business, we are family-owned through and through. Watch our video to learn more.
Our belief in our products ensures consistent quality.
Our friendly team is always ready to assist with your safe furniture needs – we would love to chat.
