Daybed with Trundle, 3FT Single, 202 x 190 x 95 cm, Gray

A daybed with trundle that looks considered rather than showy, with a wide padded headboard, a sturdy slatted base and clean lines that suit both rented flats and family homes. The Gray upholstery is the calm centre of the room, easy to pair with pale walls and warm wood.

Wrapped in soft Velvet, the padding holds its loft and the cover keeps a neat, even finish where hands and feet rest most often. The frame is corner-blocked and the legs are fitted with floor protectors, so it sits flat and stays quiet on hard floors.

Key features

• The slatted base is spaced to let air reach the mattress, which keeps it fresher and helps it keep its shape
• Assembly is straightforward: the frame arrives in labelled sections with the fixings, tools and instructions included
• The headboard is deep enough to sit against without a pillow, which matters for reading or watching television in bed
• Dimensions: 202 x 190 x 95 cm (L x W x H)
• Weight: 38 kg
• Materials: Velvet
• Colour: Gray

It works just as happily in a rented flat as in a family home, because the frame breaks down into manageable parts and goes back together with the fittings supplied. Keep it away from radiators so the upholstery does not dry out and lose its loft.

Keep it looking fresh by brushing the fabric weekly and dabbing spills rather than rubbing; most marks lift with a mild fabric cleaner and a soft cloth.

A solid base for a good night’s sleep, and a piece that keeps the bedroom looking put together.
