Daybed with Trundle, 3FT Single, 203 x 101 x 76 cm, Grey

This daybed with trundle takes the hard edges out of a bedroom, with a softly upholstered surround, a supportive slatted base and a low profile that keeps the room feeling open. The Grey cover is neutral enough to sit with most schemes, yet rich enough to lift a plain room.

Upholstered in Velvet with high-density foam underneath, it absorbs weight quietly and springs back into shape once you stand up. Underneath, a braced frame and sturdy legs carry the weight evenly, and the feet are shaped to protect wooden flooring.

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: 203 x 101 x 76 cm (L x W x H)
• Weight: 48.7 kg
• Materials: Velvet
• Colour: Grey

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.

For routine care, vacuum the upholstery on a low setting and blot spills straight away with a dry cloth; a barely damp cloth handles marks without soaking the padding.

A bed frame that looks settled in the room from the first night, rather than something you have to work around.
