Metal Bed Frame, 3FT Single, 211 x 90.5 x 124 cm, Cream White,White

A metal bed frame 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 Cream White,White cover is neutral enough to sit with most schemes, yet rich enough to lift a plain room.

Wrapped in soft Velvet, the padding holds its loft and the cover keeps a neat, even finish where hands and feet rest most often. 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: 211 x 90.5 x 124 cm (L x W x H)
• Weight: 29 kg
• Materials: Velvet
• Colour: Cream White,White

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