Metal Bed Frame, 4FT6 Double, 195.5 x 98 x 177 cm, Black

Built to be lived around, this metal bed frame pairs a deep padded headboard with a solid slatted base, so late-night reading and early alarms both feel a little easier. In Black, the flat panels stay uniform in tone from edge to edge, which suits a modern room better than a printed grain would.

The Iron and Metal & Wood boards are thick, edged and finished on both faces, which keeps the unit rigid under load and free from the bowing cheaper panels show. The base is braced and the back panel is fixed, so the unit stays square even on a floor that is not quite level.

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: 195.5 x 98 x 177 cm (L x W x H)
• Weight: 41 kg
• Materials: Iron and Metal & Wood
• Colour: Black

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.

Dust with a soft cloth and wipe marks with a barely damp sponge, then dry immediately; avoid polish build-up and standing water on the surface.

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