Metal Bed Frame, 4FT6 Double, 2 Drawers, 200 x 148 x 114.5 cm, Beige

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 Beige 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 seat platform is reinforced rather than stapled, which is why it does not dip in the middle after a few months.

Key features

• Weight: 32 kg

• Colour: Beige

Set it up in a main bedroom, a guest room or a teenager’s room — the frame suits a range of mattress sizes and sits well against either a feature wall or a row of wardrobes. Turn the cushions now and then to even out the wear where everyone sits.

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.

Practical, comfortable and quietly good-looking — the sort of frame you stop noticing because everything just works.
