Metal Bed Frame, 4FT6 Double, 208 x 137 x 110 cm, Grey

This metal bed frame is designed around real bedrooms: a padded surround for sitting up in bed, a slatted base that lets the mattress breathe, and a frame that stays quiet when you turn over. Finished in Grey, it brings a soft block of colour without shouting over everything else in the room.

Wrapped in soft Linen, 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: 208 x 137 x 110 cm (L x W x H)
• Weight: 34.96 kg
• Materials: Linen
• 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. Leave a walkway in front so people can get in and out without shuffling sideways.

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.
