Ottoman Storage Bed, 3FT Single, 204.5 x 106.5 x 102 cm, Grey

This ottoman storage bed 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. Finished in Grey, it brings a soft block of colour without shouting over everything else in the room.

The Linen upholstery is densely padded, so the surface stays smooth and supportive instead of sagging after a few months of use. The frame is corner-blocked and the legs are fitted with floor protectors, so it sits flat and stays quiet on hard floors.

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: 204.5 x 106.5 x 102 cm (L x W x H)
• Weight: 43.2 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.

A quick vacuum and a light pass with a soft brush keeps the cover neat, and any spill is best blotted at once before it settles into the weave.

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