Ottoman Storage Bed, 3FT Single, 208 x 107 x 99 cm, White

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. The White upholstery is the calm centre of the room, easy to pair with pale walls and warm wood.

Wrapped in soft Boucle, 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

• 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 107 x 99 cm (L x W x H)
• Weight: 39 kg
• Materials: Boucle
• Colour: 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.

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.
