Ottoman Storage Bed, 3FT Single, 211 x 103 x 116 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, Wood and Metal cover feels warm to the touch and is tailored tight over the frame, so it keeps a crisp shape rather than looking loose. 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: 211 x 103 x 116 cm (L x W x H)
• Weight: 44.9 kg
• Materials: Linen, Wood and Metal
• Colour: Grey

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. 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.
