Ottoman Storage Bed, 4FT6 Double, 198 x 150 x 120 cm, Gray

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

Upholstered in Velvet with high-density foam underneath, it absorbs weight quietly and springs back into shape once you stand up. 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: 198 x 150 x 120 cm (L x W x H)
• Weight: 38.5 kg
• Materials: Velvet
• Colour: Gray

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. 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.

A solid base for a good night’s sleep, and a piece that keeps the bedroom looking put together.
