Ottoman Storage Bed, 4FT6 Double, 204 x 141 x 121 cm, Grey

This ottoman storage bed gives the bedroom a proper centrepiece: a padded frame you can sit up against, a headboard that softens a plain wall, and a footprint that leaves room to move. The Grey cover is neutral enough to sit with most schemes, yet rich enough to lift a plain room.

The Velvet cover feels warm to the touch and is tailored tight over the frame, so it keeps a crisp shape rather than looking loose. 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: 204 x 141 x 121 cm (L x W x H)
• Weight: 46.6 kg
• Materials: Velvet
• Colour: Grey

A good fit for a main bedroom or a spare room, where it leaves space for a bedside table on each side and still leaves a clear walkway. 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 bed frame that looks settled in the room from the first night, rather than something you have to work around.
