Ottoman Storage Bed, 4FT6 Double, 209.5 x 150 x 102.5 cm, White

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. The White cover is neutral enough to sit with most schemes, yet rich enough to lift a plain room.

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: 209.5 x 150 x 102.5 cm (L x W x H)
• Weight: 52.3 kg
• Materials: Boucle
• Colour: White

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. Turn the cushions now and then to even out the wear where everyone sits.

Keep it looking fresh by brushing the fabric weekly and dabbing spills rather than rubbing; most marks lift with a mild fabric cleaner and a soft cloth.

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