Ottoman Storage Bed, 4FT6 Double, 218 x 142.5 x 106.5 cm, Grey

Built to be lived around, this ottoman storage bed pairs a deep padded headboard with a solid slatted base, so late-night reading and early alarms both feel a little easier. The Grey upholstery is the calm centre of the room, easy to pair with pale walls and warm wood.

Wrapped in soft Velvet, the padding holds its loft and the cover keeps a neat, even finish where hands and feet rest most often. 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: 218 x 142.5 x 106.5 cm (L x W x H)
• Weight: 60.9 kg
• Materials: Velvet
• 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. 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.

Practical, comfortable and quietly good-looking — the sort of frame you stop noticing because everything just works.
