Ottoman Storage Bed, 4FT6 Double, 221 x 147 x 77.5 cm, White

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

The Boucle 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: 221 x 147 x 77.5 cm (L x W x H)
• Weight: 49.7 kg
• Materials: Boucle
• Colour: White

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. Leave a walkway in front so people can get in and out without shuffling sideways.

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