Upholstered Bed Frame, 4FT6 Double, 194.5 x 164.5 x 85 cm, White

This upholstered bed frame is designed around real bedrooms: a padded surround for sitting up in bed, a slatted base that lets the mattress breathe, and a frame that stays quiet when you turn over. In White, the flat panels stay uniform in tone from edge to edge, which suits a modern room better than a printed grain would.

Quality MDF panels, properly braced at the back and base, give the piece the weight and stability to sit square on an uneven floor. The base is braced and the back panel is fixed, so the unit stays square even on a floor that is not quite level.

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: 194.5 x 164.5 x 85 cm (L x W x H)
• Weight: 76 kg
• Materials: MDF
• 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.

A dry microfibre cloth handles daily dust, and a slightly damp cloth is enough for marks; dry the surface straight away to protect the finish.

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