Upholstered Bed Frame, 4FT6 Double, 198 x 140 x 107 cm, Beige

Built to be lived around, this upholstered bed frame pairs a deep padded headboard with a solid slatted base, so late-night reading and early alarms both feel a little easier. The Beige 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. 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: 198 x 140 x 107 cm (L x W x H)
• Weight: 40.4 kg
• Materials: Velvet
• Colour: Beige

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. Keep it away from radiators so the upholstery does not dry out and lose its loft.

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.
