Upholstered Bed Frame, Velvet, Cream

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. The Cream 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
• Packaging: 159 x 47 x 15.5 cm packed (L x W x H)
• Weight: 28.5 kg
• Materials: Velvet
• Colour: Cream

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.

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.
