When I redecorated my bedroom, i picked everything in lacquered, light wood and whites. I would have liked a wooden bed, but I have a cat, so I had to go for a metal frame or he would have used it as an additional scratch post. I'm telling you this so that you'll realise that when I bought it, this frame was kind of a "plan b", the choice I HAD to make due to my pet, rather than something I truly liked. However, once it was delivered, my attitude towards it quickly changed. It's a very solid frame, no wiggling, no squeaking, no defects of any kind and I paid for assembly so it was also solidly put together. It was one of the cheaper frames, so I re-invested the saving into buying good sprung slats (an add-on that I would advise you to get if you can afford the extra cost) and a truly exceptional mattress. This combination has outperformed all my expectations, I have the best bed I've ever had in my life. I am so glad that I decided to pop into Dreams to see what they offered, as otherwise I would have had to buy everything online, without trying it, and I doubt that I would have achieved the same results. I didn't give it a perfect score because the feet are simply raw steel (painted, obviously), without any feature that would prevent scratching your wood/laminate floor when the bed inevitably needs to be moved. however I obviously solved that problem by buying some large felt pads, which fit it perfectly. So, it's a handsome frame, it's sturdy, solid yet cheap, so as long as you like the design and colour, choosing it is a no-brainer.

Wow, in a word. I decided to purchase the Ava metal frame bed from Dreams after an awful experience with a certain Swedish flat pack furniture store (worse thing Ive EVER slept on and it gave me horrendous backaches every single day). The bed is gorgeous and incredibly well made, and unlike the last one, this hasnt started squeaking after sleeping on it for a week! I paid extra for the Dreams team to construct the bed (Im in a wheelchair), and Im so pleased I did, they did such a great job (and had the bed made within twenty minutes). Its also really sturdy (and still hasnt squeaked once). They were lovely guys too. Overall, I can honestly say I dont think Id ever buy another bed from anyone but Dreams again. The whole experience with them, from the ease of placing the order, to actually sleeping on it, has made a huge difference (and no backaches in sight!). I have enough health issues to deal with, I dont need an incredibly uncomfortable bed adding to it. Though the last one was slightly cheaper, it certainly wasnt worth the months of uncomfortable, often sleepless nights. Id recommend Dreams, and especially the beautiful Ava bed frame, to anyone. Thanks Dreams, for such a wonderful experience and a bed that is truly a delight to sleep on!

I really love this bed frame, it's gorgeous and sturdy. It was really easy to build, two people can do it easily in a couple of hours. I love the little flowers on it as it makes the bed a bit more special. My only issue with the frame is that one of the corner balls came with the paint chipped in a visible area. I would definitely buy it again, however I wouldn't pay for the selected AM/PM delivery. Mine was scheduled for the beginning of my selected PM delivery and the driver arrived an hour earlier than the slot I was provided with. This way my delivery came at AM, was a waste of money for me. At least the driver called me so I could come home from work.

Great sturdy frame. Easy to order, friendly in store staff that were very knowledgable and helpful. Delivery went very smoothly and on time with great communication. The only reason I have not given it 5 stars was that the footboard had blistered paint. However when I rang customer service, they were more than helpful and we took delivery of a replacement part the next week. Delivery team arrived on time, fitted the replacement part free of charge and took all packaging and the faulty part away- very neat and tidy. Overall a great experience and would definitely recommend them .

I was looking for a white metal bed frame that would look nice in my cottage. This bed is well made, sturdy, and looks amazing. It's a clean white colour and the details on the bed look pretty. I went for the sprung slat base and this was a good choice despite the extra money as it makes the mattress feel softer and more comfortable. It was relatively easy to assemble, although there were a few points where two pairs of hands were needed. The instructions were clear and easy to follow and it took about an hour to put together.

If you are looking for a comfortable bed, with a nice metal frame finish and at a bargain price, well this is the product for you. This won't cure any back ailments you may have, but it will most certainly help. As a sciatica sufferer for many years, I have systematically been looking for a mattress that could help my lower back pain---to no avail, until I found and purchased this bed. I have never had a great nights sleep, until now and I would highly recommend this to all back pain sufferers 10/10

Very happy with bed frame. Our old divan was creaking a lot so I wanted to replace it. This makes no noise at all which is lovely. Nice to have room underneath for storage too. Delivery on time and well notified. Paid for assembly, very quick and they left the included instructions and allen key should we need to disassemble it anytime. Easy to undo should we need to move apparently. Went for solid slats as didnt think itd make much difference with our mattress. No idea though! Very happy with it as is.

The bed frame was very easy to assemble. I hadn't realised how high the bed became once our mattress was added. This was perfect for my husband and me as we are getting a little grey around the edges and can't spring out of bed like we used to. We opted for solid slats and this has, again, been perfect for us, giving us a fairly firm mattress to ensure a good night's sleep. The frame looks amazing in our bedroom and we will definitely be upgrading our other bed to the double size version of this.

I've had this bed for a couple of weeks and it's one of the most comfortable I've ever slept in. There's plenty of storage space underneath and although some reviews say the frame creaks I haven't heard a peep from mine as of yet. Assembly didn't take too long either, between the two of us working together we put it up relatively quickly with little to no problems, although some of the bolts underneath are a bit fiddly to screw in. All on all, lovely bed that makes my bedroom so much nicer.

Very sturdy, high-quality looking bed for my daughter. She absolutely loves it, has a real traditional feel to it. Took a while to come but thats down to supply chain issues and adequate warning was given. The best part of the purchase were the three extremely helpful gentleman who delivered the bed up to the third floor, they were very helpful in giving advice on how to construct it, took their shoes off, respected my property. 10 out of 10 for service well done dreams!

I am totally happy with my bed. From the moment of choosing the bed/mattress from Sebastian at Customer Service, not only did he suggest the best options for me, but he got me the best possible deal that didn't hurt my purse strings! I have to say that from the moment of ordering to the delivery they kept in contact with me on a regular basis. The men were helpful and polite and gave me the best possible advice. Well done Dreams you are an A* Company.

I bought this bed plus the recommended mattress and I am delighted with it. I haven't had such a good night's sleep in years, even with my arthritis. Plus it was del;ivered on the date and time booked. The two men that installed it for me were very polite, professional and carried out all the Covid-19 rules. They removed my old bed and mattress as well. They left the whole house spotlessly clean

Questions and Answers About The Ava Metal Bed Frame

Prospective customers had the following questions about the product

Caromik
Please could you let me know if the length is correct on the standard (4ft 6) double? It states the length is 212cm however a standard double mattress is only 190cm in length. This would leave a considerable gap?

Answer: The length from the inside of the headboard to the inside of the foot end; which is the space where the mattress will sit, is 193.4cm long. Therefore there will be only a very small gap to allow for.The measurement of 212cm takes into account the headboard and foot end which as a result add in extra length.

Is the slated base wooden and the sprung base metal. Would be helpful if you showed pictures of the alternatives

Answer: Sprung slats are stronger wood, have an extra strengthening bar in the middle and are upwardly curved. This means they're more durable. We recommend upgrading to sprung slats if this will be your main bed. Solid slats are the basic pine planks that hold your mattress up from the floor.Thank you for your question.

Is the length dimension for the 4'6 Double listed correctly? Only, shouldn't it be 202cm / 79"? (4'6 double mattress are usually 75" long). Please can you check this and all the other dimensions listed too? Thank you.

Answer: I apologise if there is confusion around the dimensions of the Ava Bed Frame.I can confirm that the length of the bed, from head end to foot end is 201cm. The length of the sleeping area, where the mattress lays is 193.4cm.The width of the frame is 138.5cm.

Hi which slats are better, there are 2 types? Is there support in the middle of the bed to prevent sagging?

Answer: The Sprung slats are an upgrade to the solid slats as they offer extra support. The Solid slats come with 1 x supporting leg and the sprung slats comes with 3 x supporting legs spread evenly down the middle of the frame.

What is the difference between solid slates and spring slates, we want a memory mattress which is best for it.

Answer: Solid and sprung slats work in different ways. Solid slats provide a firmer sleeping experience, while sprung slats offer more cushioned support. Either slat system is compatible with a memory foam mattress.

Is this bed at all creaky like some Metal beds can be?

Answer: Beds can become creaky if they are not tightened or assembled correctly, we would advise to periodically re tighten the bolts to ensure the bed does not become creaky over time

Will this bed fit the mattress 200 x 160 cm ?

Answer: The Ava bed frame in a king will accommodate a mattress measuring 150cm x 200cm as a result the mattress you are inquiring about is unlikely to fit this bed frame properly.
