Why our sleep experts loved it

New from The Dreams Workshop, we've got a pine stained bed frame  that is constructed of both solid and veneer for a strong, durable and sturdy platform that will last for many years to come. Featuring a low rise platform that manages to squeeze storage in at every angle, this bed frame does not compromise on comfort nor airflow. The storage compartments are ideal for those looking to keep their bedroom clutter-free. Sizes may be limited, but for those who can fit a double or king size frame in their room, this could be the frame for you.

Featuring solid slats as standard, this product adds an additional degree of firmness to the mattress that sits on top which can be beneficial for back sleepers and stomach sleepers. 

Reviews for the Burton Bed are great with majority 5 stars and over 200 reviews to date and an impressive 91% consumer satisfaction. Customers particularly enjoyed the high quality and low price point while some complaints were around delivery damage, particularly with the wood panelling and headboard cracking on delivery however, Dreams customer service was able to resolve these issues fairly quickly.

This bed is fabulous! The storage drawers are sturdy and large and means I dont need a chest of drawers in what is a small double bedroom. I am thrilled with the quality of it, and the guys who delivered and erected it did a fantastic job. They were polite/speedy and took all the packaging away. They even lifted my new mattress in place for me! I have found a couple more baskets from a local store to add to the shelf spaces...as I only eed the 2 nearest the pillow end for books and phones...which also means I dont need a bedside table! This bed is perfect if you want to store loads of things...so much nicer than having plastic tubs stashed under the bed which is what I have done before. This is a quality piece of furniture..couldn't be happier. PS The headboard is very sturdy and I realised that if you fancy a change you can drape a coloured throw over it to match your colour scheme...very versatile...mine is grey quilted at the moment but may change with the seasons...so much nicer than a padded head board that gathers dust, especially if you are prone to allergies...throws can be easily washed and changed!

Okay listen up. I've been looking for a bookshelf double bed for literally years. I have no idea why these don't exist everywhere! Long gone are the days of trawling through Google trying to find a double bed, not just a single, that has shelves instead of drawers or ottoman lifts. Full drawers are so inconvenient in small spaces! Divans are only useful for bedding! Where would I put my night time book if I didn't have this wonderful delight of a bed! I'm a heavy person and this bed supports me with no issues whatsoever. The boxes can be moved to whichever shelf you want to use, which is great for me as there isn't enough space at the head for them so I've moved mine to the bottom. The single issue I have is that the headboard on this one is quite low, which means there's a gap between the mattress and the wall, so I'm on the lookout for a bookshelf headboard now!

The Wilkes Wooden Storage Bed Frame looks beautiful. The minimal design paired with the rustic appearance of the dark wood was exactly what I was looking for. Assembly was simple and I managed it singlehandedly. However, I am disappointed with the quality of the bed. Im disappointed that real wood is such a rarity now a days. I was aware that the bed frame wasnt solid wood when I bought it but once it arrived I realised how disappointed I really was. For the money I spent on the bed, Id expect it to be made of real solid wood, not manufactured or engineered. Maybe I am underestimated the price of real solid wood. Aesthetically the bed frame does what it is supposed to do but it falls apart on closer inspection, looking and feeling.. fake.

Its a lovely solid bed, I love the colour of the frame and headboard. And was easy to assemble. The baskets seem nice quality and are also a nice colour to match the frame colour. My only issue is that the inside storage compartments are not finished like the frame (they are shown to be finished with the wood effect in the display pictures above, but this is not the case) as shown in the image I uploaded. It's a shame really as this one little oversight does ruin its aesthetic as it is noticable when walking into the room. To me anyway. Even just doing the bottom of the strage compartment, as that's what you see from head height wpuld have been something. So it gets a four instead of a five from me as overall love the bed and sleeping in it.

We wanted to find something that had a relatively natural look to it and the style from photos gave us the impression it would be the one. Taking a look in-store, it ticked all the boxes for us, it's quite low level, and was incredibly easy to build coming essentially in 4 parts, the headboard, two sides and foot. The main this is it has helped us with the issues we were experiencing with our matress. Because both sides have a solid edge, there is less stress on the traditional slats that make up the centre of the bed. The cubbies are suitably spacious, and better still have encouraged us to give away some un-used items.

Easy to build as all the shelves are preconstructed, you bolt the 4 sides together and lay the slats on top. Might need a 2nd person to hold the headboard while you bolt that in. Nothing is loose and the bed looks great. Only lost a star because deep inside the shelves where it's been sprayed or treated, there is razor sharp bumps that will catch your skin. It's only a problem when constructing the bed, you'll never notice this again. Secondly the baskets have a natural wood smell which I find very nice, I'm sure it will loose this overtime but just a warning that after a month it's still a strong smell.

After 1 month we are very happy with the bed, it looks great, and is well made. The only tip I would give is that we bought extra storage boxes but they dont fit well into 2 of the compartments, the front left and right, which are slightly smaller than the rest. So you might want to bear that in mind if youre planning on using the boxes in every container. The delivery service was excellent, and the bed assembly, they wore PPE at all times due to Covid, and were friendly. Overall very happy and would have given five stars if it was for the slight flaw in design mentioned above.

The bed is really cute, I absolutely love the design with the shelves (as I own a lot of books!). The delivery was great, they came at the time that they said they would and they built it in an incredibly short amount of time and took all the packaging with them! I would 100% recommend paying a bit extra for the assembly, so hassle-free and so much quicker than anything I could have done with my family or friends. The headboard has a light discoloration in one corner, but I don't really mind too much, just thought I'd add it for full honesty and transparency.

A very stylish bed with excellent storage space. So, if you're like me and have a drawer over flowing with clothes the little bed drawers are perfect for holding jammies and thick items to free up space! The material is cheap, which is a bit of a downside. Even with all of the protective packaging the headboard has been damaged. We would have preferred a better material. Overall, the bed is aesthetically nice! Excellent for functionality! But material is a 6.5 out of 10.

This bed is incredible, it feels really sturdy (neither of us are slim, so we were worried about this as read you have to choose frames carefully, but its hard to find weight recommendations on most U.K. websites. The extra storage we have is fantastic too! Also looks really lovely. We paid for the assembly, but the Dreams staff mentioned the instructions were wrong, so might be worth noting if youre planning on doing this yourself.

Bought this bed recently and it was delivered fairly quickly, it arrived in 4 boxes. I did not pay for assemble and would recommend you either pay for it or enlist some help as the side rails are quite heavy. Overall, a beautiful bed! I love the contemporary design and feel to it, very sturdy fit for my heavy Simba mattress. The storage baskets are perfect and spacious with an option to buy more. Love it, love it!

Very nice bed, doesnt look like real solid oak though but a reasonable approximation if not next to real solid oak furniture. Fairly easy to assemble. Having 10 generous storage spaces makes it good value and reduces the need to clutter the bedroom with too much other storage. I wouldnt pay the full RRP but Dreams have regular sales and discount offers so if youre patient you can get it at a reasonable price.

Random question we are having a new carpet laid. Will this bed be okay just to lift up and roll the carpet underneath.

Answer: Thank you for reaching out with your question. The weight of the bed may help you calculate if this would be possible. We are able to provide this through the package delivery dimensions for the bed which weights 76 kgs.

Hello. Someone asked a few days ago if the 200cm length include the headboard, but in the dimensions description on the website it says that the length is 210cm (not 200cm). Is it 200cm for the frame and 10cm for the headboard? Thank you.

Answer: I apologise for any confusion. The previous question was based on the double size. The 210cm is for the king size and would follow the same premise of 10cm for the headboard and 200cm for the frame.Many thanks
