Why our sleep experts loved it
The Chloe Bouclé Ottoman Bed Frame, a collaboration between Dreams and the interiors experts at House Beautiful magazine. This bed frame is a testament to what happens when style meets functionality. Upholstered in a sumptuous cream bouclé fabric, it exudes a mid-century aesthetic that's softened by a curved, winged headboard. But let's not just dwell on the surface; there's much more to this bed frame than meets the eye so let’s jump in and see what makes it great.
Design & Aesthetics
Let’s start with the obvious, the Chloe Bouclé Ottoman Bed Frame is a visual treat. The cream bouclé fabric is not just a tactile delight but also offers a deceptively durable finish. The walnut-stain wooden plinth adds a touch of elegance, making it a versatile piece that could fit into various interior design themes while the curved winged headboard featuring chic piping detail is the cherry on top, adding a layer of sophistication. The whole ensemble works particularly well but the limited colour options might prove somewhat limiting in different room designs.
Storage Capabilities
Ottomans are increasingly popular for a reason, quite simply lift the end of this bed frame, and voila, you have a spacious storage area with an internal depth of over 26cm. A convenient support bar ensures the bed stays raised while you're accessing your stored items. It's a well-thought-out design that maximises utility without compromising on style. We have found other deeper storage options from the retailer in the past, but this feels like a reasonable compromise on both style and substance that works well enough for the occasional piece of bedding that would need to be tucked away.
What Real Customers Thought
The Chloe Bouclé Ottoman Bed Frame is still quite new to the range but has managed to enjoy a stellar 5.0 rating based on customer reviews. Long term customers have praised its sturdy construction and ample storage with one reviewer calling it both "gorgeous" and "very sturdy with lots of storage." Another lauded the colour coordination and the strong base both of which feel at home in most traditional and even modern settings. These reviews indicate that the product lives up to its promise, offering both style and substance and for the price, actually somewhat reasonable for the quality provided.
Suitability & Personal Thoughts
While the bed frame is well-reviewed, it's still a fairly new product on the market. Its large weight limit makes it suitable for heavier individuals, a feature often overlooked in many bed frames but fairly important once you consider the heavy weight of some mattress paired with a couple of people. Ultimately this product is fairly well priced at under £700 for the double, but that might still be out of reach for some people on a budget. This could therefore prove to be a barrier for many, especially those on a budget. Also, the lack of fabric and colour options might not suit some room designs as mentioned previously.
Final Thoughts
The House Beautiful Chloe Bouclé Ottoman Bed Frame is a premium product that offers a blend of aesthetic appeal and practical utility. It's a bed frame that promises—and delivers—on multiple fronts. However, its premium price and limited customisation options might not make it a universal fit. But if you're looking for a bed frame that makes a statement while solving your storage woes, this could very well be your dream come true.
