We're looking at the Dawson Single Ottoman Sound System Bed and it looks to have a few unique and interesting features not found in other bed frames. Sold exclusively through Dreams under its own brand comes a new bed frame that features massive storage options and a sound system to keep things interesting.
Starting with the shell of the frame, you get a single colour option of grey that will give your room a fantastic flair as it manages to stand out thanks to its chunky design and curves.
Onto the inside and the bed frame has an ottoman design which features a lift system that allows you to easily manoeuvre the full mattress and store anything beneath, typically bedding and sheets. The ottoman design is quickly becoming one of the most desirable storage options as it has better coverage and depth than equivalent 2 and 4 drawer options.
For where it starts to get really special, you have a sound system built into the frame, specifically through hidden speakers found in the headend, allowing you to drift off to sleep with your favourite relaxing music. The sound system is bluetooth connected and the wooden design of the frame allows the sound to project strongly with good quality depth of low, mid and high fidelity.
Reviews for the Dawson bed are good, and most come from parents and grandparents who bought it for a child or teenager. The storage gets a lot of praise. One owner called it "exceptional" and another keeps golf clubs in it. The speakers are what the kids love, whether that's for music, audiobooks or a parent waking a teenager up from their phone. Owners agree less on the sound itself, which one called "surprisingly good" and another found "Ok for light background music". The frame is mostly described as sturdy and well made.
Most owners who mention assembly found it easy and one had it "built in 30mins", but for another "it took us SEVERAL hours". The lift is easy for most, though a few found it stiff and one warned that "it springs up too quick when lifting the bed". Complaints are few. A couple of owners found the floor of the storage area too thin for anything heavy. One had a slat break two days after building the bed, and another felt the slats weren't strong enough for a larger teenager. One had a speaker stop working after six days and got no help from customer services, while an owner with a fault in the fabric was offered an exchange or a discount.
