Why our sleep experts loved it

The Deacon bed frame is not just a piece of furniture but a design statement. Its stylish fabric upholstery, available in cream flat weave and grey velvet finishes, gives it a timeless appeal that blends effortlessly into any room decor. Its grandeur is further amplified by the tall headboard, accentuated with meticulous button detailing that gives a plush and elegant exterior. This bed has been praised by many customers for its aesthetic appeal and transformative power, giving their bedrooms a touch of luxury akin to a boutique hotel.

Moreover, functionality is at the core of the Deacon bed frame design. Its sprung slat upgrade, available upon request, offers enhanced shock absorption and cushioned support, contributing to a comfortable sleeping experience. It features a spacious ottoman-style storage compartment, highly appreciated by our customers for hiding away bulky, infrequently used items.

The bed frame's assembly process is also quite straightforward, taking about 30 minutes with two people. Despite some comments about the need for additional support under the middle of the slats, the overall quality of the bed frame is praised by most users, who have found it sturdy and well made.

Nevertheless, it's worth noting that the unique pile of the fabric can slightly alter the shade of the colour depending on the lighting and positioning of the bed in your room. A few customers have pointed out a blue tinge to the grey finish, although this was still found to be aesthetically pleasing.

Lastly, and the thing that brings the whole deal together surrounds the plentiful positive feedback about the excellent customer service provided by Dreams, which further enhances the overall shopping experience. From offering matching bedside tables and blanket boxes for additional storage to providing extended cover through the Bedcover Service Plan, you can be ensured of good quality and service.

We ordered this bed at the beginning of the Covid pandemic and initially had a 12 week wait for our bed to be delivered. However, once restrictions were lifted we were able to get our delivery brought forward, which dreams happily arranged for us. Due to social distancing delivery could only be made to the front door, which I understand is out of their hands, however a word of warning... the bed comes in four very large boxes and is extremely heavy so take this into consideration if having to move yourself. The bed was relatively straight forward to assemble, though this may prove difficult if your room is on the smaller side. For the most part I was able to put it together myself, but you will need another person to attach the frame to the bed, again very heavy. The hydraulic for the storage underneath is also very stiff initially and requires quite a bit of force to get moving. Overall we are very satisfied with the Deacon bed. It allows for a lot of storage, is very comfortable due to the flexible slats and is a beautiful and quality piece of furniture.

From the minute I walked into the Dreams store in Slough until the moment that I received the bed and mattress that I ordered, I couldn't have been more impressed by both the service and the quality of the products that I received. The in-store help and advice was exceptional in helping me to make the right choices - the guy who looked after us stayed late after the store closed, made us a nice cup of coffee and spent time with us showing us everything - nothing was too much trouble. He even gave us a bottle of water each to take home! Then the entire delivery process was seamless and super impressive - the company kept in touch with me every step of the way and it's the most impressive delivery service that I have experienced. The bed and mattress are both brilliant quality and I cannot fault them - thanks to Dreams I am having my best night's sleep ever and I will definitely be returning to buy more from them. Can't recommend them more highly, other companies cannot match them.

I purchased this bed in November and just had to come back and write a review. After a few months of use, I can say that the build quality is incredible and it has a lot more storage than I expected. I know that with some ottomans the storage element can compromise the comfort but with this bed you have nothing to worry about. I ordered a double in grey. Please be aware that the colour is more like a teal/ grey than typical grey but is even more stunning in my opinion! However, if you are going for a standard grey, I would visit a dreams store and ask to see the colour before you purchase to check that you're happy. Delivery was very smooth. I paid extra for the assembly option and was relieved, especially when I saw how large and heavy some of the parts were. Definitely a two (or three) person job! The guys were extremely polite and had the bed assembled in no time! This bed will be the stunning focal point of any bedroom and is sure to receive many compliments!

This bed is incredible the headboard is fantastic and of great quality finish! I bought the whole range bedside cabinets and the blanket box and the bedroom looks incredible, I have gone for a botanical theme so with the palm leaves, banana leaf look sort of a bohemian tropical look with sage green colours and rich greens and really looks incredible! The quality of the material and the actual bed itself you cannot fault one bit, one thing I would suggest if you don't have the patience with setting it up and with all the surplus cardboard,polystyrene I would recommend having the set up fee so it was done for you and the recycling, rubbish removed as this took a long time removing and installing the bed because we thought we would save the extra pennies and do it ourselves but I would have dreams team do this for us if we ever need to order from them in future. But the product itself from the bed to the whole range is just top notch!

The bed has a real luxury feeling to it and feels very solid once assembled. Assembly is quite easy. Lifting the ottomon is ok and assisted by gas springs, these certainly help but do require a bit of effort to get started. The space underneath is fantastic and we actually store a spare futton double mattress underneath and bedding for guests. The colour seems more like a greyish blue than pure dark grey, this was not a problem for us as we chose a dark blue wall but initially we had dark teal and it did seem to clash a bit. The design style is obvioulsy personal choice but we found the straight headboard and base directly on the carpet really nice features. Some of the panel do feel quite lightweight and a bit cheap on quality, especially the base inside the ottoman, but it all feels sturdy once assembled so hopefully it will withstand wear over time. Overall really pleased with the design style.

Had this bed now for around 4/5 months! Its perfect. The storage is a life saver as we dont have much storage in our flat, so its an added bonus to store things. Its not heavy to lift and easily goes back down. The delivery guys were so accommodating and I paid extra for the assemble; which Im so glad I did after seeing the big heavy headboard etc. They put it up in no time and placed the bed exactly where I wanted it. Took all the rubbish away and were very polite. The bed itself is super sturdy and comfy, the colour is gorgeous and looks more expensive than it is! The headboard does collect a little dust and it shows but super super easy to clean I just use a clothes brush. We went for the grey colour and its a little darker than I thought but its perfect for our all white bedroom its a real feature piece of furniture. I love it!

Purchased this bed in super king, it is so luxurious. The quality is excellent and it looks great, there is loads of storage underneath and the mechanism works well (if a little stiff at first). Some points to make people aware - 1. I measured to check the bed would fit in the room but failed to think about how to get it in there! The headboard is huge and wouldn't fit through our bedroom door so we had to remove the panel above our door to get it in. 2. It is quite hard work to assemble. I would probably pay for the extra for that if we were to do it again. 3. The shade of grey looks slightly different to the photos, I still really like it but maybe get a fabric sample to be sure. One of the slats was cracked but Dreams sent a replacement straight away. We love the bed and are very happy with it.

I went into Dreams in Wimbeldon not really knowing what I was looking for. I was greeted by the most friendliest team. I was taking to the mattress testing area, once we had decided what best mattress would suit my needs I was then introduced to the sales team. She had endless knowledge when it comes to sleep and comfort and she did not push for me to buy the most expensive bed and mattress but rather what suited my needs. I tried out about 8 different mattresses and pillows. The team would so wonderful I honestly did not want to leave the store! I bought a new mattress topper and a duvet as well as memory foam pillows for my left side as I sleep on my side. The team were absolutely magnificent! I adore going to sleep every night because of Dreams. Thank you!

Bought in the sale and got a fantastic price, customer service team were exceptional as there was a large delay on my order hence 4 star instead of 5 and they soon resolved the problem offering a good will gesture. The bed itself is out of this world, the high headboard complements my bedroom perfectly with the added extra of the under bed storage which is made easy to lift with the gas lift. Assembling the bed took around 2 hours which due to size as its a king I didnt think was too bad, and the packaging was expensive, therefore supplied a supper bonfire. Definitely buy this bed you wont get better anywhere else also its work paying the additional cost which enables you to have cover for 8 years and with a 2 year old its well worth the extra pennies.

Choosing this bed was made easy for us by the sales advisor. He was very helpful and friendly. We were invited to use the sleep machine to get matched to the ideal mattress. We tried several and decided on the first mattress the salesman recommended (sorry I dont know his name) choosing a bed frame was a bit more work as I had in mind a rattan headboard but settled on an upholstered ottoman bed frame. We are so pleased with our new bed, the storage is huge and it is so comfortable and compliments my vintage decor. Delivery wasnt too long and dreams took my old mattress away. The delivery guys were friendly too. Weve had this bed for around three weeks now and we sleep so much better than ever!

Despite all the disruption with the pandemic I managed to place my order for my dreams bed and they delivered it with no issues they kept there promise customer service was on point with regular emails updating me at every stage of the process, I'm looking at getting a mattress from them as Benson's for bed let me down big style, they messed me about for months despite me contacting them a number of times they cancelled my order without notice at the last minute and then wouldnt correct the error and tried selling me the same mattress without my nhs discount putting the price back up at 200 pound more. So in comparison dreams saves the day defo go back to them.

I recently purchased this king size bed in the slate grey option, I had to wait a long time for delivery but it was totally worth the wait! Dreams came and delivered the bed on a Saturday, the delivery men were so helpful and respectful of my home. They contacted me the night before to tell me my two hour time slot and even called me in the morning to re-confirm. Once we unboxed the bed it took us around an hour to assemble, it is definitely a two man job as the head board is heavy!! It really does have the 'wow' factor, beautiful quality and we are getting so many compliments on the head board. Totally worth the money, buy, buy, buy if you haven't already!!

what is the maximum mattress weight the superking can lift? There must be a limit to what the pistons are capable of.
Answer: We do not have set weight limits. Bed frames are tested to 18 stone, however this doesn't mean it can only hold 18 stone across the whole surface area. 18 stone is tested on specific areas of the frame, meaning a weight higher than this would be fine as the weight would be distributed across the whole frame over just one specific area.Our only frames that would be limited at 18 stone are the range of adjustable beds. This ottoman should be fine with any mattress weight.Thank you.

Hi Dreams, does the ottoman base come in 2 separate parts/flat pack or in one large section? Is the headboard removable? Thanks in advance
Answer: The base of the bed comes in separate sections. For the Double size bed, the delivery package dimensions are as follows: Package 1: 194 x 15 x 72cmPackage 2: 165 x 26 x 138cmPackage 3: 198 x 16 x 38cmYou can check the Delivery section of the product page for different sized beds packages. The headboard will come in a separate section to the bed frame but will need to be attached to the bed as it is an integral part of the structure. Many thanks, Dreams

What size bed frame would fit a mattress that is 6ft7in length and 5ft6in width? Thanks
Answer: The most suitable bed frame size would be a super king which would accommodate a super king mattress measuring 6'0 x 6'8 - however this would be slightly bigger than your mattress so there could be some gaps on the sleeping area. A king bed frame accommodates a mattress measuring 5'0 x 6'8 and hence would not be big enough for your mattress.

Are the sprung slats better than the solid slats? Hence the price? Can I purchase the sprung slats to fit a bed that originally had solid?
Answer: Thank you for reaching out with your question. If you are looking for a more supportive base, the sprung slats would be a better option. You would not be able to do this for the Deacon, as the measurements for the slats are different, which means they cannot be swapped out. .

I was going to buy a king size mattress for the double ottoman bed as the measurement of the bed is 207cm length x 149cm wide and the mattress i have found is 150cm wide (1cm out) x 200cm long (7cm shorter) would this fit? Thanks
Answer: Unfortunately this would not fit. The footend width includes the small gap between the edge and the mattress, and the width of the side rail. the bed frames are designed to fit the equivalent size mattress. So a double Deacon would require a double mattress. Hope this helps, Dreams.

Can you use ANY mattress for this bed or does it take a special one? I currently have a Tempur mattress
Answer: You wouldn't be able to use any mattress with this frame, it would need to be suitable. Tempur mattresses are fine to use with this, or alternatively in the overview of the product there is a link to mattresses that are compatible.

Hi, is this double 4'6 or 147cm? As the standard size of a double is 135cm (4'6) which is too small for me but as the dimensions for this bed said 147cm I went for the double instead of the king but I'm concerned it is going to be too small.
Answer: The width dimension of 147cm includes the width of the side rails which makes the total width of this bed frame slightly larger than a double. The sleeping area, however, if a double is only able to accommodate a double mattress.

In regards to mattress, what thickness (for example, 25CM/27CM/30CM) would be best fitted for this bed?
Answer: There isn't a mattress depth that would be best suited as this depends on your personal preference. You would just need to bear in mind what the overall height would be once the mattress is on the base to see if this suits you.

Do you have any advice on how I can move the bed to clean/ decorate etc - extremely solid/ heavy
Answer: If you need to move the bed to decorate we would advise to dismantle the bed. You can follow in assembly instruction in reverse to be able to do this. The assembly instructions can be found on the product page on the website.Many thanks
