Tests & Verdict

Here we collect tests, guides and product reviews so that you can create a picture of what others think about the product. This analysis and review is based on my experience and 12+ years of industry insight.

With over 500 reviews and an impressive 94% satisfaction, it is clear to see that this is a great bed frame. Also being one of the best selling frames on offer from this retailer, it's hard to find too much to complain about. The price is more than reasonable and the styling proves popular regardless of the decor of your existing room set up.

There is a small fraction of negative reviews however, they can largely be ignored. Almost every poor review (of which were still a tiny fraction against positive), was around delivery lead time at the peak of the covid pandemic. Unfortunately due to increased demand and soaring costs of freight, many items had extended deadlines for which consumers decided to critique. With the opening back up of the country these sort of problems have subsided, what's more, the retailer now provides delivery times in advance to help ensure that customers understand what sort of delays are around their purchase.

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.

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.

On the deacon it states the height of headboard, but what additional width would you need to have?

Answer: The width of the head end changes in accordance to the size of the bed purchased. If you purchase a King Size with a width of 173cm, you will receive the frame with the head end to match.Thank you for your question.Kind Regards,Robin

Does this ottoman base have an enclosed bottom? meaning the compartment has a floor, raising your stored items off the ground? If so, what is the depth of this compartment?

Answer: The Deacon bed frame has solid base panels as the floor of the ottoman and therefore the items you store here will be raised off of the floor. The depth of the storage area is 28cm.

Does a standard UK King Size mattress fit this ottoman?

Answer: Yes, the Deacon is a standard UK bed frame - simply choose the size of bed frame you require from the menu on the Deacon product page. A standard UK King size mattress will fit the King Size Deacon bed. Hope this helps.

Hi can the headboard on this be removed or can the headboard be changed?

Answer: The head-end is an integral part of this bed frame. If you wish to have a different headboard, we recommend purchasing a divan base and a headboard of your choice.

Is this bed in dark Grey actually Grey or navy blue as described in many of the reviews?

Answer: The fabric of the bed is grey. However as the pile of the fabric is a velvet finish the tone of the colour can vary slightly in different lights and rooms.
