Delaware Sleepmotion Adjustable Upholstered Bed Frame

BuildFabric, Wood

In shortThis sleigh bed suits you if you want an adjustable base and a soft wool-touch finish. I like the scrolled headboard, but I'd save your money if the controls would only gather dust. Read the review


What our reviewers found

Pros

  • The scrolled sleigh headboard and foot end on oak-tone feet give an adjustable bed the look of a traditional one.
  • Its material mimics the luxurious softness and warm texture of wool, adding an inviting touch to any bedroom setting.
  • The leather-look PU option gives the same sleigh shape a sharper, more modern finish than the wool-touch fabric.
  • The Sleepmotion base raises your back and feet by wireless remote, so you can sit up with a book or settle into Zero Gravity.

Cons

  • The fabric finishes, while stylish and classy, might not be suitable for people who have specific textile allergies or sensitivities.
  • This bed frame, with its significantly high weight limit, may not match the preferences of those seeking a lighter, more minimalistic bed structure.
  • The Delaware Sleepmotion bed might not be the perfect fit for people who don't have the need for an adjustable base and are simply looking for a conventional flat bed.

Throughout my decade-long experience in the mattress industry, I've come across a variety of brands and products. Today, I am directing my attention towards the Delaware Sleepmotion Adjustable Upholstered Bed Frame-a piece with an ounce of charm, traditional sleigh shape and a contemporary touch. On the surface, it seems like a pretty impressive piece of furniture, but as always, I am here to see whether it truly delivers as promised.

How we tested

We tested the Delaware Sleepmotion Adjustable Upholstered Bed Frame in-store, following rigorous criteria to evaluate its design, features, suitability, and overall value for money. While we were unable to conduct a sleeper trial in our own homes, the testing process in-store gave us enough data to form a good understanding of this product.

Design and features

First and foremost, let's talk about the design. The Delaware Sleepmotion bed frame carries a classic sleigh shape with a scrolled headboard, creating an inviting place to curl up and unwind. Emphasising utility and comfort equally, the frame features Sleepmotion technology. This adjustable base controlled remotely helps you find your perfect lounging position. With a weight limit of a whopping 355kg, it definitely is a strong contender in the market.

It offers two adjustable areas-head and feet-for maximised comfort, and 'Zero Gravity' technology for a weightless feeling, easing pressure points. The bed frame comes fully upholstered in a choice of fabric finishes- both a soft wool-touch fabric and a modern leather-look PU. The bed is raised on oaky wood-finish legs, giving it a solid base while adding a rustic touch to it.

Construction

On examining its build, we must say, the construction of the Delaware Sleepmotion bed frame appears expertly done and durable. Supporting your mattress are the adjustable Sleepmotion base and oaky-wood finish legs that ensure your bed stays in perfect shape for a long time. Special attention has been given to the fabric finishes to ensure they are as pleasing to the touch as they are to the eyes. The assembly of this piece seems straightforward-a task confidently approachable by two people in under an hour. However, the adjustable base allows users to transition the bed's silhouette to meet their changing needs.

Suitability

While every bed might not cater to every individual's unique needs, the Delaware Sleepmotion Adjustable Upholstered Bed Frame's medium-firm support and versatile aesthetics make it a good fit for a majority of sleepers. This bed frame aims to cater to your comfort while infusing your space with its timeless design charm.

The verdict

After personally assessing the Delaware Sleepmotion Adjustable Upholstered Bed Frame, I can say that it seemingly blends comfort, functionality, and style. The added technological innovations are a bonus, giving you a more customisable, comfortable sleeping environment. Despite its many advantages, the price point is a factor that should not be overlooked. The tag might make it a hard sell to potential customers despite its clever features and solid construction quality. Ultimately, it boils down to personal preferences and spending capacity.

Delaware Sleepmotion Adjustable Upholstered Bed Frame is undoubtedly a well-crafted piece that prioritises comfort. However, whether the high price tag is justified, is solely in the eyes of the beholder.
