How we tested
We took the Hemingway Upholstered Ottoman Bed Frame for a little test-drive in our local Bensons for Beds store. Delving deep into every detail, we employed a series of tests to examine the bed’s quality, comfort, stability, and storage utility in equal measure. We sat, laid, and lounged on it to truly understand the support and comfort level the bed offered. We also inspected the bed's storage utility firsthand, lifting the base to study the spacious underbed storage.
Design and features
The Hemingway Upholstered Ottoman Bed Frame boasts superior design and features that set it apart. Handcrafted in the UK exclusively for Bensons for Beds, it's available in four delightful velvet fabric colours to suit varied bedroom themes. The standout design element - the fan-styled vertical lined headboard adds an air of sophistication, while the luxurious velvet fabric does double duty providing a sleek look and an easy-care, stain-resistant finish. Sporting solid walnut effect wooden feet with brass caps, the craftsmanship inherent in the Hemingway bed frame is undeniable. Plus, it provides three different sizes to choose from making it adaptable to your specific space requirement.
Construction
What truly distinguishes the Hemingway Upholstered Ottoman Bed Frame is its construction. The bed frame features a carefully designed sprung slatted base that provides a unique level of support by responding to your body shape, helping relieve pressure points while extending your mattress's lifespan. Furthermore, the base aids in ventilation, ensuring a comfortable sleep environment. But beyond just comfort and support, it's the storage solution that pushes the boundaries of what a bed can offer - the full ottoman storage space beneath the bed, easily accessible by lifting the base, is a true game-changer for keeping your room clutter-free.

The Hemingway Upholstered Ottoman Bed Frame is a versatile piece that suits a range of needs and preferences. Whether you're looking for a plush, comfortable bed to get a good night’s sleep or a statement piece that elevates your bedroom’s aesthetic, this bed hits the mark. If space constraints are a concern, the additional storage feature is highly beneficial. In terms of fabric care, the stain-resistant finish means it's perfect for everyday use and would fit seamlessly into the rhythm of your life.
