Why our sleep experts loved it

The Holmes Upholstered Ottoman Bed Frame is a stylish and practical addition to any bedroom. The scrolled headboard and footboard, along with the velvety finish and Chesterfield-style button quilting, give it a luxurious and opulent appearance. The blue colour is particularly striking and would complement jewel-toned interiors or add a pop of colour to a neutral room.

One of the standout features of this bed frame is the ottoman storage space underneath the sprung slats. With an 18cm depth, it provides ample space to store away belongings and keep the bedroom clutter-free. The sprung slats also help to support the mattress, providing good airflow and pressure point relief for a comfortable night's sleep.

Consumers who have purchased the Holmes bed frame have generally been very satisfied with their purchase. Many have noted that the bed looks even better in person than it does in pictures, and that the button detail is beautiful. The storage space under the bed has also been praised, with some customers noting that it is roomy enough to store extra shoes and coats. The velvet material has also been widely admired for its softness and luxury appearance.

On the downside, a few customers have reported issues with the bed frame, such as it creaking or making noise when moving around on it. Some have also had issues with the hydraulics used to lift up the bed to access the storage space. However, these issues appear to be in the minority, with most customers reporting that the bed is sturdy and well-made.

Overall, the Holmes Upholstered Ottoman Bed Frame appears to be a popular choice among consumers, with many praising its stylish design, comfortable sleep experience, and practical storage space.

I cannot express how solid the build of this bed frame is - very subtle differences to other beds on the market that make a huge difference. The bed itself is designed for storage, but this can also be considered to be a well designed re-enforced sturdy frame for a super king mattress even if you do not need the storage. I can recommend you seriously consider this over a Devan bed that can be much more expensive, simply because there are x3 areas of bed slats, smaller and consolidated, with two strong bars running down the bed. This not only strengthens the bed overall, but prevents a "kings peak" in the middle of a large mattress - this bed solves this problem by creating a strong even surface for your mattress, so you do not get any dips but you do get the comfort "give" of a slat that is bowed upwards, so you can lean into this for greater comfort. I am so impressed with this bed that I wish I bought something like this years ago. It's high up, and has plenty of space around the mattress to make changing sheets so easy, in like seconds. Delivery team were good, they brought it upstairs and placed everything where I asked. The bed is not something that can be made in a few hours - it does requires time and patience, so if buildings things is something you are not confident in doing, or just do not like the time consuming part of it, you may be best to pay someone to make it for you.

I have been eyeing this bed since it as advertised on Dreams but, life got in the way their was always something else that took priority. Anyway my actual bed broke and I noticed that the Holmes bed no longer stocked the double I went into dreams and asked a customer advisor and he advised me that the bed was going to be no longer available. I was devastated and later that evening I bit the bullet and ordered the next size up a king! This bed is fit for a king! Its gorgeous! It came very well packaged it was easy to put together! It is large and roomy, the quality off the frame is sturdy, the material is good quality. The ottoman is very generous. The people that have seen the bed have been nothing but complimentary. Im so happy with my purchase but slightly sad that it took me so long to purchase.

Absolutely incredible experience! We ordered during the Covid crisis and I was a little worried about the delivery time. However I was contacted by dreams and was able to book a slot that was acceptable to us both, the delivery was seamless I was emailed to give me the date of arrival and the driver called me once on his way. I was met with smiles and at socially distanced delivery driver who was happy to take the bed to our chosen room (which I declined due to the current pandemic) the bed came packaged really well all of the instructions were easy to follow and was built within a couple of hours. We were also sent free pillows (which came via the Royal Mail a few days later) definitely will be a returning customer! Highly recommend

Excellent stunning beautiful bed strong and sturdy and a very smooth and soft fabric. The colour is stunning and i bought this without seeing it. Its everything i imagined it to be and more. We fitted the bed ourselves and it was fairly easy with the easy instructions given to follow. Due to covid the bed was delivered no further then my hallway but little can be said about that. I will say closing the gas lift ottoman is a bit of a muscle work job. But it could be due to it being so new and in need of regular use to loosen it up. All in all super pleased with my stunning bed highly recommend!

Beautifully made, classy and superb quality with a very strong sturdy framework for the plus size humans. Great storage space, perfect as I have stored items into underbed storage boxes within the ottoman and still space between them and base of bed. The end of the bed is raised higher than the mattress so you can see all of the beds greatness and feels cosier and secure. With a pure cotton bed spread, cosy lush throw and plumped up overfilled pillows to add a further luxury and a perfect light sleep at any time of the day/night. Worth every penny!

Firstly the delivery team were great and gave us advice on assembling the bed as we decided to just do it ourselves. Between my partner and I it took about an hour and a half to put together entirely which was fine. The bed feels super solid and well made, the hydraulic lift system is a little stiff and heavy, but being brand new this is to be expected. The bed seems to be rather large in the room despite our measuring the space. The finish of the velvet is good and there were no flaws or issues with our bed. Overall very happy.

The first delivery had a faulty frame, ill fitting base and the texture of the frame was all wrong. My delivery driver and installer assured me that he would take the issues up with the company on my behalf. Two weeks later I received another delivery which was fitted by the same installer. The product is perfect every bolt fits into place and the texture of the fabric feels luxurious. Thanks so much to the fitting team on both days and to dreams for rectifying the problem straight away. Great job guys.

Great quilty bed with some handu storage. Bed finish looks and feels excellent, the colour is a little darker than appears on the website. For anyone getting the super king as we did be wary the bed comes in 3 large boxes that are heavy, the heaviest was around 48kg. Building instructions were simple and you two people an hour to build. Reason for 4 stars was delivery, wouldn't deliver to new build property so i was left to carry and then manipulate up stairs to bedroom.

Dreams totally lived up to expectation with this purchase. Super stylish, comfortable with great storage. We were really impressed with the time spent by showroom staff to support us in choosing the right options. Installation was well worth the additional 60 as there was difficulty getting the super king frame into our new house, but the two technicians assembling dealt with this with ease. We would thoroughly recommend to others!

I was so impressed with Dreams customer service and the bed itself. I paid extra to have the bed put together and the guys doing it couldn't have done a better job. There is so much room inside the Ottoman. I've been able to fit twice as much in as I did previously in my old drawer divan. The quality of the bed is really high. I would say it's the best bed I have purchased.

I adore this bed! Which is a relief as I had been eyeing it up for a while but struggled to justify the cost....however there was 200 off in the sale so I ordered it. The bed is very sturdy, it feels well made, the velvet is really soft and the colour is stunning. I paid to have it assembled which only took them 30 minutes.
