Hopkins Fabric Upholstered Ottoman Bed Frame

THE GOOD: - Amazing build quality, feels very sturdy! - Incredible storage space. - Looks the part. Certainly looks more expensive than it is, even at this price point. I absolutely love this bed! Such a great purchase. I was looking to replace my existing cheap and creaky Ottoman with something more substantial. Browsing online I came across a few Ottoman's in a Dreams promotion so head down to the store to see them in person. This item wasn't in the promotion, but the quality of it vs. the others immediately surprised me and I went over budget to pay for it. The Oatmeal colour was lovely but given I have a darker carpet I wanted a darker colour but was worried the Slate would be too dark. Store colleagues have swatches for their bed frames so it's worth popping into store if you're not sure. The build quality of this bed is really really good. You really do get what you pay for and given you spend so much of your life in bed, it's worth the extra. The arms which hold the bed base and mattress are made from a solid metal. None of this cheap aluminium stuff you'd find at cheaper price points. The storage area is huge! It utilises 4 base boards sat on top of a cross-beam. The space inside is a little less than Dreams claim in the dimensions, but will happily fit plastic storage boxes up to 42 litre capacity (from places like B&M). After all that there's even then some room beneath the bed to slide a few things under it too. The beds component parts came in 5 boxes and are quite heavy so you'll probably need two adults to put this together (King size). It took us about 2 hours to construct it. There's certainly plenty of screws etc so you can be sure it'll be sturdy. Given COVID etc there was quite a wait on this and so I ordered it and patiently waited the 3 and a bit weeks for delivery. The delivery experience was good, with updates by text and email and a phone call on the day. I live on the first floor and the team were happy to bring the items in to the flat for me which really helped. My first nights sleep on this bed was a breath of fresh air vs the old frame. I could tell the difference immediately. In my opinion a solid base such as this or a divan is a much better option versus a slatted base. A platform base doesn't tend to wear as much on one side - especially if you're a single person or have a heavier sleeper on one side of the bed vs the other. THE BAD: The assembly instructions for this bed say you need 4 metal plates to join the two base boards together when in actual fact there is only enough screw holes on the bottom for 2 plates. The instructions are wrong here and had us hunting through all the boxes for a while before we figured that out. Perhaps they need updating Dreams? Secondly, the two base boards were actually missing 8 screw holes on the underside where the little plates should go. These plates basically keep the two based boards attached at the join. While there were markings where the screws should go, it was as if the manufacturer forgot to drill them. Fortunately this didn't impact the frame to the point I couldn't sleep on it but I still wanted to get it resolved. I emailed Dreams and after a few days had no response. Chasing this up by calling customer services, the young lady on the phone was very apologetic and helpful, although I often struggled to hear her through the background noise of her home working environment which she didn't seem too bothered by. Unfortunately, the resolution is where Dreams let me down. I now have to wait 3 and a bit weeks to get the matter resolved. Dreams are ordering two replacement base boards from the manufacturer which is going to take another 3 weeks. Come on! Poor show. The reason this annoys me so much is the fact that if it had been a major issue with the bed I'd have been sleeping on the floor for those 3 weeks. That'd have been less than ideal if I was a vulnerable person or something?! I've already waited 3 weeks for this bed and - in actual fact - all it needs is 8 pilot holes screwing into the bed to get the screws to grip the wood. I feel the current boards will simply be scrapped and go to landfill after this when they're perfectly fine. I said I was happy to drill those in, but I didn't want to void the warranty. Sadly Dreams wouldn't approve that, which I suppose is understandable. SUMMARY: Amazing bed, 100% recommend. Amazing built quality. You'll sleep well. Hopefully yours will be fully complete and you'll have no issues.

NEGATIVES; Bed has a strong hessian material type smell to it. I have to spray it daily and leave the windows open to air it. It has been two weeks and it is better but you can still smell it. Headboard isn't aligned properly so you can see the metal inside at the top a little just before the actual edge of headboard (the middle panel that is cushioned was not put in correctly) but as the headboard is one piece you can not fix yourself it's just luck of the draw that ours was slap dash in the factory I guess. Very hard to close, hopefully will loosen with time. I have only given this bed 2 stars for quality and value as our headboard is not correctly made and the bed smells. However I have opted to chose yes on recommending to a friend as if you can put up with spraying it daily and airing out the room the look and function of the bed is worth it I think (we just got unlucky with the headboard it seems) POSITIVES; Lovely design of bed and great colour, I love the fact the feet are integral and not pine wood effect like a lot of other ottoman beds! A nice neutral colour allowing us to chose any paint for the walls really. Sturdy and comfortable frame with smooth lift up. Plenty of storage space. We opted to pay extra to have it put together and they arrived and left within 30 mins and didn't leave behind any mess and were really nice. Bed was delivered within 7 days of ordering and we were kept informed with emails and the delivery team called on the day when we were on their way to us.

Nice looking bed with storage space. We were looking around for a bed & this was the first store we looked in. Initially told on enquiring about the costs in the shop that delivery would be 1st Nov and that if we bought on that day, they'd do a deal. A few hours later, having looked in a couple of stores & on returning home, we decided to go with that bed but as the store was an 8-10 mile round trip, we decided to phone in the order. 1st difference was that the delivery date went from 1st to 25th November. The deal was 20 off if we had their guys build it for us ie 40 instead of 60. We were moving and agreed to that but when we came to pay, by card, they said we couldn't have the bed delivered to our new address as it was different to our billing address, unless we paid in the store, not over the phone. Which also meant they couldn't build it for us after all! The fact that we were paying the full amount and they would have the money long before we actually received the bed didn't seem to matter. We've bought a lot of things on-line and over the phone and never come across this before. Word of warning if you buy this bed. The headboard is actally part of the base constrution and therefore a solid piece. Get the dimensions before you buy, especially if you have closed in and/or narrow stairs. Took a couple of hours to build it ourselves.

Bought this Ottoman bed frame in kingsize, upholstered in oatmeal fabric, several weeks ago. I used to have a 4 drawer bed frame but drawers could be difficult to open/close, and bedside cupboards needing moving to access 2 of them. I wanted the extra storage & easy access that an ottoman claims to provide. I also wanted a comfortable padded headboard for sitting up against. I was worried that even with gas lift, the kingsize mattress would be heavy to manoever. It looks good, and the headboard is comfortable to lean against, being tall and padded. The oatmeal fabric is smart, natural & neutral in appearance. The storage space is much bigger & more versatile than a 4 drawer divan. Opening the ottoman does take two hands and a bit of strength. I was told that they tend to get easier with use? But mine is a king size, so the a single would be very much lighter. Closing the bed by pushing it down takes very little strength. Someone who was very short, say only 5 foot, could find it a little high to put strength behind when reaching up to close it. The bedding all stays in position when opening/closing the ottoman. I paid for it to be delivered and built for me, to ensure it was done correctly, especially with the gas lift feature. Apparently the gas lifts are variable, and may fail sometimes and have a limited life. But they can be replaced.

Lovely quality bed, easily put together by my husband. One important thing to note is to not panic when the hydraulic arms appear to be stuck solid, they are not broken! You cannot push these down without full bed assembly & with the mattress in position on top for added weight! The bed frame is higher than we've had before, with a quality mattress with topper added on, it becomes very high, my feet over the edge are nowhere near touching the floor, neither are my husbands, so do be aware of this. The ottoman is spacious but is heavy to lift open to access the storage area. The loops to pull closed the ottoman are a bit of a stretch if you aren't overly, if you dont have the strength that you used to, a bad back, or have trouble raising your arms, this may not be the bed for you. Do go to a store to try the bed first where the very helpful sales staff will assist you. The electric lift version has been stopped now so there's only this manual version. Overall we are very happy with our purchase, the bed looks very smart. We no longer have lots of storage boxes that we had visible under our previous bedstead showing as they are hidden inside this beds storage.

I bought this around a month ago, and ever since the bed has been assembled I have left it or found it very hard to leave it . The bed frame itself does take up quite a bit of room; however, it makes up for it with the enormous amount of storage underneath. The assembly was easier than I anticipated, still took a couple of hours as any bed would, I did hurt my back putting the ottoman fixing on as you have to get inside the bed however, one sleep on the bed and mattress sorted that out. The only disappointment was that I thought the ottoman could be lifted from the side but unfortunately not, but having the ottoman lift from the front is better and easier in my opinion. It is an extremely strong and well made bed, so much better than the slats that usually come with these sorts of beds. I opted for the slate colour and the colour is perfect for my room. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to buy a double or king size bed!

I've had this bed delivered just 3 months ago (after much deliberation) and it is one of the best investments i've made. The king size bed is just the size I needed for the limited space that I had and the storage below is amazing! The measurements were accurate which meant that I had managed to fit the bed in the command position I'd wanted. It's high, strong and presence very dominating- one couldnt move the bed by themselves and the lift takes a little getting used to with a heavy mattress. I also bought a Serenity mattress from Dreams and it fits well. Together it makes a great feature in my bedroom. I have had so many compliments from on-lookers which has certainly validated my awesome decision over and over. I'm absolutely thrilled with the purchase. Delivery was swift and I personally commend cheerful Simon and Mark who constructed the bed frame in no-time and cleaned up well afterwards. Thanks for making my dream come true.

I purchased the Hopkins king size ottoman frame for my parents to be delivered on the 20th of December 2019 and the service was amazing. The Dreams delivery team were extremely friendly and engaged in general conversation with me which I loved. I paid for the assembly of the product and they ensured they wore their protective footwear when coming into my house. They assembled the frame within 20 minutes which I found unbelievable! And by looking at the frame it is worth while purchasing the assembly so you can get on with your day and let the experts do it as it is more complicated than you may think. They disposed of the old frame as well and made sure they took it out carefully to prevent any damage within the house. The frame itself is extremely neat and tidy with amazing storage space! The delivery team done an amazing job as the frame is even better than I thought. 10 out of 10!

Me and my partner thought we would invest in a platform divan style ottoman bed. It has been the best decision we have ever made about our home furnishings. We love the fact that not only do we get the best night sleep we have ever had but when we purchase anything new (as we have children) we look around our house to find space to home things, we can actually put so many items under our bed its incredible. Opening the bed up is really easy, its almost like opening s hatch to a basement its so deep. We love the fact it flows with our decor and is the center piece in the bedroom, our two year old daughter runs into us in the morning ready to have a cuddle with me and my partner every day. I honestly dont know what we would do without this bed and the value for money is second to none. Thank you Dreams!

Had the bed around a month now and it's fantastic. No creaking, no shifting, no issues at all. The headboard is sturdy for those fellow sit-up-in-bed-with-a-cup-of-tea people, the Ottoman mechanism is amazing. The gas lift makes it super easy although even with a heavy memory foam mattress, it's a bit stiff to get back down, even for a 20 stone man like me. But as with all gas mechanisms, time will help that that. I'd suggest paying extra for it to be assemble if you can, I didn't and though we got there, it was laborious and tiring. Get 2 strong people to help as its very heavy. My only gripe is that the floor of the ottoman does leave you with less room for things, but you could take this out and place stuff directly on the floor underneath. Overall its an amazing bed. Best one i've ever had.

The Hopkins bed was ordered for 31 March and arrived on time. Because of the coronavirus it could not be assembled by the delivery men so I got out my trusty electric screwdriver and assembled it myself very easily-there were a couple of points in the instructions which were a little ambiguous but generally the instructions werewell above average. The fabric covering is extremely good quality as is the padded headboard which is higher than most beds and all the better for it. The mattress I ordered it was not delivered because the hypnos factory that manufactured it had closed because of the coronavirus. I phoned Dreams and they appreciated my situation and have supplied me with an interim mattress until the original one can be assembled and delivered. All in all A very good service

We purchased the Hopkins Ottoman King Size Bed with mattress in the Boxing Day Sale with extra 20% off... It was a great bargain. My husband and l did a lot of research on line and in store before finally settling with the Hopkins bed. We loved everything about it the size, material, headboard, space underneath and the colour which we felt would truly match well and compliment our newly classy decorated grey and white bedroom. We found the services from store (Assistant Manager Deryck) to delivery (Great communication), to building our new bed (Friendly & professional) to be excellent. We slept on our new Hopkins King size ottoman bed last night and had an amazingly good night sleep. Thank you Dreams for making our dreams come through with this quality, cosy, elegant, extravagant bed.
