Why our sleep experts loved it

The Jakarta Faux Leather Low Rise Bed Frame is an affordable bed frame sold under the Dreams umbrella and available in a limited number of sizes. The unique selling point of the Jakarta is mainly its impressive price point which sees it priced lower than other competing products from other retailers.

Upholstered in a tidy deep brown faux leather with a small amount of padding to help define patterns and linings, this bed frame comes well reviewed from customers with over 700 reviews to date and a customer satisfaction pegged at a respectable 92%.

Sizes are somewhat limited with only single and double available at time of review. This is somewhat disappointing for those looking for a cost effective solution in a different size but there is plenty of alternate choice available through the retailer.

Positive reviews mention the styling being quite modern and suiting their bedrooms well. Others mention the quality to cost ratio being a strong benefit and reason for purchase. Finally the bed frame seems fairly well put together with numerous commentators talking about how strong and sturdy the frame is.

Negative reviews are rarer but we did find a few mentioning quality control. It seems that when there are a few issues with certain batches that have seen broken legs both on delivery and after build. This isn't the sort of thing you would typically want to hear about but given the ratio of positive customers to negative, these issues do seem somewhat sporadic.

Bought this frame for our guest room. Very nice looking frame and good value. Instructions said 1hr to put together. It took both myself and partner nearer 2-2.5 hours. As it is so heavily discounted i'd recommend paying the extra 40 for the assembly to save yourself a lot of time. The frame does feel quite flimsy in comparison to the frame I have in my main bedroom (also from dreams) as it is a solid wood frame. The Jakarta frame feels like it could of been more sturdy if the frames going down the side of the bed were made as one long segment on each side instead of 4 panels each side. The 4 panels split in pairs, of which are connected by nuts/bolts/screws and 2 metal bars. The headboard has a very nice finish as well, but it too feels flimsy, as if the faux leather finish is simply wrapped around a frame rather than a solid headboard. If not careful, I can easily see rips/punctures appearing in the future if your'e heavy handed with it. The slats are all individual and must have the plastic fittings manually attached, unlike other dreams frames where they come pre-assembled as more of a 'ladder'. This is also quite time consuming and the plastic fittings feel quite flimsy as well. To Sum up: Tricky assembly. definitely not 1 hour for most people - I would recommend the assembly option fee. Bed frame feels quite flimsy/cheap and lightweight wood used. Would be perfect for a spare/guest room, one which is not used on a nightly basis as it looks very appealing, anything more regular it seems like it would damage easy. For potentially less than 100, you cannot beat the good value. 3.5 out of 5

Whilst the frame has a nice look it isn't the best build quality. The metal frame is very soft steel. When tightening the bolts by hand the frame would start to deform. Not a great sign for longevity of the bolts staying tight holding the frame solid. The sides of the frame are in 2 pieces so there is a join in the centre at each side of the bed. Again not a great sign for longevity. The wood base has been filled with bolt thread inserts for you to connect the metal frame. I found some of these either not insert straight or slightly out of position which meant I had to open up the holes in the metal frame to line up with the thread inserts. I then had to double washer the holes on the metal frame as the bolts were not straight. The main leg support for the head and foot boards need to be screwed in with four self tapping screws on each. This isn't a bad thing but I would make sure the bed frame is lifted if being moved rather than pulling across a floor as it wouldn't take much to pull those screws out giving you a set of wobbly legs. The slates are the standard curved slates with plastic fittings. Its good enough for a guest room with temporary use but if you are looking for a master room bed frame keep shopping.

I bought the double Jakarta Bed Frame, leather easy to clean and looks great and stylish. Great bed, got in a sale. I like the integrated headboard and large stiching.. Mainly, let down by poor services for bed assembly and recycle services which I paid extra for. I did not get any instructions I had to dismantle the old bed as I had paid for 2 separate services I assumed it was included as I did not get clear instructions. Driver refused to assemble and recycle the old bed, needed to be dismantled. It was only a steel frame bed, it was collapsing help together by belts. He left the new bed in the hallway. I would have done it but I have back problems and cannot lift heavy things. That's why we bought the addional services. So after 3 days we found another handyman to dismantle old bed, fix new bed and recycle the old bed. Finally happy to use the bed, very dissapointed with the driver and additional services, so beware.

Overall: Great frame, it looks nice and simple with a headboard that adds a little flavor. i've never had sprung slats, i can safely say it's changed my life. the frame is only slightly raised from the floor, so don't think about storing any boxes down there. however all 3 of my cats have decided to make a new home under there. Assembly: it's definitely a 2 person job and requires at least an hour. There is some manual labor involved with the legs of the bed, you can use a manual screw driver but an electric one will save you any hand discomfort after gripping a screw driver for too long. Price: the frame was on sale when i purchased it, but still its definitely worth the full price (However i had 4 pillows thrown in so that obviously tipped the scales of what frame i was going to get)

I bought this bed about a month ago and due to the COVID-19 restrictions my partner set it up. He was able to do it alone and said that the instructions were very clear and easy to follow. It did come with one particular part broken but when I informed Dreams they explained that they would fix this as soon as the restrictions lifted which is great. Overall we're really happy with the bed, it looks great and is neutral so goes well in most rooms. Our only issue (and it isn't a serious issue) is that it doesn't feel 100% sturdy, it rocks a bit when we both move but my OH is of a heavier build and it could be due to the broken piece that is now missing as this piece adds support to the middle of the bed. However very happy overall, great bed for the price.

We bought a Dreams double mattress for our guest bedroom and our only regret is we didn't buy a dreams mattress for our own master bedroom. Tragic mistake! Anyway, the Spring Coil double Dreams mattress is of top quality and offers excellent comfort. No movement when asleep on it. Their delivery was incredibly professional. They worse Dreams shirts and sent two men who removed their outside shoes and put on some other footwear to take the mattress upto its designated room. After we took it out of it's box, we left it to breathe for 48 hours. There was no smell anyway so that was one less thing to worry about. It also had a clearly labelled side to indicate the sleeping side. Our first sleep indeed was a dream come true.

Puchased Single size whilst on offer for my 18 year old sons room. Looks really nice when finished, but do allow about 3 hours to build it properly. One corner bracket did not fit no matter where or how you placed it.....the best way to overcome this is to use a metal file & file out the hole big enough to fit the relevant bolts (see other peoples reviews) Always a bit concerned of these cheaper priced beds, but for the money so far so good. (Let's see what a year or two holds for longevity though.) Unfortunately, when you sit on the end of the bed, the last few slats have already started to collapes inwards, poor quality materials I think. (Placed a piece of ply over to address this)

I bought this about a month ago, and the bed was easy to set put together. It took two of us to put the bed up, but you could easily do it yourself given enough patience. All of the cuts lines up for the screws and went together nicely. The instruction manual was a bit confusing as it is the single and double model together, but after reading though it was easy to understand. The only complaint would be the feet of the bed had no pilot holes, so I had to screw into solid wood which was tedious. It probably took longer to screw the feet into the wood than putting the rest of the bed together. A design to have the holes already pre drilled would make this a perfect bed.

Wanted a firm mattress as were tested on the machine and thats what they suggested for us. We found the combination mattress was much less bouncy than the spring ones. After using it a month now it is a very comfortable in general. Only complaint would be that the edges of the bed does cave in a bit which reduces the size of the bed that can supoort your weight. This is only an issue for us as I tend to need a lot of space to sleep. But for one person or two average sized people it would be absolutely fine. Its still not a big deal and considering the price this is a steal. Cant really recommend spending any more than this unless you can really afford it.

I purchased Jakarta bed frame when an offer was on. The delivery arrived on time in the allocated time window. Delivery staff were polite and meticulous when moving the flat pack box into the house. Appropriate face masks were put on to ensure safety of customers and staff. In addition, they also ensured the customer was happy with everything before leaving. I found the instruction manual was easy to follow and step-by-step method was there to facilitate the assembly of bed frame. In general, I think the purchase was affordable and the quality was excellent to my expectation. There is nothing I can find going wrong with it. Thanks very much, Dreams!

I'd looked around other places for beds, and nothing in this price range came close to matching this for style and build. Really lovely bed, feels very sturdy. Slats are great quality, which is always something I worry about. Took a bit of work to setup, would definitely benefit to have a couple of people there to do it. Had to screw the legs into the head and foot boards, which was a little daunting at first, and fitting the frame together by myself was awkward, but doable. Also, make sure you're building it during the day as the slats needed hammered into place, which was very noisy!

I purchased this bed frame a month ago for my teenage son's. We both spent approximately two hours to complete the build as it has the most number of component parts I have ever seen for a bed frame. Make sure you lay everything out on a wide surface to visualise how it will look. Also ensure you attach the metal cross supports correctly as this does make the frame more sturdy. it was also not clear about the plastic holders for the wooden slats, make sure you put the central double ended ones in first! Otherwise, once constructed it is a sturdy bed, but I dread taking it apart again!

NeilP81

Can you confirm the dimensions are H98cm x W99cm x L207cm? is the width correct?

If you use the drop down within the dimensions tab, you can change your size to double and this will show you the correct dimensions.Thank you for your question.

Tilly 63

Does this single frame hold any single mattress from your range please as its going to be for a toddlers bed

Answer: Yes this single frame will hold any standard single mattress that measures 90 x 190cm. Please bear in mind that some of the children's mattresses are a euro single size that measure 90 x 200cm - this would not be suitable for use with the Jakarta bed frame.

Could you advise how exactly the legs are attached? They will not attach with screws. Otherwise I will have to return

Answer: The legs should be attached with screws, I apologise you are experiencing some issues with this. Please contact the Customer Service tam and they will be able to assist further with this.

BB84

Does the frame need the legs to be attached? I am looking to put the bed directly onto the floor so it can be lower to the ground.

Answer: The legs would need to be attached to the bedframe to allow for correct support of the frame and also to allow for air flow through the mattress as part of care and maintenance.

Low Foot End

A low foot end frame has a drop off at the end of the bed meaning that the mattress is visible from this position and your legs can freely stick out should they need to. Low foot ends are the most common frame type and give more focus toward the head end/headboard while giving a greater sense of space.

Sprung slats

Sprung slats are typically made from a flexible beech wood and are curved in design slightly to help give an amount of flex. These slats generally have more bounce and are made of a better quality with improved spacing when compared to traditional wooden slats.

Stitching detailed headboard

Some bed frames come without headboard to allow you to appropriately accessorise and provide further customisation to your sleep space, however, in this instance you get the entire package, featuring a luxurious and padded upholstered fabric headboard.

Build time: 2 people | 1 hour

This is the amount of time and the people required to conduct the build process efficiently. While you may manage yourself, if it best to get the help of someone else where possible.
