Tests & Verdict

Here we collect tests, guides and product reviews so that you can create a picture of what others think about the product. This analysis and review is based on my experience and 12+ years of industry insight.

Velvet is in this year, it looks great and will be a focal point of any room.

Well reviewed, sturdy and easy to put together.

Mid range price point but upper quality tier.

Short lead time makes it one of the faster delivery items in the lineup.

Limited sizes limit those with smaller rooms from being able to take advantage.

Colors look great but are limited to two different variants right now with no blues or greens available.

Light wood legs fit most modern room designs but might not suit those with dark mahogany or other woods in their existing room.

Why our sleep experts loved it

Introducing one of the top performers in the bed frame segment, the Knox Velvet Finish Bed Frame. This bed frame has a lot to like, featuring a velvet finish that is on point for the year in a variety of sizes to suit. Sold exclusively through the Dreams retailer and with many happy product reviews, it's easy to see why consumers love the product.

Featuring light wooden feet and sprung slats, there's more than enough storage space beneath the bed frame, allowing for an amount of extra sheeting, pillows and whatnot to not clog up the rest of the room, allowing for an open and airy experience. The sprung slats are of high quality, being the preferred slat type used in high quality bed frames. Sprung slats rebound and offer additional tension within the mattress, potentially increasing the firmness of the mattress slightly.

The headboard stands out on its own as a feature point, thanks to its winged styling and larger than average size pair well together, offering a unique and elegant look in any bedroom. The exterior velvet fabric really looks the part and the soft palette chosen works well in both modern and traditional rooms.

Reviews for the product are good and while the price point positions it fairly mid-range, the customers feedback suggests that they particularly enjoy the high quality of the product, outperforming its modest price and becoming a feature of their bedroom. Other positive reviews mention the ease of assembly, making for a pain free DIY build that can be handled with ease.

Purchased this bed frame in view of the sale (solid slats, double) and I am a pink colour lover. From the photos it looks like it's more of a shrimp/ coral shade of pink so I thought I will like it. I know there is a disclaimer that the shades of this fabric look different depending on your bedroom's lighting but still I do think the photos don't really accurately reflect what I have got in real life. The pink in real life is baby pink/ pale pink. If you are going for the darker shrimp/ rosy pink colour I think you will be slightly disappointed. The photos other buyers have taken in the review section seems to be even more accurate than the official photos at some point. However, I still feel like this kind of pale pink is what would accept and like. It gives off a more childish/ younger vibe than what I would expect - a more mature, feminine kind of pink, but all in all I am 95% satisfied with the bed's quality and colour. The velvet fabric looks expensive and is of good quality and I really like that it makes a statement furniture in the bedroom. Everyone says it looks good so I am happy with the purchase, esp. at a discounted price point. If it is in its original price I probably won't buy it. Also a minor thing about the assembly instructions: this is the first bed that I ever assembled myself and I struggled in assembling the solid slats. It would be great if the instructions are a bit clearer. In view of the good experience this time I will definitely consider coming back to Dreams for a mattress purchase!

I bought this for my daughter's bedroom and it is perfect. The polish velvet feel makes the bed feel really luxurious. The colour is exactly what I expected and so is the perfect match for her room. The head board is perfect for sitting up in bed to read to her at night...really comfy. Thinking of getting the king size for our room. Only downside is the clearance from the floor which makes any under bed storage difficult (standard storage boxes don't fit). It is still a beautiful bed. Delivery guys were good and put up the bed really quickly. There were a couple of dirt marks on the edges of the frame which I think occurred during delivery, but quickly wiped away with a wet wipe. All in all...very satisfied with the purchase. Good value.

Ordered this Bed Frame in Kingsize Pink. Looks stunning and feels very luxurious. I took a gamble and ordered this bed online without viewing it in store and it looks even better than the pictures on the website. Delivered within a week and the delivery guys were very friendly and assembled the bed with no problems. They put shoe protectors on as soon as they stepped through the front door without having to ask, which was great as I have new carpets. Highly recommend this bed 10/10. Only regret is that two days after I placed my order it was on the T.V. advertised in the Black Friday sale as 100 off. But still deserves 5 stars as Im very happy with my purchase and feel its worth every penny.

Got this beautiful bed delivered in Grey, treated myself to a King size one. The bed looked just as good as I thought, I went to see one before I brought this one in the store so I knew what to expect!! I advise everyone that is looking to get one in grey to go to the shop as the grey looks very different in person than in pictures!! But it is a lovely colour. The sprung slats feel amazing!! I cant thank Tina from the Milton Keynes store enough as well as Matt and Pete the ones that delivered it to me today!! The delivery went very quickly and smoothly. The sprung slats add a very nice touch to the bed-the bed is squeak proof which is a must!!!

Im really glad I made this purchase. The delivery was on time and as expected, the workers were able to fit my bed together in about 15 minutes and were very friendly. The bed itself is very sturdy, I previously had a metal bed with regular slabs which after a while became a little unstable and squeaky. Its refreshing to have a bed that makes no sounds and does not move around. It fits the decor of my bedroom perfectly and is just as it looks on the website...its a little lower than I thought it would be but still very comfortable to sleep on. Would highly recommend for the customer service alone but also for the quality of the product.

Very happy with the received product. We ordered online without seeing the bed in person but the pictures and video do it justice. The charcoal colour is slightly lighter than expected but this just hides the dust better, so a small bonus! I put the super-king frame together quite easily with some help from my partner. The upholstery is well finished down the creases and looks of good quality. We bought quite a deep heavy mattress separately and the bed frame holds it well and feels very sturdy under us. This is our second bed that we've bought from Dreams and we'd recommend them to our friends and family.

This bed is beautiful. It feels and looks very luxurious. Im very happy with the colour, a beautiful blush pink bed. However I purchased this along with the TheraPur Actigel plus Harmonic 2200 Mattress. Whilst I ordered a double size mattress, its too large and doesnt fit in the Knox bed frame. What Im left with is a mattress where the edges sit on the bed frame and the middle that dips down onto the slats. A definite design flaw and one I will be contacting you about because Im not going to have a 1000 mattress ruined l. This was not explained or mentioned to me in store when I purchased.

This bed is beautiful quality for the price, however it is definitely nearer dark blue than grey, certainly not a true grey at all. Dreams delivery and communication were faultless, and the bed was available in less than a week, plus the choice of delivery dates is great - Saturday delivery at no extra cost is good too. Having bought the Super King, I will be getting some additional slat supports fitted, as one single leg over a 6ft wide bed doesn't seem enough to me, especially with no central support bar either. That being said it does feel very solid. In general very impressed with Dreams.

We bought the grey superking with 'solid slats'. It's a beautiful looking bed and the delivery and build crew were superb, however from the first night I couldn't believe how bouncy the bed was - I was disturbed every time my wife moved. I knew this was the frame, not the mattress. It didn't seem right to me that a 6ft wide bed should only have ONE support in the middle (even our old king bed had 2). No wonder the slats moved. So I have cut another 5 wooden legs and screwed them into the top slats and hey presto, it's really solid and we have both slept so well since.

Overall I really like this bed. The colour is a little lighter than I was expecting but its still sumptuous! We ordered a king size bed and chose the sprung slats. However, after assembling the frame we realised that the sides were different so the screw holes for the slats didnt match up. The support legs for the slats are cheaply made and kind of rickety so every time we move in bed they make a noise. This is slightly annoying as I invested in a memory foam mattress to avoid being woken by my partner every time he moves (hes a restless sleeper!).

We brought this bed as my wife loves the pink and I do say it growing on me too, we went with sprung slats as ours was the super king size so it feels solid and no squeaking. The fabric is so soft and nice to touch with a high headboard when watching TV in bed, the only downside is the bed would be better with some kind of storage underneath where you could lift the bed to get to but still room underneath. I've got to say one of the best I've brought and only from dreams.

Bought bed around a month ago, delivery was quick, construction stright forward. We bought the grey/blue one & it fits perfectly in our grey/blue master bedroom. The sprung slats make it very comfortable and the bed frame is very sturdy, no wobbles or squeaks and very easy to fall asleep on! Good value for money. Would advise checking in a store to see if the colour fits what you want as it's difficult to see properly in any photos on a phone or computer.

Questions and Answers About The Knox Velvet-Finish Bed Frame

Prospective customers had the following questions about the product

Alistair111
What is the difference between sprung slat and solid slat, what does that mean exactly???

Answer: Sprung slats are shaped with an upward curve allowing them to act like a spring. When lying on the bed the slats bend downwards and when getting off the bed the slats return back to as they were. This provides the bed frame with a sprung like base as opposed to a solid, hard base, making the surface more comfortable and mattress friendly.

People have said that it is more blue then grey, is this just in certain lights as the colour scheme I am going for is dark grey. Does it have a blue tone to it

Answer: The colour of this bed will vary depending on your lighting and room surroundings. Although grey, there are petrol blue undertones and hence if your colour scheme is dark grey this might not be suitable.

What are the internal dimensions of the frame, where the mattress ? My current bed has too much clearance, so I can see 20cm of slats, which I am trying to avoid. A standard king size mattress is 150x200. This bed frame is 170 x225.

Answer: The internal dimensions / space where the mattress fits is designed to fit UK sized standard mattresses. So a king size would accommodate a UK sized King mattress without any gaps or spacing

I have a narrow winding staircase, does this come with the sides seperate from the ends so it can be slid up lengthwise in pieces?

Answer: This bed frame comes in 4 parts (Headend, footend and 2 x side rails). A diagram is available to view in the assembly instructions on the product overview.

can the feet of the bed be in more of a walnut colour or are they a light wood colour as standard?

Answer: The feet on the Knox bed frame are unfortunately only available in one colour - this is the light wood colour that is shown on the images on the website.
