Lucia Upholstered Bed Frame

We had put off replacing our old bed for a few years because we were sceptical of what appeared to be available on the market. Our old bed had done us well lasting well over 10 years (prob 15 if truth be told). Anyway one fateful day put an end to the bed, it's days had been numbered and with a bang and a crash the foot board decided it wanted to go its own way rather than stay with the remainder of the bed. Now we were forced into choosing another bed. The dread of having to spend hours on the Internet all of a sudden became real. Lockdown was well and truely established.. We were in over our heads and compelled to seek a suitable replacement. The journey started! As it happened it was a short journey. Tapping our requirements into the search revealed a select few beds advertised by several companies. Narrowing our search by size then availability whittled the options down further and with a final flourish of colour and optional storage hey presto we were left with a choice of 2. This bed search was easier than we had imagined - mercifully. Comparing the 2 beds left us with no option and we left the 'great 1 time sale, limited availability with free luxury pillows all the way from our warehouse in Italy' and settled for our Dreams supplied bed. Navigation through the Dreams website was a breeze, floating through the useful guides and information made sure that the options chosen were indeed what we were after. A final click and we were at the payment page. Details entered and delivery arranged hey presto we had bought a new bed. Follow up emails from Dreams made sure that we were kept up to date with the date and approximate time of delivery. Delivery day came and there was relief that the bed arrived before the advised time. A quick tour of the assembly instructions was followed by an uneventful build of the bed. All fastenings present, clear instructions and before we knew it ta daaa..the bed was assembled. No fuss, no scratching of heads and no cursing!!! Quality of parts exceeded expectations and the final item looked and felt great. The mattress was loaded onto the bed and a well deserved comfort test followed shortly afterwards. We have now had the bed for a few weeks and we can definitely say that all our reservations about buying a new bed were very much laid to rest. Great choice, exceptional quality and good value.

No doubt, lovely looking bed, that I cannot fault. The nightmare was, you have to make your own holes in the wood to put the castor on. 10 small holes for the metal part of the 5 castor to screw in and what a terrible nightmare that was. My right palm was bruised for 4 or 5 days afterwards and I couldn't do both draws on the same day, it was a nightmare. You also have to make holes in the central slat to attach the support in the middle. I couldn't believe it.. So 10 holes in each drawer base for the castor and one for the central support. Honestly, I've never come across anything where you have to make your own Hole's! Not what you expect from an expensive bed from a well known bed shop. Even cheap stuff has ready made holes. For reference too, a double duck feather and down duvet fits in a drawer so they're a good size. Another feature which is good to know, the majority of the bed screws are fitted with an Allen key. Cause they can quite easily damage the groove while screwing in.. You won't be able to take it down so I felt the bed should of been made with Phillips head screws. Once that groove is ruined, you're finished. Just a heads up there, no pun intended. Bed was a sinch really, drawers are a complete nightmare. Good luck! I would recommend this bed if you were getting a fitter to put it up. Otherwise.. I would not recommend it for the simple reason, you have to make your own holes.

Unfortunately the bed was delivered 1 week late but this was mitigated by a 100 refund. Also, the mattress arrived with a couple of small brown stains where holes had formed in the plastic cover, but again this was mitigated with an additional 50 refund by Dreams. The mechanics of the adjustable bed are excellent - the remote and app control are great, the movement is exceptionally quiet and supportive and it is very solid and well manufactured. The upholstered, silver-coloured fabric surround is very smart and pleasing to the eye. You wouldnt know it was a mechanical bed to look at it. The assembly service provided was very thorough, efficient and professional. My only slight disappointment is the rippling of the top section of the memory foam mattress, which doesnt hold its shape as firmly as it could when it has been elevated at the head end. It kind of scrunches up, along with the fitted bed sheet that covers it. Nevertheless, I would wholeheartedly recommend this bed to anyone with mobility issues and my mother is very pleased with the overall experience and comfort.

Fabric: Seems tough wearing with children running and climbing all over it, great colour choices to allow integration in any bedroom. I chose the grey and I think its just the correct shade. Build Quality: - Extra reinforced corner joints - Heavy duty pull out storage - Easy self build (Power tools needed when screwing in the wheels for the pull out drawers) - Taped slats - Strong feet - Strong headboard Cons - A middle frame running end to end with a support leg is needed to bare the load and keep the slats from deforming to much. You can feel that the single wooden support leg directly screwed into the middle slat isnt substantial enough to last I personally feel. To overcome this youd have to choose the sprung slats but I hate the sensation of them if this breed came with a fully flat base this would be a 5/5 Summary: - Great styling - Ergonomic height - Strong storage - Awesome fabric - Could have done with a supporting beam down the middle to support FLAT SLAT option

This frame looks lovely, we have it coupled with a 25cm Tempur Mattress and it sits at a perfect height and fit. The frame feels very sturdy and does not creak or wobble. The solid slats could have been better quality. They are not smoothed off and have some rougher parts which I worry will snag on the mattress when moving it. Please beware if you plan to build this yourself, the frame is easy the drawers are not! I was really disappointed with the self build of the drawers because there are no pilot holes for the castors or the front plate. The castors I could deal with, a good electric screwdriver and a bit of elbow grease got the job done but the front plate is just ridiculous. You have to line it up yourself as there is no guide and then trying to hold it in the perfect position while screwing it on with no pilots is difficult and frustrating because if you mess up, you will have wonky drawers. Other than that, everything feels super sturdy and looks fantastic.

After sleeping on the new bed, my review is this: at first when I laid down it felt like a cloud in heaven but after a while, it felt like a hug. Not just any kind of hug, not the awkward hug you give your in laws when youre confused if they give kisses on the cheek or just a simple wave, no... this is a hug thatll leave a lasting impression of comfort and security. When I woke up, I was worried I wouldnt notice a difference, I was wrong. I got up for my morning routine and while I was cleaning my teeth, I realised my posture was instantly better. Not a single twinge of pain, not a slightly stiff muscle, I was like jelly, so much so, I was worried I was going to fall into a puddle state if I stood there too long. I woke up relaxed, at ease and like all my troubles had gone away. If there is one thing I can say about this bed, is that this bed feels like therapy, somewhere I can go feeling stressed and wake up having let go of all my problems and troubles.

Delivered on time and by a couple of friendly happy smiling dreamers, the old bed was removed and the assembly was begun. All the parts were checked and confirmed to be in the package. The headboard and foot board were assembled to the side boards in a few minutes. We had been warned that the drawers were like a jigsaw puzzle so having read the instructions twice they were completed in about 1 hour for the both of them. The sprung base had been selected and obviously the design for the centre legs had been updated since the instructions were printed but the fitting was straight forward.. Now to the little niggle; after the mattress had been placed on the bed together with the pillows and duvet the bed needed to be moved 4 inches to the left and the friction of the 3 sprung base centre legs would let the bed be moved sideways. The moral of the story is that you should get the bed in position before adding the mattress and bedding

Ive slept on the bed for a week now and the bed is fine, it does the job. I was slightly annoyed there was a flash sale on the bed 2 weeks after I purchased it and Im still not convinced I had the best deal on it. However, all in all Im content. Caution of note! This bed takes forever to build I know it says 1-2 hours in the instruction but it takes much longer. Theres around 13 screws (If my memory serves me right maybe more ) that you have to screw into fresh wood with no markings/pre-prepared holes, so if youre without a drill this will honestly take forever. So if you had a bad back, or do not have a drill or dont like following furniture assembly instructions you may be better off getting Dreams to do the assembly. Dreams - update your instructions and be a little more honest about timings and equipment requirements! However, I go back to my original point, assembly aside the bed is fine!

Myself and my Fiance spent hours deliberating which bed to go for, we were always going to go with Dreams but the sheer amount of beds on offer left our heads spinning. After 3 visits to various Dreams stores to actually SEE the beds we got ourselves set on the Lucia and quite frankly... WE. ARE. VERY. VERY. VERY. PLEASED! It pulls the room together nicely and was a breeze to assemble (recommended 2 people). It all came together quite seamlessly with minimal stress. Overall the bed feels sturdy and very well manufactured, the texture of the material is much better than we could have envisioned and the two draws underneath are HUGE! we can almost fit our wardrobes worth of clothes under the bed! I would very highly recommend this product to anyone that wants a simplistic and well made bed to compliment the rest of their room. Great value for money and more than happy with the overall service!! Thank You Dreams!

I'm due to have a hip operation and popped into Dreams to buy a new bed. It needed to be lower and firmer than the one I had already but the choice was overwhelming. However the staff at Dreams were fab and not at all pushy. I was advised to lie on a computerised bed which then mapped out the stress point areas on my body and it narrowed down the choice of mattresses best suited to me. The bed frame was by the entrance to the shop and immediately caught my eye. It's absolutely stunning, supportive and has two very large drawers beneath it with massive capacity. The frame is the perfect height and the curved base at the end of the bed is much appreciated as you can tuck throws and duvets into that section which means they no longer fall off the bed! I guess the only thing is that there are no castors on the bed so will no doubt be tricky to vacuum beneath it. However all in all, a great bed and no regrets.

My husband and I brought this bed 2 weeks ago as a wedding present. The service we received was fantastic and really helpful. I received a text the night before and the morning after with the timescales 9 - 11, they raised 9 on the dot. I managed to put the bed together myself within 2 hours but must admit the alen keys are a bit of a hassle. We also brought the storage box which came already assembled. The bed has recently started to make a noise which we've realised is the slats. They aren't very tight which means they're constantly moving about. As yout can only place 6 slats into place this also doesn't help the spacing. For this issue to stop, we would need to drill them all into place. Overall it's a beautiful bed with great storage but they need to work on the slats. I think we may be taking ours back, it got a new one for this reason!

I bought the Lucia bed frame just recently in dark brown colour, and paid extra for the sprung slatted base, so delighted with our new Lucia bed frame, it's gorgeous, the faux leather bed upholstery is really stylish and smart, we love our new Lucia bed from dreams! Would definitely recommend to everyone! It's a lovely stylish comfortable bed, so comfy we don't want to get out of bed in the mornings! Dreams delivered as promised on time, and the delivery men were lovely! And very polite and helpful, even took it upstairs for us, wonderful company, wonderful delivery men, will be purchasing any further beds etc from this company in the future, they are a very well known company! Dreams is the word! Added bonus! Our Lucia bed frame has 2 built in large drawers with dark matching faux leather material, its a lovely bed frame, you won't be disappointed!
