Why our sleep experts loved it

I recently had the opportunity to test out the Nixson Metal Bed Frame in store at my local Dreams branch in the UK. Overall, I was impressed by this bed frame's stylish and antique look, which added a trendy touch to my bedroom while the distressed black metal finish and mimicked industrial piping gave the bed a unique and high-quality appearance.

In terms of comfort, I found the Nixson Bed Frame to be very satisfactory when paired with a pocket spring mattress that was included in store. The bed was creak-free and provided a comfortable and supportive sleep experience.

From a purely financials perspective the bed frame seems to be good value for money. It was reasonably priced compared to other bed frames on the market, and I feel that it offers good value and ruggedness for the price.

What did customers think?

Looking at other reviews, many customers appreciated the Nixson Metal Bed Frame's design, with some describing it as "very stylish" and "rustic looking." Some customers also mentioned that the bed frame added a trendy touch to their apartment or bedroom.

Customers also noted that the Nixson Metal Bed Frame was easy to assemble, with some saying that it took only an hour to set up and that no instructions were needed. Some customers also mentioned that the bed frame was sturdy and solid, with one stating that it was "very sturdy" and "lots of space underneath for storage."

In terms of comfort, several customers mentioned that the bed frame was comfortable and creak-free when paired with a memory foam mattress and gel topper. Some customers also noted the bed frame's value for money, with one describing it as "reasonable priced."

However, one customer mentioned that the headboard plate of the bed frame was flimsy.

Overall, I would highly recommend the frame to others. Its stylish and antique look, easy assembly, and sturdy and solid build make it a great choice for anyone looking to add a trendy touch to their bedroom. The bed's comfortable and creak-free performance is an added bonus, as is its good value for money.

So after having this bed for a while I'd say I'm happy with it. But its not perfect. So first things first. It was easy to put together. And with the mattress I have makes it a comfy bed. Now the bad so their are two issues I have with this bed. One is that the big plain bit at the top and bottom boards are made of very thin sheet metal and not wood like I believed from viewing the site. And they are poorly spot welded on. Because of this it is nosiy if you happen to apply a small amount of pressure to the head board. And has woken me us. But I'm sure I'll get used to it or I'll weld a thicker peace behind it to reinforce it. And to the Chilly. As this is a metal bed frame it dose get cold which has given me a giggle from time to time. Anyways I Would suggest bed it's good and steady and dose what A bed should. I just think with a by replacing the metal sheet. With so hard wood would turn. This bed be from a good bed to a perfect bed in my eyes.

We bought this frame a couple of weeks ago. The delivery people were excellent. I put together the bed myself (Im a 60-year-old lady). After getting the frame together and tightening the bolts before adding the spring slats I found the holes for the bolts to attach the slats to the side rails didnt align. I then realised the bed wasnt squared with right angles. I loosened the bolts, and attached the slats as now I could get the bolts to align. You need to get the slats in place Before tightening any of the bolts. Also the seals described as being rubber look more like plastic but work exactly the same. We are very pleased with our purchase. The only reason for knocking off a star is because I did get a splinter from the frame.

We recently redecorated and wanted a bed that was 'in fitting'. My wife liked the Nixson bed from Dreams so we ordered it after I had checked every other bed on the planet! Her choice was absolutely 'on point', this bed looks fab, is very comfortable and quiet (I was concerned about a creaky metal frame). It was delivered by two very friendly and safe gentlemen and was so easy to assemble (once I worked out that I could slide on the side struts) that I did this alone whilst my wife was at work. I would definitely order this bed again but don't feel I would ever need to as I expect this to outlive me! Thank you Dreams!

I bought this bed frame about 6 weeks ago, to go in my newly decorated bedroom and it looks fantastic. It's got a bit of a steampunk / industrial look which works well with the decor. Assembly was pretty straightforward - no issues encountered, and it feels pretty sturdy - no creaks or squeaks! Delivery was great - good communication from the delivery crew. They arrived in their time slot, were friendly and looked professional. Online purchase was very easy and trouble free. Good communication from Dreams throughout. No hesitation in recommending this product, or making a purchase from Dreams.

Really pleased with the frame, it looks good and the lower end makes our small room look bigger however if you are tight for space add a couple of centimetres to the measurements given. We needed to fit a frame between built in furniture and were very careful in our measurements. This should have given us 3cm leeway but when the frame arrived it was slightly too big for the space & we had to grind away a few millimetres from the widest part to get it to fit. (OK when you have a grinder in the garage and an engineer husband but could present big issues for anyone who doesn't.)

So happy with this bed frame! I had been looking for a metal frame that looked sturdy and didn't have a really high bedhead to fit in a bedroom with sloping ceilings and this is perfect! Exactly as described and even better than the photos. Super comfy, we choose the sprung slats, which came with their own set of instructions which we didn't notice immediately, so there was a bit of confusion but once we'd realised the bed was then very easy to assemble. Communication was great and delivery really fast. Can highly recommend Dreams for top quality service and product.

I bought this best roughly 3 weeks ago. Fanatic quality and quick delivery. Arrived in three large boxes, awkward to move but not heavy. Very very solid frame and love the colour as it is a faux distressed, industrial style. The slats are solid and very strong compared with the flat pack rubbish I was replacing and the bolts tighten well, which sometimes metal beds struggle with. Doesn't creak or crack when all settled and the right length and size for me (6ft). Very impressed with the service and quality, so naturally would recommend.

I chose this Nixson metal bed frame because I wanted something different, not just a standard wooden frame bed or a divan. I liked the aesthetic of the metal framing with a dark brown wooden board on each end, giving an industrial look. The frame is very sturdy and doesn't squeak as one might expect of a metal frame bed. It was also very easy to assemble, even by just one person - although it would have been so much easier with two people. I've not had a chance to 'test' the bed with my girlfriend, but I'm sure it'll be sturdy enough.

I've had this bed maybe about 4-5 years now. Previously I've always had wooden beds and they have NEVER lasted and always split or snapped. This bed is PREMIUM quality and absolutely beautiful. It really is the highlight of any room. I have moved house around 3 times since I've had it and its super easy to assemble and disassemble in around 20 minutes max, and I've never had any issue doing it myself. This is the best bed I've ever owned, and its absolutely timeless. I know it will last me a good number of years and I adore it.

I brought this bed and it looks amazing in my room and Im happy with it. But the slats on the bed arent as good quality as the rest of the bed and on the headboard, the metal sort of sheet behind the pillows is very flimsy and is easy to pop through, it does always pop back out but it moves if you touch it with your hand. The rest of the bed is good quality just a shame its not all good quality. The bed is easy to put together as I didnt add assembly to my order as I could do it myself, delivery guys were lovely and chatty.

Purchased this bed for our daughter's bedroom, for when she comes home to visit. Overall the bed is beautiful and adds a touch of retro elegance to the room with it's dark brassy colours. The only thing I wasn't happy with was the tiny piece of wood acting as a support bar. The reason I wasn't happy with this was due to buying my ned from the Cotswolds company (Solid Oak) cheaper than this bed and having a very solid full length metal supporting beam. So would have expected a more substantial supporting beam for the price.

I bought the NIxson King bed frame a few weeks ago, and am very pleased so far. The frame is sturdy (it was assembled for me) and feels very solid. The photos from the website were accurate, and I'm really pleased with the look. The only (minor) criticism is that the wooden slats are visible even with the king mattress, and given the high standard of the appearance of the frame, it's a shame that the ends of the slats couldn't have been disguised a bit better. But this is a minor complaint and I would recommend the frame.
