Why our sleep experts loved it

Northwood Wooden Day Bed, the words in themselves paint a picture of comfort wrapped in elegance, a perfect fit for anyone desiring beauty with functionality. Crafted from solid pine wood and bathed in a classic white hue, this versatile piece of furniture is not only cherished for its stylish aesthetic but also its practical features. But does it live up to its promises? Let's dive into the nitty-gritty to find out.

How we tested

While we didn’t physically put the Northwood Wooden Day Bed to the test within our own rooms, we had the opportunity to view and assess the bed in a showroom setting. We scrutinised its overall design, construction quality and the clarity of its assembly instructions. Most importantly, we evaluated its functionality as a storage unit and bed, which are key selling points, and imagined its suitability within a variety of living spaces.

Design and features

At first glance, the elegant matte white finish of the Northwood wooden frame is appealing. It emits a timeless charm that suits a variety of room styles - from a child's playful space to a guest room exuding sophistication. It's the kind of bed that would blend seamlessly within existing interiors, a dream for anyone looking for a versatile addition to their home. The size and compatibility with a UK standard single mattress enhance its suitability, catering to the needs of children aged 12 and above or as a cosy retreat for the occasional guest.

Construction

The Northwood Day Bed is made from solid pine wood, a detail that promises durability. However, on closer examination, the frame seemed somewhat flimsy, casting serious doubts on its long-term stability and robustness. The bed is equipped with a solid slat base, ideal for maximising mattress life. However, my worry persisted about the bed's overall endurance and the strength of its slats. The inclusion of a discreet trundle drawer for storage adds utility to the bed, but the construction could have been more thoughtfully done to accommodate an additional mattress if needed.

Suitability

The Northwood Wooden Day Bed doesn't seem to be quite the fit for those in need of a sturdy, long-lasting frame or those desiring a trundle space for an extra sleeper. It excels more as a chic space-saving solution, with its spacious under-bed storage drawer minimising room clutter.

What customers thought

Touching upon the feedback shared by customers, the Northwood Day Bed received positive remarks particularly for its drawer feature which aids in cleanliness by keeping the room tidy. However, there were no comments addressing the sturdiness and robustness of the bed frame, or the main concern we had during our showroom visit. We believe it's a crucial aspect to be tested and considered before making a purchase, especially for a bed that’s expected to see daily use by young teens or regularly host guests.

The verdict

In conclusion, while the Northwood Wooden Day Bed might tick the aesthetics box instantly with its classic charm and painted white finish, it may fall short as a durable choice. The weak framing alongside the extended lead time for delivery makes it a less desirable option. For customers specifically in search of an attractive bed with ample storage space and not excessively concerned about long-term endurance, the Northwood Day Bed could be worth considering. However, in our opinion, there are stronger, more resilient day bed options out there which would provide better value for money.

We swapped a double bed for this Day Bed for my friend who has Alzheimers-up to this point she has been sleeping in a chair. Well we maned it a sofa and she lies on it every night. That means her feet are elevated at last.

In all honesty, the drawer addition was a great touch - sensible storage solution for maintaining a clutter-free bedroom. But needs better assembly instructions.

A beautiful looking day bed, perfect for the guest room. I've put cushions on it so it looks like a sofa but it can be used as a spare bed if necessary.
