Rosie Wooden Day Bed

BuildWood

In shortFor a child's room or spare room, I'd pick this wooden day bed for sleepovers and its classic look. "Not very clear instructions" made the build tricky for one owner, so check those and the 70 kg per single bed limit before you buy. Read the review

What our reviewers found

Pros

  • The day bed's traditional panelled finish in classic white, with a two-tone wooden plinth, suits kids' rooms and spare rooms alike.
  • Primed for social occasions, the day bed stands as an ingenious sleep solution for welcoming sleepover guests, ensuring there's a comfortable spot for everyone.
  • On a practical level, you can add a storage drawer to use the space underneath.
  • Aside from accommodating bed occupants, the day bed's drawer also functions as a handy storage space for clothes and bedding, making cluttered rooms a thing of the past.
  • If you add the drawer, it's a handy place for spare bedding or toys.

Cons

  • The day bed might not be suitable for heavier individuals as it has a weight limit of 70 kg per single bed, potentially limiting its functionality.
  • The Rosie Wooden Day Bed requires assembly, which one owner found "Bit tricky to build".
  • Lastly, it is worth noting that the bed may not suit those who require a deeper mattress for comfort, given its maximum mattress depth of 15 cm.

I've been looking at the Rosie Wooden Day Bed for a while on my usual store visits, so here's my review of it. I'll run through its features, construction, who it's best for, and what owners think. Then I'll finish with my honest verdict.

How We Tested

Our testing method for the Rosie Wooden Day Bed was done in store, giving us first-hand experience with the product. Our test didn't involve an in-home trial. Instead, we relied on thorough store visits, which allowed us to interact with the product physically, allowing us to examine the product's construction, design, and features first-hand. Customer reviews played a vital role in informing our opinion to provide you with a well-rounded evaluation.

Design and Features

Rosie Wooden Day Bed is a stylish, two-tone design piece blending classic white with a rustic wooden panel effect. Its immaculate craftsmanship shines through the solid pine wood construction that guarantees durability. The day bed also comes with a pull-out design allowing it to extend to a super king size, ideal for accommodating guests. There's also the option to add an additional storage drawer, perfect for stashing away spare bedding or other essentials. It comes with a Dreams guarantee.

Construction

Built from solid pine wood, the Rosie Wooden Day Bed gives confidence in its long-term sturdiness. The day bed comes with solid slats, each 8cm in width, showing a solid build quality. Assembly takes two people, and the one owner review found the instructions unclear, so allow extra time. My observations in store confirmed all these features and the bed's overall solid construction.

Suitability

The Rosie Wooden Day Bed is a handy piece of furniture, perfect for children's bedrooms and guest rooms due to its extendable feature. It's an ideal solution for transforming spaces, accommodating unexpected guests, and saving space. It's recommended for children aged 4 and above and has a load-bearing limit of 70kg per single bed. This bed's utilitarian nature goes hand in hand with its aesthetic charm, making it a welcomed addition to any home.

What Customers Thought

One owner called it a "Good quality bed, not cheap but worth investing", though the same owner found it "Bit tricky to build" and the instructions unclear. Dreams' own staff review, not an owner's, calls the Rosie "perfect for sleepovers" and says the drawer is good for "keeping clothes, bedding or even soft toys neatly tucked away".

The Verdict

In my personal opinion, while the Rosie Wooden Day Bed might seem expensive at first glance, the blend of its solid construction, two-tone design, practical extendable feature, and storage solution delivers value that justifies the price point. Its suitability for children, success in delivering aesthetics, and practical solution for unexpected guests are highly solid. If you like a classic design and need space-savvy furniture, the Rosie Wooden Day Bed is a brilliant solution. Living with furniture is the real test, and the owner evidence here is too thin to call yet.

How much weight can this frame take when extended to the Super king size? ie. could it take the weight of two adults?

Answer: Our beds are tested to British Standard where 120kg weights are used on the beds stress points. There isn't a weight limit set for people using the bed as such, as when laying on the bed weight is distributed more evenly.

Can you store the second mattress in the bed when it is built but not open?

Answer: The recommendation is to use a 15cm max depth mattress, so you can stack them for ultimate storage optimisation. You can use a deeper mattress on this frame but the 2nd mattress would need to be stored elsewhere.

if I want beds to be a king when I have couples what size mattress is required?

Answer: When the trundle is pulled out, it creates a Super king frame, not a king. We recommend two single mattresses for this frame so that the second mattress can be stored within the day bed when not being used.

Where is the second mattress stored when not in use

Answer: As the pull out frame slots into the main frame, there is no built in storage for a second mattress. We recommend stacking the second mattress on top of the first mattress, or putting underneath the bed.

What are the bed dimensions with extended frame? What size mattress for the second/extension bed?

Answer: You would need two UK single mattresses for this bed frame at 190cm x 90cm, with a maximum height of 15cm. With the bed pulled out, it would be 180cm wide, and 190cm in length.

Hi, if I order this day bed with mattress, is it one mattress or two ? Will I need to order a second mattress to open this furniture up? Thanks

Answer: Dreams sells the Rosie frame without a mattress, so you buy the mattress separately. If you want a day bed sold with a mattress, Dreams' Northwood day bed has that option.

Can you use mattresses thicker than 15cm?

Answer: We do not recommend using a mattress thicker than 15cm due to storing the mattress underneath the bed when not in use.
