We were so excited to have our new ottoman bed with 43 smart tv and mattress delivered and constructed by the Dreams team this weekend. The gentlemen who installed it were very professional and explained all the features when they had finished the job. Thrilled we chose the mattress in store using the sleep technology machine. My husband found it hard to leave the bed in the morning. I wish wed done this years ago! Very pleased indeed. The staff were so helpful in store also helping my disabled son choose his first double bed. We spent rather a lot of money but had been worth every penny!

I had always bought metal/wooden framed beds and basically shagged them into oblivion. This divan is solid, I did require an extra purchase to stop the bed travelling around the room at a cost of 12. I chose the mocha coloured frame and headboard only with no drawers, cost a little over 300. Id usually buy a frame for maybe 200 - 250. Spending the little bit extra at Dreams meant my bedroom no longer sounds like an iron works or foundry, Im sure even my neighbours are happy I went to Dreams.

It is well built but it was smaller than what I thought it would be. The pictures gives the impression that it would be a substantial piece but the reality it is relatively small. One minor issue, the back screws that attach them to the divan bed are big which means that it would be poking out over the line of the bed. This means that when the divan bed is pushed around, the screws could scratch the wall. I had to pad them to make sure they don't harm the wall.

Thank god I got the classic stamford headboard in time for Xmas. Prior to this I was leaving greasy stains on the wall. When people visited they were horrified at the unsightly mess but now it can be conveniently hidden by the grey material of the headboard. My grecian 2000 hair dye used to repulse women that came to stay, now they have no idea how dirty my head is, thank you Dreams for giving me back my sex life, 10 out of ten!

This bed was bought for the guest room. All guests have claimed a good nights sleep. Great service from dreams as the order to delivery took 4 weeks and arrived in time for Christmas 2021, The delivery team were very helpful and considerate (wearing shoe coverings and face masks) and carried the bed to the 1st floor bedroom before leaving for me to assemble in 30 minutes.

Excellent service from start to finish. The shop assistant was very informative & showed several options of bed,after using the bed that checks the way I sleep. I was kept informed of delivery date and bed arrived on time . The bed was put where I wanted it by the 2 delivery men who abided by restrictions. After a few weeks now I find the bed very comfortable.

The quality of the headboard is outstanding, it is clear that a lot of care has gone into making it. The solid wood struts to connect to the bed feel strong and hold the board well. The material looks and feels very nice. Very easy to assemble and attach to the bed. Overall a very nice headboard at a very good price and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

I bought this great single size headboard recently because I had already the same style double headboard in brown a few months ago. Both are a delight when entering my bedrooms and complete the furnishings. Although they are not beds I can't say they are comfortable but I get a great deal of comfort from having bought a good product.

We were looking for a headboard to finish off the refurb of our grandsons room. Looking at Dreams we found a choice of two boards and the Mocca colour fitted. Purchase included free delivery which happened within a week. Good communication re delivery. Well wrapped and in perfect condition. Fitted in about 20 mins.

We chose the headboard from the classic range because we liked the design - the horizontal lines. We teamed it with the ottoman base from the luxury range which has a similar cream fabric but with a different pattern. The combination works but it would have been cooler if the luxury range included this design.

I bought this for my daughter who suffers from aching joints. At the time I wondered if it was just going to be lots of money wasted but since it has been delivered it has resulted in far better nights sleeps being reported. Hopefully this will continue. I guess you sometimes do get what you pay for.

Had this a few months now and we were hoping it would soften up eventually however it doesnt seem to be doing so. It is not as it was in the showroom. Maybe we need a better base? Were not sure but we are not entirely happy with this product. Its comfy enough but not worth the 900 we spent on it.

The person who served us at the Nottingham branch of Dreams was helpful, knowledgeable and polite and wasn't pushy - she was interested in ensuring we received the right bed rather than increasing the value of the sale. Arranging the delivery was quick and easy and went smoothly on the day.

It's firm and comfortable. It is also a nice height so easy to get in and out of bed. I like the fact that the edges are firm, so you don't sink when you sit on the edge of the bed. The drawers don't always run smoothly. They often get stuck and you need to jiggle them to get them moving.

The item was well packaged on delivery. However, upon unpacking it was discovered that there was a large tear in the fabric. An extra star added as the delivery team pointed this out and then reported this back to customer services to initiate the replacement.

I only give this headboard 3 stars because it is loose on the bed and cannot be tightened up. Also your packers put sticky tape on either side of it which despite my best efforts cannot be removed, if anyone can tell me what to use I would be most grateful.
