If you're after a good mix of design, practicality, and comfort in a bed frame, the Tamara Ottoman Bed Frame could be it. With a primary focus on creating optimal sleep quality, this product aims for a design that is durable, modern, and perfect for those in need of using storage space. Getting the recommended eight-hour sleep can often seem elusive but the choice of the right bed frame can shift the scale in our favour. The Tamara Ottoman Bed Frame, being a product with its unique design and sophisticated construction, may be a worthy contender to help tip these scales. So, let's look at its features and intricacies, make a detailed examination, before arriving at such a conclusion.
How we tested
In our local Bensons for Beds store, we undertook a thorough examination of the Tamara Ottoman Bed Frame. In order to firmly assess the products quality and practicality, we spent several hours inspecting various elements ranging from the firmness of its slatted base, the sheen and texture of the fabric on the bed frame, and resistance of the bed's movements when it was lifted to access the storage space. When I ran my hand over the grey velvet, it felt soft with a slight nap to it, and the stitching on the headboard looked neat up close. We also critically evaluated its overall aesthetic appeal, and of course, took turns lying on it to sample its offered comfort.
Design and features
The Tamara Ottoman Bed Frame is more than just a standard bed frame. The primary attraction, of course, is its sleek, modern design. With a contemporary horizontally stitched headboard, it matches various types of home décor and adds a touch of elegance to your bedroom. The bed frame, finished in a luxurious grey velvet fabric, allows the aesthetic to effortlessly meld with your existing colour scheme, while also providing a touch of elegance and sophistication. Sitting on the edge, it held up better than I expected for an ottoman style frame, without that immediate dip you sometimes get.
Construction
The beauty of the Tamara Ottoman Bed Frame extends beyond its exterior look. It's been carefully constructed to provide optimal support and comfort. The sprung slatted base is designed not only to hold your mattress securely but to also provide you with the right level of firmness, ensuring an undisturbed good night's sleep.
Undoubtedly, the bed frame's marquee feature is its Ottoman storage availability. With an easy-lift mechanism, the storage space under the bed frame offers a convenient place for those extra bed linens, off-season clothing, or any items you'd like to keep out of sight. When I lifted the base a few times, the mechanism felt smooth and controlled, and it didn't wobble about once it was up.
Suitability
The Tamara Ottoman Bed Frame is available in four sizes. Thus, regardless of whether you're after a single bed for your growing child, a small double or double bed for a compact guest room, or a king-size bed for a bit of luxury in your master bedroom, there is an option. The wider dimensions of the king-size version offer an ideal setup for those who favour ample space while enjoying their slumber.
What customers thought
The Tamara Ottoman Bed Frame has its partisans and critics, much like any other product. Storage and looks are what owners mention most. One wrote "There is a massive amount of space underneath", and several say the base is light to lift. The grey velvet is described as "soft to touch", though a few found the colour darker than it looks in the pictures. Value gets plenty of praise too.
The floor of the storage area is the thing owners pick up on. It's a fabric sheet held on with Velcro, not a board, and owners point out that you can't move the bed without emptying it. Some don't mind, like the owner who wrote "we knew that before buying so no problem for us". Others wanted a solid base. A few also found the space shallower than they'd hoped, one calling it "not very deep when the slats are added".
Most owners who mention assembly found it easy, but not all. One wrote "It took a few stressful hours to assemble". Some paid for the assembly service. The frame is called sturdy far more often than flimsy, although a minority weren't impressed with the build. A few had their delivery date pushed back, and one owner "Had to wait 2 months".
The verdict
The Tamara Ottoman Bed Frame with its modern design and practical construction, offers an appealing product in its price range. The fusion of the Ottoman storage feature with an aesthetic design and potential comfort level it offers, set it apart from various products available in the market. Despite a few voiced concerns, if you're looking to invest in a bed frame that offers utility and comfort without compromising on elegance and style, and within a moderate budget range, the Tamara Ottoman Bed Frame is worth your consideration.
