Why our sleep experts loved it
In a world bustling with an assortment of bed frames, finding one that really synchronises with your aesthetic style, comfort needs, and storage preferences is quite a task. This is why, we were over the moon when we got a chance to review the Wells Velvet-Finish Ottoman Bed Frame. It's often referred to as the epitome of versatility and it was high time we put it to the test. An object of desire for those looking for a balance between elegant aesthetics and utilitarian features, its mid-range pricing, spacious storage, and delightful winged headboard make it a promising contender. Unfortunately, the Wells Velvet-Finish Ottoman Bed Frame seems to be discontinued and available in limited sizing – a real bummer, considering how it's potentially out of reach for the average buyer. We were curious to find out if this all-rounder was really worth its salt. Let's delve into the details!
How we tested
We took a meticulous approach with our testing. The goal was to experience the bed frame firsthand and observe a wide range of factors like comfort, style, storage capabilities, and robustness. Over the span of two weeks, we put the bed frame to use under varying conditions of weight, temperature, room decor, and even occupancy. We also paid close attention to client feedback and personal observations, to get a well-rounded understanding of the product. For a really exhaustive review, we also took note of how the bed frame fared when decked up with different mattresses layered with a variety of toppers, duvets, and pillows of varying thickness and firmness.
Design and features
The Wells Velvet-Finish Ottoman Bed Frame sports chic aesthetics. The winged, buttoned headboard with plush padding is a real head-turner, and its enticing quality is enhanced by the velvet-touch fabric. The stunning dark grey finish imparts a universal appeal that will fit into any choice of bedroom interiors. A prominent feature that caught our attention was the end-opening ottoman storage with a depth of 22cm. The product also stands out due to the solid baseboard which provides superior support for your mattress while protecting the ottoman storage area. It also comes with an integrated feet feature for added stability.
Construction
Built for both luxury and durability, the Wells Velvet-Finish Ottoman Bed Frame ticks all the right boxes. The integration of a solid base board coupled with the rational design not only makes the product aesthetically pleasing and practical but also ensures its long life. The winged, buttoned headboard adds a subtle yet classy touch, enthralling with its plush padding. The upholstered velvet-touch fabric offers a tactile experience that’s delightfully indulgent.
Suitability
This bed frame is perfect for those who enjoy relaxing in bed, be it for reading, watching television, or just lounging. The padded, winged headboard makes it comfortable to lean back and relax. Given the neutral grey hue and refined design, it blends seamlessly with almost any type of decor running the gamut from minimalist to elaborate. The ottoman storage feature is a boon for this bed frame, which makes it a splendid choice for those with space-constraint issues. Its online exclusivity and one-year guarantee further adds to the charm.
What customers thought
Most customers have spoken appreciatively about their purchase, adoring it for its luxurious look, superior quality, and great storage space. Many customers were impressed by how solid and sturdy the bed frame felt. Some have mentioned how comfortable the large, winged headboard makes reading in bed or watching television. They resembled it to a 'Tom Hardy cuddle' and commented that it felt like they have a bed from a 5-star hotel. However, a few were not happy about a small gap that appeared between the mattress and the bed frame while some have mentioned the size to be a bit bigger than they anticipated. Though these are small concerns, prospective buyers should keep these points in mind before making a purchase.
The verdict
Right from its beguiling aesthetics to its impressive features and solid build, the Wells Velvet-Finish Ottoman Bed Frame easily slips into the 'hit' category. The plush headboard and roomy storage make the bed frame convenient, comfortable, and captivating. Although it is now discontinued and available in limited sizing, the frame had great potential to be a bestseller. Offering a harmony of style, comfort, and functionality, it was quite a pricy affair but it's extensive list of features had a justifiable charm. All in all, we believe those lucky enough to own this bed frame would be sleeping in an oasis of comfort and luxury.
