Tests & Verdict

Here we collect tests, guides and product reviews so that you can create a picture of what others think about the product. This analysis and review is based on my experience and 12+ years of industry insight.

With over 300 reviews, this is one of the most popular bed frames from Dreams Beds. For those that don't know, Dreams has an impressive track record with their quality and great prices across both their mattresses and bed frame ranges.

Many reviewers are happy with the build quality and sturdiness while others are impressed with the easy to follow instructions and assembly.

It's quite difficult to find any downsides with only 2 negative reviews to date. Of the people unhappy with the product the primary complaint was around the bed squeaking and causing unnecessary noise. This seems like a one off that can perhaps be ignored, failing that, a set of rubbed washers and some sufficient tightening of bolts throughout the set should appease anyone suffering from this particular issue.

I was a little bit nervous buying from Dreams as I always thought it was just basic products for a higher price tag. Well I saw this bed on a deal and went for it! It was a little fiddly whilst building and definitely easier when my partner could help me! I love love love that Dreams sent the bed slats pre-made!! I had made a previous bed in the morning from another company so seeing this made me so happy!! haha. I think it was brilliant that you could choose which side to have the gas lift on!! Our old bed was a cheap bed with a bottom gas lift and never felt brilliant, this one feels SO much sturdier and stronger straight away and the metal / bars used look much better quality and still easily accessible for the most part. I specifically wanted a headboard and footboard / foot end. The headboard is nice and comfy to lean on and nice and sturdy. The foot end is a little shorter than I thought and shows the mattress a little (it's a thick mattress!) but it's lovely. Snug to the mattress but still space to tuck in the duvet to look lovely and neat! It's also brilliant to walk around the end of the bed and not break your shin when you walk into the corner! I wish other styles were a little more affordable or they did this bed in different colour options as it doesn't go perfectly with my bedroom but was my best option. Delivery updates were also frequent, helpful and on time. Would definitely buy again!

Great bed, I absolutely love it and I am really Pleased with it. Ordered online, along with a mattress (also from Dreams) and it came within 2 weeks. Delivery was faultless, called me to let Jenn is they were going to be earlier than my time slot and when they turned up, they were really Polite and friendly. Helped me get the mattress upstairs, and Dave me some advice on how to loom after it. The bed frame itself was really easy to assemble, a little bit fiddly in places, but easy all the same. The bed is solid, and has a great storage space underneath. It looks fab in my room, I absolutely love it! Only reason for the 4 stars and not 5, is the frame is hydraulics are a little stiff when trying to close the storage, I can do it, but takes a bit of a push. Might ease up with use. The bottom of the storage is also a bit of fabric held on by a Velcro strap, isnt the worst thing in the world, but thought it might have been wooden or something. All the same, Id definitely recommend this bed, its great value for the money you pay, and looks amazing.

I love the design of the bed with the curved head and foot ends. However sadly, despite excellent service from my local store and the delivery team, my problems started when I decided to store some items in the ottoman. I already have a king size Dreams ottoman bed and am only changing as I am downsizing to a retirement apartment. Opening was fine as was loading the few items I was storing. Closing was impossible! Eventually I had to call my daughter to come round - shes a fit 40+ year old - but she had problems. Eventually she managed to close it. I think the problem may lie with the fact that my current ottoman bed opens from the bottom and Ive never had any difficulties opening and closing it but this small double ottoman bed opens down the side. Having searched the site I dont see a mention that these side opening ottoman beds are not recommended for elderly customers so perhaps this is something that could be amended. Im pleased to say that Dreams have agreed to change the bed for a model with drawers due to be delivered next week.

We purchased this bed a few weeks ago for our sons bedroom and it arrived this morning. It advises 2 people and 1 hour to put together (for the small double) and well, I'm not the DIY type nor massively strong and I managed to put it together myself. It took more than 1 hour, but with 2 young children (3 and 6 months) I managed to do it in 3, I didn't think I'd even get close to finishing without my partners help! You have the head and foot of the bed, two side pieces, the slats are already in the metal base and the velcro bottom base so not in a million pieces like usual! We ordered in store and knew the colour we were getting, but it is definitely darker than in the main photograph, it's dark grey not silver/grey. I really recommend this bed, it's perfect for our son and I'd happily have it myself too! The only downside is it's gone down in price by 50 in the few weeks we have been waiting for it to be delivered and whilst in store we were told we wouldn't get it cheaper than what we paid .. obviously not true.

The frame material is very nice and soft. It feels and looks like good quality. Its also soft and warm at the same time. The lifting mechanism is good and its good that the bed opens up from the side. Its relatively simple to put together, but it takes about 1.5 hrs. There is no base to the bottom of the bed frame but a Velcroed on material sheet. To an extent it doesnt matter as the material sits on the floor and it allows the stored materials to be off the carpet. not sure it will always stay on place as the sheet is slightly smaller the bed frame and design the hasnt allowed for any sag in the sheet wet to hr fixings. But its holding its place currently. Finally the delivery of the bed and frame was good with emails and calls to confirm delivery time / updates.

Stylish, easy to assemble and lots of storage underneath. This bed came in four boxes to assemble myself, the instructions where clear and concise and I had it put together in no time (although I would advise people to make the build easier). The pointers that the delivery driver gave cam very handy as well. The bed frame itself is solid and robust. The mechanism to lift the bed to get underneath is just right and uses the mattress as a counterweight for a very smooth lift and lower. Would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to get a king size in the near future.

Overall very good bed! It was an easy build, took approx. 2hrs with my brother and I as beginner flat-pack furniture builders. The instructions were really clear, with an accompanying youtube video guide that helped as well! Would've liked a more solid base, it's just a velcro bottom, but it's sufficient since the bed isn't really going to be moved around often. Also, if the gas-piston springs don't budge at first, try adding on the mattress to distribute the weight more evenly for it to work! (Had to look this up as it wasn't advised on the initial instructions)

Amazing! Customer service was fabulous, I got this on the Black Friday sale and had 3 months to pay it off after putting down a deposit, and they honoured the sale price for me! It completely changed the feel of the mattress and the guys built it within half an hour. Very respectful and informative. The base has a really smooth and expensive looking ottoman design too, easy to open and close and feels secure. Fabric is soft, and really nice colour, and the slatts are fitted securely, no flimsy movement or squeaking. Very happy!

Looks great and can be configured to open from the left or right during construction (Helpful video on YouTube). It seems well made but only time will tell regarding durability. This ottoman bed offers easy an easily accessible storage area and a built-in headboard. It came in several boxes, all well packed and fairly easy to manoeuvre into the bedrooms (we ordered 2 beds). The communication and delivery from Dreams were excellent - it was the delivery man who made me aware of the assembly video.

Great product, fairly straightforward to put together but definitely needs two people to do. The material is soft and the headboard is perfect for back support. The bottom (not visible) is made of a cheapish material which velcros on. Obviously because it is velcro it gives no support and you can't put items inside, BUT, you can simply not use the velcro bottom and this solves the issue. That is the only fault, the rest is lovely and exactly as shown. The velcro bottom sheet is shown in picture.

After many problems we finally received a different bed frame to the one we originally ordered and wanted. A nice bed and good service from the delivery people who were very helpful. However, the company failed to tell us the bed frame is actually bigger because of the way the ottoman is designed so now our bedside cabinets don't fit and we've had to buy new ones, which has started a roller coaster around the room trying to find space for stuff as the new cabinets have to be smaller to fit

I managed to build the bed by myself in about 2 hours. Fabric feels good and not cheap and the bed feels strong, also on the plus sides, the slats are already stuck in place. Main issue is the base of the storage compartment of the storage, its velcro.. we put on a vac pack of clothes and it came straight off. In the end we just took off the base so that the carpet was showing, and gained inch more space for storage. The floors hidden so no issue but a solid base would of been nice.

There seems to be conflicting information in the Overviews / Reviews / Q&A ! In the overview it states that the storage depth is 20cm - yet in a Question from Laura97 4 months ago, you state that the storage depth is 30cm - which is correct?

Answer: We apologise for any confusion here and can confirm the storage depth is 20cm. Incorrect answers will be reviewed and updates.

marcy133

When the length of the double bed is 223cm does that include the space that the curled sticking out sleigh bits take aswell or is it just from the feet?

Answer: The 223cm measurement includes the scrolls at the head and the foot of the bed. This is the longest measurement of the bed.

Is the under bed storage directly onto the floor or is theres base?

Answer: There is a fabric base cover that attaches to the bottom of the bed so you are not storing items directly on the floor.
