I have a limited amount of space to work with in my bedroom and can't fit a normal size double so had been looking at small double options for a while, specifically in the ottoman style as easy to access storage was also a priority. Bed comes in 4 flat packed boxes that may require 2 people to life depending on your strength. Easy to assemble once all the boxes are unpacked and the bed parts and nuts/bolts/screws are all laid out, provided you follow the instructions carefully. I had read a couple of negative comments about this bed before I purchased namely it made a lot of noise when you moved about and secondly that the gas pistons that hold the bed frame at 45 degrees when accessing underneath storage are hard or impossible to push down afterwards. On the noise when moving about comment, I have to say I have not experienced this and so the previous reviewer either got a dud or hadn't tightened everything enough. However the gas pistons are really hard to move and you definitely won't shift them until you have assembled them into the bed and have a mattress on top to help with downward force. I found pushing down then releasing, pushing down then releasing in a sort of rocking motion got it started and then it's brute downward force to push it down fully. Nearly a month later and it is certainly a bit easier to close the bed frame but do think carefully if you don't consider yourself that strong. That being said, I am a 10 stone runner with not a lot of upper body strength and I manage it, and on the plus side you know the frame will never fall on your head when you are under it. Overall I am very pleased with how it looks, how comfortable it is (this is also down to the mattress of course) and the size of the storage and ease of access. Would recommend to anyone who needs a stylish looking bed with good storage but not the room for a normal double size unit.

As I lay in bed one morning, tossing and turning feeling as uncomfortable as a dog in a cat flap I thought to myself, enough is enough Chris, time to buy a new bed I grabbed my phone and began googling comfortable beds and who showed up at the top? Thats right, ya boy Dreams. Scrolling through their wide selection of beds, I came across one that fit my exact needs and wants. 1. Comfortable 2. Sleek and 3. Storage. And boy, thats exacrly what you get with this bed. I grabbed my debit card and purchased it immediately!! And chose for Dreams to build it (to save me the hassle, because you know... sore back;) ) so waited around 3 weeks and my bed arrived and was built in around, 30 or so minutes. Which allowed me to fit in an episode of Brooklyn 99 and chow down my breakfast. They done a fantastic job! Now... in my haste of buying this bed so quickly as I didnt want it to run out of stock... I accidentally clicked the wrong size of bed DOH! So contacted Dreams and straight away they resolved my issue and even credited a few of the extra charges and explained that it was no hassle whatsoever and it will dismantled, taken away and the new one will be built. FANTASTIC!!! Now.. the important part. This bed looks the part, I chose the dark grey fabric. Had a few compliments lets just say and by few... I mean my mother. The sturdiness is outstanding! No more old loud, creaky frame! the under bed storage is more than enough, you could hide horse under there... not that I recommend that.. anyway, moving on. The comfort is really great and has made my mattress feel newer due to the slats and base giving it extra support. Overall, I highly recommend this bed if your into, sleek, stylish, modern looking furniture, extra storage and hiding farm animals. 10/10

We've had this bed for just over two weeks now. We have the Kendall mattress alongside the Wilson ottoman bed. Delivery was great, the drivers popped the boxes into the master bedroom and were very cheery and tidy (shoe coverings put on at the front door). I managed to put this bed together myself, with the help (!) of my toddler, it was super easy to do - apart from the base, now that was tricky - thankfully my 8yr old was on hand to hold it in place whilst I attached to the pistons! Put together in around 1.5hrs in total and I am not only pleased I could whack it together myself but I did so with few (quiet) swear words. I did worry, when putting the mattress stoppers in on the opposite side of the ottoman opening, because the pressure of sliding them in caused the other side to shoot open... thankfully the weight of the mattress stops this. I was concerned that my husband may be catapulted out of the bed one night. No such luck. We opted for the kingsize and despite worrying when it was all in boxes that it would be too big, it's not, it looks great and it's incredibly comfortable. I did read others annoyance about the material base for the ottoman on the reviews on here but I can't find fault with it, it's incredibly strong Velcro and it's held together perfectly. So glad I chose this bed because my bedroom was becoming a dumping ground for many things (as I'm sure any parent knows - anything random just gets dumped into mum and dads bedroom) but now at least it can be hidden and it's finally back to looking like a bedroom, not a skip. All in all, bed's a hit. Thanks Dreams!

I'm very disappointed in this bed for only one reason: there is no base in the ottoman storage area. It seems to be excellent quality, very sturdy and was easy to build. I was very impressed overall until I reached the end of building it and was searching through the boxes for the base, only to discover there was nothing other than a bit of fabric that attaches to the bottom of it with Velcro. So everything you put in it essentially sits on the floor, which isn't very practical when you need to move the bed and it gets dragged along the floor inside the bed. I think for the price of this bed (it wasn't exactly cheap) there should be a base, the whole point of buying an ottoman bed is to use it as a storage area inside the bed, not under it meaning you can't move the bed without removing the items within. I have purchased several ottoman beds over the years and this is the first one I've had without a base. Indeed, even the one it replaced, which cost a third of the price from Argos and was of much inferior quality had a solid base in the ottoman storage area. I can only assume this is a manufacturing cost saving exercise, but the minimal saving completely ruins the design. At the very least there should be an option to add a proper storage base at the point of purchase or after purchase. The only other thing I would point out is that the bed doesn't lift up very high to access the storage area, not anywhere near as high as previous ottomans I've had. Just makes it a bit more difficult to access, but isn't a deal breaker.

The bed we purchased was a standard double divan with storage underneath whivh is easly accesed .It arrived as a flat pack perfectly packaged and easily assembled using the supplied instruction sheet complete with alan key and spanner clear precise instructions, an option when purchasing the bed from Dreams was the option for a small fee to have the bed assembled. When assembling the bed it becomes quite apparent how well the bed has been put together in the manufacturer's work shop. Its a lovely modern bed with a fantastic amount of storage underneath, if i was to be slightly critical on any part of this product it would be pushing the mattres back in to place after gaining access to the storage , the opening mechanism works using oil filled dampers and untill they have been used a few times they are quite resistant to being closed, no issue for an adault but would be difficult for a younger person until they were used a few times . The bed and matress are extremely comfortable, Even though the bed is in our guest room we slept on.it for a week as a trial and to be quite honest i believe its even more comfortable than our bed and mattress that cost ten times more than our purchase from Dreams. We will certainly use Dreams again and i have already reccomend Dreams to friends and advised them to make Dreams the first store to check out when looking for a bed and or mattress.

I purchased this bed early last month. The bed was delivered on time and the delivery men were very friendly and chatty. Myself and my Wife opted out of the assembly option and chose to assemble it ourselves. When the bed arrived it came in a number of large boxes which made us question whether we had made the right decision with regards to self assembly. After unboxing the items, we were relieved as there really wasn't many seperate parts to building the bed. The instructions were extremely easy to follow and we managed to assemble it without any issues. A bit of advice however, I'd suggest using a powertool to aid in assembly as it's much quicker than using standard hand tools. Overall, if you're happy with DIY, the bed is not a challenge to assemble. Once assembled, the bed sat perfectly within our bedroom. A sylish, modern and relatively light weight bed which looks excellent. The ottomon feature is also extremely handy, leaving plenty of room for storage under the bed. I wouldn't attempt to lift/close the bed without a matress on as it takes a lot of force to close it. With a matress, opening and closing is simple. I'd greatly recommend this bed if you're looking for a new one, it looks great, has excellent build quality and I have no doubt that it'll last for years to come.

I was looking for a new bed in this colour however without that crushed velvet material and came across this, which I think is a little different and very classy. Although I got this for 250 in the sale, I would definitely pay the full price, it's so worth it. Very easy to assemble, took me about 3 hours mainly on my own. The gas mechanism is quite tough/stiff and requires force when pushing down however I prefer this as it means its safe and secure. The storage is amazing! It didn't take me long to fill it and I can't believe how much I've managed to fit underneath it. At first, there was a constant creaking sound on one side whenever I moved, which was really annoying and put me off massively...until I noticed it was the lifting strap material rubbing on the frame below that it rested on. I removed this and the creaking was eliminated..I can lift it just as well without the strap. The only thing I would advise to dreams for those keeping the strap on is to perhaps make the strap the same colour as the bed as the black isn't very flattering against the grey bed frame. (Stands out obviously). The headboard height is perfect and really comfortable to rest on. The material is good quality and the bed overall is very pleasant to sleep on.

Ordered bed roughly a month ago now and no complaints at all with the product and service. Multiple emails and texts informed when my delivery was due and the bed was straight forward to assemble. Took a couple of hours but nothing difficult, Helps to have atleast two persons just so someone can hold pieces together whilst the other inserts the bolts/screws. Ottoman feature can be set up to open from either left to right - your choice!, The instruction manual that came in the delivery also provided a youtube link to watch an instructive video on how to assemble step by step and I was able to download a further copy from the website. The bed itself is true to the images on the site and is a lovely light grey. Looks well put together and ties in with the room beautifully. Bought at time for 349 but noticed it has gone down in price at the moment! Great value for something that looks like it might have cost alot more. Only draw back was the velcro backing on the panel to fit the base of the bed as it was slightly smaller than the frame itself, so we had to really tug to get an even enough backing all the way around. Closing the bed is a little difficult too but I imagine this might ease over time.

Really impressed with the sales service. After initially ordering the wrong colour, I called Dreams and they sorted that out no problem and delivery was prompt and very well communicated. As with most flat packed furniture, this bed tested my marriage but only because my husband gets immediately stressed about the process before weve even started. However, despite being a flat pack whizz myself, we did stumble on a couple of issues. First of all the ottoman mechanisms need to be fitted on the left or right depending on how your room is laid out, there are blue and red stickers over pre-drilled holes on the head and foot of the bed, on the bed we ordered someone in manufacturing must have been chatting whilst putting the stickers on as two of the stickers were in the wrong place causing 5 minutes of confusion. Secondly, we got to the last hurdle and we have faulty gas springs which help the bed go up and down... needless to say I will be calling Dreams in the morning to sort this out and hope they will continue to give the great service theyve offered so far. Overall, lovely looking bed but a quality control check wouldnt go amiss before the parts leave the factory.

I Purchased this as a 4ft guest bed in the spare room. I wanted it for the storage, which does really well. Your items are stored directly on the floor when the bed is assembled, but there is a base cover which Velcro's to the underside of the bed. This is the only fiddly part of the assembly. Before you assemble the bed it is best to open this base sheet and hang it over the banister to allow it to flatten out. The assembly look a little daunting when you first see all the parts, but as long as you sort the fasteners into the three sets as in the instructions you won't go wrong. Good quality and goes together well, nice fabric too. The mechanism needs quite a lot of effort to close, this may be due to the gas rams being new, but i know that this can also be affected by the weight of the mattress you choose as the heavier this is the easier it will close due to the extra weight; this also may be more noticeable as the bed is a 4ft bed and i can't imagine that Dreams would have differing rated gas rams. Say that if you close it by directly pushing on the frame and not the mattress its not really a big issue and i would still recommend it.

The idea of an ottoman bed came to my wife. I came across this very nice-looking bed from Dreams and we went to see it the next day. Opening to one side or the other was just what we needed with our sloping ceilings. The price was good too. Only problem: the strange net thing at the bottom. Why would you have that, we thought? Wouldn't it make sense to have a solid base. So we abandoned the Wilson and went searching for another type - everywhere. Nothing looked as good as the Wilson, however, or seemed as well made. (The reviews show it's not going to last forever and you need to go easy on the struts, of course). The fabric stapling on some beds we saw was extremely haphazard. BUT HERE'S THE THING: coming back to the Wilson, the webbing suddenly made sense. It's better than a solid board. You can take everything out, remove the webbing and hoover underneath. With a heavy storage bed and a solid base, you'll probably never clean underneath it. IN CONCLUSION, the Wilson was professionally delivered, easy to put together, and it's absolutely phenomenal in terms of storage space.

Well, it looks great, lifts up fine (but you should expect it to be hard to push the slats down after you first attach them, it's pretty stiff). Big down-side is that I was expecting the bottom of the inside of the bed to be hard - so that when you put stuff inside it would all be contained literally inside the beds base. Instead it's a piece of fabric Velcro'd to the bottom of the four sides of the bed. So basically as soon as you put anything heavier then a pillow in it, the Velcro material will pop off and it'll be on the ground - not inside the bed base at all. This isn't a huge deal, but it was kind of incredibly annoying to find this out mid-way through putting it together. Didn't see mention of it on the website before purchase. Not sure if I overlooked some detail in the description but I think it should be photographed at least to make it super clear that it's a material base inside. My solution will be to remove that Velcro fabric and buy some plastic tubs to put inside it instead (resting on the floor but under the mattress at leastl). Other then that it's a nice looking bed.

What's the difference between maintenance and assembling?

Answer: Maintenance is the after-care that this product will require to keep it in its best condition. Saying this, there are no specific maintenance requirements for the Wilson.The assembly is the process of fitting together the separate components into the completed bed frame. This can be bought for 49.99 at the checkout stage online.I hope this helps and thank you for your question.

Possible Buyer

The velcro for the storage base - does the velcro touch the floor? If it does not , when storage area is at full capacity will it then force the lining to sink down to the floor causing the velcro to pull apart. If so a solid base is warranted.

Answer: The Wilson bed frame has a fabric base for the ottoman - unlike a solid base the fabric sits directly on the floor. This is to protect your flooring from any items you store in the ottoman sections. This type of ottoman storage is just as effective, the only difference is your belongings will sit directly on the floor.

Pandapop

What depth mattress do I need to get please for a double in this

Answer: There is no recommended or suggested depth of mattress to use on this bed frame. Please bear in mind that the depth of mattress will affect how much space is required on the hinged side of the bed. Depending on the weight of the mattress, the speed of the lift will vary so be careful until you get used to the speed.

Jw011

Hi, Can a single mattress fit underneath in the ottoman?

Answer: This will depend on the depth and length of the single mattress. The internal storage depth of the ottoman is 20cm. You will also need to check the length of your single mattress as these vary depending if they are EU or UK singles. All of the bedframes are made to UK sized mattress lengths and widths

Laura F

Good afternoon, Would a small mattress fit in the storage area under the slats? Is there any guaranty on the lifting mechanism? Many thanks

Answer: This could possibly fit if the mattress is smaller then the mattress needed for the bedframe in general. It would also need to be a depth of 22cm or less. The mechanism will be covered in the 1 year manufacturing guarantee however there is a 8 year plan through checkout available for you to purchase.Many thanks for the question.

Alan1234554321

what do the mattress dimensions need to be?

Answer: The required mattress dimensions will depend on the size of the bed that you require. This bed frame is suitable for all the standard size mattresses. Relevant mattress dimensions/sizes can be found on the 'Bed and Mattress Guide' page - the link for this is located at the bottom of the homepage.

Jenny822

Thank you for answering my previous question re putting a double mattress on a small double bed frame. If the mattress overhangs width ways, will the ottoman bed open and still function correctly

Answer: This has not been tested so we cannot confirm that this would function correctly. The bed frame features stoppers on one side to stop the mattress from sliding off when the ottoman is open. Therefore if the mattress is too large it would not fit against the stoppers correctly.
