Why our sleep experts loved it

The Yardley Upholstered Ottoman Bed Frame is a luxurious looking bed frame with an easy to assemble design. It is made from a faux leather material (or fabric if you prefer). 

This bed frame is available in faux leather or fabric options depending on your needs. The faux leather is easy to clean and maintain while the fabric in grey is timeless and goes with much of todays decor. The addition of the ottoman gas lifts allows you to open the storage compartment at the foot of the bed for additional storage space.

Reviews are strong, being one of the more popular products in the Dreams lineup. Customers particularly enjoy the sturdy design and well-priced but well-made structure. At time of writing we have near 700 reviews and a customer satisfaction score of an impressive 96%.

Was going to purchase an ottoman bed and firmer mattress from John Lewis, but the ones I wanted had been out of stock for several weeks...and still are. Had purchased a couple of times before from Dreams so no issues there...always had good experiences though usually in store. Needed to have a slatted frame for the mattress which it does and preferably a solid base for storage - very rare theses days, this seemed to check all the boxes. Also the mattress needed to be firm or medium/firm so the Hudson ticked that box too. All easily done online. Given good info re delivery and all dates and times and all went smoothly in delivery day...old divan bases, mattress and headboard collected too. Assembly was easy, even by myself, took a couple of hours as I was being deliberately slow as to make sure didn't miss anything. Only downside is that the bed itself is a little lower than anticipated so that takes some getting used to...not a huge issue though. Looks good and works well, happy with purchase.

I havent used it yet but I wanted to win tv but after I've used it I'll say more. But what I can tell you is the price was good and it was easy to put together. You could do it on your own but it's best to get help. As I haven't used it yet I can't tell you how strong it is which I'm curious about. The material on the underside I didn't expect theres a sheet held on with velcro. I wasn't expecting this and thought there would be more secure for an ottoman. So obviously you can't put much in it and if you do it'll be on floor and you will need to empty before moving. I forgot to check this before buying my mistake. Although I'm not sure what other beds do this is my first ottoman they may all do this. I think if the ottoman opened from the side rather than bottom it would be easier to store things in as it's hard to store by the headrest, but it's still achieveable. Time will tell how well it holds up I bought the warranty that seems a good buy. For the price you can't go wrong.

we have had our bed for three weeks now and it's a lovely piece of furniture. There is ample storage underneath with no 'dead areas' so every inch of space can be used. It's very simple to put together with clear step by step instructions. I put this together in 90 minutes but a word of advice, when adding the frame onto the lever arms and attaching it to the them it is worth compressing the gas levers with a couple of zip ties then secure the bed in place, loosen once attached and slide out the tie's. It makes things a lot easier. In addition, the headboard box (biggest and heaviest) is the box containing the instructions and fixings, everything is zipped inside the back of the headboard which is neat. We chose a firm pocket sprung mattress to go with this frame and on delivery both the delivery men were helpful and took everything to the relevant bedrooms for me, even taking their shoes off when entering my home. Thanks guys!

Living in the far north of Scotland buying products can and regularly are problematic with many companies shying clear or charging an arm and a leg for delivery. Dreams are different and although delivery is a little more prolonged they are happy to arrange it. I was kept completely up to date on the delivery with regular updates and a timed arrival, delivery drivers were excellent and helpful. The bed itself is excellent and simple to put together - around 40 mins and it was done, it feels substantial and solid built, the slats are already fitted and is just a case of attaching headboard and fitting the lift up frame. Price is very good for what you get. Many bricks and mortar companies don't fare too well with online sales but my experience here has been excellent from placing the order to receiving the goods and simply won't go elsewhere for my next bed purchase.

Having been sleeping on a mattress on the floor for two years in my tiny cottage, I decided it was about time to get a proper bed, so having had excellent service from Dreams before I didn't waste time looking around elsewhere. I chose the Yardley Upholstered Ottoman to enable me to utilise the storage underneath. With lockdown in full swing, the efficient delivery team were only allowed to place the parcels inside the front door. So I had the interesting task of assembling the bed, by myself, in a room that only measures 6ft by 9ft! After an hour of grim determination the result has now been two weeks of wonderful sleeps, so much better than the two years previously. Thank you Dreams, five stars !!

I have rated this quite high because build quality etc is very good however there were issues! The instructions that Dreams sent were for the double bed, problem was I didn't immediately realise as the wording on said instructions said in large letters "Single Bed" but the component parts were slightly different and in the end I downloaded a PDF of the correct ones but had wasted a few hours dismantling and reassembling etc! Also the actuator arms instructions were the wrong way around, again annoying but sorted it in the end! Message to Dreams check your instructions on the single bed and sort it so others don't get the issues I did! When assembled it's a great bed, my daughter loves it!

Nice comfy bed, with ample storage, the building of the end was pretty straight forwards, apart from at first I though there was no footboard, but after phoning up the store, they said that it is in a zipped compartment in the headboard, along with the vecro covering for the bottom of the bed. Building time is no more than 30 mins. The only issule I found was lineing up the mattress frame to the lift, as it took some playing around to get it even on both sides. The material of the faux leather is lovely, and just needs a light rubbed with a dusting cloth once a week to keep it looking like new. It perfect for those who have little storage and no means of putting any up.

I bought two of these a few weeks ago for my grandchildren's rooms when they visit overnight or weekends. Once the mattress is installed It is comfortable, well built and with good convenient storage space. It is easy to assemble (though there are lots of nuts and bolts to fasten along the way). The spanner supplied does the job, a bit fiddly, if you have a more substantial spanner or socket set this would be better. The pistons are difficult to compress, needing to be careful both sides of the bed are pushed down at the same time to avoid distortion, this may become easier with use. Overall I'm really satisfied with the beds and I'm content it was a value purchase.

I bought this as my son's bed needed upgrading and updating. This bed goes perfectly with his decor and looks great. I assembled myself and found the instructions could have been a bit clearer. Also a couple of pieces were missing the numbers which doesn't help. Thought the pistons were faulty and even phoned dreams about it who were going to send a new set out however having done some research online I found some different instructions for the same bed. They were much clearer that clearly explain that the pistons will not work until the mattress is put on the bed. Overall very pleased with the bed even if I did have a headache after assembly.

The 2 gentleman who delivered my bed in 3 separate boxes were on time and professional in their manner of a delivering process. 1 of them even spoke to me about my Guitars and asked me what's my favourite type or types of music? In which we consequently had a pleasant and interesting conversation about our musical tastes. I checked over with him what I should do just incase there's an issue with any of the parcels, he was sharp, quick and informative with his response. It was reassuring to me to know what to do giving the information he had gavin me, and end the process. Guy's really knew what they were doing, thank you.

Firstly the bed was easy to assemble and very very solid does not feel like a flat pack bed. It's the first ottoman bed I've had and was a bit sceptical due to the price thinking it might be weak or wobbly but this is not the case. Overalll it has to be a five start due to the quality and price Only down side is that the pistons are only good to hold the bed up for a limited wieght I think it's 45kg (not 100%) I didn't check this prior to purchase and my mattress is slightly heavier, so I have to hold the bed up to access the storage underneath. It not a major issue as it's only just overweight so it's easily held.

Great service in the shop, a nice relaxed atmosphere. There for help and guidance no pushy sales which was a nice change. I went to several shops and looked on the internet however, Dreams were the only company offering the services I needed. Delivery to the bedroom instead of the hallway, assembly service, which surprisingly many companies don't offer any more. Plus old bed taken away for a fee if required. Bed arrived on the date booked and on time. The 2 x dreams personnel were great, professional friendly service all round. Really pleased and will definitely go back to dreams in the future.

Hi Im acquiring about the metal bed frames that come with the ottoman beds , do they come fully made up or do we make that up and put the slats in ourselves ? Or I wont get the frame up my stairs

Answer: The slat systems can be delivered in different variations depending on what bed frame you are ordering. With this bed frame, the Yardley, the single version slats are delivered as one unit with the slats attached, with the double version of the slats the slats are pre assembled, but the unit is folded in half. Please look at the assembly instructions attached on the product page for a better understanding of this.Many thanks

Do you sell single beds which hook together?

Answer: We do not sell these, we do sell divan beds though which come split in half. For instance, a super king divan, comes in two pieces, each being 90cm wide (the width of the single option). These then link together to create a super king. Please note, the length of this is greater than a single (200cm vs 190cm). Thanks, Dreams.

How long would you be able to keep it for, before delivery? We are having an extension built and may not possibly be ready until the end of October. Would you be able to hold off delivery for that amount of time?

Answer: Thank you for reaching out with your question. You should be able to do this, yes. If you add the product to your basket and go to checkout, you should be able to select your preferred delivery date before having to pay. Hope this helps and please do let us know if you have any more questions. Thanks, Dreams.

Is this bed a gas or piston lift and what is the difference between them?

Answer: This has gas pistons. Essentially, there is a handle attached to the end of the frame to lift the ottoman. There are then gas pistons in the bed which keep the ottoman open, whilst accessing the storage. Thus, meaning it is easier to open than a manual lift. Many

Is the bed easy to across a carpet

Answer: This bed weighs 49.5 kgs and the ease with which it could be moved across a carpet depends on the weight of the mattress, items in the storage etc. We would also recommend setting up this bed in the position that you plan to use it! Hope this helps, Dreams.

Hi, Is the mattress included?

Answer: The mattress is not included. We have a wide range of mattresses from orthopaedic to soft to suit different types of sleepers. Therefore, you can couple any mattress and bed frame that is best for you and your room.I hope this helps and thank you for your question.

Would a mattressDouble W 135cm (53") x L 190cm (75") fit well on the double bed?

Answer: We would not recommend the mattress which you have described to be used with the Yardley double bed frame since the width of the Yardley is 148 cm and the length is 204cm. This is much bigger and therefore the mattress could slide around.
