Why our sleep experts loved it
I got my hands on the Yardley Upholstered Ottoman Bed Frame in Dreams and it’s a luxurious looking bed frame with an easy to assemble design. It is made from a faux leather material (or fabric if you prefer).
In person, the faux leather has that slightly grained finish that feels pretty convincing, and it wiped clean easily when I ran my hand over it. The fabric option in grey is timeless and goes with much of todays decor, but it will show lint and marks quicker than the faux leather, so bear that in mind if you’ve got pets or kids. The addition of the ottoman gas lifts allows you to open the storage compartment at the foot of the bed for additional storage space, and when I lifted it up it felt nicely controlled rather than springing up too fast. That said, you do need a bit of clearance at the foot end to use it comfortably, and once it’s loaded up with bedding it’s not quite as effortless to lift as it is empty.
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%.
My only real gripe is that, for the money, I’d like to see a bit more attention to the small practical bits, like proper handles for lifting and moving it around, because it’s not something you’ll want to shift once it’s built. Also, if you’re expecting the same feel as real leather, you’ll notice the difference up close, it looks the part, but it doesn’t have that natural softness.
