Finding the perfect sleep is something we can all struggle with – but I think I’ve discovered the perfect solution combining both style and practicality for a good price
As if coming back from holiday isn’t bad enough, there’s one aspect that’s even more difficult to let go of than the destination – the perfect sleep.
There is nothing quite like the beds you encounter on holiday. Ultimate comfort and relaxation that can only be achieved while away from your home life. That is, of course, until now. The Hazel Ottoman Bed Frame from Bensons for Beds is the perfect answer to the ultimate comfort.
The frame strikes a great balance between looks and practical bedroom storage. The gently curved headboard with piped border detailing gives off an elegant, high-end feel while remaining subtle. It comes in two woven fabric options – a light, Cream and a modern, versatile Slate Grey . The textured weave adds real warmth to your decor, making it easy to style whether your room’s vibe is cosy or minimalist.
Adding to this, if you’re looking for a great Cotswolds style bed that wouldn’t look out of place in a stone cottage, this is the perfect and affordable option.
As an ottoman bed, its biggest selling point is naturally the under-bed storage compartment. The so-called front-lifting gas-hydraulics do the heavy lifting for you, giving you full access to the floor-level space underneath.
It’s ideal for stashing away extra duvets, seasonal clothing, or bulky luggage without taking up precious floor space for an extra chest of drawers. The lift mechanism feels sturdy once weighted with a mattress, so you don’t have to wrestle it open every time you need something.
The putting together process seems daunting at first, but quickly begins to make sense once you get stuck in. It came with the perfect amount of parts and clear instructions.
Do not panic like I did when first putting it together. The base will not lift or go down unless a mattress is placed on to. This is part of the design and nothing to worry about.
Like most bed frames, assembling it takes time and is definitely a two-person job, though the instructions are straightforward enough.
Something practical to keep in mind – while the textured fabric looks fantastic, woven fabrics can catch lint or pet hair a bit more easily than smooth velvet or leather options. But who could resist with the smart design.
Underneath the surface, the frame uses a sprung slatted base. Unlike rigid flat slats of other models, these have a natural flex. They react to your body weight to offer tailored support, help absorb movement, and extend the lifespan of your mattress by improving airflow.
There are just a few practical things to keep in mind before buying.
If you are struggling with limited bedroom storage and want to incorporate the ultimate stylish design, the Hazel Ottoman is the perfect choice. Coupled with Bensons’ standard 5-year guarantee , it’s a reliable, stylish investment piece that easily earns its keep.
