Introduction:

Any discussion about a great bedroom often revolves around a centerpiece - a bed that combines comfort, style and practicality. Having spent a considerable time in the bedding industry, I understand the need for these elements to balance nicely. Today, I'll be taking a deep dive into an impressive example of such harmony, the Davies Upholstered Ottoman Bed Frame, and giving my thorough evaluation of this bed frame in its entirety.

How We Tested:

Before I delve into the details, let me clarify our testing methodology. Contrary to our traditional method of taking the mattress home for trial, the Davies Ottoman bed frame was analysed extensively at the local store. We evaluated the frame’s assembly process, checked the structure, feel, and finish in person, as well as had a couple of team members simulate a night's sleep to check it from a comfort perspective.

Design and Features:

The Davies Ottoman Bed Frame certainly knows how to make an impression. Its standout feature is the fluted headboard and foot end that provide the bed with depth, dimension and an appealing aesthetic. The light and dark grey tones of the soft-touch woven upholstery offer a soothing and subtly luxurious vibe, catering to different room decors and personal preferences.

Designed to serve more than just a place for tranquil rest, it's kitted with a side-opening ottoman. This turns the internal space of the bed into a 30cm deep storage unit, a boon for people looking to maximize their bedroom space. Regardless of the side you wish to access your storage from, you are covered!

Construction:

The construction brilliance continues with the Davies Ottoman providing sturdy ottoman support, ensuring the bed remains raised while in storage use. This feature reveals a stroke of practical ingenuity. Your choice predominantly depends on the level of support you want for your mattress - the standard slatted frame promoting airflow or an additional solid baseboard for more enhanced, overall support. While it nestles you comfortably, it also protects your floors from any excess weight or damage.

Suitability:

The Davies Upholstered Ottoman Bed Frame is engineered for individuals who treasure a beautiful blend of style and utility. Although I personally believe the frame is a tad pricey, its distinct features and the sleep experience it offers are tough to disregard. The bedding’s suitability stretches beyond just the sleepers to their rooms, manifesting an elegant aura and surprising with a convenient storage solution.

What Customers Thought:

Our analysis was consistent with the real-life feedback acquired from the end users of the bed. One customer quoted, "Beautiful bed, easy assembly and goes perfectly in our daughter’s bedroom," while another admired the versatility of the ottoman, stating, "The Davies ottoman frame is a great option for those looking to make the most of the space they have in their bedroom. The sleek design is perfect and will fit into any décor."

The Verdict:

In conclusion, the Davies Upholstered Ottoman Bed Frame, a newcomer in the space, makes a convincing case for itself. Although its actual runtime performance is yet to be established via long-term customer reviews and in-home trials, its initial showing is promising. The bed frame brings a modern twist to conventional bed frames. It stands out with its distinctive design backed by a comfy experience. The ottoman storage is a handy addition and the overall assembly process is reasonably uncomplicated, despite some initial confusion with the instructions. If budget isn't a primary concern for you, you may want to consider making a stylish statement with the Davies.
