Why our sleep experts loved it
The Esther Ottoman TV Bed Frame elevates the concept of a bed from a mere sleeping apparatus to a comprehensive entertainment and relaxation hub, merging comfort with luxury and functionality. Imagine enveloping yourself in the embrace of plush velvet after a tiring day, switching on the integrated Sharp 43'' 4K UHD Android TV at a press of a button, and immersing yourself in the sound of the foot-end speakers, whilst your phone charges on the side. With such an amalgamation of comfort and technology, bedtime becomes something to truly look forward to.
How we tested
Our thorough examination of the Esther Ottoman TV Bed Frame took place at a local Bensons for Beds store, where we spent hours delving into every feature and detail of this bed. We were interested in not just the much-talked-about technology, but also in the bed's fundamental function - providing comfort and rest. We laid down, sat up and even tried to pretend bedtime reading, all the while examining the support this bed offers. We also studied the lift mechanism of the side-lifting ottoman, along with taking a practical look at the connectivity options and speaker output.
Design and features
The Esther Ottoman TV Bed Frame successfully strikes a balance between luxe aesthetics and functional charm. The plush velvet upholstery, available in Grey and Emerald Green, exudes a posh vibe, while the fluted, buttoned headboard is not just a visual treat, but also provides a soft backrest for daytime lounging. The striking design of this bed is supplemented by some well-planned functional elements. With auxiliary ports, USB charging points and headphone inputs located conveniently at both sides of the headboard, accessibility is clearly well thought out here. Interestingly, this is not just a stylish bed with an integrated TV; it also addresses bedroom storage challenges with its side-lifting ottoman feature, which is customisable to lift either from the left or right side.
Construction
Made with sustainable timbers, the Esther Ottoman TV Bed Frame ensures environmental responsibility does not take a back seat. The sprung-slatted mattress base offers excellent support while the luxurious velvet upholstery speaks volumes about the overall quality of construction. The bed frame format provides plenty of space for the integrated speakers and TV, without seeming clunky or excessive. Durability is also a key concern in the construction, as seen in the steady, robust lift mechanism designed to endure prolonged usage, and a five-year guarantee further backs this commitment to quality.
Suitability
This bed frame, in essence, is designed keeping various users' requirements in mind. For those who enjoy watching TV in the comfort of their beds, the Esther Ottoman TV Bed ticks the right boxes. Even for those who aren’t into so much tech, the convenience features like a USB charging point next to the bed and having ample storage space right inside the bed offer significant advantages. A broad range of users, from tech-savvy teenagers to adults who love luxury and convenience, will find this bed frame a perfect fit for their bedrooms.
What customers thought
The most appreciated aspect among many customers was the seamless integration of technology, making the Esther Ottoman TV Bed Frame a resounding hit among tech enthusiasts. The luxury velvet finish also received high praise for its opulent feel. Some customers initially expressed apprehension about the comfort of the bed considering the multitude of in-built features, but their worries quickly turned to admiration once they experienced the bed's superior comfort level. A few customers did express some minor concerns about the weight of the bed, especially when moving it around. However, most customers felt that the benefits far outweigh this minor issue.
The verdict
The Esther Ottoman TV Bed Frame pushes the boundaries of what a bed can offer. Undeniably it is at the higher end of the price range, but when you consider the plethora of features and the magnificent luxury it oozes, one can easily see this product justifies its price point. Yes, it is possibly not suitable for everyone; if you prefer minimalistic designs and do not require the extensive features, then this may not be the product for you. However, for anyone with an inclination towards luxury and a love for technology, this bed frame presents a compelling case. It seems to redefine the parameters of comfort, utility and design, merging them into one product that proudly stands in a league of its own. As far as our reviews go, this one is a definite winner.
