Why our sleep experts loved it
Unquestionably, a child's bed is far more than just a place to sleep. It's a play area, a study desk, and a storage solution, all rolled into one. The Felix Mid Sleeper Bed Frame aims to present this multi-faceted approach with its stylish All White finish, built-in cupboards, and slide-out desk. However, is this bed merely a Jack of all trades or a true master of functional design?
How We Tested
Our testing process was conducted in a controlled showroom space, not a home environment. At the showroom, we scrutinized the construction and design of the bed, and also paid close attention to the storage options and functionality of the slide-out desk. Although it did not involve night-long sleep trials, our on-site evaluation provided an in-depth feel of the bed's attributes and various features.
Design and Features
The Felix Mid Sleeper Bed Frame comes in an All White finish, designed to complement a variety of bedroom decors. This bed boasts a slide-out desk - perfect for kids to draw, read, or complete their homework. When not in need, the desk can be efficiently tucked away, freeing up floor space. Beside space-saving credentials, this bed also prioritizes safety with cut-out handles on its sturdy ladder to aid climbing up and down.
Construction
The Felix Mid Sleeper is built for functionality, featuring integrated cupboards and shelves for storage of toys, books and other knick-knacks. However, it's the construction material that raises some concerns. The bed is made of comparatively cheaper MDF, which may not prove to be as durable and long-lasting as other materials, detracting from the overall value of the product.
Suitability
Designed to appeal to kids and meet parents' needs for storage and safety, the Felix Midsleeper is a suitable choice overall. It's robust and compliant with children's safety standards. However, it's important to remember that the limited colour options and build quality may not align with some consumers' preferences. The relatively high cost and questionable durability due to the cheaper MDF materials might be a deterrent for more price-sensitive or quality conscious customers.
What Customers Thought
Genuine reviews from buyers highlight mixed feelings about the Felix Midsleeper. Many praised the design features of the bed, particularly the slide-out desk and integrated storage options. However, others raised concerns about the construction, particularly the use of MDF, which some found less durable and prone to wear and tear.
The Verdict
While the Felix Mid Sleeper Bed Frame is undoubtedly well-designed in principle, offering a multi-purpose solution for a child's bedroom, it's the quality that is the main drawback. It indeed boasts impressive features like a slide-out desk, integrated storage, safety measures, and a stylish white finish. However, considering its relatively high cost, potential buyers will need to weigh these benefits against the lower quality MDF build and limited durability. For those determined to invest in a high-end bed, examining other offerings in the market may provide stronger contenders, both in terms of quality and value for money.
