Why our sleep experts loved it
In the vast and varied world of bed frames, the House Beautiful Florence Velvet-Finish Shadow Ottoman Bed Frame stands distinct. A unique blend of comfort, style, and functionality, this bed frame is a contemporary triumph of interior design, brought to us from a collaboration with House Beautiful magazine. It is dressed in a grey velvet finish, intricately stitched to add a plush character to your bedroom. And if that isn't enough, it manages to cleverly mask its generously-sized storage space underneath the bed.
How we tested
Our review of the Florence bed frame was conducted in-store, giving us the opportunity to see, feel and sit on it, although, regrettably, we didn't enjoy the luxury of a home trial. We thoroughly examined the bed frame's build quality, design features, and storage capabilities. We listened to customers' thoughts and even had a personal feel and look at the aesthetics and comfort level.
Design and features
The Florence Velvet-Finish Shadow Ottoman Bed Frame is a chic embrace of modern design trends. This shadow ottoman bed comes with a soft black storage pouch beneath the sprung slats, concealed seamlessly as if the bed is clear underneath, giving the illusion of the bed floating above the floor. This unique feature sets it from other bed frames on the market.
The upholstered headboard shines in its grey velvet finish. It's not only visually satisfying but also offers a comforting and soft embrace as you lean against it. The meticulously detailed horizontal stitch detailing adds a touch of sophistication, enhancing the overall visual appeal.
The bed frame introduces itself with angled, raised feet that maintain the illusion of spaciousness. Additionally, it dons a dark wood-effect frame that contrasts brilliantly with its plush, grey headboard.
Construction
The Florence Velvet-Finish Shadow Ottoman Bed Frame is robustly built. It employs a solid base board ottoman storage, supported by a fabric pouch. The frame's sturdiness is complemented by a plush headboard that guarantees longevity while providing a snug feel. The sprung slats standard ensures better shock absorption and cushioned support, creating a comfortable sleep environment.
There is ample storage space with an internal depth of 28 cm, perfect for storing your essentials. Managed with ease, the ottoman storage lifts from the foot end, offering convenient accessibility to the storage pouch.
Suitability
Created with meticulous Scandinavian inspiration, the Florence bed frame's neutral shade proves versatile, fitting effortlessly into multiple interior design schemes. This sleek bed frame is not only a visual treat but also scores high on practicality. Impressive storage capacity coupled with a design that promotes optimal space utilization, it's an ideal choice for those facing space constraints or simply prefer an uncluttered environment.
What customers thought
While the Florence Velvet-Finish Shadow Ottoman Bed Frame has garnered numerous positive reviews, some customers have raised concerns about its long-term durability, especially in the super-king variant. The overall feedback, however, leans towards a positive front, with customers praising the bed's aesthetic appeal, storage capacity and general functionality. There are notes of appreciation for its plush, comfortable headboard, easy-to-use storage, and the overall space-efficient design. Some customers have expressed discontent with the wood-effect finish and the quality of the lift pistons.
The verdict
In conclusion, the House Beautiful Florence Velvet-Finish Shadow Ottoman Bed Frame is a bed that talks style, practicality, and comfort in equal measure. Though there are some concerns about its long-term durability and finish, its unique combination of beautiful design and high-functionality makes it an attractive choice for many. Its plush velvet headboard, discreet storage, and simplistic design are appealing points for anyone seeking aesthetics and functionality combined in a single piece of bedroom furniture.
