Pros & Cons

Here we collect tests, guides and product reviews so that you can create a picture of what others think about the product. This analysis and review is based on my experience and a decade of industry insight.

Velvet Finish: The velvet fabric is frequently mentioned as giving the bed a high-end feel.

Headboard Design: Quilt stitch and chevron detailing on the headboard are unique and well-received.

Color: The navy and muted blue colours are described as lovely and elegant, adding to the bed's aesthetic appeal.

Storage: Ottoman feature is lauded for providing ample storage space. It's described as sturdy and easy to use, although some customers noted that the fabric handle used for lifting could be stronger.

Support Bar: The frame includes a support bar that keeps the ottoman system in place when open, which customers appreciate.

Sturdiness: Described as sturdy and of great quality.

Ease of Assembly: Most customers found the bed easy to assemble, and some opted for professional assembly services.

Delivery: Delivery service is generally praised for its punctuality and reliability.

Durability Concerns: The strap used for lifting the ottoman storage feature has been described as weak by some customers. When lifting the bed to access the storage, the strap reportedly makes a sound as if it's slowly ripping. This could be a significant issue over time, as frequent use may lead to the strap breaking.

Customer Service: While the store generally received high praise for customer service, the fact that the missing parts issue has not been sorted out for at least one customer indicates room for improvement in post-sale support.

It is always difficult buying online without actually seeing the product or trying it out but I really liked the look of this bed and I wasn't disappointed when it was delivered. I had previously popped into the East Kilbride depot for help on an ottoman bed as I hadn't had one before, the man there explained everything in detail and was extremely helpful showing me a number of options, so much so he helped me to make up my mind to purchase the Jay Velvet finish Ottoman Bed Frame. The bed is currently being used in our guest bedroom and as yet hasn't been used so I can't comment on whether it or the new mattress I purchased from Dreams is comfortable or not but I can confirm that the bed itself is absolutely solid, it has lots of space underneath for storage and I along with everyone else who has saw it agrees that it looks great, very expensive and fits in with our room dcor beautifully.

Really lovely bed, the ottoman feature is very sturdy and I like the support bar that is there to keep the system in place when open. The frame sits flush with the floor which I like as it will stop dust from gathering under the bead which would happen even with a small gap. The colour is lovely, a muted blue so bold but not garish. There are a lot of velvet beds on the market but this is the only one I have seen with the chevron detailing and it was what made it stand out from the rest. Really happy with the purchase.

A beautiful, well made bed frame. The headboard is beautifully designed with a thick padded velour material. The complete base is covered in the material too. It looks stunning. I was dubiois that the ottoman does not have a hard base, instead the lining is velcroed onto the interiir of the base, but i actually think this maybe better, giving extra depth for storage and easy to clean. Very pleased with my purchase and would highly recommend.

The headboard is a bit wobbly regardless of how tight you do the bolts. Mine also came with a scuff and stain on the headboard even with all the packaging in tact. I sprung for the hard board bottom and with the mattress on, even with the pistons, its still really tough to open and close. Might loosen over time, but for now its not easy.

The Jay bed frame is a fantastic addition to the Dreams House Beautiful range. The quilt stitch design in the headboard is different enough to really stand out without being an over dominant feature. The velvet fabric has quite a short pile which gives a really high end feel and really compliments the 2 colours on offer.

Lovely bed. Nice, smooth ottoman function. Just be careful with the strap that you use to pull the bed up - its quite weak. But if you just use the gaps to pull the bed up, its great. I bought it for storage purposes and theres plenty of that.

Fabulous bed that is sturdy and elegant looking. Its a very dark navy blue colour. The only flaw is the handle used to lift the ottoman feature is made out of fabric, and this does sound like its slowly ripping when its getting lifted up.

What Makes The House Beautiful Jay Velvet-Finish Ottoman Bed Frame Great?

We've expanded on the specifications of the product to better help you understand it's benefits.

Rest easy with a 1-year guarantee

A one year guarantee is suitable for many as the vast majority of problems that may occur often do so within that first year. At the same time, more and more retailers are beginning to offer multi-year warranty and guarantees although these often come at a slightly higher price point on average.

End-opening ottoman offers additional storage

The ottoman is constructed with a sturdy and durable frame, allowing it to support the weight of the seat and any items you choose to store inside. The end-opening design ensures easy access to the storage compartment, allowing you to quickly and effortlessly retrieve or store your belongings.

Slatted frame cushions your mattress

Slatted bed frames offer a level of flexibility that adjusts to your body's contours. As you move during sleep, the slats provide slight give and adapt to your body's movements, providing optimal support. This dynamic support promotes a more comfortable and restful sleep experience.

Add a solid baseboard for enhanced support

The solid baseboard acts as a sturdy platform for your mattress, offering even weight distribution and preventing sagging or shifting over time. It helps maintain the integrity of the mattress, allowing you to enjoy a comfortable and supportive sleep surface.

Designed in collaboration with House Beautiful

House Beautiful is a longstanding interior design and home decorating magazine based in the United States. Established in 1896, the publication offers tips, inspiration, and advice on topics like colour schemes, furniture selection, and home renovation.

Plush padded headboard with chevron pattern

One of the primary benefits of a padded headboard is the added comfort and support it provides. When sitting up in bed, the padded surface offers a cushioned backing, allowing you to lean back comfortably and relax.

Fully upholstered in rich velvet-touch fabric, in your choice of colours

In addition to reducing noise, upholstered furniture can absorb sound within a room, contributing to better acoustics. This is especially valuable in large or open spaces where sound can echo or reverberate.

Ottoman support bar keeps the bed raised while in use

When the bed is opened, the support bar keeps the bed raised and prevents it from closing unintentionally, which can ensure your safety while you are accessing the storage area.

Storage depth of 31.5cm
