Why our sleep experts loved it
When it comes to bedroom furniture, the Monet Sleepmotion Adjustable Wooden Bed Frame is a veritable pièce de résistance. This four-poster bed, with its solid pine and pine veneer construction, exudes an air of grandeur that's hard to ignore. But it's not just about the looks; this bed frame is as functional as it is beautiful. Let's delve into the intricacies of this masterpiece.
Build quality
The Monet is constructed from solid pine and pine veneer, a choice that speaks volumes about its quality. The wood is not only robust but also aesthetically pleasing (we’d naturally prefer oak, but then the price would naturally double), adding a touch of rustic charm to your bedroom. The craftsmanship is evident in every inch of the frame, making it a bed that could very well become a family heirloom. Think of this one as a feature of the room and you won’t be too disappointed, those looking for something that would otherwise blend in to the room should consider something a bit more tame.
The four-poster grandeur
The four-poster design is synonymous with opulence and sophistication (which is why it works as a feature so well). It's a style that has graced the bedrooms of royalty and the elite for centuries. The Monet Sleepmotion brings this historical prestige into the modern age with its sleek, dark wooden frame with endless possibilities for customisation, imagine draping sheer fabrics or adding fairy lights to create a dreamy sanctuary for example.
The adjustable base at the heart
One of the standout features is the adjustable base, controlled via the Napp by Dreams app or a wireless remote, both of which are available and work particularly well (we’ve heard from dozens of customers across the range). With two adjustable areas for the head and feet, and Zero Gravity technology, this bed frame takes comfort to a new level. Whether you're reading, watching TV, or simply relaxing, the adjustable base conforms to your needs while providing a personalised sleep experience.
The caveats
While the Monet Sleepmotion is a marvel in many ways, particularly down to its unique design which is not typically seen anymore, it's not without its drawbacks. The most glaring is the price point. At over £1500 in its smaller sizing, this is a significant investment and could be a barrier for many. Additionally, being a new product, it lacks long-term reviews to attest to its durability, although it comes from the same brand as other well-reviewed products. The bed frame is also quite heavy and doesn't come in smaller sizes, limiting its suitability for certain spaces.
Final thoughts
The Monet Sleepmotion Adjustable Wooden Bed Frame is a luxurious addition to any bedroom, but it's not for everyone. Its high price point and the absence of smaller sizes make it a selective choice. However, if you're in the market for a bed that offers both prestige and unparalleled comfort, this could very well be the bed of your dreams.
