About the Davies Upholstered Ottoman Bed Frame
Last checked
Storage is the point of this frame. The Davies is an upholstered ottoman rather than a drawer divan or plain slatted bedstead, pairing a fluted padded headboard and matching foot end with soft-touch woven fabric in grey tones. The useful figure in the spec is the 30cm underbed storage depth: that is practical for spare bedding, seasonal clothing and bulky soft items, though it is not the same proposition as a fully boarded storage box. A fabric-reinforced base is an honest mid-tier compromise for this class, protecting the floor and keeping stored items contained, but it sits below heavier timber ottomans where the storage well feels more like built-in furniture. The side-lift arrangement is also more furniture-like than simple drawer storage, because it gives access to one large bay instead of dividing the space into shallow compartments; the trade-off is that access depends on having usable clearance on the chosen side. A support bar holds the mattress raised while the ottoman is open, which is the right safety feature for a gas-lift storage bed at this level.
This suits a main bedroom where hidden storage and a soft, modern headboard matter more than exposed timber grain or minimalist metalwork. Buyers repeatedly praise the Davies for looking smarter than a basic storage frame, with several accounts describing the upholstery, stitching and fluted shape as modern, tidy and more substantial than expected once assembled. Storage is the strongest repeated praise point. The 30cm ottoman cavity matches that feedback, because an open lift-up bay is better suited to duvets, pillows and out-of-season clothing than standard drawers, especially in rooms where extra wardrobes would crowd the space. Assembly feedback is mostly positive, with a few saying the frame went together clearly, although one longer account found it took over two hours and was easier with a sturdier Allen key; the lift can also feel stiff at first before easing with use. The polished upholstery does not remove every build concern: weaker accounts include flimsy-feeling wood, incorrect base instructions and, more seriously, a mattress fit problem where gaps let pillows and the mattress shift, so anyone pairing it with a deep or non-standard mattress should be more cautious than the lifestyle photography suggests. For storage-led bedrooms needing a soft contemporary frame, this is the right call. For those prioritising solid-timber heft or stricter mattress containment, look to a higher-price wooden ottoman tier instead.

Sleek and elegant, this comfy bed frame boasts ample storage and it's quality upholstered finish adds a touch of luxury to any bedroom. A well-made and highly functional piece.
Loads of storage underneath, nice design
The most comfortable bed we have ever had mattress is firm and comfortable
Excellent service and product. One part of bedframe is damaged but Dreams arranged another visit to replace and repair shortly within a week.
Excellent side opening ottoman. Surprisingly easy to open and has a safety bar to keep it open. Advantage over our other ottoman bed purchased from Furniture Village! The padded finish is really nice, and feels like itll last. The base of the ottoman is the only let down, albeit thats more because we are used to it being solid vs fabric. However this is reflected in the price (and is clearly stated in the description). Several compliments from our guests.
Im super happy with the bed its great quality and the ottoman is easy to use with plenty of space for storage
The is everything I have expected good quality and looks beautiful this is my 3rd purchase from dreams it never disappoints
Lovely looking bed and plenty of storage space. I haven't used it myself as it's for my spare bedroom. But I have been told it's comfy
Great bed for the money, very sturdy and to he honest, looks better in person. Couldn't recommend it enough!
Fabulous bed with easy to put together instructions, delivery guys were great! Told us exactly which stuff was in each box and put it in the hallway for us when it was raining. We went for the dark grey which was slightly more of a bluey grey than expected but still nice. We had the no slats option which is great! And feels very secure
Amazing storage and design
I have bought the whole set and love it
Beautiful bed, very sturdy and well worth the money. Definitely recommend
For the past few years my old bed was becoming increasingly uncomfortable with lumps, bumps & creaking. Decided to make the purchase of the ottoman as I wanted to downsize & have a storage solution. What a solution it was ! Self assembled which was easily executed due to the comprehensive instructions; it provides an amazing amount of under bed storage which has given me my bedroom back ! Overall a 10/10 product which I would recommend to anyone in a similar position.
The bed is lovely and comfortable
