About the Dawson Single Ottoman Sound Bed

Last checked

The Dawson Single Ottoman Sound System Bed is a uniquely designed bed frame that ingeniously marries style, comfort, and functionality, by incorporating storage space and a sound system. Upholstered in an elegant grey fabric, this bed is a showcase of innovation and practicality, promising to make an excellent addition to your bedroom.

Who is this product for?

Specially designed for over-12s, this bed is an ideal choice for those transitioning from their childhood bed to something a little more mature. Its sleek, minimalist design and innovative features make it an exciting and appealing bedroom upgrade for teenagers. The bed is also great for adults who value a mix of style, functionality and comfort in their sleeping space.

What do we use this product for?

This bed brings more than just a comfortable sleeping spot; it introduces multifunctional utilisation to your bedroom. The ottoman storage offers 24cm depth of space - ideal for tucking away extra bedding or personal items and freeing up your room from clutter. But what makes this bed truly stand out is its in-built sound system with Bluetooth connectivity. Now, you can listen to your favourite tunes or podcasts from the comfort of your bed, making the Dawson Single Ottoman Bed more than just a sleeping station.

What customers liked and disliked

From customer feedback, several points stand out. Many valued the bed's excellent quality, easy assembly, and great aesthetic appeal. Additionally, the storage space and in-built Bluetooth speakers are customer favourites, satisfying teens' and young adults' desires for a personalised and functional space.

However, despite its many advantages, some customers found the storage area's support to be flimsy, suggesting it to be suitable only for storing lightweight items. Nonetheless, the bed's design and functionality have generally impressed users, especially its Bluetooth speakers.

Features you should know about

  • The bed is upholstered in a chic grey fabric that makes it versatile to fit in any room decor.
  • The head-end is padded and houses hidden speakers for a private, immersive sound experience. It's easily paired with your devices via Bluetooth connectivity for a wireless setup.
  • The ottoman base has a deep storage space, providing ample room to store bedding or personal items.
  • The bed incorporates a sprung slat for better shock absorption and cushioned support, enhancing your sleeping comfort.

Our Review

After thorough consideration, we find that the Dawson Single Ottoman Sound System Bed offers a great value for its price. Its innovative design combines aesthetics, comfort and multifunctionality, making it not just a bed but a storage solution and entertainment centre too. The bed is stylish and easy to assemble, and its addition in a room certainly elevates the space from just a bedroom to a personal retreat. The storage issue is something we hope the creators will improve on, but overall, this bed is definitely worth considering for those seeking a stylish, functional and entertaining bedroom upgrade.


Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers copious storage space with an easy-to-operate ottoman design, highly appreciated for bedroom decluttering.
  • Features integrated Bluetooth speakers, a hit amongst music lovers for casual listening and setting alarms.
  • Boasts a sturdy yet comfortable design, praised for its impressive quality, and suitability for both kids and adults.
  • Delivers an aesthetically appealing appearance, garnering positive remarks for its smart, modern look.
  • Recognised for its value for money, with many users commending its durability and multifunctionality against its cost.

Cons

  • Those customers of a heavier build, particularly teenagers, have found the slats may not be as resilient as required, potentially leading to comfort issues.
  • While most users enjoy the benefit of the ample storage provided, some users note that the ply supports within the storage area could be a bit flimsy, so it may not be suitable for storing heavier items.
  • The assembly process, although straightforward for most, can sometimes exceed the indicated time, so patience is key when assembling this bed frame.
  • Several customers have observed that due to the ottoman design, the frame can stick out at the bottom, which can be a mild annoyance when getting in and out of bed.
  • Despite being a great fit for most mattress sizes, there could be negligible gaps at each corner with a standard mattress, which some customers have noticed.

Good looking, the wood bot that strong so you need to takecare when you move the bed. So heavy and leaves black marks on your carpet. The staff were very kind and helpful.

We were looking for a bed for our Granddaughter now shes 17. To replace her cabin bed. The Dawson ottoman bed gave us a lower bed freeing up space and creating more storage and light in her bedroom. The built in bluetooth speakers ideal for her to play tunes from her phone. All in all the bed was just right for her and resonably priced for us.

Purchased this for my teenage son. He loves it. I assembled it, which does take longer than it says in the guide but very straightforward. The space underneath is excellent and my son loves the Bluetooth which is built in.

Recently order two single beds and paid to have them assembled professionally which was worth every penny. The beds arrived quickly, assembly was great and the team were professional and polite. They also took away all packaging, both beds ready for use in 40 minutes. I would recommend and would purchase from them again in the future.!

Not the bed I went into buy, but this was the one that could be delivered in time frame I had and was delivered with no damage. The assistant in the shop was helpful and delivery team were great and a far nicer experience after dealing with bensons.

Beautiful bed, very sturdy. Due to the ottoman design, the frame sticks out at the bottom. It doesn't detract from the function of the bed, it's just annoying for my daughter when getting in and out.

We visited the Leeds Crown Point store and were greeted by a member of staff called Hayley. Who was very friendly, very helpful, and informative. She helped me to choose the bed that was right for me, and took time to explain the various options available. I'm very happy with the purchase, and would highly recommend Dreams to my friends and Family. Thanks. Toki
