About the Deacon Upholstered Ottoman Bed Frame
Last checked
Storage is the Deacon’s organising principle. It is an upholstered ottoman bed frame with a button-detailed headboard, soft-touch fabric options and an enhanced sprung-slat lifting deck, so the visual register is closer to a dressed hotel-style bed than a plain wooden or metal bedstead. The engineering choice is more interesting than the styling: a sprung-slat lift deck is a comfort-leaning, on-tier solution for upholstered ottomans, giving more flex than a boarded platform while adding more joints and fixings than a static slatted frame. The support bar that holds the ottoman open is a practical safety detail, especially because the whole mattress platform lifts as one piece rather than offering smaller drawer sections. That trade-off is storage first, convenience second. Compared with drawer divans, this format offers cleaner access to bulky bedding and out-of-season items, but it also asks more of the lift mechanism and of whoever is raising it. The fabric and buttoning are not rare materials, but they give this storage-led frame enough presence for the headboard to read as part of the furniture rather than an afterthought.
A bedroom short on cupboard space is where the Deacon earns affection: happier accounts repeatedly focus on the large under-bed bay, the standout headboard and the way the soft fabric makes the frame feel more finished than utilitarian. Several also describe assembly as manageable in roughly an evening, although the four large boxes and heavy lifting make a second pair of hands sensible, particularly in smaller rooms. Hair is the fabric penalty. Low-scoring feedback repeatedly says the upholstery traps pet or household hair and needs constant lint-rolling, which cuts against the easy-care impression a soft-touch fabric can create on the product page. Noise is the more serious complaint for couples: multiple accounts describe creaking from the slats or frame that worsened within months, and one damaged lift mechanism shows why ottoman hardware matters as much as appearance. The stiff hydraulic action also divides the audience, because the generous storage is less useful if one partner cannot lift the platform confidently with a heavy mattress sitting on it. If a storage-heavy, statement upholstered bed is the priority, this works; if quiet long-term slat behaviour, hair-resistant fabric or light one-handed access matters more, a sturdier ottoman from the higher-spec upholstered tier makes more sense.

This bed frame feels solid and has a plush look thanks to the soft fabric and button detailing. The ottoman function offers a generous amount of storage space, ideal for keeping things tidy.
Changes my whole room!! Absolutely in love with my new bed, looks so luxurious
I bought this bed 5 years ago, and I still love it to this day. Its amazing quality and it looks beautiful in our bedroom. I would agree with other reviews that it attracts dust and hair but regular lint rolling and vacuuming keeps on top of it so I wouldnt let that put you off.
Gorgeous bed, very sturdy and beautiful design. Brilliant storage too. Highly recommend paying for it to be built its a huge bed!
Deacon Ottoman Double Bed Frame
Luxury, feels like Im in a hotel every night. Fabulous quality and so comfortable. Amazing amount of storage
The Deacon Upholstered Ottoman Bed Frame from Dreams has transformed our bedroom into a stylish and organized retreat. The high headboard with its button detailing adds a touch of luxury, making it a standout feature. The sleek, modern silhouette paired with the upholstered finish instantly elevated the look of our bedroom. Its both contemporary and timeless, effortlessly tying the whole space together. The build quality is equally impressive. It feels solid and sturdy, with no creaks or wobbling—just a well-crafted frame that gives off a premium feel. The lift mechanism for the ottoman storage is smooth and surprisingly easy to use. I was genuinely impressed by how much space it offers underneath—its like having an extra closet, but completely hidden in plain sight.
Perfect to provide a comfortable bed for guests and store the other season duvets, bed linen etc
Beautiful bed, just what I was looking for! Lovely neutral colour, ottoman easy lift and lots of storage, really comfy
I love this bed, I got the beige ottoman double bed and the style is gorgeous, exactly as shown in the pictures. And it was okay to put together, although the instructions could be a bit better. There is also great storage underneath to fit cases, boxes etc.
This bed is perfect for storage and the headboard makes it so comfortable as well
Great delivery service! They were really caring of my house and followed the delivery policy. I recommend paying a bit more to have it assembled but we still managed to do it in the end. If you do assemble it yourself, you may need 3 people as it requires two people to hold the bed and one person to screw it together.
Beautifully constructed, simple instructions, easy for one person to put together with relative ease. Looks stylish and expensive, tons of room in the ottoman.
This is the best bed I have ever had, it is a great style and looks a lot more expensive than it was. I would definitely recommend
Lovely product, easy to open and close with solid base.
This is a gorgeous bed. I love the proportions and the cream linen style fabric is exactly what we were looking for. Delivery team were great as it was no easy feet getting a super king upstairs. Straight forward to put together and the extra storage is great.
Super happy with my bed choice! Alongside a gel topped mattress, I am having the best sleep I have had in years! The Deacon Bed Frame looks amazing and having chose the ottoman, this has made it a useable area for storage too :)
Fantastic and gets better and better every night that I sleep on it :) lots of room underneath for storage
so much storage space in the box unit under the bed
Really classy and so nice! I was torn between this one and one with wings, so glad I went for this one in the end! Super easy to clean as well! I got a new dreams own brand mattress to go with it! I feel like I am well and truly in dream land.
