About the Delaware Upholstered Sleigh Bed Frame
Last checked
For buyers drawn to a traditional, dressed bed rather than a plain platform frame, the Delaware is very much a sleigh-frame piece: upholstered side rails, a scrolled headboard, a curved foot end and oak-tone feet, with a choice of wool-touch fabric or leather-look PU. The material mix is honest mid-tier upholstery rather than solid timber luxury; against a simple wooden bedstead or metal frame, the money is going into shape, padding and storage concealment, not exposed hardwood. Its main practical feature is the foot-end drawer, tucked into the curve and running on castors, which makes it less intrusive than side drawers in tight bedside spaces but less capacious than a full ottoman base that lifts the whole mattress platform. The storage trade-off is clear. The sleigh profile also means the frame occupies more visual and floor space than the mattress size suggests, because the head and foot do not sit flush like a divan. The storage design suits spare bedding, throws or seasonal clothing; it will not replace under-bed clearance for bulky boxes, and it removes the open space beneath the bed entirely.
The slatted, upholstered build is the point of the feedback: praise tends to cluster around sturdiness, the polished look of the light grey fabric, and the way the end drawer disappears when closed. Several buyers found assembly straightforward enough, although longer comments make clear it can take time and the finished frame is awkward to shift once built; the low-score grumbles are not about flimsy construction so much as bulk, weight and one drawer that caught at the sides. The listed grey finish reads closer to white in use, which has been treated as a decorating advantage rather than a mismatch, and the wipe-clean leather-look option suits homes where paws, dust or children make fabric more work. Smaller rooms need caution here. More than one buyer found the king frame longer than the previous king, which matches the spec logic of a curved headboard and footboard adding footprint beyond the mattress. Couples wanting a solid-feeling statement frame are likely to be well served, especially where drawer access from the foot is easier than side access, but anyone trying to maximise storage per square foot will get more usable volume from an ottoman bed, and anyone who moves furniture often may find this too heavy and sculptural for easy rearranging. If the brief is a classic upholstered sleigh bed with hidden bedding storage and room around the foot end, this works. If floor space or maximum storage is the priority, a slimmer divan base or full ottoman storage bed makes more sense.

Lovely sleigh-style frame with a comfy upholstered feel and a surprisingly handy drawer at the end, and its been solid and quiet so far.
Very impressed with the classic charm and high-quality upholstery. The bonus storage drawer and sturdy slats are just perfect.
The bed looks stunning and is so easy to clean and wipe down when our dogs get dirt on it
Excellent bed frame, easy enough to assemble for a novice
A classic yet stylish bedframe offering drawer storage in the foot end. The drawer neatly tucks away so it is barely visible when closed. The fabric has a wool look and feel that will compliment any room décor comfortably. The brown leather-look option is also a very stylish choice that's endlessly versatile.
Absolutely thrilled with this purchase! The upholstered finish looks premium and has totally transformed the look of my room. Beyond the looks, the support is fantastic—my mattress feels much more stable than it did on my old frame. Its sturdy, silent, and looks much more expensive than it was. The assembly was straight forward with clear instructions.
absolutely love the base and colour..able to fit well due to easy instructions
Great bed. So comfortable, sturdy, and good for storage.
Absolutely so well made for the price paid is unbelievable. The look of the sleigh bed really compliments our room. The faux leather look is exceptional and, the storage at the bottom of the bed is a whole lot bigger than originally thought. We chose to set the bed up ourselves and the instructions were really easy to understand on follow.
love the bed and mattress. Great servive from the guys who delivered and instaled
Love my new bed-frame, its stylish & the lovely headboard is comfortable to lean on. And it has an added extra large drawer to pull out at the end of the bed…
Good solid bed frame if you make sure everything is tight - the bottom of the drawer was taped to the bottom of one box and i missed it at first.
Easy to build and good quality Looks lovely in the grey
good quality bed, the feel and colour look great in our room
