About the Dream Team Ottoman Divan Bed Base
Last checked
Space-poor households are the obvious target here: the Dream Team Ottoman Divan Bed Base is a front-opening upholstered divan, not a slatted bedstead, so the mattress sits on a boxed base with storage underneath rather than on exposed timber slats. The key figure is the 25cm storage depth, which is a genuinely useful allowance in this divan class; compared with drawer divans, the ottoman format is more practical for bulky spare bedding, seasonal clothing and children’s clutter, though it asks more of the lift mechanism and the person opening it. It is a storage-first base. The fabric choice also nudges it above plain contract-style divans, with velveteen and textured-weave options giving more room to match a bedroom scheme than a basic grey-only base. Chrome glides keep the look low and tidy, but they are a functional support detail rather than a decorative leg set, so this remains closer to a practical upholstered storage base than a showpiece frame. The conservative part of the spec is the platform-divan construction itself: there is no sprung-slat story or visible timber frame to sell here, just the promise of a stable, covered foundation and a large internal cavity.
Buyers trying to reclaim cupboard space get the strongest match, and the happiest accounts repeatedly describe the storage as the reason the bed changes how the room works, with several noting that the lift is straightforward once the mattress is on and that the base feels sturdy in normal use. Heavy mattresses change the experience. A recurring complaint is less about the ottoman idea than manufacturing accuracy: misaligned halves, bolt holes failing to meet, damaged bases and replacement mix-ups appear across low-scoring feedback, while another current criticism is that some fixing points feel unfinished for a product positioned as a more premium divan. The spec’s sturdy-supportive claim is therefore best read as conditional on receiving a well-built, correctly assembled unit; where the base is right, the 25cm front-opening cavity does what drawer storage cannot, but when alignment or top-board finish is poor, the practical advantage is undermined. It suits main bedrooms, teenager rooms and compact homes where bedding, toys or clothes need hiding without leaving clearance for side drawers, although anyone expecting frequent daily access should factor in the effort of lifting against mattress weight and the awkwardness of moving a loaded divan. If you're short on storage and want a fabric divan that keeps a room tidy, this works. If you're prioritising precision joinery, reinforced platform feel and fewer assembly variables, a heavier-duty ottoman frame in the higher price tier makes more sense.

Specifications
Manufacturer specifications without the jargon, easy to scan and compare.
Made locally in the UK - British craftsmanship at its finest
Expertly crafted locally, this specification ensures exceptional quality and supports local industry. Buying products made in the UK often results in superior durability and reduced environmental impact due to shorter transportation distances.
Solid platform top base - offers sturdy mattress support
Expect a firmer, steadier feel with fewer dips, which can help a mattress keep its shape and feel consistent. Airflow under the bed may be lower than with slats, so heat and moisture can build up more in warm rooms or with foam mattresses.
FSC accredited wood - sustainably sourced for a greener future
This product feature indicates that the wood used is sourced in an environmentally responsible manner. It supports sustainable forestry practices, contributing to forest conservation and a reduced ecological footprint.
Soft velvet-touch finish - for a luxuriously smooth feel
A soft velvet-touch finish creates a luxuriously smooth and inviting surface that adds a touch of elegance to any room. The material's plush feel enhances comfort and provides a lavish aesthetic to the décor.

Brilliantly built with sleek design and ample storage. The fabric finishing is a class apart, it's well worth the price.
Very easy to open, not too heavy.
See my review of the headboard both bought together and reviewed as one - the bed and the headboard
Dreams never disappoints. 3rd purchase from them and beds are always good build quality and materials. They have a lot of colour choices and very good for storage. Highly recommended
Plenty spaces for storage, safety design
Great storage space and easy to lift and close.
Awesome bed! Amazing design
Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish
So happy with my new bed and the storage in the ottoman bed Also the service I received was amazing
Good quality bed with good storage capacity. The storage is made of strong and heavy wood (think its rosewood). Installed perfectly by the delivery guys who were friendly and professional.
Superb functioning ottoman! So easy to use and keep storage dust free. Solid base that doesnt move when we move. In a beautiful range of timeless colours. We were able to customise the headboard so it fit beneath shelves we already had above the bed.
The products were very good
This bed is great quality. Its definitely sturdier than the cheaper options and it provides great space with the Ottoman.
Sturdy and well designed Ottoman Divan
Georgous quality with ample storage for my suitcases and other bits and bobs
Decent bed, I went for the blush colour, which is a pale pink colour. Material is good quality. Plenty of space underneath and I like that the base is in 2 halves so that you can store things separately. Only thing I would say is when you lift it up, its doesnt feel sturdy, it does feel as though it is flimsy. Other than that I love it.
Early days but love it so far
Amazing super king colour gorgeous
Purchased ottoman style divan bed. Easy to open and close. Lovely wearable fabric.
I am very happy with this Ottoman Base. Excellent storage space and very easy to open. Lots of space for sheets, bedspreads, blankets and duvets etc. Dont know why I didnt buy one years ago. Releases lots of space in cupboards.
