About the Elle Josephine Ottoman Bed Frame
Last checked
Households short on bedroom storage are the obvious audience here: the Elle Josephine is an ottoman bed frame, so the space under the sleeping platform is the point rather than a side benefit. As a format, ottoman storage is the more space-efficient storage architecture versus drawer divans, because it uses the full under-bed void rather than the perimeter sections a drawer can reach. That is a generous layout choice. It also has a trade-off: the lift mechanism and mattress platform make the base a more complex piece of furniture than a simple wooden or metal slatted bedstead, so assembly, alignment and access matter more than they would on a plain frame. Feedback supports the intended use, with the base repeatedly described as sturdy, solid and easy to lift, and the storage area treated as one of the main wins rather than a novelty. The design also seems to sit closer to the dressed-bedroom end of the register than the utility-storage end, with appearance drawing praise alongside practicality, especially where the bed is being used to make the room look more finished rather than just to hide spare bedding.
The bed earns its keep when the room lacks spare furniture. In the strongest feedback, storage is not merely capacious but easy to reach, which matters for bedding, out-of-season clothes and bulky items that drawer bases often make awkward; that matches the ottoman format rather than contradicting it. Existing mattress compatibility gets a useful nudge from a recent buyer using a memory-foam mattress without fuss, although that is a single signal, not a broad rule for very deep or exceptionally heavy mattresses. The Super King comment is also telling: extra bed size is being valued for freedom to move and foot room, so couples or taller sleepers may get more from this frame when the bedroom can take the footprint. Noise, flex and failed lifting mechanisms do not emerge as repeated complaints in this sample; the weakest scores are still broadly positive, centred on good quality and sturdiness rather than faults. The practical caution is more about ottoman ownership than a reported defect: it is a heavier, more mechanism-led answer than a static bedstead, and anyone who moves house regularly or wants quick under-bed access from one side may find drawer storage less demanding. Style-wise, the Elle Josephine suits a room where the bed is meant to look intentional as well as solve storage. For storage-hungry bedrooms wanting a sturdy, good-looking ottoman, this is the right call. For buyers prioritising the lightest build and simplest assembly, look at a basic slatted bedstead or drawer divan instead.

Specifications
Manufacturer specifications without the jargon, easy to scan and compare.
ELLE Home Branded bedframe – exclusively developed for Bensons for Beds
Exclusive development typically implies dedicated exploration and careful design optimisation specifically focused on a particular retailer. This can be beneficial in terms of product uniqueness and potentially improved quality control, however, as a downside, it may limit alternative purchasing options and price comparison opportunities for you.
Inset walnut effect feet – giving a floating illusion
Inset walnut effect feet provide an intriguing optical effect, creating the illusion that your bed is effortlessly floating above the ground. This unique design feature lends an air of modern luxury, adding a touch of class and sophistication to your bedroom setup.
Matching ELLE Home bedsides available – completing the look
Having matching bedside tables enables a more unified and stylish appearance in your bedroom setting. Moreover, it provides the convenience of easy access to essential items beside your sleeping area, enhancing your overall experience.
Sprung slatted mattress base – provides comfort, support and optimal ventilation
Curved wooden slats flex under the mattress and create gaps for airflow, letting the bed yield slightly under your weight without trapping as much warmth underneath. Very heavy mattresses may sit better on a solid platform.
5 years guarantee – for peace of mind
Enjoy lasting reassurance with the benefit of a five-year guarantee. This longevity suggestion assures safety in your purchase, giving you freedom from worry about potential structural issues over a significant period.
Side opening ottoman – an ideal storage solution, with the ability to choose which side you want to open
Gas-lift hinges raise the mattress base from one edge, letting you reach stored bedding without needing drawer clearance beside the frame. Access is awkward once that edge faces a wall.
Available in two sumptuous velvet fabrics – to match practically any home décor
Soft pile upholstery wraps the frame, bringing visible texture and a colour decision that will stand out in a plain bedroom. Dust and pressure marks show more easily on raised pile.
Narrow vertically stitched headboard design with contrasting black velvet piping around headboard and foot end – for a stylish and chic look
Slim stitched channels pull the eye upward. Dark velvet edging can collect pale dust and lint quickly, while the contrast may look overdressed in a very plain room.

The bed has added another dimension to ourbedroom.The quality is superb and the extra space of a SuperKing gives more freedom to move and bettet nights sleep. It's also longer so no more cold feet. The mattress is just right as well and the ottoman feature is great for storage.
