About the Fabric Ottoman Footstool
Last checked
As a companion piece for a sofa bed, chair or bedroom reading corner, the Dreams Fabric Ottoman Footstool is a small upholstered storage seat rather than a full-scale storage chest. The useful detail is the pocket-sprung top: for this kind of footstool, that is more generous than the foam-only lids common on low-cost upholstered cubes, and it should give the surface a more seat-like feel without pretending to offer armchair-level support. The cover is a soft-touch woven fabric, which puts it in the relaxed, modern upholstery camp rather than the glossy faux-leather or hard painted-wood register. Storage is the practical attraction. The lift-up ottoman compartment is best read as a place for throws, spare cushions or guest bedding overflow, not as a wardrobe substitute, especially with no dimensions supplied to suggest deep blanket-box capacity. No assembly is the quiet win here: compared with flat-pack bedroom furniture, a ready-made footstool removes the usual alignment and hinge-fitting faff, although the one-year guarantee is fairly basic for upholstered furniture expected to take regular sitting, lifting and foot-rest use.
In a spare room, studio flat or lounge-bedroom set-up, this footstool works best as a soft perch and storage add-on beside the matching Dreams upholstered pieces, particularly where a hard-edged chest would make the room feel too crowded. Feedback attached to the range repeatedly praises the soft fabric feel, tidy small-room look and useful storage for bedding, so the woven cover and ottoman compartment match the parts people tend to like rather than feeling like decorative extras. Comfort is a repeated positive. Criticism clusters around fabric arriving marked, slow problem resolution and, on the matching sofa bed, pull-out sections sticking, slipping off track or feeling flimsier than expected; the mechanism issue belongs to the sofa bed rather than this no-assembly footstool, but it does put more weight on checking delivery condition and general finish early. The softer upholstered build should suit light daily use, guest bedding storage and feet-up lounging, while households needing a hard-wearing main seat or serious hidden storage capacity should step up to a larger, fully framed ottoman bench or a higher furniture tier with stronger upholstery and longer cover.

Bought thia sofa bed a couple of months back and very happy with the results. It looks just like the pictures and is a great colour. The cushions also fir very well which came with the sofa bed. So easy and light to pull into a bed and feels very secure. I had a friend stay over who said it was very comfortable to sleep on !
I bought this a month ago. So far so good. Very comfortable sofa. Head rest could be higher but definitely recommend this.
I brought this corner sofa bed for our spare room and I am really happy with the quality of the product. It is really easy to open up into a bed and the storage unit is perfect for keeping the bedding in. The service was all excellent especially the delivery! I would definitely recommend this product!
We have had this sofa bed a little under a month now and it is great. The only flaw is that it isn't the comfiest but it is getting comfier as time goes on.
Lovely Sofa Bed. Very comfortable (quite firm, but we like that). Beautiful colour and storage is great. Very easy to make into a bed. Sofa Bed arrived on day specified.
Bought this sofa a few weeks ago now for a spare room / cinema room. Not had chance to use it as a bed yet, but it makes a great sofa for everyone to put their feet up and kick back to a film. My sister bought the same one about 6 months before for their snug room, and she is also more than happy with it. Really easy to assemble, and packed well. Thanks Dreams.
Very comfortable and robust sofa bed. Amazing service from Dreams. Very pleased.
This is great and comfortable sofa bed. Looks beautiful and the quality is very good.
I bought this product a week ago and the product is good however when you pay over £700 for a sofa you expect very good quality and this sofa somehow does not feel so strong as I was expecting. I am only keeping it because I bought the insurance at the time of the purchase. Also there was a staple sticking out which hurt my son when we were unpacking. In addition, the advertised changeable chaise end seems to be fixed to the right.
We bought this sofa bed after comparing similar ikea models. Felt it was better constructed and would last longer. Have had it for about a month, guests say its comfortable although we have added a mattress topper for extra cushioning. Not sure if I would have paid full price, but we purchased on sale which dreams have pretty regularly.
Lovely sofa bed feels sturdy and well made. The pull out part of the sofa bed seems to come off the tracks every time you pull it out which then has to be re aligned before you can push it back in which is annoying but other than that a great sofa bed
This is a really decent sofa, I'm super happy with it, quality at the highest standard
Very comfy and great way to save space for those times you want to provide guest sleeping arrangements
Good sized sofa bed very firm as a bed but comfortable settee
Couch is very comfortable and easy to convert into and out of sofabed mode. It is also fantastic to use the sofabed extension pulled out but not raised as a lower seat.
Lovely sofa, premium feel, quite a firm base (which was perfect for me).
Iam very happy with the corner sofa I bought and the shop staff and delivery men were friendly and helpful.
This is a nice 3 seater. There is storage and a bed stored which is handy. Also the fabric is stain resistant (coffee spil was not visible) great seater for families with not a too large living room but still wish a reasonable size couch.
Bought this just over a month ago, really happy with the purchase. On time delivery, easy to put together, good out of the way storage compartment and most importantly really comfy.
Arrived on time with delivery drivers very communicative. Very easy to assemble, comfortable and easy to convert in to a bed and back again. Would definitely recommend.
