About the Hattie Bed Frame
Last checked
The Hattie Bed Frame comes across, from the buyer accounts, as a low upholstered bedstead with an integrated fabric headboard, a metal internal support frame, a central rail and slats held neatly with Velcro. The low platform is the trade-off. This is not an ottoman or drawer-storage design; the space beneath is only useful for soft bags, spare duvets or shallow fabric containers, with several people finding standard plastic under-bed boxes too tall. Packing the components inside the zipped headboard is a practical delivery detail, especially for getting the frame upstairs, although it also means the single package can be heavy. The construction call is fairly clear: Velcro slats are a neat, user-friendly touch for a budget upholstered bedstead, but plastic side fixings and joints are a conservative choice where sturdier mid-tier upholstered frames more often rely on metal brackets at stress points. That distinction matters because one low-scoring account describes broken plastic joints and a dip forming through the middle, while another found the central rail legs and bolt holes poorly aligned. Positive reviews still describe the finished frame as sturdy and tidy once assembled, so the issue is less the visual design than the tolerance and connector quality underneath.
In a smaller bedroom, teenager’s room or spare room where a soft fabric look matters more than storage volume, the Hattie’s low stance and upholstered headboard make sense, and the most satisfied buyers repeatedly praise its appearance, value and the fact that it feels solid after a successful build. The style does most of the selling. Assembly feedback is split rather than uniformly bad: some pairs put it together in about an hour with clear instructions, while a recurring complaint is fiddly alignment, a heavier-than-expected box and a build that can take much longer when holes or centre supports do not sit cleanly. The under-bed gap is the other repeated friction point, because the frame looks like it offers storage but behaves more like a low-profile bedstead; duvets in bags work, rigid storage boxes often do not. Creased upholstered side panels on arrival and concerns about plastic side connectors also appear in lower-scoring accounts, so this is a better match for lighter domestic use than for anyone wanting a long-term heavy-duty frame for two larger adults. If the priority is a good-looking, low upholstered frame for modest storage and a restrained budget, this works. If the priority is robust engineering, easier assembly and meaningful under-bed storage, a higher-tier upholstered frame with metal side brackets or an ottoman base makes more sense.

Great value for money
Its a bit of a pain to put up but thats more to do with the fact that Im 60 other than anything else
Really great price, headboard is really nice quality and bed is very sturdy and looks great!
Great advice in store (leamington branch) perfect for our sons loft room
Excellent product, solid when constructed. Remember, the contents are to be found inside the head board.
Love my bed. Good quality and sturdy as well. Put it together myself, slightly fiddly when connecting the frames together at the corners, just make sure you have a 45 degree angle and then it'll work. Very comfy bed, love the headboard, and delivery was good as well. Very pleased, thank you.
bed frame is really substantial and well made - brilliantly packaged with everything zipped into the headboard
Excellent service from start to finish, bought our bed from Portland retail park, Gail who served us was very helpful and knowledgeable, delivery from the guys was spot on, the Hattie bed is great, good quality and looks good, thank you Benson for beds …
Very happy with this bed frame looks beautiful easy to awake great value for money
Delivered on time and taken to my room of choice. Easy to assemble by myself. Nice frame which can be easily moved for cleaning.
Great matress. Very comfortable. The bed frame - I want to write the frame was easy to put together, which in truth was, but with one exception,.... the bottom left leg fitting was over quarter of an inch off, which meant a deal of sticking a screw driver into the side bar and leg fitment to try to realign. After 20 minutes of prizing, swearing, prizing and more swearing (with threats of throwing the bed at the wall) the allen key bolt fitted. All it would take is to reset/test the 'body jig' and realign. If it wasn't for this issue, 5 stars would be awarded. As other reviewers have mentioned the same issue, maybe take note of reviews.
Fantastic bed at a great price. Looks more expensive than it was and is sturdy and comfortable
Great bed, was missing two headboard legs but Anthea in customer services sorted it in no time.
Great bed, very sturdy, looks quite plush for the price. Would definitely recommend.
