About the Hayden Platform Ottoman Bed Frame
Last checked
The Hayden’s main trick is hiding ottoman storage inside a low, Scandi-leaning platform frame rather than making the bed look like a bulky storage unit. The format suits storage-led rooms. Its end-opening lift gives access from the foot of the bed, so it is more useful where bedside clearance is tight than a drawer divan, although it still needs enough space at the foot for comfortable loading. The strutted wooden headboard, offered in white or natural oak, is the design anchor: slimmer and calmer than a padded wingback, more decorative than a plain metal frame, and aimed at modern bedrooms where the bed should sit low rather than dominate the wall. An end-lift ottoman in this kind of minimalist wooden look is a sensible spec for the mid-market storage-bed tier; compared with fixed platform beds it adds real utility, but compared with drawer bases it relies more heavily on hinges, gas-lift hardware and accurate assembly. The customer trail backs that up, with the frame repeatedly described as sturdy once built, while the delivered packages and hydraulic connection make it feel like a two-person job rather than a quick solo flat-pack.
In a compact bedroom, the Hayden works best for someone trying to store spare bedding, towels or seasonal clothes without moving to a divan base or adding freestanding boxes under the bed. The storage is the repeated win. Praise clusters around the clean look, the amount of usable space under the sleeping deck and the sense that the frame feels better made than expected for the price band, which lines up with the heavier, more substantial construction described during assembly. Assembly is the recurring patience test. Several buyers describe the instructions as manageable but the process as time-consuming, particularly when connecting the frame to the lift mechanism, and the ottoman hardware is also where the complaints concentrate: one recurring niggle is stiffness or movement in the metal arm, with a more recent comment describing enough wobble to remove the arm altogether. A damaged wooden part on arrival appears as a one-off rather than the dominant pattern, but it does underline that the finish is part of the appeal and marks will be more visible than on a fully upholstered frame. The Hayden lands well for style-conscious small-room storage and for households happy to build carefully with two people; anyone wanting silent, fuss-free hardware from day one or a bed that can be assembled and moved easily is better served by a fixed wooden platform, or by moving into a heavier-duty ottoman tier.

Impressive modern design, with a laidback appearance. Sprung slats offer comfort while the internal ottoman storage saves space efficiently.
Great quality! The space underneath the bed is hug.
Love how it looks, and construction feels well made. Easy to operate and loads of storage underneath.
We love the colour and style which fits into our mid century modern scandi style place. Ample storage underneath which is an added bonus.
A pretty good bed frame. Looks great in the bedroom and is very well made. Comfortable to sleep on. The one issue I've discovered so far is that the metal arm that holds the bed up can wobble quite a lot when you try to sleep (or do something else!), so we had to remove it.
Very attractive but corners stick out slightly so must be mindful when walking past
I'd definitely buy this again. It has an understated look, and fits well with other wooden furniture. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is because the closing mechanism is quite stiff, maybe because it's still quite new. The Dreams mattress was instantly comfortable - definitely happy with that.
Beautiful bed and the storage space is very handy too. Bit laborious to assemble but the instructions were easy to follow.
I was looking for a new bed frame that was lower than my current one but still high enough for me to get into and out off easily. My choice has turned oyt to be perfect with the added space saving lift up top goving me lots of storage space. I really love it
Really solid bed frame, put together quickly and looks great
The bed is exactly what we wanted. It looks good and the accompanying mattress is more than suitable for our needs. The build was not too taxing either, however, I would recommend having two people are required to put it together. The only issue I imagine I wouldve faced alone wouldve been connecting the frame to the hydraulics.
Lovely bed, underneath had lots of space to store items.
This is such a cool headboard design. It looks very Scandi and will really elevate the look and feel of any bedroom space. The ottoman storage is super handy and can free up so much valuable wardrobe space!
The bed gives ample space for storage as we have limited storage. It has given us another room. The bed is sturdy and very secure. Great purchase
Some parts were faulty on initial delivery but that was sorted with a subsequent delivery. Its not the highest quality bed, but I could not find another wooden, white storage bed that I liked.
Really happy with the bed, solid and very good quality!
The first thing I noticed was the substantial weight of the delivered packages. This bed has been designed to be sturdy and the general level of quality was a pleasant surprise at the price level. Thanks to good packaging there was no damage on arrival and assembly was fairly straightforward given a bit of time to follow the comprehensive guide supplied. There's a decent amount of accessible storage space under this bed and I'm pleased to discover that comfort hasn't been compromised for this.
Absolutely delighted with the look of this bed and the ottoman storage is a wonderful addition
Its a great bed frame, it feels premium and looks great. Quite spacious as an ottoman too. We also asked to have it built and the team that came did a fantastic job. Bang on time, really friendly and efficient.
Amazing bed very sturdy and strong this is the 3 rd bed my family have purchased as we like them .
