About the Jenkins Upholstered Ottoman Bed Frame
Last checked
The Jenkins is aimed at anyone trying to make the bed do wardrobe work without giving up the softer look of an upholstered frame. It is an ottoman bed frame, finished in woven fabric with button detailing, and the storage is accessed by lifting the mattress platform rather than pulling out side drawers. This is storage-first bedroom furniture. The base uses lift-up boards, not an exposed slatted deck, with vents cut into the mattress support to reduce the stale, sealed-box problem that boarded ottomans can create. A boarded ottoman platform with ventilation is a sensible construction choice for this type of bed: it gives broader mattress contact than open slats and feels closer to a divan-style support, though it will never breathe as freely as an open-slatted bedstead. The attached, buttoned headboard puts it in the upholstered statement-bed camp rather than the plain storage-base camp, which gives it more visual presence in smaller rooms while still serving a practical storage role. The compromise sits in access and assembly: ottoman storage is neater than drawers where bedside furniture blocks the sides, but the lift mechanism and base boards make it a more involved build than a simple metal or wooden bedstead.
The solid, boarded base is the main suitability clue. It suits standard mattresses that benefit from even support, and the customer signal backs up the spec: storage space is the repeated win, the lift is widely described as easy rather than heavy, and the frame is praised for keeping downsized or cluttered bedrooms organised. Style also lands well, especially the softer fabric finish and colour options, though colour expectation is not risk-free; one detailed complaint centred on the oatmeal shade looking wrong in the room, and another flagged a musky smell after delivery. Setup is the more repeatable snag. Assembly is described as manageable with two people, and one longer account needed a video check before realising the ottoman would only sit correctly once the mattress weight was on the base, so this is not the same experience as slotting together a basic slatted frame. Stability feedback is stronger, with one month-in use noting no wobble or squeaks, which is useful for couples sharing an ottoman where movement can expose weak fixings. Best matched to storage-hungry main bedrooms, downsizers and couples wanting a padded, tidy-looking frame with a divan-like support platform; a buyer chasing maximum under-mattress airflow, a confirmed solo build, or the lighter feel of visible slats belongs in open-slatted bedstead territory or a higher-service ottoman category.

Lovely-looking ottoman bed with a tall buttoned headboard, and the under-bed storage has already swallowed up my spare bedding with ease. It took two of us about an hour to put together and it feels nicely solid for the money.
Pleasing to the eye, this bed frame provides both style and practicality. The handy under-bed storage is a game changer for keeping the room clutter-free.
Lovely frame, arrived within 8 weeks as specified.
The ottoman style is really easy to lift and doesnt feel heavy at all. Theres loads of storage space underneath, which makes a big difference for keeping things organised. Perfect for if you need more space.
Lovely and spacious storage ottoman, love that the boards lift up in the base so you can clean under it..
Delivery on time and the bed was assembled quickly and properly. Bed is extremely comfortable and couldn't ask for more.
Good customer service and pleased with the service
Love this bed. It looks fabulous in our newly decorated bedroom. Biggest plus is the fantastic storage underneath. It is so easy to access and there is loads of space for storage. Love it!
I love my new bed. The quality is amazing, its solid. It has a proper base inside the ottoman, not just a fabric sheet as some other stores were selling. Highly recommend!
High quality, straightforward to assemble, nice materials
The instructions to build it were clear and simple to follow (with 2 people). The opening and closing feels very smooth and stable and there is ample space inside. The headboard is also very comfortable for sitting up in bed on.

Fantastic all round , well built and very practical.
Having had an ottoman bed at another property before, when our bed needed replacing, another ottoman bed was what we went looking for. We looked at quite a few different ones in our local Dreams store, but settled on this one as it met all our requirements. It suits our bedroom & meets all our storage needs so an excellent buy,
The bed frame is really good for storage and the headboard is lovely and soft.
Lovely bed frame, ottoman function is very handy - good value for money
The perfect mix of comfort, subtlety in style and practicality for storage.
