About the Lucia Upholstered Bed Frame
Last checked
Upholstery and a softly curved sleigh outline define the Lucia, putting it in the decorative bed-frame camp rather than the plain divan or minimalist metal-bedstead camp. The useful spec call is the storage format: side drawers under a sleigh frame are a conventional mid-tier way to add capacity, but they are less efficient than an ottoman base because access is split into separate boxes and depends on clearance beside the bed. Drawer storage is convenient but compromised. Compared with lift-up ottoman storage, which opens the full base cavity and keeps bulky bedding easier to reach, this layout is better for spare linen and lighter items than for turning the whole footprint into a heavy-duty cupboard. Owner descriptions also point to a simple solid-slat platform rather than a more generous sprung or fully fixed slat system; that is honest for many mainstream upholstered frames, but repeated slat movement complaints suggest the execution is more basic than the smart outer styling implies. The sleigh shaping also adds visual softness and a hotel-style feel, though the curved foot end will take up more room than a flat-ended storage divan.
The drawer-and-sleigh combination suits a bedroom where looks matter and there is enough side clearance to pull drawers out without fighting wardrobes, bedside tables or a wall. Style is its strongest signal. Buyers consistently describe the Lucia as smart, more expensive-looking than expected and good value when discounted, with several happy owners also finding it straightforward to assemble and sturdy once set up. The storage claim needs narrowing, though: the manufacturer presents the drawers as a practical hiding place for linen, and owners do confirm the drawers can take bulky bedding, but a recurring complaint is that the drawer construction struggles when treated as everyday storage for heavier clothing. Several unhappy owners also flag slats dropping out, shifting sideways or feeling too short, so couples or restless sleepers who put more movement through the frame should treat the solid-slat base as the main risk area rather than assuming the upholstered surround tells the whole build story. Movement noise is another repeated weak spot, with creaking and squeaking appearing in longer-term accounts rather than just first-week grumbles. Assembly feedback is mixed: some found the build simple, while one detailed account described having to make holes for drawer castors and centre support fixings, so self-assembly may feel less polished than the finished bed looks. Buyers wanting a smart upholstered sleigh bed with occasional drawer storage fit this frame most cleanly; households needing robust daily storage, a very quiet platform or a heavier-duty slat system are better served by ottoman bases or higher-tier frames with fully fixed slats.

Really happy with this sleigh style bed, the storage drawers are spacious and it gives our bedroom a beautiful look.
Great quality and stylish
Great solid frame with drawers
I love this Bed it looks so lovely, & would blend in any room
Beautiful bed frame. The frame is well built and adds luxury to the bedroom. It is just what we were looking for and compliments the room perfectly.
Nice bed, sturdy and good looking but was delivered with a Big long scuff mark on the top of the bottom part of the bed frame. Called to get it replaced and was told it was discontinued. Was offered £100 which I refused, got offered to choose a different colour but I couldn't as I bought £300 worth of furnishings to go with the bed. Managed to get £200 refund but I'm really not happy and seriously disappointed. I wish I had been told that that colour was getting discontinued because if I knew that I wouldny have bought it incase something like this was to of happened.
Lovely cosy bed, very pleased with the quality.
Love the Lucia bed! We got it in the cream which goes perfectly with our interior and it looks fantastic! The two chaps who delivered the bed were also really friendly and very helpful.
Great bed, stylish, sturdy, and great built in drawers.
Beautiful design and nice delivery service.The only thing I don't like is lack of care for details - loose threads, not very straight cuts of wooden parts.Even the drawer wasn't easy to adjust to make it right ( when we tried to adjust it on the same level/ line as rest of the side it left us with a huge gap ..ufff .My daughter is happy with her new bed so that's what really matter
Well built bed, fairy easy to put together, we had the super king and I built on my own in a reasonable time, read some reviews about loose slats but mine screwed down well and dont move, very pleased with the purchase.
Very nice comfy bed for guest run just what needed not over complicated
We love our new bed its simply design and material is pure class my missus chose the velvet and its such a nice finish the ubderbed storgae is an absolute game changer and so happy we went with the super king! I was able to put the bed up myself the build is very simple great product and design.
Instructions straight forward to follow and really happy with finish of the bed. The drawers are much bigger than we originally thought so there is a lot of storage
This honestly is the best and most comfortable bed Ive ever slept on. I suffer from a very bad back and I do feel since Ive purchased this bed its 100% helping. So glad Ive made this purchase.
Lovely, well thought out bed frame, didnt take too long to put together and very well made, quality materials
Extremely comfortable and it looks fantastic. I am so happy with my Lucia bed. Fairly easy to assemble too.
Really strong and stylish bed. Drawers are sturdy and spacious. Bought with matching ottoman . Very happy with both.
Really wonderful bed, lovely to look at, a bit tricky to assemble myself but I absolutely love it. The fact the drawers arent attached to the bed too is great as if something falls down the back you can get it back easily
Excellent bed, Have the Lucia in single for my daughter. Paid extra for the set up, the team respected my property and demonstrated how to maintain and look after the bed. All in all excellent product and service by Dreams.
