About the Wilson Upholstered Ottoman Bed Frame
Last checked
An upholstered fabric frame with a scrolled head end and matching foot end puts the Wilson in the softer, more decorative ottoman camp rather than the plain storage-base camp. The storage brief is the real point. Its lift system can be assembled to open from either side, using colour-coded fixing points, which is a useful practical detail in bedrooms where one wall, radiator or wardrobe run dictates access; that is more flexible than a standard end-opening ottoman and cleaner than drawer storage in rooms where drawers would clash with bedside furniture. The trade-off is mechanical complexity: an ottoman bed asks more of its metal lift frame, side rails and fixings than a fixed upholstered bedstead or a drawer divan, because the same structure has to support the mattress and repeatedly hinge up under load. On paper, the fabric finish and scrolled shape are aiming above a purely functional storage bed, while the side-choice lift is an honest, useful feature rather than decorative padding. The spec does not suggest a stripped-back guest-room frame; it is a full storage bed with a style-led head and foot, so the gain in hidden capacity comes with more parts to align, tighten and keep stable over time.
The ottoman mechanism makes most sense for smaller bedrooms, flats and homes short of drawer space, and the strongest owner praise lines up with that: buyers repeatedly describe the under-bed area as genuinely useful, easy to access once built, and large enough to reduce the need for extra furniture. Several also like the look, with the fabric finish and scrolled ends giving it more presence than a plain divan base, and recent owners tend to describe the lift as smooth and the finish as good. Structural noise is where confidence drops. A recurring complaint from low-scoring owners is not the fabric but the frame behaviour: bolts needing repeated tightening, creaking, movement in use, bowed side sections and the mattress-support frame slipping or bending after months rather than years. That customer signal cuts against the manufacturer’s quality language, so durability should be judged cautiously, especially for heavier couples, restless sleepers or anyone expecting a silent long-term main bed. Assembly sentiment is mixed in a more practical way: some found it straightforward, one substantial account managed it solo with difficulty at the base, while another flagged heavy flat-pack boxes and stiff gas pistons. The Wilson suits buyers who value hidden storage, a softer upholstered style and side-access flexibility in a space-poor room; those prioritising a decade of rigid, quiet support should look instead at reinforced ottoman bases or a fixed divan construction with fewer moving parts.

Having this bed frame has made my room tidier and sleeping more enjoyable. The additional storage space is a great advantage and the fabric is quite durable and stylish.
Beautiful bed, really like that it has the safety catch for the ottoman to avoid accidents. Well made and was built by delivery men in half an hour! Definitely recommend
The bed is 10/10 looks gorgeous and has lots of essential space underneath too. Perfect !!
Arrived promptly, the delivery men were very friendly& helpful carrying the items to my flat. The bed took 2 people to build and took a couple of hours. Its a very sturdy bed and looks amazing when finished. Great price also! Would recommended to people to purchase!
Decent bed not gonna liee
I ordered a double bed in Denim navy colour at a discounted price for my son after he came back home finished his university course. With love and attention to details I read all the reviews and looked around until I got confident that the best quality for the price was my purchase from Dreams. The delivery was prompt as arranged, the manual was easy to read and the outcome was a very successful and beautifully looking double bed. The textile is good quality, lovely denim colour and the stiches are precise as well. The bed is very comfortable and big enough for two average size persons.Thank you!
Great bed very sturdy 5/5
Very practical frame with ample space underneath, and mechanism that makes opening the space underneath very smooth. It is big enough to store all duvet covers, extra duvets, blankets and so much more, so that room remains tidy. I have the same frame in a different size (double) since June 2022 and and I know it's solid - it is still as good as new. Hence my confidence that this king size version will also last! Head rest is very comfortable and mattress sits well on top of the frame. No issues whatsoever, I highly recommend this frame!
Beautiful and stylish…very good price
Excellent service from Dreams from order to delivery and assembly. Very impressed
I really wanted an ottoman bed to last, but at the same time I was on tight budget. The Wilson ottoman is the best one value/quality I found. tricky to build as it has many components, but managed to build with my partner in less than 2 hours. the lifting mechanism is hard at the beginning, but started to smooth up a bit later
So glad I went with the Wilson over cheaper alternatives from other stores. The quality of this bed is great. No metal frame squeaks or noises like I have experienced with previous ottoman beds! It was easy to build and great that you have the option to choose which side you want to have lift! Colour and texture of the frame are also perfect ( taupe velvet)
Great service from start to finish was so pleased that I went into the store so that I could see the bed and try it out, went for the Assembly service which took less then 20 min and all packaging was taken away would definitely recommend waterlooville branch
Nice looking bed frame. Good storage space.
Very stylish bed frame. The ottoman storage is vast; holding all of my bedlinen, including a thick winter duvet and is easy to access.
Fantastic looking and quality bed for the money
Lovely bed! Not too bad to put together either!
