Choosing a new bed is one of the most important decisions you'll make for your bedroom — it shapes how well you sleep, how much storage you have, and the whole look of the room. Our bed guide walks you through the different types of beds we offer, the storage options available, and how to pick the right size, so you can create the bedroom of your dreams with complete confidence.
Types of beds we offer
Divan Beds
A divan is a classic, upholstered base that sits on the floor and provides a sturdy, supportive foundation for your mattress. Divans are space-efficient, hard-wearing and offer some of the most flexible storage options on the market — making them a favourite for bedrooms of every size. Pair a divan base with a matching headboard to complete the look.
- Best for: versatile storage, a clean tailored finish, and easy assembly.
- Storage choices: no drawers, 2 drawers, 4 drawers, or end-of-bed drawers depending on the size.
Ottoman Storage Beds
Ottoman beds lift the entire mattress platform on smooth gas-assisted hydraulics to reveal a huge storage compartment underneath — the whole footprint of the bed. They're ideal if you need maximum storage without taking up extra floor space, perfect for bedding, suitcases and seasonal items.
- Best for: the largest possible storage capacity and a clutter-free bedroom.
- Good to know: leave a little clearance at the foot of the bed so the base can lift fully.
Upholstered Bed Frames
An upholstered bed frame is a statement piece, wrapped in soft fabric with a built-in headboard for a luxurious, hotel-style finish. Frames sit slightly higher off the ground and let you choose your own mattress separately, giving you full control over comfort and feel.
- Best for: a premium designer look and a coordinated headboard and frame.
- Pair with: the mattress of your choice for a tailored sleep experience.
Wingback Beds
Wingback beds take the upholstered look a step further with a tall, winged headboard that frames the bed and adds a real sense of grandeur. They make a stunning focal point in larger bedrooms and bring warmth and comfort to the space.
- Best for: a bold, elegant centrepiece and a cosy, enclosed feel.
Beds with Footboards
Many of our divan and upholstered designs are available with a matching footboard, giving the bed a fully finished, symmetrical frame from head to foot. A footboard adds structure and a more traditional, complete look to the bed.
- Best for: a classic, framed appearance and a defined bed shape.
Kids' Beds
Our kids' upholstered storage beds combine soft, child-friendly fabrics with practical built-in storage to keep toys, bedding and clothes neatly out of sight. Sturdy and stylish, they're designed to grow with your child.
- Best for: children's rooms where storage and durability matter most.
Storage options explained
One of the biggest advantages of our beds is the choice of built-in storage. Here's how the main options compare:
- No storage: a clean, straightforward base — ideal if you already have wardrobes or drawers.
- 2 drawers: handy everyday storage on one or both sides of the bed.
- 4 drawers: generous storage for bedding, clothing and more.
- Ottoman lift-up: the maximum storage option, using the entire area beneath the mattress.
Headboards
The right headboard ties the whole bed together. We offer a range of heights and styles — from low-profile to tall, statement designs — in a variety of fabrics so you can match your headboard to your base and your bedroom's style. Taller headboards create a striking focal point, while shorter designs keep things subtle and modern.

UK beds come in standard sizes. Use the guide below to find the right fit for your room and the people sleeping in it:
| Size | Imperial | Metric (W x L) | Ideal for |
|---|---|---|---|

| Single | 3'0" | 90 x 190 cm | Children, teens & single sleepers |
