Corrigan Buttoned Ottoman Bed Frame

Our Thoughts On The Corrigan Buttoned Ottoman Bed Frame

As someone who has been in the mattress industry for quite some time, I have had the opportunity to scrutinize and test countless bed frames and mattresses, be it memory foam, spring, hybrid, or anything in between. This time around, I set my sights on the Corrigan Buttoned Ottoman Bed Frame from Bensons for Beds. The in-store experience itself was quite enlightening and gave me a unique opportunity to assess this bed frame's qualities upfront.

First Impressions

The first thing that caught my eye with the Corrigan Buttoned Ottoman Bed Frame was its opulent look. The luxurious buttoned headboard exudes a certain sophistication and made me instantly imagine how it would transform a bedroom. It was the elegance and style that first drew me in. However, don't let the luxurious aesthetics fool you into thinking this bed frame is all about looks.

More than a Pretty Face

The fusion of style and functionality was admittedly impressive. The Corrigan bed frame comes equipped with a wooden storage base that provides a viable solution for storage woes. The Ottoman storage feature, neatly hidden beneath the mattress, offers generous space for stashing away linens, duvets, even clothes if you wish. This is where the Corrigan bed frame really hits a home run. Space optimization is a gamechanger, especially for those who value both form and function in their furniture.

Fabric and Comfort - A Mixed Bag

You have the option of choosing from five different opulent woven and chenille fabric options. While at first, this seems like a plus, I confess I found myself a wee bit sceptical. The store sample felt comfortable enough, but it's difficult to truly judge how these fabrics will withstand wear and tear or regular cleaning. However, I would consider the availability of options a positive aspect as everyone's décor is unique and a choice between fabrics ensures a more personalized look.

Smart Slats - Smarter Sleep?

The Corrigan bed frame boasts a 'Smart Slats' sprung slatted base. This 5-zoned slat system claims to provide targeted body support and air circulation. Though my in-store testing was limited, the bed did feel comfortable, and I could sense the additional support these slats afforded. However, the true effect of this design is something that might only become evident after extended use.

Is Matching Furniture a Match for You?

For those keen on maintaining a cohesive aesthetic, matching furniture like a bedside cabinet and a chest of drawers is available. A clean, uniform look is always pleasing, but remember, the cost can add up. It's essential to weigh the benefits against the increase in expenditure.

Should This Bed Be Your Bed?

Ultimately, the Corrigan Buttoned Ottoman Bed Frame does offer an attractive package of style, luxury, practicality, and substance. From my in-store trial, I found it to be a solid bed frame with a lot to offer. However, my sceptical side says that a home trial would provide a better understanding of its long-term suitability and durability. So while I appreciate its features and found it comfortable in my limited testing period, be certain to consider your unique needs and personal lifestyle before making the leap.
