Elle Josephine Ottoman Bed Frame

Our Thoughts On The Elle Josephine Ottoman Bed Frame

Let me introduce you to a bedframe that carries the proud name of Elle Josephine Ottoman, a creation of the renowned ELLE Home in exclusive collaboration with Bensons for Beds. Having experienced this bed frame first-hand in-store, I have garnered a comprehensive understanding of its charm, comfort, and unique design.

My First Impression

As I first surveyed the Elle Josephine Ottoman Bed Frame, it exuded an aura of luxury, mirroring trends of Linear, Japandi, and Hotel Boutique styles. The bed frame stood there as a statement of elegance and sophistication, which no doubt would pique the interest of lovers of chic interiors.

Whilst the general verdict of its style appears positive, some may look askance at its striking design. After all, beauty is subjective - and while I personally consider this bed frame a piece of art, others may find it a tad too ostentatious for their taste.

The Design

ELLE's dedication to elegance is unmistakable in the Josephine bed frame. Bearing a narrow, vertically stitched headboard, complemented by black velvet piping around the headboard and foot end, the bed frame resonates both depth and contrast. As an enthusiast of finer details, the inset walnut-effect feet that seemingly let the bed hover above ground was a delightful surprise. Both innovative and aesthetically pleasing, the 'floating' illusion undeniably makes this bed stand out.

However, do bear in mind that such distinctive design elements may not resonate with all. The unconventional "floating" look might be seen as quirky by traditionalists, and the plethora of details could be seen as busy by minimalistic decor enthusiasts.

Functionality

Moving along from the design, the bed frame strongly emphasises utility. Incorporating modern living needs with elegance, the bed comes with a side-opening ottoman base. The bed's storage is accessible from either side, offering a flexible, practical solution for city dwellers.

The sleeping comfort hasn’t been compromised either, thanks to the inclusion of a sprung slatted mattress base. This offers important support, whilst ensuring adequate ventilation for a restful night's sleep. However, it's critical to remember that the actual comfort derived from this bed is heavily reliant on the mattress that you pair it with. This being said, the overall comfort primarily depends on the mattress of your choice.

Fabric and Guarantee

Available in two sumptuously soft velvet fabric options, the Elle Josephine beckons anyone in search of luxury and an elegant bed frame. But what struck a chord with me was the five-year guarantee, reflecting the confidence Bensons for Beds places in its product quality.

While the velvet fabric does increase the bed's opulence, there could be noticeable wear and tear over time - particularly if you have pets prone to scratching. This merits consideration if you aspire for longevity alongside luxury.

Customer Reviews and Personal Experience

Diving into the customer reviews, mixed feelings are evident. This resonates with my personal experience too. Indeed, the Elle Josephine Ottoman Bed Frame is a product that celebrates extravagance, personifies gracefulness and offers practical solutions, championships which no one can dismiss. However, its intricate designs and specific aesthetic might not prove to be universally favourable. As a reviewer and a lover of unique designs, I appreciated the blend of style and practicality, but the design might be seen as a tad overwhelming by some.

To conclude, the Elle Josephine Ottoman Bed Frame is an exquisite, quality bed frame that marries innovative design with functionality. However, it is a niche product that belongs to a specific aesthetic realm – a pièce de résistance when styled right, a glaring misfit when not. Is it for everyone? Decidedly not. But does it cater to those who crave modernism with a touch of opulence? Definitely, yes.
