We've all heard of the saying, "beauty sleep", haven't we? This isn't just a term coined for the sake of coining terms. Restful sleep isn't merely a requirement; it's an indispensable pillar of our overall well-being. The physical comfort we feel in our sleeping space directly correlates to the quality of sleep we enjoy. This is precisely the philosophy I kept in mind when I ventured out to evaluate the Elle Rosalind Ottoman Bed Frame, a collaborative marvel birthed by ELLE Home and Bensons for Beds.
First Impressions and Aesthetic Appeal
ELLE Home and Bensons for Beds, with their respective legacies in interior design and furniture craftsmanship, have effectively brought hotel-style luxury into people's bedrooms with the Rosalind Ottoman Bed Frame. Named after the iconic Shakespearian heroine, Rosalind, this bed frame exudes an air of understated sophistication while keenly prioritizing functionality.
My initial encounter was inflamed by my admiration for the design. This bed frame doesn't scream for attention; it subtly catches the eye with its confident elegance. The adjustable-width headboard, separated into three sections, bespoke an ingenious design that balances aesthetics with practicality. The adaptability of the headboard width allows for a bespoke fit within your space - a feature I've rarely seen even in the most premium of bed frames.
Functionality and Comfort Considerations
Functionally, the Rosalind Ottoman Bed Frame stands toe-to-toe with its visual appeal. The Ottoman style storage unit, which opens up the entire bed base, is a terrific solution for those in need of extra storing space while not desiring added furniture in their bedrooms. Although we tested it in store, the mechanism seemed reliable and user-friendly.
From a comfort perspective, the Rosalind hosts a fully boarded mattress base. This firm foundation is a critical detail that offers solid support, vital for any mattress type and consequently, your sleep quality. The walnut-effect feet seemed to give the bed a floating appearance, a trait adding charm to its overall design.
Envelope all of this with the avant-garde LED lighting under the bed, an inclusion that amplifies the overall ambiance while contributing significantly to the ease of accessing your stored items. This feature particularly stole the show for me during the demonstration - an inventive element that merges aesthetics with practicality.
Quality of Fabric
In terms of fabric, we’re talking about a beautifully textured, soft woven material that is available in two variants. The texture of the fabric felt wonderful under the fingers - quite plush, but with a robustness that promises durability.
Slight Downsides
However, every rose comes with its thorns, and so did the Rosalind Ottoman Bed Frame, albeit few and far between. The absence of a removable fabric cover left me a tad bit unsettled, because although the fabric is of high quality and designed to last, we must acknowledge that accidents happen, and a removable, washable fabric cover would come in handy in such scenarios. My suggestion would be to invest in a good quality mattress protector to preserve the bed frame's brilliant aspect.
Customer Reviews
It wasn't just me who seemed taken by this bed frame. The customer reviews reflected a similar sentiment. Majority of the customers were left impressed by not only the design and aesthetics of the Rosalind Ottoman Bed Frame but also its promised comfort delivery and smart living design.
Final Verdict
The Elle Rosalind Ottoman Bed Frame is a combination of comfort and style. It steers clear the notion of extravagance that overpowers practicality without compromising on a luxurious appeal. Although there were little negatives here and there in terms of fabric cover and slightly expensive pricing, the positives seem to outweigh the slightly less favourable aspects considerably.
Through this product, ELLE Home and Bensons for Beds have managed to pull off the challenging task of combining style, comfort, functionality, and luxurious appeal in a package that is worthy of a second glance. I'd leave it on you to decide whether this bed frame suits your needs and preferences, but from my perspective as an industry professional, I believe the Rosalind Ottoman Bed Frame could make a great addition to many bedrooms!
