Features you should know about the Virage Ottoman Upholstered bed frame
This is the part of the review where we analyse individual features of the product in more detail. We will first focus on the base and under bed storage, and then you will be able to learn more about upholstery, colours and other important characteristics.
Sprung slatted base
You will very rarely see the base of the bed, in this case the sprung slats that make up the base. You will only see them when you assemble the bed and after that when you flip and rotate the mattress. But you shouldn't forget how important they are. Slats are key to a comfortable night’s sleep. This bed frame features sprung slats that are an upgraded version of traditional slats.
They have a different shape, which you will notice by the upward curve. Thanks to this upward curve slats have similar characteristics as springs and hence the name. Due to flexibility, this type of slats not only affects the quality of sleep, but also makes the mattress last longer, because slats absorb movements and reduce wear and tear.
Ottoman bed with underbed storage
You always need more storage space, especially for things like winter duvets and spare bedding. That is why the Ottoman bed frame is one of the most popular types of beds on the market since it is the ultimate space saver. Ottoman beds are also called storage beds because of the Ottoman underbed storage space.
Under the mattress and slats, you will find storage where you can store all those things that you do not use often. Since the gas hydraulic system is very durable, you can also put away things that you use more often because it is easy to get to storage, and the system will work for a long time.
Upholstered design
We believe that you will instantly fall in love with the upholstery of this bed frame. It looks nice and makes this bed sleek. We couldn’t find anywhere what material was used for the upholstery so we contacted Bensons for Beds support.
Kudos to the guy from support who was very kind and answered our question quickly. He informed us that the material is a blend of cotton polyester. It is a fine material, which is usually very durable.
Two colours
Two colours are available – Gray and Oatmeal. Both colours are very light, especially gray. These are elegant colours that should fit well into any interior. However, it would be good if Bensons for Beds offer another colour, some which is a little different from these two, just in case if some customer has a different bedroom in mind.
5-year warranty
Bed frame is a bulky and expensive product that you do not want to change soon. That is why it is important to buy a quality one and check if it comes with a warranty. Generally a bed frame made of high-quality wood, metal and fabric should have no problems with durability, but better to be safe than sorry. This bed frame comes with a 5-year warranty which is adequate and gives you a piece of mind.
Easy self-assembly
Virage Ottoman bed frame requires self-assembly. There is no option to have a delivery team assemble a bed frame for you. But don't worry, assembling this product is rather simple. All you need to do is follow the instructions that you will receive and have basic tools. Also, our recommendation is not to try to assemble it yourself because you probably won’t succeed. You need at least one more person to help you because there are a lot of parts and most of the parts are heavy.
Review of Virage Ottoman Upholstered bed frame
Virage Upholstered Bed Frame is an Ottoman bed frame available in three sizes – Double, King and Super King. The wooden base is made of ash which is strong and dense wood, but lighter than oak. Sprung slats contribute to comfort and provide support, as they are flexible and adapt to your movements. This is why they are much more forgiving to the mattress than classic slats.
The gas hydraulic system raises and lowers the bed without having to move the mattress to reach large under-bed storage where you can place even a suitcase. The bed is slightly raised to make it easier to clean the underneath.
It is upholstered with a blend of cotton polyester, and you can choose between two neutral colours – Gray and Oatmeal. Warranty is valid for 5 years.
KEY FEATURES:
- Type: Ottoman
- Size: Double, King, Super King

- No matter how much you toss and turn in your sleep, this bed frame will remain stable

- Plenty of storage space that you can reach thanks to the high-quality gas hydraulic easy access system.
What we don't like about the Virage Ottoman bed frame
- Although not the most expensive, it falls into the category of more expensive Ottoman bed frames on the UK sleep market

How is this product better than some other similar ones?
When you look at the reviews on Trustpilot you will see that there is only one 1-star review and no 2-star reviews, so that speaks volumes about the quality of this product. We also hardly have any criticism, so all this overall makes Virage Ottoman Upholstered bed frame better than some other similar ones. If we have to single out a few things, it is the quality of the wood and materials used for the upholstery, as well as the fantastic gas lift system. Odds are you will not regret paying 450£ or more for this great bed frame because it will provide you with excellent sleep and storage for many years.
How did we test the product?
As you might expect, shipping is free. On the website you will find that free delivery is available in approximately 1 week. That is accurate information, at least from our experience.
After the bed frame was delivered to us, we first checked each part before assembling it. We recommend that you do the same, because if you notice a defect of any part, you can report it. But if you notice this only when you assemble it, the manufacturer may consider that you have damaged it during assembly. Assembling is easy and shouldn’t take too much time when two people are doing it.
We immediately noticed that the Virage Ottoman Upholstered bed frame is very stable, even when you raise the base to get to storage. We tested different types of mattresses on it and had no problems at any point. After more than 10 days of testing we were ready to write this review for you.
