...or is a nice bed impossible to find?!

I've been looking for weeks!

My criteria is:

double
to go in a pale grey room - so white, grey or metallic (no wood or fabric in case they don't look quite right)
possibility of under bed storage would be nice but not essential

Why is this so impossible to find? Am I just being far too choosy?

I needed a 4ft bed to fit a room. It took a while but I found a white metal frame bed with wooden slatted base on Ebay which was just what I wanted, however I actually searched every listing in the size rather than using the search terms because they tend to miss things out.

I bought a mattress from an independent shop which took a lot longer as I tried them all for hours, went to lunch then went back and tried them again to be sure of getting the right one. It is the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in.

They seem to appear for sale in phases so maybe you need to keep looking until new stuff is available.

Have you tried the Cotswold Company?

My IKEA bed is all of those things

We have this, it is fabric but against a dark grey wall I think works well. The gas lift ottoman storage is AMAZING!!

We got a cheaper version of this from Benson's, but this is the nice one.

I have the bed and now want the pale grey walls (trying to wean fiance onto the idea).

Hypnos, sooooooo comfortable. Expensive but worth every penny.

Another vote for Ikea. We have a few of their beds - excellent

We got our bed from the Cornish Bed Company cornishbeds.co.uk

We paired it with a Hypnos mattress. Worth every penny - no other bed measures up!

Is there anywhere you can try Hypnos mattresses?

Premier Inn beds are Hypnos.

You can buy the premier inn bed on the hypnos website. You can buy the other range in stores or online

We got a lovely one with a grey frame and headboard - we went for a tempur mattress but you can have any mattress - we went first to "and so to bed" and they priced it all up... £7,000!!!

Went to bensons for beds instead and got it for a much more realistic price! You could try their website and see if they have anything you like?
